    Ellie Activewear for a New Year

    Hello Loves

    I am here to admit I’ve lived in Phoenix since 2005 and have never been hiking! Ellie Activewear sent me a new workout outfit to feature and I thought why not try this?!? I asked my friend Karin to go since she is the hiking expert. This mountain is right behind our neighborhood (like a 5 min drive) practically and I finally tried it.

    This month’s Ellie box contains three pieces for their small box. The FIT tee is so cute and made of the softest breathable cotton. I am wearing the small. The second item is a white sports bra with black trim and straps—so cute. I am wearing a small.

    The last item is these leggings. I loved them when I got them so much. The criss cross details are so cute. I always get a medium in my pants ( I’m a bit bigger in the behind area lol).

    We actually took Karin’s dogs with us for the hike this day. They love it up there. I left my dogs at home. Cleo pulls like crazy and Whiskey always lunges and wants to fight with big dogs…sigh so unruly!

    This is Kippy, he is a Border Collie rescue, who does agility and is a barn hunt champion! He is so sweet and such a monster too haha!

    This photo cracks me up. He was pulling to go back down and I’m so used to little dogs. He is so strong!

    The view towards my neighborhood in Moon Valley is so pretty from the mountainside.

    You can still get this outfit for January 2018 box from Ellie Activewear  for $39.95! Get outside and enjoy!

  • December with Ellie Activewear & Dat Mat

    December with Ellie Activewear & Dat Mat

    Hello Babes!

    This month is so the worst for me with all the running around and eating! No not healthy, just junk lol. And my favorite cocktails too…sigh. The Ellie Activewear people have done it again thankfully. Getting my monthly box in the mail just is so motivating. Love getting excited about moving!

    This month’s 3 piece outfit is just the cutest. The bright blue top has a mesh back. The sports bra has matching mesh on the front too.

    The pant is a crop style with the colors playing with the top. My top is size small, the sports bra is a small and my pants are medium.

    This is the first time I’ve felt that one of my Ellie pieces didn’t fit me right. I have a really long torso and the top is a few inches short lol. A tad cold for December even in Phoenix haha.

    Now for my mat! This gorgeous print is actually a design by local Phoenix artist Paige Poppe. The company Dat Mat reached out to me to try one of their mats.  I was so excited when I saw this print! Such a fun surprise!

    They send you your own carry bag too, which was so nice. I saw such cute designs on their websites from donuts to french bulldogs! I will link them below. Would make such an awesome gift for someone!

  • Sunset Cliffs in Ellie Activewear

    Sunset Cliffs in Ellie Activewear

    Hello Lovelies

    This month I received my Ellie Box just in time for my trip to San Diego. I was so excited to see that it was more atheleisure style for the November box.

    I went to visit my friend Anna  who lives in Ocean beach. We went for a walk along Sunset Cliffs for the first time. Last time I visited she took me for a quick drive by this area and I knew I  wanted to go back. I can’t believe how pretty it is to hike/walk there. Everyone knows I’m not a fan of hiking here in Phoenix, the rocky trails are just waiting to reach out and twist my ankle lol.

    This view is so amazing! And my outfit from this month’s Ellie box contained this cute legging and white top, but the real surprise was this black wrap. It is made from a non-wrinkle fabric, so perfect for travel. I wore it on the plane ride back the next day too!

    As you can see it was a bit windy that day haha! I actually loved the ocean breeze. I miss living near the beach so much. I used to live in South Florida, but the California coastline is so very different. Florida is all flat along the beach. Not here the cliffs are amazing!

    The trails wind up through beach line, which is actually high up on the cliffs. I just loved this path which was a bit easier to explore than right up along the edge lol.

    The white long sleeve tee has a mesh back and is the softest tee I have ever owned. Obsessed with it!

    The leggings are a marbled tone with fun criss cross cut outs. So cute!

    Just magical! I could walk along there everyday! I’m always game to visit San Diego. I love spending time with my friend Anna and her little daughter. It is so good spending time with people who have known you for years. All the heart eyes to them for hosting me (ok I basically said I’m coming lol—love them!)

    This is the box to get and you get the three pieces for only $39.95. Don’t miss out. Seriously my fave of all of the months so far!

  • Ellie Activewear Subscription Box

    Ellie Activewear Subscription Box

    Hey Dolls!

    So I just received my first Ellie Activewear box and I have to say right away I’m super impressed.  I knew that I would be getting a workout outfit, but didn’t realize there would be more surprises in the box!

    Each box contains a complete cute workout outfit.  This July box is still available! This box also has an Ab workout wheel and a Bally’s cooling towel. The fit and quality is always a concern with my workout clothes. I love these pieces! The sports bra has the cutest cut outs and the fit is very soft. I got a size small.

    It is really comfortable, and the sports bra is described as medium support. My workouts are usually not that intense, so for me this is perfect. If you tend to workout out more hard-core you might need different support (or if your boobs are bigger too haha). I love the contrasting piping to go with the pants.

    I don’t know why, but i’ve never bought workout pants with color blocking and now I’m obsessed. I was missing out lol. These pants I got in a size medium. I was again worried I might need a bigger size, but these are perfect.

    The tank top is just the cutest with the mesh back and a bright tangerine color. I like that the fit was a bit oversized, so that you know this one that I’m wearing is a size small.

    I love the matching hair ties by Zobha, but I can’t use them, except for decor over my real hair ties lol. They don’t have a lot of stretch so they can’t hold up my super thick hair. I can use them for a cute wrist accessory haha!

    So the important stuff. this is a monthly subscription box. You get all the items shown above for $49.95. Such much less than one pair of leggings at Lululemon! And you get the whole outfit with extra workout gear or surprises. I mean really this is such a good deal. Click on the link below!

    Hi There!!

    I am so excited to tell you about this latest collaboration. Hapari reached out to me about featuring and trying out their activewear line. I was pretty flattered! They started off as a swimwear company and have moved more into including activewear.

    Ok so those that know me well are aware that I am not a gym girl. Now this doesn’t mean I’m sedentary, quite the opposite. In 2004 I had a thyroidectomy after gaining over 30 lbs and being pretty sick. I was super skinny for my height before that so many did not realize that I was sick at all. I used to do 5 dance classes a week (ballet, flamenco, belly dance and contemporary). Nowadays, I do my kind of working out–not super structured. But it works for me.

    I love to walk with my dogs. Try to most days! Cleo is always in a hurry to get somewhere (not sure where she is pulling to get to lol). She is about 6 months old now and has a ton of energy. The other 2 have no choice but to keep up!

    I usually swim most days when my pool warms up too. But when its cooler out I love to ride my bike. I have a cute beach cruiser, yes with a basket on the front, that I ride for a good hour. Here in Phoenix, I try to ride as often as I can before it gets too warm. I’ve actually had my bike tires get worn out/ruined from the pavement being too stinking hot!! The jackets I ordered in size small also. I am crazy about the little thumb holes. Yes something that little makes me happy!

    I truly loved these Hapari FIT pieces. They are so well made. Hapari prides itself in fitting a woman’s body very well and their activewear is no different.The wide waistband on the pants is so nice to help hide my extra pouchiness haha.

    I really loved the way the sports bra fit and the higher neckline too. This is a size small. The pants are a size medium–I’m more “hippy” than the average girl of my height and weight.

    The solid black tank is very lightweight and super soft. I ordered the size small. Really loved this tank! The quality of this active is so well made.

    For me whatever I do I have to have music. With my dance background I love all types of music. Sometimes my “workout” is just dancing in my living room. So no one can critique my pathetic jete instead of a grand jete lol!

    I am trying to get back into actual classes, but life keeps getting in the way. I love nothing more than being on stage. I so miss it. No matter what you do keep moving. I am not in the league of the bloggers who are real fitness bloggers by any means, but if you can get a group of girlfriends together and just go out dancing its a great start. You burn a lot of calories and in heels! It’s an excellent workout. So to my friends at the Galantine’s party– in 2 weeks, Friday, we need to organize this for sure (you know who you are)!

    The best news is that everything at Hapari related to activewear is on major sale right now! The links above are for all the pieces that I received. Also don’t forget to check out Core water. I love the taste of their purified water, but best news is that they have just introduced 5 calorie flavored waters!! SO delicious and yet low calorie. No artificial sugars used to sweeten these waters.
