Friday Fave

My Friday Fave for 9/25/15!

Today I’m going to share my little secret to keeping my skin looking fresh and even at the gym: Mary Kay CC cream!  This stuff is incredible!  I am so grateful my mother convinced me to try it one day.  I will never go back!

Mary Kay CC cream has been out for a little while now.  The first time I tried it, I was so astounded how much it covered, but yet it’s literally a tinted moisturizer!  I mean, I almost looked like I put on foundation!

This has been my go-to now for well over a year and I literally only put that on my skin in the morning before heading to work at the gym.  I love that it stays on thru sweating all day, and still lets my skin breathe.  Breakouts can happen easily for anyone, but its always worse when you have on a full face of make up and are sweating it out in Zumba class!  That’s asking for a serious, angry, red pimple to pop up on that forehead or chin!

What’s more astounding is that I find myself even using the CC cream when I’m not headed to the gym – I put it on before running errands or heading to church on Sundays (I just amp it up with more makeup around my eyes so it looks like I tried that morning! 🙂 )  It gives me enough coverage to even out my skin tone versus looking like I just rolled out of bed!

If you want to give Mary Kay CC cream a try, email me at pghuenink@gmail.com – I can put you in touch with someone who has access to the CC cream and so much more!  Hopefully you will fall in love with this easy fix that lets your skin breathe and you will never go back to taking so much time to do your makeup in the morning!

Enjoy!

Friday Fave 9/18/15!

I am so excited to do a little loving on Old Navy today for my Friday Fave!  I recently discovered their active wear line has been upgraded – and I mean UP-GRADE-ED.  Their workout clothes have fast become my new staple for so many reasons!

I could go on and on about ALL of Old Navy’s active wear, but I’m going to stick with telling you how much I absolutely love their workout pants.  First of all, check out the picture above – can you say awesome?!  That picture I took from online today (so those are the actual sale prices of those pants currently!) and it’s only showing you a few of the green and blue colored pants.  They have a lot more colors and even styles!

I have been in fitness long enough to state that the staple workout clothes not too long ago was a pair of cotton shorts rolled at the waist paired with an old, cut-up t-shirt.  It was so boring!  In fact, you kind of avoided going out in public in those clothes (unless you just really didn’t care) because you knew you weren’t making the best impression!

I am so excited that Old Navy has taken the time to tap into their workout line and make their clothes so STYLISH!  For someone who works in fitness, I don’t always get an opportunity to show off my personal style – and this active wear line is FINALLY allowing me to do that!  Plus the styles are cute and fit the way they should, so I can feel comfortable in public.

Outside of stylish, I have now gotten the opportunity to test out these pants.  I have worn them all day long thru 3-4 sweat-session classes, thru health evaluations and interacting with members at the fitness facility I work at.  These pants hold up to all that, as well as hold you in in all the right places, stay where they are supposed to (aka, not constantly hiking them up over and over again) and actually do wick away sweat and dry quickly!  Plus the patterns are fun and constantly draw compliments.  I could not be happier with an opportunity to have stylish, functional workout clothes at an awesome price!

Take an opportunity to check out these pants, as well as their entire workout line.  I promise you will be impressed with the style, quality AND the prices!!!!!

Enjoy!

Friday Fave 9/11/15!!!!

Hi All!  I have decided to start a Friday Fave post.  Each Friday I will post something that I truly love from the world of Fashion – especially fitness fashion!  (Which is finally so much better than a pair of shorts and a cut-up t-shirt!)

Since today we are remembering the 14th anniversary of 9/11/2001, I am sporting my American Flag infinity scarf at the Fitness Center.  And yes – I’m wearing it with my workout clothes 🙂 Not only is it super simple to dress patriotic with this scarf, but it’s easy to be festive for each American holiday with this one fashion piece!  It is made of a light material so it is wearable year-round and is also a slightly distressed version of the American Flag, which goes well with pretty much any outfit.

I found my infinity scarf at Dry Goods very early last spring and unfortunately it seems to not be available anymore.  However, below is a link for a scarf that is exactly the same on Amazon for literally half the price!  I dropped about $25.00 on my scarf, but Amazon and Riverberry are selling them for only $7.59!!!  And bonus if you’ve got Amazon Prime – your shipping is free 🙂

Here is the Link:

Enjoy everyone!
