Happy Hour

I’m looking for a new juicer…what one do you have?

Heather has this one and likes it but doesn’t use it everyday so doesn’t mind having to clean all of the parts once in a while! I am sure there are nicer ones but this one works for how often I use it!

Alix has this one and it does the job when I’m making celery juice or other blends. I don’t use it more than a few times a month, so like Heather said I don’t mind the clean up. It’s not a cold press (or slow) juicer which are amazing but $$$.

Alix- how many rest days do you give yourself per week?

On a perfect week I workout 6 days and take one complete recovery day. Of those 6 days I really mix it up and sometimes my workout might be a long walk or yoga. Sometimes I’ll do a gentle yoga class or light walk on my recovery day and stretch/foam roll. I try my best to listen to my body and if I’m sore or low energy I’ll adjust my workout to meet where my body is at. I’m done pushing myself to do harder and longer workouts these days because I know it’s counterproductive and has negative side effects.

I need new black leggings for fall to wear with sweaters and flannels…can you link your favorites?

We both tend to wear our workout leggings with sweaters and flannels and our favorite are the Aligns. But if you aren’t wearing workout pants, the Spanx leggings are our favorite and they add a little flare to your outfit. Athleta also carries a really versatile high waisted black legging that we could live in!

I want new slippers for Fall now that the weather is starting to turn in! Can you link some cozy ones?

We both love our EMU Australia slippers and have worn them to death! Actually planning on ordering another pair soon. Love these animal print ones! My girlfriend just ordered these Uggs in hot pink and I am SO tempted. Heather ordered these in grey and might have worn them to pick up takeout one night because the hard bottom could pass for shoes?! haha!

I remember you talking about your favorite lash serum to grow your lashes. Can you link? Wasn’t there a brow version too and do you use it?

I (Heather) have tried Latisse, Neulash and Revitalash and hands down my favorite is Revitalash. One – you don’t need a prescription for it like Latisse and you don’t have to get it from a medical spa like Latisse. Latisse can also darken your lash line #nothanks. Neulash probably works for some but I never saw the results. Revitalash is legit INSANE if you use it properly. I apply it morning and night to my top lash line (you could probably use on bottom but I don’t) and my lashes have never been healthier or longer. At our family wedding last weekend the gal who did my makeup instantly commented on my lashes and asked how I got them so long and gave her the exact response as I just mentioned above 🙂

As far as the brow serum, I think this one is a little bit of a gimmick. A brow serum is not going to work if you have plucked the hair from the follicle. If you want your current brow hair to grow longer, the serum will work wonders! But, who wants that?! ha! So the brow serums are all a hard pass for me and if you want fuller looking brows, either pencil them in or get microblading done.

Have you tried the Daily Harvest bowls and if so, what are your favorites?

Yes! Heather has and they are SO good, quick, easy and nutritious. I have tried a bunch and my favorite are the Lemon+Artichoke, Cauliflower Rice+Pesto, Brussel Sprouts+Tahini, and Brussel Sprouts+Lime Pad Thai. YUM! I sometimes add leftover protein from the night before for extra nutrients to keep me full.

I need a new PM eye cream…any recs??
Eye creams we love:

What fall pieces will you be investing in as we head into colder months?

I think everyone needs at least one of the following staple pieces as we head into fall: a sweater dress, coatigan, leather jacket, a trench, and a classic long sleeve tee. These are my picks:
