Today, is Winning with Women Wednesday and MILSPRAY’s Order Fulfillment Technician, Erin Barrett would like to share with you three off-roading online communities that help her decompress her stress throughout her work week.
One of the ways I unwind from a either a hectic work week or my personal life is to go for trail rides in the woods. I usually go with my husband or a group of our friends. Off-roading is the activity of driving or riding in a vehicle on an un-surfaced road or track that consists of materials like sand, gravel, mud, snow, or other types of terrain. It is a great way to get out, enjoy nature, take pictures, swim in the creeks, and of course get a little dirty from the mud. Also, I love working on my Jeep and my restoration project truck, a 1990 Ford F350.
Here are my top three choices of online communities that are a good start to finding the latest and greatest news about off-roading:
1. Pirate 4X4 – Is a website that provides the latest off-roading industry new and events. It also hosts active forums on: competition information, land usage/trail information, and latest gear.
2. NAXJA – The North American XJ Association (NAXJA) is a Jeep Cherokee Club forum that exists to serve responsible XJ-Jeep owners and enthusiasts who want to participate in events and relevant discussions. They also showcase re-modifications and re-builds.
3. Jeep Girls Finish First – Is an online community that was developed and continues to bring attention to women in the Jeep World.
Erin Barrett is an Order Fulfillment Technician who is responsible for the filling and shipment of orders for MILSPRAY’s military touch-up paints. She has been with MILSPRAY for 3-1/2 years and is an integral part of the Order Fulfillment team.

Today, is Winning with Women Wednesday and MILSPRAY’s Accounting Technician, Colleen Tully would like to share with you four ways you can revamp your work week with a workout.
At times throughout the work week it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and/or tired from your job. But did you know that by working out you could help reduce your stress at work and feel less tired throughout the day?
Studies have shown that women who workout (ex. walking, biking, aerobics, or weight training) are much happier in their lives.
That is why when I need a few moments to regroup, I take to the roads for a good run. I find that running for me truly helps to clear my mind. Now, I realize that not every woman can’t find the time throughout her day to run, or may not even want to run. But wouldn’t it be nice to have some “You” time?
What I am trying to say is that as women we have so many things on our plate that we need to do, that we often place time for ourselves at the very bottom of the list. However, you need to stay happy and healthy in order to continue to assist others and succeed in your career.
This is why it doesn’t have to be all or nothing when it comes to working out. You CAN find a happy medium to winning in your career, while working out at the same time. You just need to take action in finding that happy medium for yourself.
Here are my 4 tips for staying on track to powering through your work week, even when that silly thing called, “Life” tries to get in the way:
1. Set a goal. Let this be your own goal, not a goal that anyone else sets up for you.
2. Be consistent. Whether it is 5 minutes or 60 minutes set a goal that is reasonable for you to maintain. For example, a 10 minute walk three times a day will add up to a half hour a day before you know it. Creating shorter workouts are a quick and convenient to still succeed in achieving fitness goals for those who do not have a 30 minute block of time in their day to commit to a workout.
3. Make a commitment. You deserve much more than excuses for not working out. Be determined to change your mindset and look for creative ways to add workouts to your agenda. For example, if you have a desk job, start taking a ten minute walking break for lunch, walk during commercial breaks while watching television, or when going shopping at the mall finish a mall lap before going into a store.
4. Be ready. Half of the battle of not working out is not being prepared when the opportunity arises to be active. Remember to have a pair of sneakers handy and even a set of workout clothes in the trunk of your car, so you can change if the opportunity arises.
Just remember, “Your only one workout away from a good mood.”
