Hi friends!!! I've never really done something like this on my blog before, but I figured why the heck not! I'm going to share what some of my fav food, fitness, beauty, and life items are currently. I love hearing about what other people are lovinnggg & hope to give y'all some ideas/fun stuff to try!!
Here we go!!
Foodie Favs:
Square Organics Popcorn: This stuff is literally AMAZINGGG. Ugh I love it sm. Who know protein popcorn could taste so good??? They have three flavahss but the "lightly sweet" is by far my favorite. Square Organics gave me a discount code to share with y'all too "mikfoodfitness" - save yahself some moneyzz & enjoy yahself a bag of this stuff!
RX Bars: My absolute favorite snack of choice. As a waitress, student, and overall busy-bee, I'm always on the go which means the hunger is REAL. These are perfect to throw in my bag. The OG peanut butter has been my go-to recently, but yah honestly can't go wrong with any of the flavors. Real ingredients. Keeps me satisfied. Doesn't hurt my tummy. An overall win.
Peanut Butter: AKA bae. AKA the love of my life. AKA my best-friend. You get the gist. Slightly obsessed. Teddies Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter is my saving grace. I eat this 'ish all day everyday on everything and anything. It's life changing, I swear.
Lesser Evil Buddah Bowl Foods Sweet & Salty Popcorn: More popcorn!! Are you surprised? Me either, LMAO. Have a hard time deciding between sweet and salty like me? This popcorn is perf for you. Gives yah just the right amount of both. A big bowl of this and a good netflix show, now we're talkinnn'!!!
Halo Top Dairy Free Ice Cream: Being DF doesn't have to suck anymore because Halo Top has changed the game!!! Sea Salt Caramel, Pancakes & Waffles, and Candy Bar are AMAZING. Birthday Cake, NOT SM. Major let-down on that one, but the rest are LIT so i'll let it slide. They have a lot of fiber which is kinda MEH, but just be mindful of your intake before hand if yah plan on devouring a whole pint and don't want the bloat that comes w/ it!
Al Fresco Chicken Bacon: All time fav food growing up? Mine was hands down bacon. It had to be greasy and it had to be crispy AF. My tummy issues kinda put a damper on that, but AL FRESCO YOU SWEET PEOPLE YOU coming out with this amazing chicken bacon that tastes like my child-hood all over again and doesn't leave my stomach in knots. YOU ROCKKKKK!!! Throw it on a salad, have it with your eggs and toast, whip up a BLT, top your rice bowl off with it. Endless opportunity & shook af taste buds, I promise yah. (I even have my BF hooked on this).
Kite Hill Foods Dairy Free Cream Cheese: Amazinnnggg. Another fav food growing up was a FAT bagel with ALLL the cream cheese. Once again, F you tummy probz. But, it's all good because Kite Hill comes in clutch with their DF chive cream cheese. Tastes just like the real stuff and leaves my tummy happy as can be. You need to get you some, you won't regret it (I eat this in my rice bowls evverrrydaayy)!!
Beauty Favs:
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara: I've been using this brand of mascara for as long as I can remember - (I think like 10th grade)?? Regardless, this stuff makes your eyelashes look FAB AF. It's a little pricy (like 28 bucks pricy), but well worth it IMO. I don't splurge that much on beauty products so this isn't really a bigggiee for me. I usually get mine at Ulta or Sephora!
Bare Minerals Bare Pro Foundation: Yah girl has sensitive skin so it's essential that I buy quality make-up for the most part. With that being said, I hardly ever wear makeup so this stuff will last me awhile and IMO is worth the extra bucks. This stuff doesn't leave my face feeling oily or greasy & gives me the perf natural glow-like look I am aiming for when I go out. A+ peeps. I got mine at Sephora in the Pecan color!
Wet N Wild Highlight Powder: This seems to be the cool new thing lately so I figured ahhh what the heck - imma find me a decent highlighting powder that doesn't break the wallet since i'll only be wearing it every now and then. This one does the trick. Looks naturalish, which I like! I think it was between like 6 and 8 bucks? I got it at Target, but I am sure you could find it at any drug store or Walmart!
Simple Moisturizing Lotion: If I am being honest with y'all, I have absolutely NO skin care routine. If I wear makeup, I wash my face with make-up wipes. If it's just a regular day, I literally was my face in the shower with water and that's it lol. I'm actually pretty lucky and blessed with my skin. One thing I do use almost everyday though is this lotion. I swear it's magic and once again perf for my sensitive skin. There have been times where I've gotten completely fried in the sun, came home, put this stuff on, and never peeled. It's so refreshing, not super heavy, doesn't make my skin oily, and just leaves my skin glowing. 10/10. I get it at my grocery store & i've seen it just about everywhere!
Style Essentials Lip Butter: I LOVE this stuff. I'm never one to wear lipstick or lipgloss. If I am being honest again, I rarely use chapstick. However, my lips tend to get sort of dry & peel, especially during the summer. This stuff came in a pack of like 5 or 6 different colors. The Nude is by far my fav. I got it at my Marshall's in the clearance section for approx. three dollars!! They're the perf mix of lipgloss/chapstick/lipstick so if yah see them, I highly recommend picking them up!
Hair Skin & Nails Pills: I know people are always super skeptical about whether these work or not. I've been taking them for close to a year and I believe THEY WORK. My hair used to only grow to a certain length and then stop. My nails were always fragile and breaking. My skin has never really been an issue, but my skin is super clear the majority of the time now. My hair grows SO fast and my nails are SO much stronger and actually grow now. If you are curious, try them! Give it a few months, take them consistently (KEY WORD) and I guarantee you will see results. I take them every morning when I wake up. It's a part of my routine now and I know they have helped me. Not to mention, they taste BOMB.
Fitness Favs:
Vooray Gym Backpack: Treated myself to this gym backpack a little while ago. I love the color and pattern. Love the top & how it's a drawstring. There's enough space to fit all my stuff & the backpack style makes it super convenient and easy to carry around the gym with me. Bought this baby off of Amazon (I don't know if it was cheaper - I'm just impatient & prime shipping is LIT). Highly recommend Vooray - this is my second bag from them. The quality is A1.
PE Science Peanut Butter Protein Powder: This is a staple in my everyday oats bowl. The flavor and texture is phenomenal. It makes the cakiest oats you've ever seen. If you're struggling to find a protein powder you enjoy - THIS IS YOUR BABBYY. My BF and I devour this stuff. I normally have a weak tummy for protein, but not this one, hallelujah. Give it a try!! You can never really go wrong with peanut butter anything, am I right or am I right? (and doggooo approves) Now yah have to try it.
Misc. Favs:
White Claws: Call me a "typical fit girl," but these are def my fav alcoholic drannnkkkk. It was most certainly the drink of summer 2018 for me & I won't be stopping anytime soon. My fav flavaahss are black cherry and lime! They're all good though!! They don't have too much carbonation which is nice on my tummy, no added sugars (which can trigger my IBS so I work to avoid this in drinks), and they taste YUMMY!!! It's a win, win, win in my book.
Zaful Bikinis: I live in FL & am constantly at the beach or the pool in my free time! With that being said, yah girl likes having LOTS of options when it comes to bathing suits. You know how some people excessively buy shoes or jewelry? That's how I am with bathing suits! Everybody has that one thing they can't stop themselves from buying. Luckily, Zaful has the CUTEST bathing suits for a bomb price (and good quality, especially for the price). I did a try on haul which is up on my IGTV if you're interested in learning more about sizing and styles. Pictured below is one of my fav styles that I have in a ton of colors (peep me drinking my white claw hehe - told yah I love them)!!
I hope yah enjoyed this fun 'lil blog post! Lemme know some of your favs & shoot me a DM if yah try something out or have any questions, just wanna chat, concerns, whatever you've got - I wanna hear it!!
Until next time!!
