FeelFitWear Review

RED HOT PANTS I THINK…...YES!!!!


I love my new red hot pants form FeelFitWear, a women's active wear clothing line!  Totally needed some new workout bottoms after baby boy was born.  The pants had to do a lot of work to make me look good having just had a baby, and they succeeded. I felt trendy and comfortable going back into the gym and surprisingly thought I looked good, and trust me it was all in the pants. 

If you follow my Instagram or Facebook you saw my post about the sweat stains.....I didn't have any. Usually I would wear black to hide such a thing. So during my first wear I felt so sweaty and thought I bet I have butt crack sweat showing. Went to the bathroom to inspect and to my surprise there were no sweat marks showing, although I was a sweaty mess.   

Around 10 weeks postpartum I started a five day gym training plan, so I was in the gym 5 days a week. Most women postpartum have about 5 articles of clothing they feel comfortable wearing and these pants were one!  So lots of wearing and washing and they still look new, feel new, and feel great! 

The color hasn't faded and the fabric still soft!

I've lost a few pounds and the pants still fit, stretchy pants are cool like that. If I get smaller (meaning firmer) I will most definitely buy another pair!  Wonder if I can talk them into more colors?

FitNix Favorite Things 1 Year Celebration

FitNix is 1 year!!  How cool is that!!

Its hard to believe that a year ago there was no FitNix Facebook page, no Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest either.  Last year a special friend of mine pushed me to finally get started and FitNix was created.  At the very same time I was several weeks into my pregnancy with TJ, still keeping it quiet.  Starting a fitness page during pregnancy offered challenges but gave special insight as well.  

Now a year later my baby boy is here and there are almost 4,000 FitNix friends and I love you all!! Through the year you have helped motivate and encourage me, given me insight and inspiration! All the things I was creating this page to do for you! 

 So this month we are going to celebrate and I have lots of giveaways planned through out the month.  What better things to give to you than my FAVORITE THINGS that I wouldn't want to live without.   If its a favorite of mine perhaps it could be a favorite of yours so make sure to enter!

My newest obsession is my lifting gloves from G-Loves.  So feminine, pretty, and functional! They are giving away one of their newest pair called Kokomo, the neon's are all the rage!! Check out their website G-Loves to find your perfect match!

I love my motivational workout tanks from my favorite Air Force business woman at Nutrition Snob Clothing. She is giving away the FitNix inspired tank Iron Princess. Check out her store for so many more slogans and styles, she really has them all! Her off the shoulder sweat shirts are a fav of mine also!

My all time favorite protein bar for the past three years is easily the Quest Protein Bars. Great taste without the junk and so many flavors.  My new favorite flavor is the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and the White Chocolate Raspberry! Quest is giving away a variety box from the naturals line, peanut butter cup cravings, and their latest edition the Quest Pastabilities!
Quest is being super awesome and there will be two winners for this giveaway!

FASHION!!  The trends are so fun to keep up with but I seriously don't have the time to shop for all my favorites.  The online clothing boutique Under The Eiffel Boutique  makes it so easy for me.  I liked their Facebook page last summer and I could hardly stand being pregnant and seeing all their fabulous outfits I couldn't wear just yet.  They post all the fabulousness and if you like what you see just comment with your email and they will invoice you.  My first order came two days later.  So easy, so trendy, and so fun!! They are giving away a $25 store credit to use toward your first purchase.

Another favorite, my fitness jewelry charms from Fashletics jewelry, so many motivational charms to choose from. My first charms were the 45lb plate, LIFT, and I Choose Strength Charms.  Recently I have my eye on the I know what I will become charm. Fashletics is giving away the dumbbell charm and I CHOOSE STRENGTH charm for one lucky winner.
  

Next up is some of my favorite people, Busy Mom Gets Fit, Sisters in Shape, Cave Princess, and Dani Get Ur Gunz are each giving away a tank.  I love wearing the tanks of some of my favorite people and pages to the gym and now you can to!!!

And last but certainly not least is my most favorite online nutrition supplement provider Foundation Nutrition. They have all your favorite brands and products paired with extreme amounts of knowledge to help you supplement your training to the max!

A Fit Girl’s Top Fashion Tips

A Fit Girl’s Top Fashion Tips

Two things that I love so much are Fitness & Fashion.  So why not marry the two?  There are so many ways to be fit AND fabulous and ANYONE can do it.  I was never a sporty girl growing up.  I was always playing with barbies, painting my nails, doing something new to my hair, shopping for the latest trends, etc.  So when I discovered my love for fitness, I realized that it was OK for me to sweat (and still look fabulous).  Now, don't get me wrong, there are days when I literally roll out of bed and head straight to the gym with just barely brushing my teeth.  Ha!  But for the most part, I try to look somewhat presentable when going to the gym.  Why?  Because, as a trainer, I am in gym clothes %90 of the time and as a mom, I'm constantly running around and don't have time to put on my favorite outfit when heading to the grocery store.  So, I've found ways to still look fierce while wearing stretchy pants. 

Here are a few of my all time favorite tips and tricks for a fit girl:

1. Add a few accessories to your every day gym wear to make it look like a legit outfit.  So, for those busy mommas on the move all the time, I just added a black blazer and some tall boots with a statement necklace to my regular every day gray Nike yoga pants and black tank.  Wala!  Ready to hit the streets without sacrificing style or comfort.  (and without lugging around a huge gym bag)

2. Find a great pair of leggings that make you feel fabulous!  And don't be afraid of color!  The brighter, the better :)

3.  I love this beauty trick!!  Line the inside of your bottom lids with WHITE eyeliner.  It will make your eyes POP!  If you have squinty eyes like me, this trick will come in handy.

4.  Find a pair of great shoes!!  Fabulous shoes always make me work harder.  Haha!  I'm such a girl :)  I know shoes can be costly, so when picking out the right pair, make sure you are going to love them a few weeks/months from purchasing them.  I love bright colored shoes, but they will only go with so many outfits.  If you can't afford a new pair of shoes every month, try buying a shoe that is more neutral, and then change out the shoe strings for added color. 

5.  Find a pair of fabulous gloves!  I got these from Femme Fitale and not only are they fashionable and make me feel feminine when I'm lifting, but they protect your hand from calluses.

6.  Write down your workouts.  Plan them.  I have all of my workouts written down on this ring of note cards.  That way I walk into the gym having a plan of attack.  I know exactly what I am supposed to be doing.  Also, if there is ever a day when I don't feel creative enough to come up with a different workout, it's great to whip these bad boys out and pick from my stack of note cards. 

7.  When the cold weather hits, it's important to bundle up.  So choose a bright colored vest like this one or jacket and scarf to throw on as you head out the door to the gym.  Vest is from Old Navy, scarf is from Nutrition Snob Clothing.

8.  Find a store that has great quality clothes that will last for a long time.  Gym clothes can be expensive.  But, it's better to find great pieces that will last than constantly replacing your yoga pants.  Athleta is one of my favorite stores (and most dangerous) because they have super cute clothing that are not too terribly expensive, but GREAT quality.  I would encourage you to invest in a couple pair of pants that will last.  When shopping, keep in mind what you have at home to pair with your purchases.  That way, you don't get home and realize you have nothing that goes with your new duds!

9.  Invest in a good spray tan.  For me, this is something I could never live without because I feel so BLAW when I don't have some color on me.  Not only does it give you a fresh look, but is completely %100 safe!  (and won't produce wrinkles later on...HOLLA!)

10.  Last but not least, JUST BE YOU!!!!!  No matter what you look like, what you weigh, what color of hair or eyes you have, where you live, what kind of car you drive....realize that YOU ARE FABULOUS!!!  God made you perfect!  Embrace your whole being and know that you are blessed!

Gorgeous G-Loves

I like to lift heavy, pull hard, push the limits, and sweat it out during my training.  There is nothing about my workouts that are delicate, gentle, or easy.  Whatever I wear or use for my training has some serious requirements to meet, including my gloves.  Being the girly girl that I am when my passion for intense training and desire for fabulous fabrics meet, I am one happy girl!

My most recent find has been the fabulous and functional G-Loves.

I admit the beautiful colors, designs, prints, and lace had me at HELLO!  Having had a few pairs of workout gloves I know what I want and after reading about the fabric, glove design for grip and breath ability I was all in!



Ive been using this amazing pair for two
weeks now and they have held up
great.  The fabric is so soft I hardly feel
like I am wearing them.  The grip is just enough to help me grab onto the weights or hang from the pull up bars just a little longer.  The best part is because of the fabric Ive noticed they don't stink as much as my last pair from all the sweat.  One of my clients also has these, she has washed them several times and says they come out like new.  Not only do they function as a pair of gloves should but they make me happy, seriously when I pull them out of my gym bag I cant wait to get them on, they are so pretty!!

I have my eye on a few other pairs, there are so many why not have a few sets right? Make sure to visit their website G-Loves and find your perfect match! And pick your print with CAUTION the cheetah does not go without being noticed!!!

As Always,
Love, Sweat, Grit,
