Aerie Rollover Pant $29 - American Eagle

Aerie F.i.t. Workout Tank $29 - American Eagle

Aerie F.i.t. Performance Tank $29 - American Eagle

As of two weekends ago, I pretty much work out in Aerie (this is a great brand from the brainchild of American Eagle) only! I love that it's fashionable and if you live in Long Island and are near Roosevelt Field Mall, you should pop in as there is an entire store that just has Aerie in it (can I say I love the swimwear and coverups too)! I got hooked when I was with a friend in Chicago and saw that they had great discounts and the pieces were super comfortable! From then on, I have been going into the store buying more pieces that are perfect for yoga, pilates or just hitting the machines. Take a look at what they have to offer and see what you'll find yourself in. If you need a quick bathing suit, think about them as well! As always, the links above in the spread are clickable!

Trendy Thursdays: How Do You Glow?

KittenCouture — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 05:00:00 -0700

We've all hit the gym, been out in the sun or had a night out at the bars. All of these produce some kind of a glow that makes you look like your full of life; however, how about something that not only creates the glow, but is also easily obtained and good for your body? Glowelle, is a dietary supplement (from Nestle gasp)that you can ingest in your water or favorite juice so that you have that glow and plenty of antioxidants which are essential! I took the 30 day challenge and am currently still in it! My 30 day pack is in a cute box and is Raspberry/Jasmine (also comes in Pomegranate/Lychee) flavored. I found that pairing this with one of the larger SmartWater bottles was perfect as there is a lot of powder within each pouch (some people also split the packet if they feel it is too much). If you feel that you taste too much of the vitamin or flavor, consider putting this in with apple juice, cranberry, etc.

Whether you get the 30 day pack or you try out the 7 day pack, you'll find that drinking this assists in protecting the skin from the sun rays (not to say that you shouldn't have your SPF handy; however, it does reduce it. You'll replenish your antioxidants and also you'll have an even skin tone which gives it that healthy glow and lets you know that you're giving off your best look! I love that you can enjoy this in a pre-made or you can grab your favorite water and put it in n the go. Each sip is packed various vitamins which ensures you're getting your daily intake while also being very convenient! For those who are ready to jump in with Glowelle, you can enjoy the 30 day pack for $112 which comes out to taking vitamins for under $4 dollars a day! That's basically deciding that you'll have one less latte a day to put back into your health! Since when has caffeine given you a healthy glow that make up couldn't do for you naturally? I will continue to let you know about Glowelle as I continue to take more of the packets.

I also want you to know that we will have a series about fitness for your body and also beauty regimine that you guys will want to tune into as well! Make sure to read here and on Kitten Lounge's Fan Page on Facebook to find out about exclusive giveaways!

Treasure Tuesdays: Hit the Gym With Flair

Maharadsha Black Water Bottle by Sigg $24 - Smallflower

Spira - Paseo (Graphite/Orange/Silvermet) $164 - Zappos

Spibrand $19.95 - Spibelt

Wide-leg yoga pant $35 - Victoria's Secret

Tadasana Tote $129 - Athleta

On average, I hit the gym 3 – 4 days a week at about an hour and a half to two hours! It’s generally later in the evening so I can watch my guilty pleasures (reality tv) while letting off some steam at whatever NYSC that I happen to be close to at the moment. Just like I pick what I wear when I’m out and about, I’m all about comfort and style for the gym as well. I have quite a few outfits and interestingly enough, I tend to dress in yoga style whether I’m doing pilates or are on machines! Today is a great assortment of items that are perfect for the gym. My favorite piece, Spibelt’s Spiband which allows me to hold my iPod and my keys within the little case (I can even get my lipgloss in here) and it fits on my arm. They also have one for the waist as well so click on the link above to find out more! I also believe in a good bag and this one, by Athleta, is perfect for me to bring all my necessities while having a separate place for my mat. A water bottle is a must and as much as possible, I believe that having something that you can use again is better than a disposable one – so check out Smallflower as they have quite an extensive collection. When it comes to shoes there are so many options but I love that these sneakers pick up the flair of the overall outfit that is available at Victoria’s Secret (one of my favorite places as well). Whatever you do keep it functional, comfortable and add your own personal style!
