Hello! I need your help with my Disneyland Half Marathon costume. And I also have a great partnership to fundraise for the children’s organization I’m running the race with – the Children’s Bureau.

I’m running the Disneyland Half Marathon with Team All 4 Kids. The group helps children in danger of abuse or neglect around LA and Orange Counties.

I am working with Nicole to bring you some great Running themed jewelry.
When you buy any piece from the Keep Collective or Stella & Dot and mention Monica Olivas a portion of the sales will go to Team All 4 Kids!
What’s even better – they have a lot of running themed options. I love it.

My personal favorites (read: hint hint Mom, please buy this for me)…
The engravable disc charms on Stella & Dot




From Keep Collective I love the inspirational pieces. They’re called “keys” and you can order them individually and put them on any of the bracelets on the site.

You combine the ‘keys’ with the keepers to make your own look.

You can order directly from Keep Collective or Stella & Dot with those links and a percentage of the proceeds will go to Team All 4 Kids automatically.
OR you can email Nicole and she can put together a cute combination for you and do a mock up so you’ll know what it will look like! Email her here: nicolefeltenbrinson@gmail.com and mention Monica.
Thank you! I really appreciate your support. Love, Monican.
I usually wear my red/white mini dot running skirt (Running skirts brand) and a black tank. I don’t do gloves or anything like that. I have these little furry Minnie Mouse ears that clip on my BICband (real headbands give me a real headache).
It’s pretty simple, but that’s me! 🙂
Have you already been Merida? I’ve been trying to remember
Nope! Not yet.
The dentist’s niece (Darla) from Finding Nemo. Pigtails, purple top, plaid skirt, maybe a bag with a fish in it, or fake braces.
Ahhh!! This is a great idea! I need a friend to be Nemo.
I really want to earn a running necklace- I heard at the San Francisco marathon you get one. Does anyone know about UK-based races where you get something like jewellery?
All the best with the fundraising!
Thank you!
It’s a dream of mine to do the Disney Princess Half Marathon in Orlando someday! You should dress as Cinderella! Or Ariel… you have the hair thing going for ya 😉
What a great idea, love the key’s and keepers idea!
Can wait to come to SoCal for the Disneyland Half!!
See you there! Are you dressing up?
You should dress up as Megara, full of sass and spunk she is an awesome character. Plus not everyone dresses as her so it’s not as common
Love the 26.2 disc charm! I have one just like that and used to wear it daily. Running a marathon was a HUGE deal for me (growing up hating running and being overweight I never thought I could) so it was great to have it as a daily reminder of what I can accomplish.
Same. 100%. I never thought I would run a marathon, it’s probably my proudest accomplishment 🙂
