What’s up everybody?
Here are my go-to everyday items! Mostly these days I do various barre classes with Pure Barre which I love. I like to pair this with running/jogging/walking/hiking as well as some weight training or jump on a rower. Here is my list of items for all my activities! I know you will love them as well. I also included a great outdoor chair and bleacher seat for when I am watching my kids be active in the evenings!
I always start my day using my wonderful Ember mug. I have 3 kids and a dog and I am so over reheating cold coffee all morning. Ember keeps my coffee hot and fresh like it was just poured. It is a must to start my day. My Colorfulkoala leggings are my actual favorite. I have bought many leggings from many places and these are my tried and true best black leggings. I even bought both of my daughters a pair. Opaque enough to pass the squat test, perfect pocket for my phone, great height on my waist, and length on my ankles. I typically just wear sports bras from target or a few from Born Primitive, I have one from Lululemon that is just alright, I am still on the hunt for a great sports bra. I have a couple tops from Lulu that I really do love and have learn I like their tops at least one size up to have a more modest fit for my taste.
Tavi make my favorite sticky socks for my barre class and I like to wear slides to class so it is easy to take on and off before and after class. They have a lot of great styles and designs. I like my Stanley jug style water bottle, I do not have their classic popular straw cup but I prefer having my handle on top, its easier on the wrist and seals nicely. My sister loves the Simple Modern straw cup and I keep hearing that it is superior in its performance as a large straw cup with a handle. I love my Bala Bangles for wrist and ankle weights, the colors are so adorable, they have a soft touch texture and are adjustable.
My go-to running shoes are Saucony Kinvara, they are just great for my feet. Finding running shoes can be so overwhelming, so when you find some you love you just want to buy them again and again. I am team Apple Watch and Air Pods for now which my husband is not. I will share his picks in another post.
Some extra items I have included are mini bands I love for warming up my muscles and for some basic exercises, the recover compression boots we have and best slant blocks for stretching and workouts.
At the end of the day we are at all kinds of sports and the best seats for those activities are included as well. I will never sit on a bleacher without a bleacher seat again, it is a game changer. I also threw in some of my other favorite things!
