GIXO WORKOUT APP REVIEW | LIVE FITNESS CLASSES AND ON-DEMAND CLASSES ON YOUR PHONE WITH PERSONAL TRAINERS!

December 3, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

It’s the beginning of a new week and the beginning of the last month of 2018! I say it every year, but it really does feel like the year flew by in a blink! As we approach 2019 a lot of us begin thinking about resolutions or goals we have for the new year, and for a lot of us that includes a new or improved fitness regimen. I have been using the Gixo App for the past few months and today I want to share my thoughts. I was given the opportunity to try the Gixo App for free for my consideration for review purposes, but this post is not sponsored. As always, I will never accept money in exchange for a positive review.

 

 

About Gixo 

The Gixo app offers live and on-demand group fitness classes you can take at home or on the go. Coaches work with you to keep you motivated and moving. You can choose to do on-demand classes whenever you’d like or find the time, or you can sign up for live classes up with a tap of your finger and workout live. Each class is led by a certified personal trainer and you can work out from anywhere! You can personalize the app to your own fitness needs and level.

How It Works

Once you’ve downloaded the Gixo App (for the Gixo App on Google Play click here)and created an account you can set up your profile and get started!

How Much Does It Cost?

It costs the same amount as about four trips to Starbucks a month ; ) It costs $19.99/month OR you can pay for an entire year at once for $179.99.

Peek At My App

   

 

My Thoughts

Before beginning Gixo I had been working out five days per week on my own at home and at one point with the help of an online personal trainer and fitness group, so the working out regularly was not new for me and I had previously used an App to track workouts, so I was excited to see what Gixo had to offer. I love that with some classes you have the option to turn on your location or camera so that the personal trainers can help you, but it isn’t required so if you’re like me feeling like a hot mess express some days? Totally fine you can do it without using the camera option. I do love the camera option though because only your trainer sees you, not the whole class, and they can help you make sure you’re doing the moves correctly. I like the live classes because the trainers are phenomenal in the app and keeping you motivated on the audio and chat features. The on-demand classes are super convenient and they have strength, running, HIIT, Yoga, Walking, Treadmill, Stretching, Bootcamp, Fitcamp and more so you really never get bored. You can view all of the Gixo Classes here. Gixo also offers fun events like a Turkey Trot or awesome philanthropy like a Breast Cancer Awareness walk. My favorite part about these workouts is that the trainers help me keep my timing so I don’t take too long of a break in-between sets or count too quickly and they have workouts as short as 15 minutes so I can squeeze in something even on my busiest day. *Note: I have even been known to do a workout in street clothes and no mat on extremely busy days, which of course I don’t recommend but sometimes some is better than none, right?! I still do workouts on my own but I love having the option to have someone else lead the way. After each class, you get an email summarizing that completed class AND a text from your Gixo Personal Trainer which is really awesome! Every trainer is super positive, kind, and fun. The workouts all play upbeat music, but I did want to note that while I love it I don’t think it’s always censored, and while that doesn’t bother me it may bother some and definitely wouldn’t be good for little ears. One thing I’d love to see added is a nutritional component or a way to use an App to track macronutrients or weight goals. Overall? So much value! I love it.

PHEW! That was a lot of info! If you’re like me and you need to try it before you buy it or at least get to play around on the App first, you can sign up for a 7 Day Trial!

What workout do you use? Do you need a new workout routine? If you need something that you can do on-the-go at home with real personal trainers to keep you motivated and that is more affordable than most gym memberships, definitely consider giving Gixo a try.

BEST AFFORDABLE LIP SCRUB | e.l.f Lip Exfoliator

November 28, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that your week has been fantastic so far! The cold weather is here in Michigan (snow on the ground, folks!) and for me that always means changing up my beauty and skincare routine to prevent dry skin and chapped lips. The e.l.f Lip Exfoliator is so good and so affordable that I just had to share it with you. Bonus points? It would be a welcomed addition into any gals stocking or perfect tied to the top of a gift.

 

 

 

 

About the  e.l.f Lip Exfoliator

This lip exfoliator exfoliates the lips to remove dry, chapped skin. This exfoliator contains vitamin E, shea butter, avocado oil, grape oil, and jojoba oil which help nourish and protect your lips. This exfoliator gives the lips a conditioned feel.

 

 

My Thoughts

One of my best friends, and someone who doesn’t hold back her opinion when we chat beauty reviews (seriously, I should share our iMessages, but I won’t!) gifted me this exfoliator and so I was expecting good things. Also, EmilyNoel83 the woman on YouTube who I trust above anyone else is a huge fan of this product, so before I even used it I knew it had to be good! When you first open this product it will feel like a super moisturizing lip balm until you get a couple swipes in and you feel the exfoliating sugar scrub. I love that I can swipe this on without dipping my fingers into a jar because that isn’t the most sanitary and often times I will skip the scrubs like that simply because I don’t want to get it all over my fingers or under my nails. I love this scrub so much and will be using it as a regular part of my skincare routine.

My Routine

I like to use this before I wash my face each morning by doing a few swipes of the e.l.f Lip Exfoliator in Coconut over my lips and then wiping off the excess with a damp washcloth or small piece of paper towel. I like to use this before my face cleanser because then if any of the scrub got onto the skin around my lips I can wash it off so it doesn’t irritate my skin. I have been using this every morning and if you’re a lipstick girl? This is a MUST HAVE item! I truly can’t believe this is a $3 product! I have lip scrubs that have cost more than five times that amount (!) and I don’t like them as well.

What is your favorite e.l.f product? Please let us know in the comments! Have a great weekend! xx

NADINE WEST REVIEW | AFFORDABLE MONTHLY STYLE BOX

November 21, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you’re as excited for a short week as I am!!  I have shared my outfits from Nadine West before on my blog (read the posts here) I have been wearing some items from my last several boxes a lot lately, so I was so excited to receive a new box in the mail from them.  Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own.

 

 

 

What is Nadine West?

NadineWest.com is a company that sends you an outfit to try on and you keep only what you love. The outfit is a surprise, but you take a style quiz and the stylists get to know your style more each month. The outfits are affordable with pieces costing about $10-$30 each, which is very affordable compared to other similar services.

How Does It Work?

On the Nadine West website, you take the style quiz so that the stylist can get to know what you are looking for in an outfit. You will receive a pink package in the mail with your personalized outfit. Try on the outfit and keep what you love and send back what you don’t.

My Thoughts

The style quiz was super easy to do, which was great because I wanted something that didn’t take too much time but I was still able to make notes to make sure the stylist knew my preferences. I really loved the surprise aspect of this, and it was like opening up a girly gift from a really stylish friend. I cannot stand having to return things, it is such a bummer, but I LOVE the way this company does it because your outfit comes with return shipping.

Discount Code

Use the referral code “Nadine” on NadineWest.com (not an affiliate code for me, just sharing the one they currently have on their website) to waive your shipping fee which means you’ll get your outfit in the mail without paying anything!

What Did I Get?

This month I received a tee shirt style dress with frayed ends, an orange/red shirt, a black open faced cotton cardigan shirt,  a pair of gray leggings with side details, a pair of purple leggings, a black fringe necklace, and a gold and black bracelet.

Did I Keep It?

Unfortunately, I didn’t like most of the items that I got this month. I do love the purple leggings because they are super cozy and will be great for lounging around or workouts, and the black open faced shirt is a great basic that goes with everything. The necklace is beautiful, and the bracelet is a great delicate piece, but I didn’t have a “wow” item that I loved this month.

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Most months I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box. I really loved this box and hope that I will continue to get neutral pieces that fit my style and delicate jewelry that works with my sense of style.

Have you tried any fashion boxes like this? Have you tried Nadine West? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving! xx

LOOK MORE AWAKE WITH EYE DROPS! WHITEN YOUR EYES WITH EYE DROPS

November 7, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you’re day is off to a fantastic start! Thank you for taking time out of your day to read my blog : ) One of the easiest ways to look prettier is by having the whites around your eyes white, you know as opposed to red and tired, and the longterm way to do that is by eating healthy and getting more sleep. Do you ever promise yourself you’ll go to bed earlier or that you’ll squeeze in a power nap but you never seem to make it happen? Me too, so today I want to share trick I use when I want to look more rested and more beautiful. *Note: You’re pretty just as you are, but who doesn’t look better when they look more awake?

You may already been familier with the trick of lining your lower waterline with a nude or white eyeliner to make your eyes look brighter, but to really change the appearance of the whites of your eyes the quicked fix is a redness relief eye drop.

My Routine

I don’t use redness eye drops daily, but I will grab them on days when I know that my eyes look tired or red, and they instantly make me look less like a walking mombie and more like a semi-awake human mom. Because I am not an optometrist I want you to read this to make sure that you’re doing what is medically sound for youself, but because these are an over-the-counter drop for redness I have no issue using them for their intended purpose on occasion. I love using this trick especially before having my picture taken or before I’m on video.

Have you tried this trick before? Let us know! Have a wonderful rest of your week! Don’t forget to subscribe for a new post on Monday: )

THE BEST AFFORDABLE OPEN-FRONT CARDIGAN | LESS THAN $20!!

October 22, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Another weekend gone in a blink! This week my calendar is filled with Halloween related activities with my Little Loves and Big Love which is so much fun, but also a reminder of how quickly this fall is flying by! Do you have any fun Halloween plans? Do you dress up? I am trying to decide if I will dress up this year, and those adult-sized onesie costumes are looking more and more appealing for my Netflix-and-Wine mom lifestyle.

I am a huge fan of adding layers to take clothes tossed on the body into an outfit, and one of my favorite ways to do this is by wearing open-front cardigans. I use “The Rule of Threes” which means that a shirt and pants is just that but if you add an amazing scarf, pair of shoes, or jacket it becomes an outfit. Well, this past week I was browsing greeting cards at the local Walmart and saw this Time and Tru Double Knit Cardigan that I MUST share with you!

 

I couldn’t believe how classic this cardigan looked and then when I went closer I couldn’t believe how high-quality the fabric looked and felt. It’s a cotton, acrylic, and polyester blend but it truly minics a sweater with some wool in it. The two-tone look of it elevates it in a way that makes it look more luxurious and high-end. It fits beautifully (I purchased a size small and it’s true-to size for me) with a slightly relaxed fit and a duster sweater length. I like that I can roll up the sleeves, push up the sleeves, or wear the sleeves at full length. This sweater cardigan can be machine washed on the wool/delicate cycle and can be tumble dried, though I will hang it to dry as I do with all of my sweaters. Also, it is $19.96! AMAZING!

I am BEYOND impressed with this and plan to grab it in gray, too!

Have you ever checked out the clothing at Walmart? I’ll be honest, I don’t often, but this beauty might make me take a peek from time to time! Have a wonderful week! xx

ROC DAILY RESURFACING DISKS REVIEW

October 8, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a fantastic weekend and are feeling ready to tackle the new week. As the weather changes, I love to have my first string skincare standbys ready to go because the weather can wreak havoc on my skin, and while it’s usually pretty forgiving of my testing out tons of different things (blogger probs), sometimes I make it angry when I try to do that during a season weather shift. I love sharing new or new-to-me products with you, but today I want to share something that’s been in my arsenal for months now but I’ve yet to shout-out in the form of a post.

 

 

About RoC Daily Resurfacing Pads

The pads are self-foaming, dual-textured disks that contain skin conditioners and are clinically shown to improve the appearance of skin in as little as one week, yet they’re gentle enough for everyday use. One side of the disk has a soft pad and the other side is exfoliating.

My Thoughts

I have raved about the RoC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream (read that post here) but when I first got these I wasn’t sure if I’d find a use for them since I already use a PMD (best tool!) for home exfoliating and microdermabrasion, and I have my go-to facial cleansers and makeup removers. However, I now use these pads and really see their benefit. They suds up incredibly well and they stay very saturated forever! I have read a lot of reviews where they say they cut the pads in half, which I haven’t done but it is totally genius! These pads are generous in size, and they last me for a very long time because I do not use them daily. I love that on evenings when I don’t make the time for a long skincare routine I still have a nice way to cleanse my skin and get a nice exfoliation. I do not use these daily, but I use them about two times each week and do feel that my skin looks noticeably less dull (especially in the winter months!) and my complexion looks very even. I use a lot of skincare, so it can be hard for me to give all the credit to any one product, but this is one that I’ve tested a lot and can say that it doesn’t irritate my skin, and it reliably cleanses, exfoliates, and improves the look of my skin.

My Routine

I do not use this as a makeup remover, but I can see how in a pinch it would work to use the soft side of the pad. I remover my makeup and then I add a bit of water to the pad and sub it together to get it to suds up. I then use the soft side of the pad by the delicate eye area and the exfoliation side on my neck, chin, jawline, cheeks, nose, and forehead. I do about one minute of exfoliating so that it can be effective. I then rinse my skin and pat it dry gently before continuing with my nightly skincare routine.

Do you use any cleansing cloths or cleansing pads? What are your favorite microdermabrasion or exfoliating products? I’d love to hear about them! Have a great Monday! xx

IS SMASHBOX PHOTO FINISH WORTH THE MONEY?

October 3, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

It is midweek! Yay! Congrats, you’ve made it ; ) I hope that you are having a great week, and that you have fun plans ahead for the weekend.

I have been simplifying my makeup lately, and when it came time to repurchase my “holy grail” primer (Benefit PoreFessional) I surprised myself and on a whim ordered the Smashbox Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Primer. I have used the SmashBox Photo Finish primers in the past, and Smashbox was my OG primer for a long time before the Benefit PoreFessional stole my heart. I didn’t go too crazy, I just ordered the sample size, but I have been loving it so much that I think it’ll stay in my rotation for a while.

 

 

About the Primer

A clear primer gel that smooths the look of fine lines, pores, and uneven texture so your makeup looks better and lasts.
The Smashbox Photo Finish Primer is lightweight and oil-free, so it glides on to give you a flawless finish, while antioxidants, vitamins A and E, and peptides help protect your skin from environmental pollutants, damage, and stress. This primer is formulated without parabens or phthalates.
Photo Finish The Original Smooth & Blur Primer was the first product developed at Smashbox’s creative L.A. photo studio. It’s been a makeup artist must-have for over 17 years and is still their number-one bestseller. This product is cruelty-free and free of sodium lauryl sulfates, fragrance, and talc. It is also vegan.

Why I Love It

I love this primer because it really does give my makeup the perfect canvas to work off of. I have combo/oily skin and as a woman in my early 30’s I suffer from blemishes occasionally, dullness, and fine lines are beginning to creep there way in too (how rude!) I often am in a hurry while applying my makeup, and this absorbs into the skin quickly so I don’t find that I have to wait long before applying foundation or concealer. This primer wears well under powder, liquid, or cream foundation products. I put my makeup on at about 5:30 or 6 a.m and often don’t remove it until late evening, so it really does help my makeup last through some LONG days. A little goes a long way, so while it isn’t a cheap product, I find that I just need a pea-size or even a little bit smaller amount each day.

My Routine

After completing my morning skincare routine I will apply this withm and then usually do my brows so that it can sink into the skin before I apply my foundation.

AFFORDABLE CHELSEA BOOTS | JUST FAB CLASSIC GIRL CHELSEA BOOT

October 1, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that your week is off to a phenomenal start! I am feeling energized this morning, and it feels so good to start the week off right (coffee in hand, of course). Energy level aside, it is chilly here this morning in Michigan, and now boot season is in full swing. I have been wanting a pair of Chelsea boots for a while now, and JustFab has the *perfect* pair right now that I knew I had to share with you.

 

What is a Chelsea Boot?

A Chelsea boot is an elastic-sided ankle heigh boot.

Just Fab Classic Girl Chelsea Boot Details

These boots are a faux leather with a 1.5 heel height. The Just Fab Classic Girl Chelsea Boot is also available in a black faux suede and a light taupe faux suede.

Why I LOVE Them

I love the black onyx faux leather because it has a little texture that I find makes faux leather look more expensive and more like real leather. I love that I can just slip these boots on, which is a lifesaver as I am running out the door in the mornings (Also for slipping my boots on and off 10 times because my Little Loves or I forgot something, let’s be real!). These boots are super comfortable and they go well with almost anything! I love these so much that I want to get them in the taupe color!! I love so many of the boots on JustFab right now and they always wear very well for me.

AFFORDABLE FLORAL TIES AND UNIQUE MENS SOCKS | AFFORDABLE MENS GIFT GUIDE

September 24, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! Now it is officially Fall (have you had a PSL yet? I think *then* it really feels like Fall!) and it’s a good time to start thinking holiday shopping. I know it seems early, but wouldn’t it feel great to have some of the men in your life already checked off your list? I found a brand this past summer that I have fallen in love with for mens ties and accessories, and I can’t wait to share them with you.

 

About DAZI 

DAZI (pronounced daw-zee) sells unique neckties, bow ties, tie bars, pocket squares, hats, and socks. After trying and failing to find great ties at an affordable price-point, DAZI founder Nate Ispen, began making his own skinny ties at affordable prices that allow every man to rock stylish ties, no matter his budget.  The mission of DAZI is to provide customers with a line ties that are fantastic quality and unique styles.

Why I Love DAZI

DAZI has 75 different patterns of neckties to choose from! For under $30 you can get a quality tie that is just as nice, if not nicer, than many ties that we have purchaed from fine department stores. They offer a precious tie for children, too. The floral bow ties are so chic, and I definitely want to grab one for my hubster this holiday season. I love pocket squares and tie clips because they complete the look (you know I am all about the styling rule of threes!) and my husband loves tie clips for their functionality. Their line of socks is unique in that my husband has rocked his DAZI socks with jeans and dressed them up with suits for work.  DAZI is bringing high fashion pieces to the masses that want to look on trend but don’t want to break the bank to do it.

Planning a Wedding?

One of my favorite parts of the DAZI website is that they have an affordable option for bridal parties! I love the idea of floral skinny ties, pocket squares, and a fun pop of a DAZI sock for a groom and his groomsmen.

IRIS Beauty Colored Contact Review | Corrective and Cosmetic

September 17, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you are having a great Monday so far! I hope you are having the least Monday-iest Monday ever ; ) Until a few days ago I had never worn a contact in my life and because I do not wear glasses I hadn’t considered wearing them. I knew that you could wear contacts that were nonprescription, but I have always liked my eye color and didn’t think it would be worth the hassle. I was contacted by IRIS Beauty and almost turned down the opportunity to try out some colored contacts for my consideration for review, but decided that I would risk jabbing myself in the eye to give you the low-down on the IRIS Beauty contacts (you’re welcome). Today I will share my thoughts on Iris Beauty Colored Contacts Cosmetic Lenses.

 

Natural Looking Colors

Composed of several layers, our unique patterned technology enables the lens to block the original color of the iris, giving you a completely fresh look. The safety of your eyes is preserved thanks to the printed layer of the lens being embedded inside two external non-printed layers. You can look for competitors but none have reached this phase of contact technology.

Corrective AND Cosmetic

All IRIS Beauty lenses are available with or without Rx. Iris Beauty lenses cover Myopia from -0.25 to -6. The lenses are also available in a cosmetic version (Plano). All Iris Beauty lenses have the same metrics: base curve 8,6mm & diameter 14,2mm. Iris Beauty lenses are safe to use for daily wear for 6 months after opening.

FDA Approved Quality

IRIS Beauty lenses are designed to provide all-day comfort and sharp vision. The color patterns of the lenses have specific metrics that preserve your sight and give a natural look. They’re made to exacting standards in the manufacturing partner’s state-of-the-art facility, which has been following ophthalmologist’s requirements for more than twenty years.

Made in the United States

All of the lenses are made in the USA by a family-owned business. They have worked for decades with US ophthalmologists selling private label contacts. Iris Beauty can offer you high-quality products that were previously only available from your ophthalmologist’s office.

My Thoughts

I am going to be straight with you (as always!)…at the first attempt I was like “Nope, nope, NOPE!” because if I don’t need to blink awkwardly, eyes watering, why would I?! But I actually LOVED the way these looked. I thought it would take me a really long time to get them in, but it actually only took a couple of tries. I totally watched a YouTube tutorial with a 12 year old sharing her tips, and to her credit, it helped. I don’t think these will ever become a staple in my beauty routine but I am now not against the idea of wearing them every once in a while for a great costume or makeup look. They are beautiful and I am sure I would get used to the feeling quickly. My eyes were not irritated at all after using them, though they did water a lot.  I will say that these were not uncomfortable once I got them in, and while I can’t speak to the corrective contact wearers out there I did look up the reviews and people with much more contact lens experience than I have seemed to enjoy these. I love that they’re an affordable price-point and are available online.

Shop

Be sure to use the code LEAH15 to save 15% off all of your products. I am interested in trying the magnetic lashes! The website has a lot of great information and beautiful lens options.

Have you tried colored contacts? Do you have a favorite contact brand or contact color? Do you wear glasses? Be sure to drop a comment to let us know! Have a fantastic week, babe! xx
