High-Waisted Leggings that Give Me Life at the Gym

We are now pretty far into February, and if’ you’re like me, the new year brings about new health and fitness goals. While I can’t say I love walking to the gym in below-zero temperatures or blizzards, I can say that my love for high-waisted leggings has made it a little easier to make that trip the gym.

A New Year, A New Fitness Routine

Life has been crazy hectic and when I’m stressed, I don’t work out, which doesn’t make sense because working out makes me feel so much better when I’m stressed. Anyway, nothing motivates me more than having cute work out clothes and the right equipment! A fun sports bra for those hot and humid runs outside. Nothing better than some fresh lemon in my water, helps me keep hydrated throughout the day, so this water bottle is perfect. Teal...
