Santa came early!

bag

I’d been lurking the oGorgeous website since the new bags were released, and the above silver bag was on my Christmas list. I was beyond excited when my friend Cassey offered to send me one- it just arrived today. As you guys know, I hardly ever do product reviews on the blog, but wanted to help spread the word about these beautiful bags, especially since Cassey is a good friend of mine and is so very talented. 

I love the option of the short straps, or the long strap

and couldn’t wait to fill it up with some of my gym staples to take to work.

It has a lot of pockets, and there was plenty of room after I added the following:

bag (4)

-wallet

-dry shampoo

-moisturizer

-eyeliner

-deodorant

-lotion

-floss

(I don’t mess around with makeup in between classes, but if my face is washed and I have moisturizer and eyeliner on, all is bueno)

-outfit (Wunder Unders and tank)

-snacks (in case I want something different than what I brought, or need more fuel)

-sneaks

-Polar FT40

-iPod and headphones

*I forgot to add my bamboo facial cleansing cloths. They’re perfect for in-between sweaty classes

The bag has some amazing features, and I’m so excited to start using it every day. I was worried it might be too blingtastic with the sparkles, but it’s perfect. Ideal size, compartments for jewelry and extras

and clasps that rotate (tangled gym bag straps are no fun).

Bella was a fan, too :)

Tonight has been a pretty chill night. The Pilot was craving pizza, so he got takeout and I made something easy for myself at home.

It’s not the most visually appealing thing, but fantastic nutrients:

sp

Greens, Goddess dressing, 2 baked sweet potatoes, heated up turkey (tempeh would be a good option, too), goat gouda, garlic, salt, pepper and chives

So good :)

I baked a sweet potato for this little thing, too.

Shower and bed are calling my name.

See ya in the morning!

Today’s tip: Do your bangs get curly after a sweaty workout, too? My favorite way to keep this from happening is to pull them tightly to the side and put one bobby pin to hold them down against my head. I look like a total goober, but when I take the bobby pin out, the bangs are still straight.

Heads up: If you have your eye on an oGorgeous bag, too (or would like to pick up one for a holiday gift), Cassey is offering Fitnessista readers a 10% discount off entire orders by entering the code “FITNESSISTA” at checkout (good until December 22) + there is free shipping right now on all bag orders. If you’re a fitness professional, email Cassey  at cassey@ogorgeous.com for an even better deal.

Hey hey hey :D How’s your day going? Hope it’s been fabulous <3

I’ve been moving a little slowly today! After my adventure-filled weekend (exploring, ninja fighting ghosts, and feasting on Chicago food is no joke) and getting into V-town at 2am this morning, it’s been a little slo mo over here ;)

Something that helped wake me up:

glo bar

An Empower Glo Bar!

I haven’t had a Glo bar in forever, and when I saw one in my swag bag, I was so stoked to try them again. I usually prefer whole grain options for everyday stuff (these have white rice in them), but decided to roll with it. The verdict? LOVED this flavor. It was crunchy, chewy, slightly sweet and had a beautiful coffee aroma and flavor.

Some ya’ll asked to see my Lulu goods, so here’s the outfit that I picked up:

A cute red tank top – the fabric is SUPER soft!

and some black capris:

Not gonna lie, my debit card wept a little when I made this purchase, even though I get 15% off for being a fitness professional. I have SUCH a hard time dropping crazy dollas for workout clothes even though I use them multiple times a day. Expensive jeans? No problem. Expensive yoga pants? Notsomuch. I think it’s because I know how stanky and sweaty I’ll get wearing them. Usually, I get Nike Tempo shorts at Nike outlet, yoga pants at Victoria’s Secret and tops at TJ Maxx or Target. Who knows though, maybe I’ll be a Lulu convert??

Snackage:

bomb

Choc cherry bomb. Using FRESH cherries that I had to de-seed myself. That is love.

Some fun stuff came in the mail today!

Goji berries, courtesy of Sun Foods and my ZIN (Zumba Instructors Network) DVD and CD for this month. Teaching the Zumba class at HLS with Diana this past weekend made me even more excited to start teaching again in Orlando! :D

I’m off to train a client, then meeting the girls for dinner and Eat, Pray, Love. Has anyone seen it yet?!?

Enjoy the rest of your day <3

Upcoming: That cookie giveaway I told ya about! We’re getting everything finalized as I type this and I think you’ll love it :)

Something to read:

-The Lululemon manifesto –adore this. One of my faves: “The conscious brain can only hold one thought at a time. Choose a positive thought.”

-Ghost stories!!! Ok, so now that *mostly everyone* is out of the creepy weepy hotel the Summit was in (that I didn’t end up staying a single night at, haha), here are some of the links with info about the hotel:

Haunted Congress Hotel

Weird Chicago Tour

and tons more! Sabrina and I were Googling stories about the Congress Plaza when we left the hotel and were each snuggled in a Heavenly bed ;)
