Tuesday Tidbits | 4.8.14

April 8, 2014 by Hillary 15 Comments

Here we go… Tuesday Tidbits, Round 12.

1. A huge shipment from Pressed Juicery is in route to my door, so feel free to stop by during happy hour this week for a kale cocktail.

2. If you haven’t already, enter to win my $50 Albion Fit Giveaway! Albion has all the goods to brighten up your spring workout wardrobe.

3. Did you hear that I ran 8.5 miles on Saturday!? I still can’t believe it. I think it has been close to a year and half since I’ve ran said distance. Although I’ve surpassed one of my April Intentions, I do hope to accomplish one to two more long runs this month.

4. With plans of increased running, I am in the market for a new pair of sneaks. Anyone have any input on the Mizuno Wave Rider 17?

5. Bad news… my cold cereal for dinner habit has struck again. As a Love Blogger, problems like this exist when you get a  “love drop” of Power O’s, Love Grown Food’s newest product (which, by the way, gets two thumbs up).

6. My journey to become a certified holistic health coach is zooming by. The pace of my work load is picking up slightly, but I feel more inspired by IIN’s program with each new module that I open.

7. I get excited when P tells me he bought kombucha at Whole Foods. (It’s the little things.) If you haven’t caught onto the kombucha craze, read up >> Probiotics 101.

8. Spring has officially sprung… meaning I need to make mint iced coffee and eat strawberry salads on the regular.

9. I recently made a pot of coconut curry carrot soup with carrots from my company’s estate garden. Six ingredients. Devoured it.

10. Other recipes in my kitchen as of late >> coconut cashew crunch granola // apricot oat bars // raw broccoli salad // superfood pesto // 3-minute banana peanut butter oatmeal.

Albion Fit $50 GIVEAWAY

Good morning and happy Monday. I’ve got a treat to begin the week — a $50 giveaway to Albion Fit!

I worked with Albion twice last year, reviewing a couple of their activewear tops. I wear the Love Racer Tank and Go Long Crew regularly. The comfort and quality that Albion delivers is really something special.

I was recently sent the Sweet Stripe Full Zip in Aqua/Grey.

Its soft stretch, sleek shape and superb performance features make our Sweet Stripe Full Zip a bestseller. With extra length for a long and lean fit, ample pockets roomy enough to store all of your essentials, and the added bonuses of contrast trim, a ruffled zipper, and striped thumb-holes, the Sweet Stripe Full Zip Jacket will have you slimmed, stocked and stylish to boot. Nylon/Spandex blend.

As the description reveals, its long length and thumb-holes with the details of the ruching and contrast trim make it an easy seller. While I wanted to fall in the love with this jacket – as it meets my fit fashionista standards – it did not flatter my body type as I had hoped.

The jacket is very sleek, showing off every womanly curve. I feel as though I’d barely be able to fit a camp underneath, despite it being the correct size. I think this would be adorable on a more delicate body frame. That said, I still stand behind Albion’s devotion to leisure apparel that is comfortable, cute and, most importantly, durable.

Albion Fit {Go Long Crew} GIVEAWAY

November 18, 2013 by Hillary 123 Comments

Who loves comfy, quality active wear? I do, I do!

Albion Fit has stylish and comfortable tops and bottoms for women on the go. The Love Racer tank they sent me last spring is a favorite in my regular wardrobe of workout attire.

Albion recently gifted me the Go Long Crew in fuchsia. It is their top selling item, and I can certainly see why.

This top is extremely soft – featuring a silky and lightweight spandex material blend – and is fashionably long in length for everyday layering or lounging.

I am always a fan of thumb holes, too. It comes in a variety of colors, so you can sport this versatile tee for various occasions throughout the week.

1. My heart is heavy and my head confused. I don’t understand yesterday’s tragic event; it’s difficult to grasp the reality that one of the grandest athletic events in the world was halted in a fatal catastrophe. Rather than point fingers of disgust, I’d rather acknowledge the heroes and heroines in yesterday’s wake. Love >> Boston.

2. Tomorrow marks my one year anniversary at my first “big girl” job. Time flies and life.is.good.

3. I devoured the entire batch of almond meal banana coconut muffins in eight consecutive days. As soon as I find myself with a few ferociously sweet, ripe bananas, I am whipping up another batch.

4. Have you checked out my Albion Fit GIVEAWAY!? A Love Racer Tank in spring-y sea foam could be yours! {& BTW, the post had been updated to include a $15 off discount code}

5. With Boston laying heavy on my heart, Aubrey’s announcement restored missing love and joy — so happy for her!!

6. I am hooked on thick, creamy, coconut-y, vibrant green smoothies. Recipe to follow.

7. Encouragement and improvement — two wonderful things that I have experienced at the box recently, despite an injured knee.

8. Strawberry season is here — hooray! I have welcomed them to crash my salads and even gave them a swim in melted {Easter bunny} dark chocolate.

9. I am more than ready for a mother-daughter weekend to ensue come Friday at five. I know Mom won’t let me get away without sunscreen this weekend. Spring is in full swing!

10. How incredibly awesome is my old gym with this iPad above the scale? I miss it… and intense HIIT treadmill workouts.

Have a great rest of your week :)

Albion Fit | GIVEAWAY

Hiking is one of my favorite things to do for an active rest day. After a very filling brunch with the boy, we packed snacks (which weren’t needed), our shades, and sunscreen (which wasn’t used), and found a gem of a hiking ground 30 miles down the road. Table Mountain Ecological Reserve was a picture I didn’t expect — lush green grass, grazing cows, happy picnic-goers, soaring kites, blooming wildflowers, trickling streams, and incredible views. I felt as if I was strolling through a meadow in Northern Europe. It couldn’t be that we were this close to home!

Albion

It was a lovely spring Sunday – 75F with a slight breeze – ideal for trying out my new Albion Fit top. The Love Racer tank is top notch — I love the long length, ruching on the sides (since it’s very fitted), slimming flat seams, and the sea foam color is bright and cheery to match the spring season. The fabric of the tank is soft and thick, but breathable for a variety of activities. 

A feminine and multi-purpose top, the Love Racer is long and fitted and stays put, perfect for high or low impact sports. Featuring a built in sports bra with removable cups, this top provides support and comfort, while contrast flat seams prevent chaffing as they accentuate a long, lean look. And for an extra touch of femininity, we added ruching detail at the sides. Nylon/Spandex. 

Albion’s mission is to provide women with the most luxurious, flattering, and hassle-free fitness and leisure apparel on the market. I’d certainly say they managed just that with the Love Racer, and I’ve only heard great things about the rest of their fitness and swimwear line. 

– GIVEAWAY –

Albion Fit will send one reader a Love Racer tank in the size of their choice.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
