Fitness, Luggage & Fashion

Last weekend I received invitations to my first three holidays parties, and as I put those parties in my calendar I realized that Christmas is only five weeks away. Five weeks! Five weeks to do all decorating, baking, dieting to fit into that dress I bought two months ago, and of course, shopping. But it’s all doable. Especially with this handy list of fantastic fitness accessories anyone would be happy to receive this year.

During the holidays, everyone seems to focus on the perfect jewelry gift for her. But what about the other half of that equation? Doesn’t the Mr. who’s been good all year long deserve something shiny this winter, too?

As a style writer, I’ve fallen into the mental rut of “EVERY big occasion is a great occasion for jewelry,” but this time, I am definitely, definitely right about it. There’s no better time of year to celebrate the woman in your life with something sparkly than the holidays, and there’s no better way to do it than with something lasting!

This month marks a pretty great month at Best Buy: it’s November, so the holiday season is really starting to gear up, and (even better), this is the month that Best Buy is beginning to carry Fossil brand items.  

Looking to pick out a gift for someone who is super into health and fitness yet want to stick to a budget? Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered with several great picks to help get you started.

Choosing a new luggage set is kind of like choosing a new boyfriend: you want something cute, but the right kind of cute; sturdy, but the right kind of sturdy, and cutting-edge, but not confusingly cutting-edge. We at the Plug-in Blog can’t help you chose a life partner, but I can certainly help you with picking out the perfect set of luggage to accompany you on your fall/winter getaways!

With the recent successes of our women’s nationsl team and rise of the MLS, Canada is hopefully on it way to becoming a more successful soccer nation than its been in recent decades. The training aides have improved too. Take, for instance, the adidas miCoach smart soccer ball. Would you believe it tells you exactly where you’ve struck the ball and how fast your shot was? That’s just one of the many features this ball has. Come take a look!

As a luxurious summer for most of us draws to a close you may find that despite being fairly active you’re not feeling as energetic or healthy as you think you should. If you’ve fallen off the fitness bandwagon it’s not that hard to get back on—if you have the right tools to help you. Enter wearable technology (and a few other little extras) that can help you kick things into high gear and get you to the next level.

For years the term Nordic Track was synonymous with exercise machine for many people; with roots that reach back to 1975, Nordic Track is now a force for innovation in the fitness equipment space. They’ve come a long way from the classic cross-country ski machines, and today I’ve got three treadmills that will help you get the cardio and strength you need to stay fit and get stronger.  

Making the time to include physical fitness in our busy weeks can sometimes be really difficult and often sometimes gets missed out on completely. Having a home gym or even just one exercise machine makes it so much easier to squeeze in a workout. Read on to learn about ProForm and their great line of exercise equipment available at Best Buy.
