This series is easily becoming one of my favorites to write about. I add something to my cart and I think, ooo I can write about that in my next post! I hope you are enjoying them as much as I am!! Lately, I have been all about the workout wear to get myself motivated for my BBG workouts, which by the way- I am loving!!! You can read about how to get started with the workout here. I’m so happy I finally found something that I love and also that I am sticking too. More on that to come!
Life Updates
- One of my girlfriends decided it would be fun if once a month we all got together and had drinks. So we all went out last Friday and I had a blast. There were quite a few girls I didn’t know, but sometimes I think that is more fun because you get know new people. We had happy hour drinks at Beatrix (my fav!) and dinner at a sushi place around the corner. I’m so excited for this new tradition!
- Kurt and I had a mini date night last Saturday night at a restaurant right up the street called Saint Lou’s Assembly. I say mini date night because I literally wore leggings and had no makeup on. Date night to me is getting decked out! Anyway its the best, most relaxing restaurant. Super casual and the food is amazing. I had the grilled cheese with waffle fries and we had biscuits to start. The bread on the grilled cheese was cheesy asiago bread, so it was double cheesy. And the biscuits we had to start were amazing. They are crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, served with whipped butter and honey. My mouth is watering just thinking of this meal again!
- This weekend our friends from Michigan are coming to town and they have a little surprise for everyone! I don’t want to spill the beans so my mouth is zipped shut for now :). We are having everyone over at our place and I’m so excited to get everyone together!
What I’ve Bought
Shoes: Adidas, Nike here and here
In my last post I had my eye on these shoes. I went to order them, but they didn’t have my size and after reading reviews people thought they were just so so. I saw this pair on a blogger who was raving about them and they were on sale. So I decided to order them instead. And now I know why she was raving about them because they are the most comfortable pair of workout shoes I’ve owned. They are like walking on a cushiony sidewalk. They have a ton of support on the bottoms which make them perfect for BBG workouts. My feet tend to ache and hurt after doing too much jumping around, but when I wear these I feel no pain. They come in a ton of different colors too.
Top: Nordstrom
I ordered this adorable top for our trip next month to Florida. I’m a huge fan of wearing white, especially when you are tan!
Jeans: Madewell
The other day I ordered these jeans. Madewell jeans have easily become my new go to and it’s great that they are so reasonably priced. They have been sold out of my size in this pair so when I saw that they were re-stocked I jumped on it!
What I’m Shopping For
Cleanser | Moisturizer | Retinol Pads
I had a mini revelation last week when I got my eyebrows done. I always bug Constance (of Maven Esthetics) to add Facials to her service list mostly because I trust her and she has the most amazing skin- ever! We got to chatting and I asked her about some of the products I was using because I was breaking out so badly. Well, she basically told me I was overdoing it on my skin! I was exfoliating too much and then I was using a creamy cleanser which wasn’t helping my situation. She recommend this cleanser and said that at my age, I needed a little more oomph. She also recommended this moisturizer. And I was already using these retinol pads, but she recommended I only use them every other night. Keeping my fingers crossed this will solve my issues!

I’ve been overly obsessed with finding good workout gear lately. I’ve been shopping for it all- sports bras, leggings, tops, shoes, etc!
What’s in my Shopping Cart
*Click to shop*
Here are some random items I’ve added to my cart lately. I’m the queen of adding items to my cart and never buying them. I always think I will come back and purchase them. I mostly do this so I don’t buy stuff I don’t really need. If I’m still thinking about it the next day, that means I really like it!
Updates
A mini update to my last post– I finally got these in the mail and wasn’t at all impressed when I first got put them on. I was like, this is it?? But then I wore them around a bit and slowly started to fall in love. I thought they were a little cheap feeling because they were so light on my face. But now that is the best part about them. Whenever I wear sunglasses for a long period of time, I always get huge dents in my nose from how heavy they are. I hate that! At times, I even have to remove my sunglasses because the weight of them makes me uncomfortable. My eyes are super sensitive so I always want to wear my glasses. I’ve convinced myself that the weight of them is what sets them apart.
On my Radar
Bag: Gucci
I’m still lusting over this bag. I look it up just about every other day and I’m currently saving all of my money for it *sigh*. My goal is to order it by March or buy it when my girlfriend comes to visit in March. I’ve just gotta keep on saving!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
