Dye Ties aka hair ties

I saw these at the IBS show in April and was instantly drawn to these groovy dyed hair ties. I currently use these kinds of stretchy ribbon ties because they feel better than traditional hairties. (they're not as tight!) They were sweet enough to let me sample one and I use this whenever I tie my hair up! They also make fun bracelets.

Tone It Up meet & Greet in NYC

On May 9th, after my awesome day at the Fitness Magazine's Meet & Tweet, I got to meet the ladies behind Tone It Up! Hi Karena and Katrina!! Been a follower of their YouTube videos and their brand for over a year now and I live how inspirational they are. Their workouts are so so fun and effective in toning! They had Spring into Bikini Series last year and they're doing it again! If you haven't signed up yet, check out their site toneitup.com and join them on Facebook, twitter or their community! As an early bird, I also got a signed copy of their Beach Babe DVD! They were incredibly nice and had such a groupie moment! Took a picture with them and left with smiles on my face!

My May Birchbox

My Gossip Girl inspired Birchbox was so-so for me.. It seemed like random products together- tho I do like the brands individually. I guess I was expecting it to be a WOW since it was a themed box. Unfortunately, no wow factor here. And if you're a fan of GG, CW announced its finale half season in the Fall. (tear)

Contents include: Ojon, Caudalie, LipFusion balm, Arquiste parfum sample and an XOXO notecard.

NIVEA's bridal kit

It's wedding season and if you or you know someone who's getting married, who's in the wedding party or who is even going to a wedding (and want to look their very best!), NIVEA has some great products to get your/their body exfoliated & moisturized. NIVEA has a slogan: Touch or Be Touched so naturally they carry skin care products designed for both women and men. They tout a "Bridal Kit" in which they recommend these products to use for the Big Day!!

For the Bride:
Touch of Reveal Lathering Body Scrub- this incredibly moisturizing body wash has exfoliating microbeads to gently slough away dead skin cells while leaving your skin silky smooth. It comes in a huge tube which makes it easy to hold onto in the shower and squeeze a good amount on your favorite pouf. This works up a great lather so you get the benefits of a body wash + scrub + moisturizer.

Extended Moisture Daily Lotion- Made for those with really dry skin, this is perfect to use after the shower to help hydrate your skin. It contains Provitamin B5 as well as their Hydra IQ Technology to give your skin long-lasting moisture. I used this and my legs and feet still feel good.

For the Groom:

NIVEA for men: Maximum hydration nourishing lotion- this contains sea minerals and from what I hear really moisturizes well for your face and the rest of your body. It's an easy solution for your guy who isn't into using fancy product when a one-stop shop is all he needs. The only thing I've heard is that he wishes the moisturizing lasted longer.

NIVEA for Men: RELAX Body Wash- This is also a 3-in-1 product in which you can wash your face, body and hair! This is a winner- because it smells incredibly nice and can be used for the entire body in the shower. It works well as a shampoo and body wash but for the face, and I quote "it naturally washes my face when I'm washing my hair" so no need to put additional product on the face if not needed. If only my skincare routine was that simple!

Clark's Botanical Smoothing Marine Cream Review

I first learned and tried Clark's Botanicals through my Birchbox when I received a sample of their Intense Radiance Mask. I instantly fell in love with the soothing white-clay mask that brightened my skin. To complement the mask, I use their Smoothing Marine Cream that gently exfoliates and moisturizes my skin afterward. According to their site, the ingredients that are used are:
Glycolic Acid and Algae Extracts soften the appearance of fine lines, while Jasmine Absolute helps soothe and nourish stressed-out skin. So far, I have been pleased with using it. Although it leaves my skin a bit sticky, I definitely feel that my skin is benefitting from its botanical ingredients for soothing skin!

BlissMoBox: Hellooo, morning!

My May BlissMoBox was themed "Hellooo, Morning" and can I say that it has definitely brightened up my morning after trying these goodies! The assortment from the 7 brands has definitely peaked my interest as I love trying different healthy snacks. I'm was most excited about trying the Mayesa Cacao (cacao beverage- think chocolate) and the Slice of Life vitamins (they're gummies)!! The upfront granola was delicious, healthy and definitely tasty. I'm saving my Hemp Hearts when I get my Siggi's greek yogurt. :) Will also be saving my Go Raw Energy Bars after my workouts this month. I'm pretty pleased with this month's box and look forward to future BlissMo boxes!

MPG Sport Review

I recently went to a Spring preview for MPG Sport, (MPG stands for Mondetta Performance Gear), and saw their new tanks, bottoms and new YogaToner pants. At first glance, I fell in loved with the bright colors and fashionable styles. I love that the tanks are versatile in that you can wear them as your workout gear but they look good enough to wear them outside of the yoga studio or gym. The detailing in the clothing is also impressive. Check it out below:

From their current Spring/Summer line

I got to try two tops that I thought would be great additions to my fitness wardrobe- the Ziggy tank and Bolero sweatshirt. The Ziggy Tank in Regal is a beautiful royal purple that has a tank + built in sports bra. Its beautiful twisted bottom pleated is different which is why I love it. It's slightly longer than most tanks which is great when wearing hip hugging bottoms. I'm also loving the material - which gives a smooth silhouette and absorbs sweat fast!  The Bolero sweatshirt is the most comfiest ever! It's got two pockets so you can store your keys, ID, $, phone while you're out. It's thin enough for layering but also good enough to keep you warm. Can't wait to check out their new products to add to my expanding fitness wardrobe. :)

BlissmoBox: Natural Nibblers

Whoops, I received my April BlissmoBox towards the end of the month but didn't get a chance to share. I selected the natural nibbler snacks box and received goodies from organic lollipops to delicious chocolate bars. I couldn't stop myself from tasting all these treats. Here's what I got:

Here's a look in my box:

Definitely ate the YogaVive Apple Chips first as well as the delicious Rapunzel chocolate. I've tried the Food Should Taste Good Multigrain chips and Yummy Earth lollipops before and definitely like them a lot! BlissMoBox did a great job in putting this assorted natural nibblers box together.Stay tuned for my review on May's Morning box!
