What’s in My Gym Bag

By Amra B. 

Many of you have been asking for a post about some of my favorite beauty products; however, since summer is coming up, and many of us are working on getting into shape for the bikini season, I have decided to share some of my favorite gym goodies I take with me to a workout session each day.  

 


I usually prefer to use large gym bags as they allow me to accommodate everything I need; I have found quilted gym bags to be super comfortable to carry due to their soft material. Additionally, my yoga mat, five-pound weights and a pilates ring are always present. I love to adjust the difficulty of the class exercise by adding my own weights and/or using the pilates ring when doing crunches. I also try and bring my own yoga matt so I can stretch anywhere, improve flexibility, and reduce muscle injury. 


My beauty routine when exercising is pretty simple; I wear sunscreen whenever I go outside (even in winter). For summer time, I use SPF 50 on my face and an SPF 30 on my body. I bring a thermal water spray with me to use after a workout; it helps me get rid of the flush and calms the skin on my face. I also love to add a little bit of a lip-gloss, and I love this nude kind that looks natural but polished. I use Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray to add texture to my hair and tidy it up after exercising. 

Outfit: Quilted Koala Gym Bag, tights Reebok, shirt Victoria Secret, and sneakers JackRabit.

Inside the bag: Quilted Koala Makeup Bag, Eau Thermale Avène (Ultra-Light Hydrating Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+), Eau Thermale Avène (Thermal Spring Water), Sisley Lip-gloss #2, Bumble-and-Bumble Surf Spray, Pilates Super Ring Everlast, and Dumbbells Empower

How to Rock Your Sneakers Outside the Gym

Image
By Kati Miller Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that sportswear is the new “it” trend this season. But pairing sneakers with our everyday outfits can seem like quite a daunting task, especially when we’re not wearing just jeans and a tee. Here is a list of suggestions on how to wear this fashion trend and stay stylish while keeping comfortable with this new style... 1. Ditch the chunky shoe for cult trainers. Don’t be afraid to wear a nice pair of cult trainers or saddle shoes as a light alternative to a chunky shoe. Hogan makes an adorable pair of wing tips and Nike makes a much more affordable version of the mesh cults as well. This style works especially well with dresses, skirts, and skinnies! The Lovely Pepa (Spanish fashion blogger) 2. Clashing Colors. Dark and light hues now go together!  Contrary to what you have been taught in the past, clashing colors is not only in but it’s the must have look.  Try to incorporate a color from your outfit into the ...

How to Decorate Your Home For Fall

Image
By Avery Carruthers Who here is sad that summer is quickly coming to an end? I don't know about you, but as the days come to a close, I become more and more excited for fall! In Seattle, fall is an amazing time of year that I often welcome with open arms. The air is crisp, the leaves turn brown, and the pumpkin spice lattes are in full effect (even though they came early this year).  However, I understand that not everyone is as eager for fall as I am. For some, fall represents the beginning of a new school year, or the transitioning of one job to another. Nonetheless, I am here to challenge all of YOU to stop dreading autumn and to EMBRACE it! Through these helpful home interior design pieces, hopefully they will help you look forward to the new season.  How to Decorate Your Home For Fall: 1.) Pumpkins  I could go on and on about my love for pumpkins. You name it, from the pumpkin patch to carving a pumpkin for Halloween, I go all out. Thanks to Pinterest, there are some...

Charlie Chaplin: My Style Icon

Image
By Elma B. I have always been a huge fan of the the Charlie Chaplin era, particularly the style from his iconic films  The Tramp (1915) and The Modern Times (1936). The legendary films were dominated by wide legged pants and bowler hats. I added my own modern twist to the look by including these wide legged overalls with polkadots; white sneakers, all the rage this season; and a simple white tank top. (Outfit details below...) My Style Inspiration: Charlie Chaplin While the classics, like the Charlie Chaplin films, remain a definite influence and an inspiration on my style choices, I always throw-in the everyday modern pieces. Who inspires your everyday style? Leave a comment below, I love hearing from you! Until next time, xoxo from the Upper West Side of Manhattan!
