Friday Favs

I haven’t done a Friday Favs post in forever so I thought I’d share a few of my favorite new summer goodies this week, c/o BabbleBoxx. This care package included some athletic wear, therapy bath essentials, a hydrating serum and mascara. Let’s dig in, shall we?

2(X)ist Athletic Wear: This square tank and these leggings are easily going to be incorporated into my summer fitness routine. They’re very streamlined and flattering on, which is something I look for in gym clothes. I want to be able to look in the mirror while I’m pumping iron and think, “Damn, I look good!” It helps motivate me to keep working out hard. I just started up a summer session of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), and I can’t wait to wear these pieces at my next workout.

LiftActiv Serum 10 Supreme: This serum is a great alternative to Retinol, especially for me since my skin is pretty sensitive. It’s a lightweight anti-wrinkle and hydrating face serum that also smells lovely. I tried it on my skin and it helped illuminate and plump up my skin. We’ll see how it’s doing a few weeks and months from now.

IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara: I’ve been looking for a new mascara for summer and this Superhero Mascara from IT Cosmetics just might be it. I like the volume that this mascara adds, for a fuller, thicker lashline.

Village Naturals Therapy Bath Essentials: After HIITin it hard at the gym, coming home to a relaxing bath sounds pretty amazing. After a week of traveling I just got back into my workout routine today, and I’m so incredibly sore all over. Definitely taking advantage of these mineral bath soaks and oils tonight! A relaxing bath is also my favorite way to unwind after a long event day when I’m traveling (as seen here and here). And epsom salt is also an event planner’s secret weapon. So many of my teammates have recommended an epsom salt bath after running around on your feet all day for long events, so I’ll definitely be adding some of this foaming bath soak with epsom salt into my bath this summer after some of my upcoming events.

Tree Hut Shave Prep Body Scrub: This scrub is great for prepping your skin to make sure you get a smooth, close shave. It pampers skin and lifts hair with essential ingredients like oat kernel oil, which helps relieve skin irritation, and avocado oil to help keep skin moisturized.
