Weekly Workouts

This week’s workouts …

Since we’ve moved to strictly at-home workouts, I’ve been sharing my workouts daily on Instagram Stories. I saved them all to a highlight on my Instagram page if you need some inspiration! Most are short 30 minute workouts, easy to squeeze in!

Today (Friday), Michael and I are streaming a yoga class from the studio we attend here in Houston, Yoga Works. You can check out the schedule here: https://www.yogaworks.com/classes/live/

Michael and I have also been taking numerous short walks around our neighborhood during the day to break up the days.

Weekend Plans

I’m so looking forward to relaxing a bit this weekend, no computer time on Saturday! I’m hoping for nice weather (for you too!) so that we can at least enjoy our deck and go on a few long walks. Looking forward to wine time tonight!

A few things on my to do list this weekend to pass the time (and be a bit productive):

• Washing my makeup brushes
• Switching closet to spring/summer
• Reading my book – currently reading this!
• Getting ahead on blog posts
• West World marathon (we just started it this week!)
• Catching up on my Bravo shows … Vanderpump Rules, Summer House

My Favorite Things this Week

A few of my favorite things this week …

Everlane Leggings (currently on sale two-for) // If you’re looking to stay comfy while working from home but still want to feel put together, this pair of Everlane leggings is a must have! I like to pair mine with nicer oversized sweaters (like this one) and sneakers. I wore mine this week for a comfy work-from-home look!

Supergoop Matte Everyday SPF // With our daily walks and with it being near 90 degrees all week in Houston, I made sure to apply this Matte Everyday SPF after my morning skincare, before applying a touch of makeup. I actually reordered a refill of this product as I’m almost out! It’s really good! SPF 40, but it’s tinted and matte (not greasy at all), so it goes on really smooth. It’s a mineral sunscreen – non-toxic and safe!

Abercrombie White Jeans (30% off!) // These are the most comfortable jeans I’ve purchased/worn in a LONG TIME. The perfect white denim for spring summer! High waisted, soft denim, loose, straight-leg fit. They run TTS, I wear my normal jean size 26.

Take a few deep breaths, get outdoors, and try to stay off social media for a bit this weekend! 🙂
