Top Ten Gift Ideas for a Crazy, Insane, Intense Running Friend

Running has been in my life for seven years now, and it has always been a release for me. When I was in full remission, I would always try go running again. When insurance companies tried to get the best of me, I would run it off for half an hour or if I was nervous about a future procedure, running a steep hill relaxed my nerves and calmed me down. I take running seriously, and it is much more than a simple recreational sport. That is why, this Christmas, I am offering you a list of the top ten things any crazy runner, such as myself, would hope to see under a Christmas tree. Happy Holidays!

Website and Product Review: chroniquecouture.com

I have just discovered my new favorite website- beside my own of course. It's called Chronique Couture and it was begun a year ago by a young woman named Kimberly who was diagnosed with MS. Like most young women, she was saddened by the lack of practical, yet fashionable "medical accessories." Anyone who has to deal with a chronic illness knows how much the little things in life can lift your spirits. This website features items to make your life easier, as well as put a smile on your face.

The website itself is fun to peruse, with bold and colorful backgrounds and a sassy and chic look. If you deserve a treat or you need a gift for someone who struggles with a chronic illness, this is a great place to shop.

Product Review: Hermann Miller Aeron ergonomic chair

The Hermann Miller Aeron is the ultimate ergonomic office chair, chosen by the best employee friendly companies. Instead of a solid seat and chair back, there are instead fiber mesh fabrics that are breathable and form-fitting. It distributes your weight evenly and minimizes pressure. The chair has a high and wide contoured back, designed to take pressure off the lower spine and a waterfall front edge to reduce pressure under the thighs. The chair is fully adjustable (specific adjustments vary according to chair model): seat height; seat tilt, so you can have a chair that moves smoothly with you as you want it to, allowing for correct support in all positions; tilt tension, so the chair will move as easily as you want it to; tilt limiter; extra lumbar and posture supports; and arm height and angle, so that whether you are working directly in front of you or reaching to the side, your arm can be supported. It even comes in 3 sizes, so that whether you are tiny or large there is one to fit you.

After being hospitalized twice in 2 months for a week long visit each, I have received some great and unique "Get Well" gifts.
