Work out in style
So, with it being January and the time of resolutions, I thought an entry on how to look good at the gym would help any waning resolve you may have.
I'm going to do this by brand. The first brand here is my favorite, Lucy. Their pants are more comfortable, and fit better than any other pant I have ever owned. They also last an extremely long while! Definitely worth the money. Here is a collage of a few of my fave. pieces.
1. The Lucy Perfect Core Pant $98.00 (and well worth every single red cent!)
2. Race Your Heart Out Half-Zip $89.00
3. Cross Back Tank $59.00
4. Fit Squad Crop Pullover $34.99 (hurry it's on sale!)
If you're unable to splurge on this amazing pair of workout pants, there is an alternative: Walmart has some great yoga, dance and workout pants by Danskin that range from $12-$24. I actually own a couple pairs that I bought so I wouldn't have to ruin my Lucy pants at work, or during hikes, rock wall climbing, etc.
As far as sports and yoga bras, well I wear only the Victoria's Secret Pink yoga push-up. It is so comfortable, looks great, provides support, and I can wear it anytime, not just at the gym. While you're on their site, check out their yoga gear too! Victoria's Secret also makes some great workout gear!
Anyhow, that's how I try to get in a great workout, and still feel and look great! I'll try and post an entry on some track suits, hoodies and sneakers that are great for working out, walking, hiking, etc in the next week or so.

Aloette
So, I have discovered a new face cream and cleaner by Aloette. Though I still love Arbonne's FC5 night cream and eye cream...I love Aloette's maximum moisture complex as well as their moisturizing face wash! It is winter, but according to my face it may as well be Summer! I'm not dry in the usual areas of my face (forehead, nose and hair line) during this time of year. Only Aloette can explain this, since up until I started uisung this product, I was dry as a bone!
I use Arbonne FC5 night cream and eye cream, but what changed me was Aloette:
maximum moisture complex and hydra-cleanser

Boots on a budget
I apologize for the lack in posting the past two days---it's been kind of hectic for this girl!
So, it's January, and we all know that Winter is a time for boots! I don't know about you, but I love boots, and I also know that it can be very expensive to stock up a good boot collection. Though, I suggest mixing up your collection with several boots that are inexpensive as well as a few splurges to give your look a nice edge, there is no shame in sticking to looks for less. I'm only going to post photos of two boots that I personally love. For less pricey footwear, I always go to ShoeDazzle. If I'm tight on money I can still shop because all of their shoes are 40-50 dollars. Typically shipping is free on purchases over $40, and their sale shoes are always great too---sometimes buy 1 get 1 free or half off. Some fabulous deals, so go check them out! Here are two of my favorite boots from Shoe Dazzle's boot selection:

Lotions, lotions, lotions.
I'm generally a total crazy person when it comes to lotions. The reason for this is that I have such dry skin, especially during the colder months. In fact, I tend to use a lotion in the morning and one in the evening just to keep my skin soft and supple. I have really taken to using aromatherapy lotions in the morning and evening (an energizing orange ginger in the morning to wake me up and a soothing lavender chamomile in the evening to calm me down and put me to sleep). These two lotions that I choose are from Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy. They make me feel great, smell great, and my skin hasn't been getting dry! Now, those are just my morning and evening. I have one other lotion that I'm obsessed with: Laura Mercier tarte au citron body souffle. I'm in love with the sweet, but citrus-esque smell. I like to use this one for going out, or during the day if my legs are dry. And lastly I like to use Crabtree & Evelyn's La Source lotion on my feet during pedicures, or on my hands---I keep some of it on my bathroom vanity next to the hand soap. It has a great, clean smell and it keeps my hands from drying out after washing them.
So that is it. Yes, I have 4 lotions that I use quite often. Keep in mind that I really only use the two consistently I'm not literally putting lotion on 30 times a day, as it may sound in this. Photos of the lotions are displayed below. Let me know if you use any of these, or try them. What do you think?
