Working Out In Style

Hey Lovelies! As many of you might not know this year I've started working out 5-6 times a week at the gym or at home as a way of trying to get into better shape by the summer :) Its been super fun learning all sorts of new workouts and of course buying new exercise clothes! Today I wanted to share with you my all time favourite workout clothes that I use the most! 

My lululemon sports bra is the best!! I've bought sports bras from lululemon, walmart, jcpenny and even superstore {Joe Brand} but this one is by far my favourite! It is a little pricey in comparison to other options but in my opinion its worth the money. Workout clothes are used almost everyday and they last SO long if you get good quality!

My Nike Free Runners are the bomb! I wear these bad boys EVERY time I work out and they haven't failed me yet. They're so comfortable and I love the colour. No one will ever have trouble seeing me :) They also have great support if you need like to give your feet a treat. I wear these indoor on the treadmill and doing the elliptical and I also wear them outdoors for running. 

For Christmas my cousins bought me some super cute hair ties from Nordstrom in the states. I have a leopard print one which is so fun and I always get compliments when I wear them. They keep my hair out of my face and make it easy to workout!

My nike shorts are great!! They're super light weight and I love the purple / lime colour combination. I bought these shorts for about $32 at the bay while I was living in Oklahoma and they were definitely worth the money! 

What's your favourite workout outfit?

Five Things To Love

Hey everyone! Hope you had a wonderful week. This week has gone by SO fast for me. I can't believe its already friday!! Here are five things I have been enjoying this week:

{Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred!! Its AMAZING! I'm on level 2 and I can feel myself getting stronger every day. I'm definitely the newest fan of Jillian Michaels, she's SO inspiring and keeps me going}

{Spending Valentines Day (or Single's Awareness Day as I like to call it) with my wonderful friends}

{I came across this quote on pinterest and I LOVE it. So often we want to go out and try and fit in where we don't. Bloom and grow where God has placed you. You have your friends and your family for a reason. Be a positive influence and a great example of God's never ending love to them!}

{Enjoying a wonderful long weekend of being crazy with Kendra}

{A little experiment in the kitchen: Ratatouille. It was my first attempt at making ratatouille but it tasted delicious! Next time I'll have to work a little more on the design :)}

Butterscotch Chocolate Cookies

Hey lovelies! 

It's been so rainy and wet outside I decided to stay home yesterday and do some fun baking. I was originally going to make some easy chocolate chip cookies. Plain and simple. Half way through mixing all the ingredients together (and snacking on the cookie dough a little...) I realized I didn't have enough chocolate chips so I decided to do half chocolate chips and half butterscotch chips. I also substituted corn starch for baking powder as an experiment I heard about on pinterest, apparently it makes cookies tasty more fluffy (sounds good to me)! 
These cookies were a perfect treat to make a rainy day a little more exciting.

Thankful For You

Hey Lovelies!

We all have that one friend we can always count on, always laugh with and will always LOVE. This past week I was staying at my best friend Kendra's house while my parents were away and I had so much fun with her. She's so funny and always makes me laugh and feel better! We've been friends for over ten years and I appreciate her so much. God definitely knew we would make great friends when he planned our lives out. There's no special reason for this blogpost I just wanted to share with you guys someone that I really value and love!! Yay for friends!
We had a bit of fun on photo booth this week I thought I would add in for laughs :)

{The typical LG picture... peace!!}

{This looks a little like an engagement picture to me... Kendra's definitely judging me for being CRAZY}

{Practicing our surprised faces.. can you say #wifematerial?}

Sunsets and Smiles

Hey lovelies! Recently my beautiful friend Rebecca was over and we decided to go on a little spur of the moment photo shoot. Most of the pictures didn't turn out too well due to us laughing WAY too much, but it was a fun day spending some time together. I'm so blessed to have a friend that makes me laugh and smile so much and is always there to talk to! Yay for the friends God's blessed us with.

In the pictures I am wearing a scarf I knitted a while back, my steve madden boots (favourite boots ever!!), my olive trench coat from a thrift store and some leggings to finish off the outfit.
