barre class
Today I took my first ever barre class. It’s been quite the trendy workout lately and I’ve heard so many girls swear by it, so I figured I’d give it a try. I took the Core Fusion class at Exhale Spa, and honestly I had no idea what to expect. I was hoping it wouldn’t be too dance-y because that’s not really my thing, and thankfully wasn’t. What it WAS, though, was a much more difficult class than I expected (in a good way). I liked that it was very fast-paced, and the instructor Julie was really attentive and motivating. I know I’m gonna feel all sorts of sore tomorrow!
SBTB on Jimmy Fallon
Any human being that has been on Facebook today has probably seen this a million times already, but it’s just so good. So much nostalgia…
the half bun
I’ve seen this hairstyle all over Pinterest lately, and I just think it’s so cute. Granted, this is a totally messy version of it (and hello roots), but you get the idea.
Bare Minerals
I have a full post (+ a vlog!) coming on these products soon, but I can’t help but share how much I love them. The neutral eye shadow palettes are the perfect shades, and the Complexion Rescue is one of the best makeup products I’ve tried in a long time.
everything about these looks
Is it spring yet?
Juice Press Fireball
I’ve been a huge fan of Juice Press for a while, so I was really excited when they surprised me with some samples of their Fireball + Mother Earth juice. I had never tried the Fireball, and let me tell you…this stuff is not for the faint of heart. It is SPICY. It definitely will wake you up in the morning, and I’ve heard it can work wonders (immunity booster? Don’t mind if I do).
Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Brown Butter and Toasted Walnuts
Sometimes I like to get a little fancy pants with my lunch. But don’t let the looks of this fool you - it took just about 10 minutes to make! I used store bought sweet potato gnocchi (from Whole Foods) and added some brown butter and toasted walnuts. Comfort food at its finest.
What Pinterest-inspired looks/trends are you loving right now?
Have you tried a barre class?
I tried Flybarre over the weekend. I absolutely loved it- you should check it out! I know they have locations in NYC.
Yes, I’ve heard of that! It’s associated with FlyWheel, right?
I have been enjoying your recent posts
for a second I thought this was turning into a fashion blog
Haha, thanks for that. I like implementing the fashion stuff here and there, but at the end of the day there are just so many other things I’m more interested in and enjoy sharing
As much as I love my CrossFit, I have been able to try barre and have loved it as well. I think it is the former dancer in me. I wish we had a studio in my town; if we did, I’d totally put it in my workout routine. I love the hair! Wish mine was a little longer so I could do the same…
I’ve still yet to try Crossfit! It scares me haha
Oh man, that Saved by the Bell thing was awesome- how is it possible that none of them have aged?? I was always a Zach Morris girl and have to say that I still am
And those juices sound awesome! I love trying new brands of green drinks and the one with the kick sounds really interesting!
I took a Barre class over the holidays and it was INTENSE!
I love PureBarre! We don’t have a studio around where I live, so I’ve had to try other Barre classes at local gyms. They just aren’t the same.
