Happy Fit Friday Everyone! Nothing gets me ready for a fun weekend getaway (I am off to San Diego if you missed yesterday’s post here) like a zen yoga session in some new fitness apparel. Since moving to LA, I have toned down my style just a tad (I am still not giving up neon + heels haha) but began embracing more fitness apparel that can be worn as casual wear on the weekends (or even weekdays…my office is kind of awesome about that :p)! When RBX asked to send along their new active capris I said YES because what girl doesn’t love brightleggings that offer comfort, support and are the perfect match for her yoga mat 😉 Yes…it just so happened to be that these leggings matched my yoga mat because of course a gal matches her fitness apparel to her fitness equipment!
Happy Workout Wednesday Loves! I’m excited to share my newest workout gear with you guys because honestly it’s made my workout routine that much better! I am one who loves slimming bottoms…especially when heading to the gym. The saying goes black is slimming, but these Marika Magic Slimming Capri Leggings take ‘slimming’ to a new level!
I decided to take them for a test run with my pup Charlie. He’s an energetic little guy and he loves going for walks…or should I say runs…
What I love about these leggings is that they are so comfortable that I found myself wearing them not just to the gym, but to run errands, lounge around the house and I am even wearing them now as I am sitting here typing this post…these are my new active and lazy pants 😉 {PS You Can Buy Them 30% Off With Coupon Code: MM30 Valid Through August 31st!}
They are available at Marika online as well as at Kohls and other fab department stores! Speaking of Kohls that brings me to my other newest fitness gear obsession…my brand new Running Gel Asics <3
I’m seriously obsessed with these bad boys. They are like walking or rather running on air. No longer do I get shin or foot pain after running for 30 minutes, I can keep going and going and I don’t feel a thing…they are a blessing in disguise, trust me, you need a pair! {Nordstrom has a great pair of Asics on sale now thanks to their Anniversary Sale}
Because I have to always match lol…it’s the fashionista inside me I suppose, I paired my blue and peach Asics with a nice peach tank, not sure where it’s from but Nordstrom has a similar one for just $28!
Now I’m off to the gym…while I love getting an extra workout from running with Charlie (who by the way is very social…follow him on instagram loves @CharlieTheKCCS…not kidding my sister maintains his account lol) My main workout is heading to Boot Camp classes either once or twice a day. It’s a mix of cardio and weight lifting and let me tell you after just one class your body is hurting….feel the burn baby 😉
Happy Friday loves! This summer time weather has us shedding our winter layers and showing some skin and what better way to have your skin beach ready with that perfect glow than with some Green Tea body scrub! Luv Body Scrub sent me these fabulous body scrubs and I got a little down & dirty (followed by clean of course)! Now it’s time to share with you guys that I’m on bit of a health kick…meaning I’m changing my diet and exercise routine in hopes of shedding the winter weight and toning up for that dip in the pool in a hot bikini. Green Tea, luckily is a healthy part of any diet and is on of the proven ingredients to aid in weight loss <3 Finally something I don’t have to give up…(I had to give up almost everything) The product is great. It smells like Green Tea and Lemon…feels amazing and leaves your skin glowing! The instructions are simple and easy…right on the back of the package, talk about ‘that was easy’ 😉 When your working your body hard at the gym, sometimes a little R&R is in order and a body scrub is just what the doctor ordered. Leaves you feeling fresh, invigorated and glowing! Now that’s a hot accessory 😉
With summer approaching and the spring weather heating up nothing beats a nice delicious salad as the perfect lunch time entree and Wendy’s now has us fashionistas hooked on their ‘New Salad Collection‘ featuring an Asian Cashew Chicken Salad, a BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad and more!
While in LA Kristi, Rachael and I attended a blow dry event hosted by Wendy’s at which they had us enter their Polyvore style contest! Wendy’s was so kind to give me 3 Gift Cards to Giveaway to my readers! Details Below <3 Read more
Today is the beginning of the end…kind of contradictory, but what I mean to say is today is the last day I will ever need to wear glasses or contacts because I am undergoing LASIK eye surgery!
I first learned I had to wear glasses because I was near-sighted (meaning I can’t read things 5 feet in front of me, never understood why near-sided means the opposite of how it sounds and vice versa…but that’s another story) when I was in 2nd grade. I was devastated as any child would be when they learned they had to wear the dreaded ‘glasses’. Now while I wasn’t a fan of having to wear them, I was a fan of driving my mother crazy when it came to choosing frames year after year, because as a fashion lover at a young age…I was most certainly not wearing one pair of frames for the rest of my public school career. I went through tons of pairs till I ventured into my Junior/Senior year of high school (I graduated a year early, hence doubling up everything in one year).
I began using contacts and was instantly thrilled and felt like a new person, however wearing them all day from school to work to play, they began to irritate my eyes and make me virtually blind as soon as 10pm rolled around. I dealt with it up till now but finally after tons of encouragement on how life changing the LASIK procedure is, I decided it was about time to ditch the dry eyes and dirty contacts covered in my eye liner and mascara for perfectly clear vision!
I am beyond excited for my procedure today, but at the same time a bit nervous. As with any procedure there’s a slim chance that something can go wrong, so here’s to hoping I don’t end up blind 😉
Wish Me Luck! 🙂
