Spring Wedding Dresses

February 20, 2018

We had some requests to share some spring dresses, specifically wedding guest dresses, so we rounded up some of our favorites- all mostly under $150, so they’re budget friendly, too!

*click each dress to shop*

{ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12| 13 | 14 | 15| 16 | 17 | 18 }

If you’re looking for something more spring-ish, we love all of the dresses in the top row. #1 comes in several colors (even darker colors, too) and can be worn to so many different occasions. We love the pale blue dress (#3)! Kind of reminds us of Tiffany’s.

We love the cut of #6. Such a great neckline and super flattering. It also comes in several color options!

If you’re a fan of ruffles, we love the neckline on #9 and the one shoulder look of #11.

Looking for a LBD? We have you covered! #13 is a great, basic lace option. #15 is a fun, one shoulder option. If you love fuller skirts, #16 is so adorable!

Alternatives To Going Out

February 16, 2018

It is finallyyyy the weekend! This week has felt so long for some reason, or just kind of felt “off”. Has that ever happened to you all? We are back today with a requested topic: what do if you don’t exactly love going out. We are probably a very small percentage of 20 somethings that don’t exactly like “going out”. Even in college, we would go out, but it wasn’t one of our favorite things to do. Of course, it can be hard when it seems like almost ALL of your friends and acquaintances enjoy doing that in his/her free time. We wanted to share some of our tips that we have used in the past (and still today) to deal with it. First off, we want to tell you all that we FULLY believe in sticking true to yourself and what you enjoy doing. It doesn’t matter if everyone else, except for you is doing that. It can be hard when you feel like you’re alone in that regard, and can be hard to not fall into peer-pressure (we have all been there).Some of our tips/alternatives for not going out are:

Meet people that have common interests with you, or have other hobbies besides going out
Get involved in other activities like volunteering, working out, etc.
Go out to brunch/dinner with friends (even if they are drinking or “partying”, you can still have a nice meal and have fun!)
Embrace going out once in a while (we still have fun sipping water!)

To be honest, we can both be a little reserved, but that isn’t really the reason that we don’t particularly enjoy going out. We are just more of a “chill” type of person, and enjoy going out to dinner or a movie, or just hanging in with friends or family.Now, about this outfit: These super cute suede clogs and pink clutch are from Sole Society. They are seriously our go-to for sandals and booties all-year-round. All of their stuff is a great price point (usually under $100!) We also love all of their bags and accessories. This striped tee is a great basic top for spring and is super cute layered under this cardigan.

9: Straw Clutch: Such a fun bag for getaways! Love the colorful tassel zipper. (side note: just realized it sold out, so this one is a similar option)

10: Marble Phone Case: There is something about marble that is so classic and chic. We definitely gravitate towards marble, and this case actually protects your phone!

11: Aviator Sunglasses: This style of sunglass shape is flattering on any face shape, and at $60, they are a great deal!

Double Dose Of Fitness .23 + Some Easy Breakfast Ideas

February 14, 2018

Healthy, make-ahead breakfast ideas | adoubledose.com

Happy Wednesday, y’all! We are FINALLYYY back with a fitness post. A lot of you girl had been requesting more fitness and recipe content, so we promise to share more. Today, we will be sharing another downloadable workout, and some easy breakfast ideas. If you all are looking for more fitness-related content, you can find a ton of workouts under the main page under the big drop down at the top right-hand side that says FITNESS POSTS, or you can just search ‘fitness’ on our blog!

In case you missed they last one, you can check it out in this post. Each day (workout) is split into a muscle group with rep amounts, set amounts, and weight amounts. We also are giving a few tips as well. This workout schedule is available for download for $10. It is exactly what we will be doing this week, and you could always re-use this plan for other weeks, and mix and match them. To download the workout schedule, click below:

Note: you will be taken to PayPal to pay, and then should receive a link to the download shortly after that in your inbox. If you do not receive it, please email us!:)

We get a lot of questions about what we like to eat for breakfast, and the answer is, it really depends on how busy our mornings are. We know, like most of y’all, mornings can be crazy and rushed, but breakfast is something we NEVER skip! We know it sounds cliche, but really, you should never skip it, and it really is one of the most important meals. Honestly, we think EVERY meal is important just because we loooove to eat, haha, but in all reality, if you skip breakfast, you will just be staaaarving at lunch, which leads to poor choices. We have all been there!

We suggest starting your day with some protein and carbs. It can be something like the following:

egg white or 1 egg + 2 whites omelette or scrambled eggs with some fruit or whole wheat toast/Ezekial bread
2-4 GG crackers with eggs (same as above) or with smoked salmon
Greek yogurt with Fiber One Cereal and berries
2-3 hard-boiled eggs with toast, GG crackers, or whole wheat wrap
Pancakes made with this recipe OR any high protein/lower carb recipe with berries on top
Protein shake (see our recipe in this post)
Protein Bar (we like these Quest Bars)

PS- we also shared some of our fave snack ideas in this post yesterday!

We also rounded up some easy make-ahead breakfasts for y’all below that look DELISH!

Our Favorite Snacks and Protein Bars

February 13, 2018

Our Favorite Healthy Snacks | adoubledose.com

We originally shared this post last year, but we wanted to share it again, and make some updates to it since we get a lot of questions about what our favorite snacks and protein bars are. We tend to love eating fruits, vegetables, lean proteins like eggs, chicken, steak, fish, etc, but we definitely like to snack on stuff and have a MAJOR sweet tooth!

You can also check out our tips on Eating out At Restaurants and Fast Food Hacks.

Here are our go-to snacks:We always go for something with protein and carbs together. The protein is super important because it keeps you full! We get our carbs from mostly fruits and vegetables, but also love toast, granola, etc.

As far as some of our favorite protein powders, we have a hard time with Whey protein powder most of the time, but here are some of our favorites:

We also LOVE these GG crackers for snacking. They have A TON of fiber in them and they are pretty good. They also come in a plain version and we found some topping ideas here!

We have also gotten a ton of questions about which protein bars are our favorite. We almost always go for Quest protein bars because they’re lower in carbs, high in protein, and high in fiber. We love them toasted in the oven for a few minutes because they get crispy on the outside. You can also put them in the microwave for 10-20 seconds.

Here are some other favorite snack ideas:

Although this isn’t really a “snack”, we both tend to eat this as a snack/meal any time of day. We will prep grilled chicken at the beginning of the week with veggies. We love roasted carrots and brussels sprouts!
This is also another snack/meal for us. This is a HUGE salad from Snappy Salads with grilled chicken.
We have this chocolate mug cake for dessert a lot of nights. It has a ton of protein in it and is super easy to make! Recipe HERE!
