From couch to fabulously Fit

Welcome to the first day of the "From Couch to Fabulously Fit" series! These are my favorite motivating tips, compiled into several short and sweet posts. These are the tips that got me motivated to get off the couch and got me into a bikini after losing 50 lbs!

TIP #1:
Get a gym bag filled with all your hygeine goods ready to go at all times!  To enjoy the process, make it a cute bag. Remember the key to fitness is to enjoy the ride. So enjoy the process of picking out your gym bags and filling them up with goods that you'll look foward to using at the gym. like delicious smelling shampoo! 



I picked up these bags for $17 at JcPenney's. These aren't prints I would go out of my way to buy, but I couldn't beat the price and convenience.

I filled my bag with my everyday hygiene products, like Cetaphil face wash, my venus razor and my Dove soap. To save money I threw in a couple of my hotel shampoo's and conditioners. which worked out perfect when my girlfriend needed to borrow some at the gym and I had multiple!


This is another bag I found that I thought was cheap and cute!
I didn't buy it but I thought I'd share it:) If you like it, ask me where I found it!

Mommy/Daughter Dress up!

Evi and I were completely inspired by a new book I bought called "What I Wore".We decided to dive into our closets and create new outfits with clothes we already had. We just wanted to feel fabulous! I think we succeeded!
