No nonsense leggings and tights

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of No nonsense. All opinions are 100% mine. No nonsense tights and leggings can be found at food and drug stores as well as mass retail stores.

I'm not sure how it's been elsewhere but given our weird winter last year, and our ueber-hot summer, I think the weather gods are taking back control of the weather. Which means i've had to bust out the leggings and tights much sooner than originally planned.

I'm not sure if leggings are on their way out but I still love them and I think they look so much better than a pair of adidas track pants, no?

I have to say i was ueber-surprised when I opened the box and found a pair of cord leggings. I guess I was expecting something a lot duller! Given the surprise I had, I struggled a bit styling them but I'm overall happy with this look. I definitely need to invest in a few more longer sweaters and tunics!

I requested these in a large, but a) they were a bit long and b) they were a bit loose. Not sure if the medium would have fit perfectly but I guess the extra length doesn’t matter much since they can be easily hidden in the boots. Either way..they were super comfortable!


The tights were easier to work with as they were a very tame fishnet. Awesome!  Since I work in a pretty casual work office, I paired these with a work appropriate outfit, can't even tell they are fishnet can you?! --> These were well made and I got them on snag-free! I usually bust a hole in them. The waist band was also comfortable and stayed put!

--> Another fun outfit I would pair them with for a night out or on a Saturday to run errands with, in boots of course! (ok so the tights aren't exactly the same but I hope you get gist.. ;)

How do you like to wear fishnets?

KlutchClub Review

Disclaimer: This box was provided to me at a discount. The opinions are clearly my own.

It's been a while since I've spilled my Birchbox swag but I absolutely love the idea of a monthly subscription gift boxes. I think it brings me back to my Babysitter Club book days.

Back in July, the fine social media lady at KlutchClub asked if i would be interested in sampling a Klutch Box and I would only be responsible for paying shipping, so... why not?!  The Klutch Box is a $20 a month subscription that brings $50+ worth of tasty snacks, new workouts and holistic body care regime products to your door. The price is by no means unreasonable considering how much you receive, but for my paltry salary, it's not an added monthly expense I can afford without cutting something else out.

I was prompted to head to their website and check out the box for July. This is a huge perk because you can decide if you want the box sent to you or if you are going to skip. July's box was weird, as in I had to kindly decline because there was just no way I could write a favorable review about it.

I did ask if I could possibly review it for the next month, and although hesitant about it at first, she did eventually come around.

August's Box:

Go Nola, Popcorners, Japan Gold Seaweed Salad, Go Sport ID, Twistband, Biopharmasci, iBodyFit, Alo, Tieks.

I was so excited to try the Seaweed Salad...i LOVE that stuff and have been beyond thrilled that Costco now carries a huge tub of it which is why I haven't tried this on the go packet.

I was also super excited to purchase some Tieks with the gift card, but yeah... it would barely put a dent in the cost of it.

Overall, I was pretty happy with it. One thing I didn't like was that I had to unsubscribe immediately or else I would have gotten the box monthly. That portion on the website was a bit misleading but besides that August's box was pretty sweet. The great thing about these subscription boxes is that you get to try out new things without a huge investment on your end.

The perfect gift for the health nut in your life that has everything! I've been gifting subscription boxes left and right, so tell me...which is your favorite subscription?

seriously..where did I last leave off?!

oh yeah, I had just come back from an amazing vacation in Maine visiting, celebrating a good friends wedding.

I was reeling from the disappointment of not getting a huge promotion, which now on the flip side. I've never been this relaxed in this job so that's sorta nice.

I was gearing up to work for the American Cancer Society as a running coach but had to ultimately decide that right now is not the right time.

I am 9 days out from my first Marathon and there is no rest in sight! longest run, 20 or 21 miles.

and what's really been keeping me busy.....

ARGH!!!!!! I'M ENGAGED!!!! AND WEDDING PLANNING!!!!!

i hope that explains my absence...I'm one obsessed bride-to-be!

disappointment

i'm coming off of a crazy two weeks, last week was spent in vacation bliss, sorta - more to come, and the previous week was knee deep in interviews and preparations for vacation.

vacation was overall amazing, more exciting details to come on that, but I was always a bit preoccupied with the job. i rearranged my schedule to make a time available for a final skype interview and when the answer came yesterday that i did not receive the job, i was super crushed.

i don' even know what to say. i've been working towards this position for at least a year now. i feel a bit unclear of what to do, should i do anything at all.. i feel like I'm going through the 7 stages of grief.

i'm trying to remain positive, i have so many opportunities knocking on my door with Train with Purpose, and honestly, I feel like some weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I've been working extra hard since April in preparation for this job, going well above and beyond of what was expected of me that I've let a lot of personal things fall to the wayside. This decision has made it clear that I need to focus on me and my needs again.

i have no clue where this saying/acronym came from but it's so ridiculous i can't but help to yell it out sporadically. or maybe because it rhymes with rolo....

life's been good, busy, ya know, living... blogging has been taking a bit of backseat to all the other stuff i've been doing like...

     1. Pinning

     2. Running... I'm close to hitting 30 weekly miles and I ran Escape to Belle Isle which deserves it's own post

      3. Being fearless! I spent the weekend at a girl friends cottage, and participated in water sports.. from someone that is not only afraid of lake life but anything that might hurt her is huge! and how about a video of me attempting to water ski.

That's what I've been up to... how about you?
