Maternity Support + Giveaway

admin — Wed, 29 Mar 2017 11:00:15 +0000

I had to dedicate an entire post to BLANQI for the simple fact that they made my last trimester bearable in the most fashionable way possible. Maternity support is so important and a game changer as you transition from trimester to trimester. It’s crazy how drastically different each trimester can be. The first trimester I was hush hush about my bundle of joy, wearing loose fitting clothing and sneaking crackers and ginger ale at work as snacks to keep the nausea down. Second trimester was a breeze for the most part other than heartburn. I was still working out, and had fun playing dress up as my belly grew. However, as soon as my Third Trimester hit, I’ve been dealing with THE worst heart burn causing me to throw up almost every evening. I feel just huge and extremely uncomfortable at all times. With the constant kicks to the ribs, sore back, lack of sleep, leg cramps and achy feet, I’m pretty excited to be done with the belly and finally get to meet baby girl. She is however worth every complaint, so don’t get it twisted! I just wish I had discovered BLANQI earlier on in my pregnancy to help. They are […]

On The Go With Topo

When it comes to creating a healthy workout routine, sporting the right footwear is just as important as actually setting foot in the gym in the first place. But picking the right pair for you and the activity you are using them for is easier said than done. There are shoes for just about every sport out there but which one is right for you and if you travel as much as we do, is there a shoe that can do it all while being easy to pack? The answer is YES!! Being fitness bloggers, we have tried on our fair share of fitness clothing and shoes and let us tell you, not all fitness gear is created equal. Either it looks cute and instantly falls apart when you use it or looks awful and fits like a dream. Call us high maintenance but we want functional fitness gear that actually looks good too! After much searching for versatile athletic shoes, we found pretty much everything we were looking for in Topo Athletic’s new ST-2 shoe. As you all know from our past posts, we have been Topo Athletic fans for a while now. So when we heard that they were dropping a new shoe, […]

From the Farmer’s Dish and Giveaway

Signing up for our weekly delivery from From the Farmer has been such an amazing experience. Of course it’s so nice to have fresh, local food sent directly to our door step, but it’s also a huge time saver during our busy work week. No more rushing in and out of the grocery store for fresh fruit and veggies. I always forget my shopping list when I go anyway. One of the challenges can be deciding what new creation to make with all the delicious goodies at hand. This week our box contained mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, spinach and kale. My first thought was to make one of my favorite dishes… pasta. I’ve blogged about this before too (you can click here for that recipe), but it’s fun to find new ways to eat it! We used these fresh ingredients to make a chunky sauce to top those scrumptious noodles. Handful of mushrooms, 4 large tomatoes, 1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic, handful of spinach, handful of kale This really isn’t rocket science. We chopped up the above ingredients. Boiled the noodles and then added the kale towards the end. This helped prevent us from over cooking the kale and losing its nutrients […]
