Fitness Tuesday – Fitness at your desk

October 4, 2016

Now, I know I am fortunate enough that I can sit on my couch and be able to write my blog posts, but I know what it feels like to have to sit at a desk all day feeling like you aren’t getting your workout in for the day. I have seen all the different ideas from the standing desk with the treadmills attached, to sitting on the big bouncy balls, but sometimes you don’t have the space for those things. This got my brother and I thinking about our mom. We wanted to get something one year for her to use in her office, that was small enough that it wouldn’t take up so much room for her. This under desk foot pedal from amazon is a great alternative to all of these big bulky items. It allows you to still have a little work out while you are sitting at your desk. Since my brother and I got this for my mom, I have seen and heard of so many other people that have gotten this for themselves to have at work. Especially with winter approaching, we may not have the energy to trek to the gym with it being so cold out, but this gives you no excuse. This is a great alternative to not working out at all and keeping your blood flow moving. It may not be the same as attending a 45 minute workout class, but it will keep you energized throughout your entire day at work. Check out Amazon for some great options for under the desk pedals. There are a few that are pretty pricey, but just look at the reviews and see what others are saying about them before buying. I hope you all are loving the fitness tuesday posts and that they have inspired you to hit the gym!

Even though it is almost October it is still nice enough outside to go to the park.I try to go every other week with Stella because, let’s be honest, she loves the park. When she went to Central Park the first time she was so excited she couldn’t stop running around the big open spaces. She didn’t even want to stop for a treat! When a dog refuses a treat that is when you truly know that they are having a good time. I always hate having to pack a bag though for the park because I always feel like I am forgetting something. One of the things that I recently found on Amazon is this foldable picnic blanket. It is honestly one of the best purchases I have made this summer. It feels like a fleece material so it is thick and is big enough to fit about 6 – 8 people on it comfortably! And when you are done with the blanket it folds right back up and even comes with a trusty little handle on it. Remember the park is dirty so you should also make sure that when looking for these foldable blankets online that they are ones that can be machine washed to ensure that you aren’t bringing any bugs into your home. Check out Amazon today for some other great foldable picnic blankets in all sizes!

Steals & Deals: Penguin Necklace

May 20, 2016

It’s Friday, so you know what that means? Steals & Deals day!! Every guy knows it’s hard to shop for their girlfriends, especially when it comes to buying jewelry. My boyfriend seemed to have landed the jackpot every single time he has purchased me a gift. He is the type of guy that enjoys experiences more as gifts than an actual physical gift, but knows that you should have something to remember the experience by. For my first birthday we celebrated together, he got me a beautiful black and white diamond penguin necklace and a one-on-one time with a Penguin at a zoo out in Long Island. Something you should know about me is that I am obsessed with penguins because they are just so cute and if I could be like Mr. Popper in Mr. Popper’s penguins I would own my own. This necklace was so beautiful, but I of course didn’t want him spending so much on me. I found out he got it from Amazon in their fine jewelry department and to make things even better it was a steal! It was under $100 and every single person who has seen it thinks it is way more than that. If you are looking for a great gift for your significant other this is where you should go. Anyone out there for your significant others if you don’t want to spend too much head on over to Amazon. They have a great selection of diamond, sterling silver, gold, rose gold etc. jewelry pieces from a range of prices to choose from. I was surprised at the vast selection of items they had on their site. I thought they would have a majority of just a specific type of jewelry like mainly necklaces, but to my surprise they had a lot of everything. Also another perk is that the majority of their items are available via prime so if you are prime member and want to get something last minute you can easily do that. Keep your eye out for Amazon because they are changing the game when it comes to buying jewelry online. If you are like me and love penguins you should 100% purchase this necklace. Hope you enjoyed my steals & deals for the day! Have a great weekend everyone <3

Ripped Jeans + Tights

March 24, 2016

Ripped jeans while it is cold out? That used to be a major no-no for me because if it’s cold out you want to stay as warm as possible. However, there is a way to wear ripped jeans in the cold too! This season I have been wearing my ripped 7 for all mankind denim jeans with tights underneath them and it has been life changing! I sometimes would wear tights underneath my jeans in general just to keep me warm, but there are only so many times you can wear jeans out during winter when you just want to wear a great pair of ripped jeans. These 7 for all mankind jeans, I purchased in the fall of 2012 and they still look great! When it comes to jeans I always seem to go back to a few brands and 7 is one of them. They are such great quality that I have even had a pair since I was in high school that I still wear today! Crazy to think that a pair of jeans from High School still fit me, but I kid you not they fit and look great. The tights I am wearing have a little something that many tights I have seen have: they have socks attached to them! Yes you read that correctly, they have socks attached to them and they are the best pair of tights I have ever owned! Depending on how thick you normally wear your socks with your boots you may need to add an additional thin sock when wearing your boots, but for me the sock that is attached to the tights is enough. They come in a multitude of shades and styles and are even available on Amazon! So if you were thinking that you can’t wear those ripped jeans just yet, well…problem solved!
