Youphoria Yoga Towel imagee

No more slipping on my yoga mat thanks to THIS!

/0 Comments/in /by

I originally got a Youphoria yoga towel benefits imageyoga towel to cover my mat to hopefully give me a little less slippage during yoga. (Turns out that is not really a practical idea as a person just slips even more.) At first I was disappointed but then learned to fold it up and place it at the front of my mat where it was within easy reach.

 

After using it for awhile this way now, I’ve come to LOVE my towel there! When my palms get a little sweaty I just reach out and dab them off on the towel which seems to just pull the sweat right off my hands. The towel has such a nice feel to it – the right amount of softness mixed with the right amount of “grip” to wipe your sweat off.

And having really bad knees, the best part about having the towel there is that I can quickly grab it and use it under my knees for a bit of padding when needed – after all, there’s nothing better than dual use.

I searched around for some time looking for the perfect yoga towel.

I checked numerous local stores and then did some research online. I chose this one for it’s size (24 inches x 72 inches), price and the description (because it sounded like it actually worked). I also loved the simple look of it.

I’m pretty thrilled with my yoga towel. It simply makes my practice (my cherished ME time!) that much better. If you are on a budget, it’s definitely something you could live without but I don’t see myself practicing yoga without a towel now!

Handful Adjustable Sports Bra – THE Sports Bra To Have!

/0 Comments/in /by

Wow, I am in love!

After years of wearing the same type of sports bra I decided my current ones were falling apart so bad it was time to suck it up and get new ones. I made my way to the store expecting to get the same bras I’ve always bought only to discover they no longer make them. I think I had a mini panic attack because I love to wear my sports bras around the clock – really, I even sleep in them to keep the lil’ (and I mean lil’) girls firm and in place! What was I supposed to do now?!?

I decided to collect my thoughts and not rush to any decisions. I checked several stores and looked around for something else that would fit like these bras did. First of all, let me tell you I liked these bras. I can’t say I called it love because there were a few things about them I hated (one of them being the fairly thin fabric … If you know what I mean). I also hated how they compressed me and made the girls disappear like a bad magic act. The straps stretched out horribly as well but that never bothered me as bad as the nipping. 

Enter Stacie, my bf and funky soul sister and the fittest mama I know.

Stacie told me about the Handful Adjustable Sports Bra and as I mentioned, I immediately fell in love with it. How did I not discover these sooner?? As the super shy and overly self conscious gal I am I was thrilled when I saw how there was no nippage in this bra! But what’s even better is that this bra, as it claims to do, FLATTERED, not FLATTENED (can I get a woot woot?!?)! Not to mention, the pads don’t move all over the place while wearing OR washing this garment (which is a huge bonus because I’ve always hated padded bras for the sheer reason it was like putting a puzzle back together to get the pads in right).

Nope, no more hassles like this to deal with when it comes the Handful Adjustable Sports Bra! And did I mention these bras are adjustable AND convertible so you can wear them with many styles of shirts?

Apparently these bras last for ages and don’t stretch out but I can’t vouch for that just yet because I haven’t had mine long enough. I do know that I just ordered 4 more of these bras then sent my girl Stacie a “love note” of how much I loved these bras but hated that I loved these bras because they are not exactly cheap. I can say, however, that you get what you pay for and these bras are worth every cent!

Healthy Tool For A Fresh Face!

/0 Comments/in /by

I got my Clarisonic Mia a few years ago and I still use it faithfully every few days. I love how vibrant and fresh my face and neck feel and the soft glow my skin that lasts for several days. Without fail, the day after I use it I get compliments on how fresh and revived I look.

Why use harsh chemicals on your face when you can use a more natural approach to exfoliation?

Granted, there are all kinds of natural face scrubs and even do it yourself scrubs out there but I have to say, I love the ease of this simple tool for a natural, clean approach to face care!

I was fortunate enough to get the Valentines version that came with a few samples and a cute carry case for the same price (I ended up LOVING the Josie Maran Aragon Cleansing Oil as well). There’s tons of cute colors and several other styles to choose from so go get yourself a nifty and healthy tool for a fresh face!

Clean Face Without Dryness!

/0 Comments/in /by

I got a Clarisonic Mia 3 (aka Aria) several years ago and it came with a couple of samples, one being the Josie Maran Argan Cleansing Oil. I’ve used pure Argan oil before on my face and hair as a moisturizer and I’ve loved it but I had always used different face washes.

I decided to give the Argan Cleansing Oil a try and low and behold, I ended up loving it! Not only does it smell lovely, it doesn’t leave my face feeling sticky or heavy like you’d think an “oily” face wash would do. Instead, I feel like it takes the gunk of the environment off my skin without stripping it, making it dry or making it feel greasy. All I can say is that my skin feels just right! Having a clean face without dryness (especially in dry Colorado) has made me stick with this awesome cleanser for several years now!

Use WHAT For a Body Loofah??

/0 Comments/in /by

Who’s your daddy??

Forget using this bad boy for washing dishes …

You are reading this correctly …

The Scrub Daddy is my favorite way to LOOFAH my BODY.
Click To Tweet

Yes, that is what I said. I use this kitchen utensil for shiny, healthy skin. I keep one in the shower and every time I take a shower I loofah my body with it before it gets wet. (Sure, it works well when it’s wet too but it really gets the job done when it’s dry!).

I use it to improve circulation and I swear it has helped with cellulite (yes, I have cellulite). My leg hairs sometimes grow inward and using this before I shave helps in an amazing way!

I have had the same one since the Scrub Daddy first came out and it’s still holding strong!

 

 

 

 

My skin is shiny and new every time I step out of the shower – Try this easy body loofah solution and let me know how it goes in the comments below!
