Life Update: Moving, Future Planning, and Goal Setting

Happy Wednesday friends!

This week I wanted to share a life update and talk about a few things here that I’m super excited about!

First off Travis and I are getting ready to move…again! Yes you might recall we made a move last November and not even a year later we are moving again, this time only about 20 minutes away so not a big deal. We received an amazing opportunity we couldn’t pass up and are super excited for a bigger space and new place (hopefully the last new place before a house). I’ll be sharing more décor posts and home things on the blog as this place we will be replacing a lot of furniture and different things that would come with us to a house.

This move is going to allow us to hopefully start preparing for buying a house soon so we are doing everything we can to really prepare and set ourselves up for success when we finally decide to purchase a home. The market is super crazy right now so we are holding off for now.

Finally I’m working on some major goal setting and working on those goals before my 30th birthday at the end of the year. Some of those goals include working on my health, bettering my business, and really preparing to start my 30’s off right.

Hope y’all have an amazing rest of your week and I’ll see you soon!

Goal Setting & My Plans

Happy Wednesday friends! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I’m sharing a fun mint green look here on the blog today from LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s! I’m loving this top it’s so comfortable and a fun color for spring!

This week I wanted to talk about goals and some changes I’m trying to make. as we come up on the second quarter of the year. I would love to work on waking up earlier and starting my day by going to the gym, I have some fitness and wellness goals I would love to fit before the end of the year and I think if I try and accomplish that one it will really help!

What are some goals you are setting as we go into quarter 2?

YogaClub - My honest review!

We all know it’s easier to find motivation to work out when you have cute active wear, anyone else?! I’m sharing my honest review of YogaClub!

YogaClub makes it easy with their fun style quiz and stylists personalized picks for you to find the perfect workout outfit, whether you do yoga or run around in your active wear doing errands. I especially appreciate that they are a size inclusive fitness subscription box service with sizes XS-3X, They have tons of different options whether you like more colorful or patterned pieces or basic solid colors they have something for everyone! The pieces are also super fashionable perfect for not only working out but running around and still looking put together! Definitely check them out!

My box came with a sport’s bra, top, and workout pants. I love blue so the the colors are right up my alley! I really enjoy the top and sport’s bra the materials are great and super high quality and the box is $79 monthly but you can also select your frequency which is so perfect, as a bonus you can use code LARAMIE20 for $20 off for life making the membership just $59 per box!! Check out my unboxing below!

LC Lauren Conrad Sleepwear & Me Time

Can we all agree there is nothing better than coming home after a long day at work and slipping on your pj’s and curling up on the couch with a great Netflix show? I don’t know about you but I spend an insane amount of time in my pajamas, not sorry! I’m currently obsessed with the new LC Lauren Conrad Sleepwear line that just came out a few weeks ago! The fabrics are so buttery and soft and the styles are just perfect, my ideal sleepwear! Just so comfortable, practical and of course super cute!

The bobble pocket tank and bottoms are so adorable and perfect for lounging around the house. I’m obsessed with the details on the pocket and love that the pants are drawstring and have pockets!

I’m also living for the blue ruffle chemise that is just so chic but again that same super soft and buttery feel just so comfortable and love the timeless print on this one! These would also be super cute for bridesmaids or a girls trip the colors are stunning!

I’m loving these pieces so much! One of the things are working on right now is me time and learning when to pause from the busyness of life! It’s difficult but I will say one of the things I enjoy most is having the house to myself, hanging out in my pj’s watching my trashy reality tv shows or cleaning our place! It’s become so necessary because with so much going on I’ve struggled with not feeling overwhelmed. How do you make time for yourself and what do you like to do?

April Ellie Look & Fitness Update

Happy April Everyone!

Time is just flying by this year! If you follow me over on Instagram @lifestyle_w_laramie you know that towards the beginning of February I decided to make a commitment to myself and replace “I don’t have time” with “It’s not a priority” when it came to my fitness schedule. Well once I started doing that my mind shifted and I started carving out time 4 times a week to workout, this is huge for me as I have never liked the gym. I’ve been a ballroom dancer my whole life and have never liked a gym atmosphere. however after college and not having as much dance at my disposal I became lazy and didn’t put myself first.

That ended almost two months ago because as we focus on wedding planning and building a life together I realize that if I don’t build these habits now with my health and wellness and focus on myself when will I ever? I want to be the best version of myself when I walk down the aisle not just physically, but mentally. That all starts with putting myself first and making moves!

That being said cute active-wear also motivates me to work out and y’all know that I have loved Ellie for years! They send the cutest work out clothes from the best brands! Below is a fun look from their April collection and I’m loving the cool cut outs on the pants! I definitely recommend checking them out especially if you’re looking to try some new pieces!

That’s all for today, just remember sometimes it’s important to put YOURSELF first! Take time for yourself, self care is so important and can really change everything you do and your outlook taking just a little time for yourself!

Healthy Lifestyle Gains

Here's to another Wednesday! I'm changing it up a bit and sharing some active wear with you all. The gym and I have a different relationship. I grew up ballroom dancing and do still dance but definitely not as much as I did growing up. Of course once I graduated college and started my full time career me and the gym grew even further apart. My first job out of school was on the opposite end of town and I drove an hour to and from work everyday so needless to say when I got home the last thing I wanted to do was workout or eat well. I still battle with this issue, 3 years later, different commute, different job, but a different outlook.

I for the last few months have been focused on the exercise of course but mostly focus on the food. I cut WAY back on soda, sugar, and fast food and sway more towards water, lean protein, fruits, and veggies. Working a desk job I clearly don't move much throughout the day so I make sure to take the stairs and walk when I have a free minute and tend to concentrate on step count on the day to day (of course I still try to hit the gym a few times a weeks also). Between the conscious effort on eating better and moving I can already see a difference and so can others. It amazing that a little goes a long way. 

Anyways on the subject of active wear, this set is from Ellie the subscription box service y'all have heard me talk about several times. I love the sets they send each month and how cute the pieces are, it's motivation to get your butt in gear! Make sure to check them out!

I would love to hear your fitness journey! Comment below! :)

Curvy Girl Campaign #MarikaCurves

Marika Clothing recently approached me about their new curvy girl campaign and I couldn't be more excited for this opportunity! I'm a curvier girl but still very into health and fitness! I love that the brand is focusing more on real, curvy women! How inspiring is that?! Over the last 4 months I have been focusing more on my health and wellness really trying to focus on a healthier lifestyle. I have been hitting the gym 3-4 times a week and being more cautious of what I'm eating, guys it really makes a difference! I've lost almost 10 lbs and just keep feeling better about myself! For all these reasons and more I couldn't be more exited to team up with Marika for the curvy girl campaign! I hope to inspire other young women to love their bodies, whatever their shape and size!
