LAST MINUTE GIFT GUIDE FOR HER: UNDER $50

OUTFIT DETAILS: LEATHER JACKET / METALLIC SKIRTHEELS (SIMILAR) / LIPSTICK

Can you believe we are a week away from Christmas?! I got a lot of my Christmas shopping done early, but there are a few people that I still need to buy for. I am sort of stressing, hoping I can get it all done in time!

This past weekend we already had a celebration with my brother who will be away for Christmas this year. Kind of crazy that it’s going to be here and over before we know it!

Today I’m sharing GIFTS FOR HER: UNDER $50 because I’m hoping I’m not the only one who still has quite a few things to pick up! 🙂

My go-to gift for my girlfriends is usually a candle or candle set. Who doesnt love candles?! I burn one almost every night, I love getting candles. This Voluspa candle in Mokara is my absolute favorite, and will continue to repurchase over and over!

 

Next up are beauty products. There are so many great makeup, skincare and haircare sets out there which make great gifts. I love this Marc Jacobs Beauty Lip set, this Ouai Haircare set, and this Koppari set (this line smells so so good!)

 

Robes, slippers, beanies, gimme all the cozy feels especially during the holidays! This cute beanie is under $15, these are the softest most comfortable lounge pants EVER, and these slippers are pure heaven for under $40.

 

And a few more ideas for the women you love…

I’m backkk | Uber Fresh Juice

Hi and Happy Holidays loves! I haven’t posted in awhile! I am SO sorry for those of you who look for my posts, I have been MIA. I felt like I needed a little break and to unplug for a bit, but I am definitely ready to get back to work! I recently started a new job (dream job!!) and life has just gotten a little wild lately, but hoping to spend more time blogging in 2015!

Anyways, I hope you all are doing great, and still working on your fitness goals! I know, it’s tough during the holidays isn’t it? But stay strong with your workouts, and enjoy your time with family and friends. With all of the holiday parties, dinners and events, I’ve been trying to even out my nutrition a bit by eating healthy during the down times and juicing! I usually don’t cleanse, but I do love to have a juice every once in awhile for breakfast or afternoon snack. So it was perfect timing when Uber Fresh contacted me to try and share their juices with you all.

Uber Fresh is a Bay Area juice company who believes in making each juice raw without preservatives or processes to prolong shelf life, uses only organic fruit and produce and provides blends from the highest super nutrients- each juice is packed with over 3 pounds of fruits and veggies.

My first question was….So what’s the difference between Uber Fresh and other juice companies?

  • It’s cold pressed- which is a method for extracting the juice that does not oxidize and keeps the enzymes and nutrients in tact.
  • 100% organic- no pesticides, no GMO
  • 100% raw- never HPP’ed
  • Over 3lbs of only high quality produce in each juice
  • THEY ALL TASTE AMAZING!! (In my opinion)

How it works:

1. Order Online using link: HERE

2. Select Delivery Type: Choose free pickup from your gym (Bay Area only) or select premium delivery to your door for an additional service fee.

3. Shake & Enjoy Quickly: Juices are 100% raw. No preservatives, pasteurization, or high pressure pasteurization to extend the shelf of our products. Keep refrigerated, shake well, and enjoy within 3-4 days.

I hope you all enjoy your holiday with family and yummy food and cocktails, but don’t forget to squeeze in some fresh fruits and veggies in the mix!

Holiday Season Thoughts

c5c69ed9e7d69888487e3005eb350a3a

The holidays are right around the corner! Scary thought to think that the new year is almost here. This year seemed to fly by for me. Anyways, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New years, what are your thoughts about temptation this time of year? And by temptation I mean, all the sweets, and food galore that the season brings. Well guess what, it doesn’t mean the hard work you’ve put in all year has  to go to waste…but beware, it can!

After thinking long and hard about this, I think that now is the time to work harder than ever before! Personally, when the food is in front of me, its hard to resist. Out of sight out of mind, is what I do day to day at home and work. BUT, not so much the case during the holidays. By working hard in the gym and keeping my nutrition on point, I’ll allow myself a little splurge at a family gathering or holiday party. My friend posted on Instagram which I loved: “I prefer my winter coat to be part of my wardrobe, not my body.” (Thanks Chels!)

When you are working hard and putting in all the effort in the world to look and feel your best, the chances to ruin your progress are slim. Also, remember when you eat like crap you feel like crap? Yep, perfect example this weekend after indulging in more ice cream then I deserved- I felt like crap the rest of the day! My point? By putting in 110% into this lifestyle, having a few cocktails, a traditional Thanksgiving meal and piece of pie isn’t going to be a big deal.

So it’s up to you to decide…you can say screw it the next few months, but those splurges will only dig you a little deeper and all that work and results you started to see will be a big waste of time. Let’s not let the traditional New Years resolution “to work out starting January 1st” be your time to commit. Why not work out all year round?! You will be far ahead of the game!

Don’t feel bad about a treat here or there, don’t over-think it, just keep up the great work and you will be able to enjoy the holidays even more!

How will you be going about your fitness lifestyle this holiday season? Please do share! xo

They contain mostly walnuts, very little wheat flour and flax seeds which are excellent for your health and well-being.

Happy Walnut Cookie Recipe:

Heat oven to 350

2 1/2 cup rough chopped walnuts

2/3 cup whole wheat flour
