Ellie Activewear Goes To Palm Desert

Hello Lovelies,

I can’t believe that a week ago I was in Palm Desert, California for what seemed like the quickest weekend getaway. It was so much fun that it felt like it flew by! I knew that I needed to pack my newest Ellie Activewear outfit for this trip.

Ever since I decided to start walking more I’ve been looking for cute activewear sets. Usually, I like walking with my pups (but not both of them together haha, they can be monsters). This three piece set came with the cutest tank, which you can leave loose like I did, or tie in the front or back for a different style. Ellie Activewear now offers three choices of sets, which all contain a top, a sports bra and a legging.

The front of the tank had the cutest criss cross detail at the neckline.

I ordered the tank in a size small for me. The leggings run a bit more fitted so I always order the medium.

Part of the fun while shooting looks is just giggling when people look at you taking pictures walking back and forth many times haha!

The details on the leggings are so fun with the floral print!

I ordered the size small on the sports bra. I love the details on it!

The mesh on the leggings is not itchy at all by the way!

I love just walking the neighborhood near me wherever I’m staying. I love checking out local businesses and meeting new people. My workout routine is pretty easy going. I move around all day, walk the pups (sometimes haha) and ride my beach cruiser. I was going to Barre3 last year, which I loved, but I had an knee injury last August and I haven’t been back since. I need to start again! I am so not a gym girl, but put me in a dance class and I’m super happy.

That’s a sneak peak of Palm Desert too! Keep an eye out for much more to come about my time at the Hotel Paseo and of course the El Paseo Fashion Week Shows and the Food and Wine Festival!

Ellie Activewear Turns Pink

Hello Loves,

This month Ellie Activewear has given their subscribers three choices of outfits to pick from. I, of course, saw the pink floral print and knew this was the one for me!

Of course, my workout (aka partner in crime), Cleo was up for an adventure to the park. She is so funny and has a lot of energy. For those of you who don’t know Cleo’s story. I was working in Northern Arizona last summer and a lady was on the Main Street giving away free puppies. I was completely freaking out and got her number, because they were all soooo cute! The day I met Cleo I actually liked the boy pup (her brother Butler, aka Mr. Darcy). I called the lady the next morning. She agreed to let me take all the puppies and find them homes here in Phoenix, through a dog rescue, Paw Town Angels that I had fostered with earlier in the summer (my parents kept that pup Lola btw she is in Kansas).

If you are catching on I am the world’s worst foster haha! So back to Cleo’s story, the lady who’s dog had gotten pregnant met me at the Wal-Mart parking lot after work and she showed up with not two puppies, but four!!

I was shocked and slightly panicked lol. She handed me a cardboard box and left. I had to then drive back to Phoenix with four puppies crying and trying to climb out of the box for the next hour and a half!!

It truly was my six year old self’s dream come true!! Puppies galore!!

So I had four puppies and Lola and Whiskey all at my house! It was so fun. As I got to know all the puppies each day I realized that Cleopatra was the CRAZY one. Yup, that’s why I chose her. I like my dogs to be “on fire” at all times lol.

Her siblings all went to amazing homes, Spencer and John adopted little fluffy Stella (the runt haha), Kim and her family, adopted Butler (he is so super happy and loved), and a real nice couple adopted Gidget. These pups in case you are wondering are Jack Russel/Maltese mixes. I later found out they are actually called Jacktese!!! Yes, that’s really a thing, google it!

So, I am one of those people who takes my furbabies everywhere (ok almost everywhere)! She does have some cute outfits. I will link Cleo’s t-shirt for those Charlie Hustle and KC fans. I think this this month’s Ellie is by far my favorite. The details are so pretty and feminine. Look at the straps on the tank! And the pink allowed me to match Cleo too.

I love girly details on my activewear so much!

I most of all love activewear that lets me play and move with comfort and of course style!

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!

A Walk In The Woods in Ellie Activewear

Hello Lovelies!

I did a quick day trip to northern Arizona this past weekend. As I am really over 90 degrees and sunshine haha. I have written about Cottonwood, AZ before, but it seems I like it more every time. It also has been fun taking people with me for their first visit, this time my photographer Jacqueline. I’m hoping she moves there so we can go visit more often lol.

This was a really pretty woodsy walk, of course the hundreds of grasshoppers thought so too! (NO not a fan at all)!!

The Jail trail starts at the end of Main Street near the Old Jail parking lot and winds its way up to the state park or back to town.

My latest Ellie Activewear box had just arrived, and I knew that the new outfit would be perfect. I’m loving the new 3 piece box. The October box includes a jacket, a t-shirt and these leggings. All the pieces have always been so well made. I love that as the weather has gotten a bit cooler the pieces are thicker and warmer!

The jacket has cute details like the sleeve with the thumb hole and the zipper neckline.

I love the cut out details of the t-shirt and the matching color blocking with the leggings.

I can’t wait to go back and spend more time on that pretty trail. I’ll link below so you too can get this Ellie outfit for $39.95!

Ellie Activewear August Box

Hey Babes!

I have the best news about Ellie Activewear . I just found out that they are now offering a second box for subscribers. The original box includes a 3 piece outfit (a bra, a top and a legging) and 2 workout items (total 5 items), such as the ab roller wheel that I got in my last box (check out that post HERE ). Now you can get the outfit only for $39.95. This is such a good deal. Now if you want the original box you can still get it for $49.95.

I love the quality of the activewear chosen for each month’s box. The sports bra comes with removable padding and the orange/red details are so cute!

I love how the materials allow you the stretch and move easily.

The tank top is very lightweight and has an airy feel about it.

Trying to keep up my Barre3 balancing pose. It only lasted for a second because I fell over right after haha!

The legging details are cute and breathable. The mesh panels help air to circulate during your workout.

Ellie includes the most darling rose gold gym backpack. I love that you can pack you outfit and go straight to workout in this bag!

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!

Hapari FIT Activewear

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.
