Keep Strong & Carry On: Hot Yoga

While beauty and fashion are a big part of my life, so is working out (and baking). One of my favorite workouts is hot yoga. (I got the idea from this post driving home from hot yoga tonight) I go 2-3 times depending on my schedule during the week and I always feel amazing after. During the class, especially on a hot summer day, (I won't lie) it can feel never ending. I am getting past being sore for days after so I know I'm building up my muscles and endurance and that feels great. There was a point that I could go to a yoga class on Sunday and still be sore the next Sunday, it takes time and the amount of work you do may surprise you.

My hot yoga outfit typically consists of a sports bra, tank top, cropped leggings and my hair up in a bun. Advice for going to hot yoga: drink plenty of water. It is very to drink enough water always but especially when going to hot yoga. Drink a lot before you go, have at least one bottle with you in the class and have another or refill after the class. I have almost fainted in more than one class either when I went up to standing or was shifting into a balance pose - it was not fun and I do not recommend that feeling.

I do a bunch of other workouts besides yoga, especially during the school year. I plan to do more fitness types posts soon!

What is your favorite workout and have you ever tried hot yoga? Let me know!

Face Off: Eye Makeup Remover

Too much of this, too little of that, it is becoming very difficult to find a good eye makeup remover. Some leave too much of a residue, some just don't do their job and some burn or irritate your eyes. This is my the good, the bad, the ugly findings and I still have yet to find a great one.

Out of these four there is one clear winner, it is not absolutely amazing but it works well and can get the job done better than the rest.

All Used Up

I love seeing reviews on products that people used up because I feel like when you completely use up a product is when you are able to get the best review. Some products start out well and then after a month of use are no good or make you break out but early reviews would be like "oh my goodness this is soooo amazing everyone needs it!" Reality, nope not all that great when you kept using it.

I typically just throw away my empty products but I thought it would make a good blog post so these are the products I've finished in the last two weeks. (Side note: isn't it the worst when everything you use runs out at the same time? Its convenient cause you only need to make one big trip to get all your replacements but lets be honest, it is not always possible to get your replacement right when your old stuff runs out.)
