Outside of the Frames: Workout Attire

As I was walking by the Gap in the mall I noticed a manikin wearing these great workout pants.  So wondered in and was surprised to find so many get deals. I have not been in the Gap for almost 7 or more years. As a child I was dressed in clothes from the Gap but as I got older I found new stores such as Aritzia, Urban Outfitters, Bebe, Lululemon, Nike, American Apparel, Winners, American eagle, Holliser, Aerie etc. While in the Gap, I was surprised to find the new line of GapFit which are theses great workout cloths.  


I also picked up two tshirts for $20 and three pairs of socks for $9. 

This is the shirt I picked up. Love the colour!! The shirt was regularly $29.95 and I got it for $17.99. 

I also bought these pants but with mint and purple stripes on the side.   The pants where on sale for $35 from $49.95.


For under $60 thats a really good price to buy workout cloths. 
Another thing I love about these workout cloths is they are made in vietnam instead of China. It's important to me to find clothing that is not made in China. 
I always feel good when I wear a cute outfits to workout in. It gives me that extra boost of confidence. 


Do you own workout cloths from the Gapfit line? What are your thoughts on the GapFit line? What is your favorite workout brand?

Have a wonderful day !

Outside of the Frames: Pilates


I just did Pilates for the first time and loved it. I thought pilates was much easier, I was surprised to find out its not so easy. It's much more diffcult then I ever imagined. The slower you go, while doing each movement the harder it actucally is! I did pilates for 40 minutes and felt my core was stenghted after I finished. I think it would be a really good idea for me to do 30 minutes of pilates in the morning and then in the evening. I will try to do pilates both in the morning/evening and see how it  goes.


If you haven't tried pilates. Try it out you may just love it!

Stay fit and beautiful! 

Outside of the Frames: Fresh Face

I recently bought the Catastrophe Cosmetic fresh mask by Lush. I like to use this mask every other day.  The mask is both calming and soothing to the face.  Its a deep cleansing treatment that is gentle enough to use ever other day or even daily. This mask does not leave my face feeling dry. I immediately, after only one use, felt a difference in the softness of my skin. I apply the mask before I go to bed and when I wake up the redness and irritation has calmed down and mostly faded away.


Have you ever used this mask? Whats your favorite mask?

Have a wonderful day!

Outside of the Frames: Fitness


For the past few days I have been working out on the elliptical for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Before I start my workout I like to start by stretching for about 5 minutes. Then I like to do about 10-20 pushups, 10-20 crunches and 15 situps. After I have finished working out on the ellipitical I do 3-5 minutes of stretching. 


I really enjoy doing this fitness routine. I like how I do not feel sore after my workout, I just feel good and energized.

Stay healthy

Outside of the Frames: Bananas = Clear skin!

Today I can across a post on pinterest, I then clicked on the post which lead me to a cool blog. The post was about using Banana Peels to treat acne. I had no idea that bananas have the power to fight against acne, due to the fact they have potassium and antioxidants to powerfully reduce swelling, irritation and redness.

The steps: First to eat a Banana, since they are so good for you. Cut a 1 inch piece off the banana. Rub the piece, you cut off on the irritated area for about 5 minutes. Then cut another piece if needed and repeat on another irritated area. Then take lukewarm water and clean the skin around the area, but make sure the banana dries out on your skin to clear up the blemishes. Do this three times a day. 

I love how this a great natural way to clear acne. I find, I have small breakouts occasionally and would rather not us harsh chemical products on my skin that usually only do more harm in the long run. I will for sure be trying this out tonight!

Try it out an tell me what you think. 

Have a wonderful day and stay beautiful!!
