August Round Up!

Welcome to the monthly round-up! Here is where you can get a peek into some of my favorite things I have been using, fave purchases this month, what I am reading, and other helpful resources along with the ability to shop it ALL!

So let's get into AUGUST! 

I don't know about you but August hits and it slaps me with this weird mix of excitement for fall, football season, crisp mornings & sweaters....all while I'm sad that summer (and all the crazy adventures that come along with it) is coming to a close. And truthfully I think this month's purchase history shows how ready I am to hunker down, SLOW down, & get cozy for fall. So lets get into it shall we?!

• Kicking it off with probably the best purchase I made this month - these super-soft joggers. They are more like leggings material instead of sweatpants material, hug the ol' peach perfectly, and have the yoga pant waistband that makes them extra cozy. Probably my most worn piece of clothing this month TBH and they are holding up great! I have ZERO complaints with these and I am picky! I got them in a size large in black (for reference I usually get a medium in leggings)  and I'm already eyeing the gray camo and the leopard ones as well! And when they clock in at just $28.99 you can get multiple pairs! 

• Next up this is another huge fave! (We really hit the jackpot with these amazon finds this month). It is this cropped tank with a built-in sports bra! It's so stretchy and soft and is ultra-flattering! Comes in a bunch of colors but you know me...I love black and gray! So this graphite color was perfect! It offers great support for a good gym workout but if you are extra gifted in the chestal region like me....this isn't a high-impact piece if you know what I'm saying. Worn for multiple lifts...but stays in the drawer for running & plyos. Clocking in at $22.99 it is a much cheaper option to Lulu's align tank. I sized up to XL to account for the cropped length and for the gals. 

• OK...hear me out. While this was absolutely a complete and utter impulse purchase, it has been so awesome. While some people get really bad allergies in spring, my super bad allergy season is the end of August as we go into fall. Is it the smoke? Is it certain plants/weeds blooming? We will never know but let me tell ya this thing has been a godsend for my insane morning puffy eyes. I love a jade roller as much as the next guy but this is a FROZEN facial roller. You just keep it in the freezer and roll out your face hold it on your puffy eyes and bang! Good as new. I can't rave about it enough but you'll just have to experience it for yourself - only $9.99!

What I've been reading:

I wrapped up one book at the beginning of august and am about halfway through another and will share them both with you because...well they both deserve a spotlight - 

• I wrapped up Brene Brown's Dare to Lead at the beginning of this month and YALL! It is fantastic! It's all about leading with vulnerability (which I struggle with) and not only challenged me in new ways...but also had the research to back it up. Great read! Highly reccomend.

• Now I am about halfway through this book "It Takes What It Takes" And this book is SO GOOD! Sam ordered it back in July, finished it, loved it and now I am loving it! I am flying through it (and am generally a slow reader) and it is just chock-full of so many aha nuggets. It can be applied to personal development, your personal health and fitness journey, or even business. Only halfway through but already highly recommend it!

Hope you loved this month's round-up and snag something for yourself! 

Love yall,
