On Beauty: Facial Cleanser Wars!



It is definitely difficult to keep your face clean and pretty throughout the summer months.  But your face is your first introduction to the world.  Therefore, it is important to keep it clean, smooth and pretty as you can.  The question today is, which cleanser is the best for you.

I have used both Olay and Proactiv at different stages of my life.  During the awkward, teenage years and then now in my thirties, when breakouts are not so frequent.  But ladies, if you have used one or the other, which one worked best for you?
VS 

And you've used neither, what face products have you tried and works best for you?

Be Inspired Monday: It's in the Stars...

When i was in middle school, one of our field trips was to the planetarium.  It was one of the best trips we had ever been on.  As a child, sitting in the seats and experiencing the stars above was magical and something completely out of this world.



I did not do much star gazing as a child growing up in the great outdoors.  My mother and grandmother told me that if i counted the stars i would go blind and as a child, i did not want to go blind.  I believe they told me this so i would be afraid to go outside after dark.  And it certainly worked.

On that field trip, i was inspired to imagine that there is something bigger than myself in the universal!  After all these years, i remember that trip like it was yesterday.  I haven't returned to the planetarium but it was a trip that has remained with me through all these years.



I cannot wait to take my children to the planetarium and experience all the magic and wonder it has to offer.

Were you ever inspired by a school trip as a child?

Fitness, Food & Fun Friday:Work Out in Something Fun!

We all know as we get older, working out becomes a little difficult. The kids are pulling you this way and that way. The husband is wanting your attention. Work is driving you crazy. Your mother keeps calling.

And one way to find some fun quality time for yourself is through working out! And why not look good while you are working out?!



Some of us may go straight for the t-shirts, jogging pants and sneakers! The comfortable mom work-outfit!






From Tuesday, Naomi of Miso Glamorous, reminded us when "you look good, you feel good" and that can definitely translate into our work-outfits. Clothes in general can make you feel good and honestly gym clothes can do the same thing!



We are not talking about inappropriate outfits like this:






Or this:






But comfortable, stylish and fun outfits like this:






Speaking from experience, when i wear clothes that fit and are comfortable, i get an awesome workout.



Most work-outfits that are dri-fit are awesome because sweat tends to not stick. They are also uber comfortably. There is nothing worse than working out and feeling itchy in the process.



TC30s recommends you have your basic work-outfits:



1) a well fitted and supported sports bra.

2) comfortable pants

3) well fitted tank top (or shirt)

4) long sleeve shirt (or hoodie)

5) comfortable socks

6) well fitted running shoes

7) water bottle








There is nothing wrong with t-shirts and jogging pants but try this week ladies

and work out in something fun and comfortable

and you will notice a difference!



Confess ladies, what are some of your favorite go-to work-outfits?
