5 things I’ve Been Loving Lately

1. It’s a HIIT!

Or “high intensity interval training.” It’s a full-body workout where you do all sorts of things, like throwing 10-pound medicine balls around (which I did yesterday), old-school burpies, squats and other interval exercises, and there’s always something different thrown in to keep your muscles guessing.

Anyway, I just started taking classes at a studio down the block, and oh, my lanta! — to live in a constant state of soreness… but it’s a good sore, ya know?

One of my neighbors is an instructor and a personal trainer, and the studio is in her garage, so I just walk down there for an hour of sweet, sweaty torture.

There’s a woman in the class in her 50s who I vow needs to be my BFF. She comes dressed in black from head to toe with her hair in a best high bun, and she works out wearing a full face of makeup. and she likes to make naughty jokes. Oh, and homegirl goes HAWD when she planks, whereas I just end up laying there sadly on the floor ready to pass out.

2. champion sports bras

On that note, these champion double dry sports Bras are the sh*t. They’re soft, comfortable and keep me dry when I’m sweating up a storm. Plus, they never chafe or irritate my skin. When I work out, I layer two of them to keep “the girls” firmly in place.

They’re normally $25 each, but they’re on sale for $19.99-$21.99 ideal now at Kohls.

3. L’Oreal root conceal momentary gray Concealer Spray

I picked up a bottle of $11 L’Oreal root conceal momentary gray Concealer Spray in Dark brown a couple months ago at le drugstore to cover my roots because I was running low on my fave Rita Hazan root Concealer and couldn’t make it to Sephora before it closed (#beautygirlproblems), and yay! – Jeg kan lide det. It gets the job done, and it costs half as much as the Rita Hazan spray, which is still my number one, though, because I think it does work a little better (it’s a lot more pigmented and doesn’t leave my hair as stiff as the L’Oreal one does).

4. My crockpot

Soup is good food!
Otherwise known as the best thing EVER. OMG! You just throw a bunch of stuff in a pot, turn it on, then have a yummy dinner 5-8 hours later.

I made chicken tortilla soup in it the other day, and it was ???.

Do you have any good crockpot recipes? HOOK A HOMEGIRL UP.

5. saving email and social media for the afternoon

So I’ve been doing this for the past two weeks, and it has absolutely helped my focus and get a lot more stuff done, especially in the mornings.

I do all of my writing first thing in the morning when I’m mentally fresh, and only after I’m made with it do I check email, Instagram, etc.

It really helps me stay on task.

5 things I’ve Been Loving Lately

1. Bold-ish brows

OK, after months of using a chill, very unwinded brow look (and in some cases just skipping brow products entirely!), I’m back in the practice of doing a full brow again, as well as I had one of those “Why did I ever stop doing this?” moments.

When I put a bit effort into my brows — prolonging the tail on my best brow as well as filling out the skinny areas (I’m speaking to you, Raul!) — it’s type of fantastic, as well as I feel like I can get away with less makeup.

Remember when Jeremy Renner stated “Brows, Lashes, lips frame the face”? He truly was the makeup prophet of our times…

By the way, I’ve been into an old-school UD product as of late, their Brow Beater pencil in Neutral Brown.

SÅ. GODT.

It’s the one with a twist-up pencil on one side as well as a brow clean on the other. It’s harder than numerous pencils, as well as it stays put (the softer ones seem to vanish faster). It likewise looks natural since it has a ideal balance of pigment.

Good brow day! I’m using metropolitan Decay Brow Beater Pencil in Neutral Brown.
2. chocolate sprinkles on toast

Thank you for educating me about Dutch hagelslag, otherwise understood as “chocolate sprinkles on buttered toast,” otherwise understood as “a delightful breakfast treat!” I purchased a box of chocolate sprinkles at world Market a while back since the photo on the box was just so weird, as well as curiosity got the very best of me.

Thanks to you, I now understand that the trick to making this work is to lightly toast your bread, then butter it (Kerrygold salted butter is THE WAY), as well as then douse that mo-fo with all the chocolate sprinkles as well as then some.

Sounds as well as looks a bit weird, however it’s truly good.

Um…as you can see, somebody couldn’t wait, LOL!
3. name Bubbles

The Coywolf started her last year of in-person preschool last week (we’re a bit nervous, however yeah), as well as every product she brings with her to institution needs a label. I discovered these truly adorable ones from name Bubbles. shipping was fast, as well as the labels don’t come off in the wash.

Coycoy desired whales since she’s been into animals lately…

These are handy!
4. Drooling over autumn doorway decor…

What is it about autumn door decor?! I have no rate of interest in spring or summertime entryways, however autumn as well as winter? I’m like, dang! — put UP ALL THE CRAP.

5. This Hawaiian-style poultry as well as coconut rice plate

OMG, this dinner. I made this a few weeks ago, as well as the household raved about it, so now it’s in our regular rotation. It’s Hawaiian poultry (made it in my immediate Pot), coconut rice, Hawaiian-style mac salad (I practically composed “MAC salad”) as well as Thai-inspired cucumber carrot salad. It’s got Oriental flavors of pineapple, soy sauce (I utilized gluten-free Tamari since El Hub has Celiac) as well as coconut. excellent blend of wonderful as well as savory.
