We don’t know about y’all, but we are ALL about the comfy sweat life. What is better than being cozied up in your comfy sweats?! When joggers came out, we were initially not that into it just because we are super petite (5’1″), so it is hard to not get swallowed up in a pair of sweatpants or joggers. Even if you find a pair, it is so hard to style them without looking (or feeling) frumpy! We wanted to share some ways to style them: dressed up or more casual.
Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend and Sunday super-bowling! It is almost spring time, so we are rounding up some of our favorite spring shoes. We just love this time of year, so we are SO excited! There are seriously soooo many cute shoes it is so hard to decide!
Can we talk about all of these?! How can you just pick one? We want to highlight a few of these that will be a great addition to your closet for spring and summer!
Happy February! Can’t believe how fast January flew by! So crazy. We are back with our monthly posts where we share all of our favorite blog post from the past month + our favorite pieces rated by y’all! We want to highlight each of these pieces and why we love them so much (and probably why y’all do, too! 😉 )
This dress (#1) is AMAZING. We have it in the tank version, too. Let us tell you: most flattering (and comfy) dress you’ll own! You can wear it with booties or heels, slip on sneakers, or OTK boots right now. You can pair it with a moto jacket, a scarf, or a vest, and you’re good to go!
These heathered leggings (#2) are like butter. We have them in the cropped version, too. They are seriously so soft, and they’re high waisted, if you’re into that!
Y’all already know that we are majorly into faux leather leggings (#3). This pair is more cropped, so it’s perfect for shorties like us!
These satin camo joggers (#4) are a dream! Not only are they soft, but they’re CAMO! YES! And, they come in petite sizes, too!
These espadrille wedges (#7) are one of the best spring shoes you can buy. We have them in the tan and black, but this blush color is so adorable and perfect for spring! It totally acts a as neutral, too!
We get asked all of the time what our fave curling iron is, and it is definitely this one (#8). It also comes in a version that has interchangeable wands and barrels!
Another repeated item is this suede moto jacket (#10). This is another piece you can wear over and over and it goes with everything!
We know spring is on everyone’s mind, but this white cozy vest (#11) is lightweight enough to wear into spring! We love it with leggings or jeans!
A neutral cardigan (#12) is the perfect spring layering piece, and this one is on SALE! It comes in a bunch of other colors, but we love the tan and grey!
And, now, in case you’ve missed any of our January blog posts, we rounded them all up for you below:
We usually have a packed schedule pretty much every day, and we know that we are not alone in that regard! We usually like to work out at the beginning of our day so that way we get it out of the way, and can carry on with our other tasks like meetings, errands, time with friends, etc. Since our days are so packed, and everything is usually scheduled pretty close together, it doesn’t leave us room to go home, shower, get ready, and change outfits after our morning workouts.Of course, we don’t want to be all smelly and sweaty throughout our entire day, especially if we are seeing friends or having a meeting, so we are so excited that we found Downy Fresh Protect In-Wash Odor Shield Beads – it’s like deodorant for your clothes with 24-hour odor protection, and works better the more we move! Detergent alone doesn’t actually protect your clothes from odors all day, like Downy Fresh Protect does.
We put the beads to the test; we dropped a capful directly into the drum at the same time as our detergent (no need to wait for the rinse cycle!) when we washed our clothes before heading to our workout class. We layered our basics (sports bra and leggings) with some sweaters and jackets that we could wear straight from our workout class to shopping and dinner out. We packed some heels to swap out for our sneakers for any easy outfit update, and we also packed some dry shampoo and a foundation compact for touch ups to make sure our makeup and hair look good all day long.We absolutely LOVE using Downy Fresh Protect, and here’s why: we are able to go straight from our workout class to run errands/go shopping, and head to dinner, all without wasting time showering and changing. Did we get sweaty? Oh yeah! But, our clothes didn’t smell like it!

Happy Tuesday! Hope you all had a great weekend. We had the most gorgeous weather this weekend, so we took full advantage and got to be outside a good amount. Hope you all are as ready for spring as we are!;) Speaking of nice weather, it is starting to get nicer out, so that means we are going to try and get outside more for some runs. We got more into running last year, and it can be so refreshing! We wanted to share some of our running essentials with you all because we get asked a lot of questions about what our favorites are.
To start with, having a good pair of earphones is KEY. We cannot run without music or something to listen to. These earphones are wireless, so they connect via bluetooth. These actually stay in your ears! We also just got these Apple AirPods and love them, too. These stay in, too and when you pull them out, the music stops.Another essential is a fitness tracker. We both have an Apple watch. One of us has the Series 1, and one of us has the Series 2. They both are great watches. Samantha also has this Garmin watch, and it has a GPS and is great for running. When we are headed out on a run, we like to layer up, and take off layers as we get warmer outside. A good quarter-zip jacket is a great piece because it is light enough that you won’t be super hot, but it keeps you warm. This one is a great material, too! As far shoes, we get asked a lot about what our favorite running shoe is. We have these Mizuno shoes and swear by them. They are very supportive and comfortable for long and short runs. We also recommend getting insoles for them.
We also recommend a highly supportive sports bra to keep your girls tucked in, and not bouncing everywhere, haha. This one is a great bra!We both usually run in sunglasses like this classic pair, or we will wear a baseball cap to keep the sun out of our eyes. We usually like a basic black legging crop, but we also wanted to share some of our fave leggings below:
You can find so many great fitness pieces at eBay. What we love about it is that it is a one-stop-shop to find the latest trends and brands. A lot of pieces actually ship for free and are actually new, and not used! If you’re not really into bidding for items, there are a ton of items that are “Buy It Now”, which is more up our alley! We also love that they offer quick shipping on a lot of items that ship in less than three days, yes please!
Hope you all are having a great weekend so far. We both went out to dinner with our boyfriends last night (See more on our snapchat + insta-stories)!

Today, we are sharing some outfit ideas whether you’re getting more dressed up, or keeping it casual, we have you covered!
