Friday Faves + Pro Compression leggings giveaway

Happy Friday! What do you have going on this weekend? Any fun fitness adventures or races?

Locks

Here are some faves from the week and around the web:

Henna tattoo. I’m kind of obsessed with my henna tattoo from the Yoga Journal conference. It’s exactly the type of real tattoo, in the same spot, that I’ve been wanting for years.

I told the Pilot, “They have real tattoo ink that looks just like henna!”

His response, “You know what else looks just like henna? Henna.”

Henna

Wahhhhhh.

 

Cherries

Organic cherries.

 

Bobeau

Bo-Beau Kitchen. In Tucson, we had a spot that we went to all the time: The Abbey. It was “our place” and we love the food (Modern comfort American food and the best cheese boards) and atmosphere. We walked into Bo-Beau and knew immediately that we had found our new place. You can check out pics of the incredible decor and scope out the menu on the website, but we were both blown away. We shared a flatbread (goat cheese with beet and jalapeño), I ordered the scallops (the Pilot had steak), a wine flight, and shared the Ménage à Trois dessert(peanut brittle, chocolate, chery cheesecake and mint chocolate mousse). I’m pretty sure I was bopping my head to the live accordion music with the biggest creeper foodgasm smile on my face. 

The Tory Burch for FitBit bracelet. I’m dyyyyying. 

The hope that all of my impromptu Broadway musical singing will indexed come in handy.

Canyon Ranch Inspiration Awards, in partnership with Health Magazine. Canyon Ranch is providing these awards as their way of honoring everyday men and women who inspire others through their actions or efforts to live, work, play or love better. 70 people will win a 4-day trip to the Tucson or Lenox property, as well as $670 in spa credit.

Because I’m tacky.

Rocking Birkenstocks again. If I’m going to wear unattractive shoes, might as well get them in bright pink 😉 SO comfy. 

Birks

Pro compression leggings! (Discount alert: use the code “FITLEGS” to get 30% off the leggings or anything + FREE SHIPPING on the site. For the leggings, go one size up.) They sent me a pair to try out, and I especially appreciate the thick (aka not see-through), luxe fabric and flattering waistband. I’m really picky about leggings, especially since I wear them so often, and these are my new favorite pair. 

Pro compression  1 of 1

You can switch up the style and length with the reversible cuff:

Pro compression  1 of 1 2

There is also an internal pocket (where I stash my car key and Gu) and the pants are moisture-wicking. I wore them to spin class and they felt awesome the entire time.

Pro compression offered to give away a pair of leggings to a lucky reader; just enter via the widget below. This giveaway will end Sunday night at midnight, and the lucky winner will be announced Monday am. 

Ready, set, go!

    The leggings look great! Have you ever tried Birkenstock’s Papillon line? They are the same thing, but sooooo much more attractive. My husband had been trying to get me to buy a pair for years, but never did since they were so ugly. I found this line about 2 years ago and now I’m hooked. Comfy shoe and lots of compliments.

  2. Hannah on July 18, 2014 at 12:14 pm

    Love the leggings! And love your blog as well!

  3. Allison D. on July 18, 2014 at 12:27 pm

    Love the leggings.

  4. Shari on July 18, 2014 at 12:33 pm

    I love the leggings, I’m always looking for comfortable, non-see through leggings.

  5. Jessica F on July 18, 2014 at 12:34 pm

    Great leggings! I love the style and am wondering how the fit feels compared to lululemon

  6. Hayley on July 18, 2014 at 12:36 pm

    I always used to wear wide gym pants…I’m a skinny legging convert!

  7. Debbie on July 18, 2014 at 12:38 pm

    Love those leggings. I’ve been contemplating buying some for awhile now…

  8. Megan @ The Skinny-Life on July 18, 2014 at 12:39 pm

    Love Pro compression! I could use those leggings too to help with my calf strain.

  9. Kim on July 18, 2014 at 12:42 pm

    Those cherries look so yummy…I go a little crazy eating cherries this time of year!

  10. Melissa on July 18, 2014 at 12:43 pm

    I love Pro Compression socks and would love to try the leggings. I’m also super picky about my gear–when I see people wearing “see through” leggings I often wonder if they know…

  11. Jessica on July 18, 2014 at 12:43 pm

    Hey Gina- you said go one size up- do you mean go one size up in what size you are in workout clothes? For example- I’m a size 8 in lulu wunder under- would you advise I go up to a 10 in these?

    • Fitnessista on July 18, 2014 at 1:01 pm

      No I would order your lulu size 🙂 you will love them!

  12. Sara on July 18, 2014 at 12:44 pm

    I love that you can change the length of those leggings! I am so short that most “crops” are full length on my legs:)

  13. Anne on July 18, 2014 at 12:45 pm

    Leggings!!!! Those would be a great addition to my half training this summer.

  14. Sheena Melton on July 18, 2014 at 12:45 pm

    Those leggings are super cute, i love them!

  15. Alicia on July 18, 2014 at 12:45 pm

    Those leggings are super cute & I love that you can just cuff them if you want them shorter! I haven’t tried Bo Beau yet, but I’ve pretty much never been disappointed with any Cohn group restaurant…we go to 100 Wines in Hillcrest quite a bit 🙂

  16. Jenna O on July 18, 2014 at 12:49 pm

    Those leggings look so good! I´d love them.

  25. Sammy on July 18, 2014 at 1:09 pm

  26. Meagan Devereux on July 18, 2014 at 1:15 pm

    Those leggings are great and birkenstocks are pretty unattractive but oh so comfy! 🙂

  27. Polly @ Tasty Food Project on July 18, 2014 at 1:18 pm

    I love a great comfy pair of leggings! Have a wonderful weekend!

  28. zosia on July 18, 2014 at 1:19 pm

    Thanks for the legging giveaway!

  29. Bethany on July 18, 2014 at 1:20 pm

    True Story: I had a tattoo in henna colored ink on top of my foot in a cute little design that I loved but no one ever believed it was real. And it kind of faded pretty fast, but I think that was mostly because of where it was. Anyways, now I have a lovely hibiscus flower tattooed over that spot in black ink. Love it.

  30. Kristina E. on July 18, 2014 at 1:21 pm

    I am DYING to try these! I love Pro Compression socks so I know I’ll love their leggings. 🙂

  31. Lisa on July 18, 2014 at 1:22 pm

    Thanks for all these awesome giveaways!!!

  32. Caroline on July 18, 2014 at 1:24 pm

    I am doing the Zumba step training on Sunday! So excited!!!

  33. Mollie K on July 18, 2014 at 1:27 pm

    I love how the underneath of the leggings have a different pattern-too cute. And I think birkenstocks rock 🙂

  34. Danielle on July 18, 2014 at 1:28 pm
  35. Danielle on July 18, 2014 at 1:30 pm

    DYING for these sweet leggings to go do pilates in!!!

  36. Kelsey on July 18, 2014 at 1:33 pm

    I recently bought a pair of comfortable but kind of ugly sandals myself and got them in bright red!

  37. beckie on July 18, 2014 at 1:34 pm

    Nothing like a great pair of leggings to motivate yourself to work out even harder!

  38. Tracy on July 18, 2014 at 1:36 pm

    I actually think Birks are really cute! Especially your pink ones! I just bought a new pair of boring taupe…womp…womp! I wish I would have picked pink. So cute 🙂

  39. Elyse Godemann on July 18, 2014 at 1:39 pm

    That is really cute that you can roll them up.

  40. Domi @ Eat, Pray, Lift on July 18, 2014 at 1:39 pm

    Those leggings look great! I’d love to give them a shot.

    Also, the Canyon Ranch Inspiration Awards are amazing! The mother of one of my good friends has lost close to 100 lbs over the past year, and even though she often asks me about her fitness questions, she’s the one who inspires me! Such a brave a determined woman (and mama to 7 kids, which I can’t imagine!)…going to nominate her today. 🙂 Thanks for letting us know about that!

  41. Katie O on July 18, 2014 at 1:40 pm

    I love love love your henna art! And thank you for the post on the yoga journal conference. Now I really want to attend one!

  42. katie on July 18, 2014 at 1:40 pm

    am loving cherries right now too! gotta make the most of them while they’re in season. I’m in the midst of marathon training and would love to try a pair of these leggings!

  43. Brittany M on July 18, 2014 at 1:42 pm

    I love those leggings! I have been looking for a new pair. I only have one pair that I love so I usually end up wearing those more often. I’m always afraid to spend the money getting them online because I’m afraid I won’t love them.

  44. Katie Hampton on July 18, 2014 at 1:46 pm

    Love these leggings! I’ve been needing some and these look adorable!

  45. Rachel on July 18, 2014 at 1:51 pm

    I am picky about leggings too! Would love to win these babies!!!

  46. Melissa on July 18, 2014 at 1:52 pm

    Really cute and love the reversible part!

  47. Elena on July 18, 2014 at 1:53 pm

    I would love to try these leggins-in fact i don’t have any at the moment….

  48. lin on July 18, 2014 at 1:54 pm

  49. Angela on July 18, 2014 at 1:56 pm
