Friday Favorites: Fashion, food and a giveaway

June 5, 2015 By Ashley 229 Comments

Happy Friday, folks! I’m so looking forward to the weekend. This week seemed particularly long to me and maybe that’s because I kept wishing I was still in Florida with my family for an extended Memorial Day. 

This morning, I’m teaching a BODYATTACK class, doing some work and hanging out with Dave in the evening. Tomorrow morning, I’m teaching two classes at Orangetheory Fitness, and we don’t have much on the agenda after that, but I’m sure we’ll go out to dinner for our usual Saturday night outing. On Sunday, I’m excited to be attending an NBA Finals game to watch the Golden State Warriors play at home. Of course, Dave will be there as well, but he’ll be wearing a suit and working, and I’ll be wearing a bright yellow t-shirt and sitting in the nose-bleed seats with a friend. Can’t wait!

This week’s Friday Favorites

But now, it’s time for my recent favorites, and there’s a giveaway in here, so don’t miss it!

My favorite new bag and jacket

Leave it to Dave to give me the best gifts. I’m styling and profiling in my new jacket and bag, which he gave to me last week as a late anniversary gift. Yes, it’s branded gear!

Ashley in A Lady Goes West gearA trendy collared zip-up and a big black tote bag with a ton of pockets and handles make me one happy gal.

First of all, I was in need of a new gym bag and always need new hoodies to wear to the gym and out-and-about, and he chose well with the style and the added logo. I don’t always talk about the fact that I have a blog to my class members and people at the gym (although they seem to find out on their own quite frequently!), so it’s kind of nice to show it off on my sleeve and bag from here on out. Love it all so much!

My favorite new sports bra and a giveaway

This week, I had the lovely opportunity to visit a Title Line retail location in downtown Walnut Creek and get introduced to the store, its products, as well as get fitted for and take home a shiny new sports bra. Title Nine is a women’s activewear company, which has been around for about 25 years, and the name was inspired by the federal law in the U.S., which gives women equal access to sports in schools (among other things).

Inside of Title Nine retail storeTitle Nine has a great selection of activewear and bras for all sorts of occasions, and the Walnut Creek store is so bright and welcoming.

I hadn’t heard of the company before and loved perusing the colorful items for sale, as well as chatting with the nice associates, one of whom was called a “Bravangelist” for her work helping women find the perfect fitting sports bra for their lifestyles. Title Nine not only sells its own “beautility” (cool word combining beauty and utility, right?) apparel, but also branded apparel from companies they admire, like Prana, Moving Comfort and more.

Moving Comfort bra from Title NineShown above is the “barbell” rating, which Title Nine gives its bras based on their support-level. And my sports bra selection, this Form First bra by Moving Comfort, in red and black with an adjustable back. Those colors? Why they are BODYPUMP colors of course! 

The bra experts at Title Nine want to help more women find the perfect fitting bra, and they are hosting “FitFest” events at their 23 retail locations across the U.S.. You can head to the website to find out if there is a FitFest near you. I think this is a great concept, because after getting fitted for my sports bra, I learned that you should always buy bras on the tighter side, because sports bras and regular bras will always stretch out a bit. Who knew? Oh and can you believe that apparently 80 percent of women are currently wearing the wrong size sports bra? The humanity!

GIVEAWAY ALERT!!

The lovely ladies at Title Nine have offered a free sports bra and personalized fitting to one A Lady Goes West reader. If you live within driving distance of a Title Nine retail location, you’ll be able to head into one for a bra-fitting appointment. If you don’t live near one, you can order a free bra of your choice over the phone. This is open to people in the U.S. only. To enter, simply leave a comment on this post (and there are ways for additional entries as well, detailed below). I will choose a winner on Monday night. And fellas, you can enter too, if you’d like to pass along your spoils to a lady in your life.

My favorite new food product

Switching gears from fashion to food — More veggies in every smoothie without overfilling my NutriBullet? Yes, please. I was very intrigued when the folks at PINES International, reached out to me about trying their products, which are powders and tablets containing nutritious vitamins and minerals found in vegetables. They sent me a little bottle of PINES Wheat Grass to get started, which I’ve added to my smoothies all week. Just one little teaspoon of this powder contains the same amount of nutrients as a helping of deep-green, rich leafy vegetables in just 10 calories. While I haven’t tried the powder alone in water, I can tell you that it barely adds a taste to smoothies, so it’s like sneaking in extra nutrients.

PINES Wheat GrassHere’s a look at the PINES Wheat Grass Powder and a recent green smoothie bowl I added it to for breakfast. Don’t be scared of the green!

I love the company’s motto — “Keep it Simple. Keep it Clean. Keep it Green.,” and I also like that PINES is so focused on helping people be healthy with cost-efficient products. All of the powders are gluten free, raw, non-GMO, USDA certified organic and sealed with the oxygen removed to give them a long shelf-life, and one 3.5 ounce bottle goes for less than $15 for nearly 30 servings. 

I’d say the best part about using a wheat grass powder is that you can bring it with you when traveling to get in some extra greens on-the-go by adding it to your water, smoothies or food. If you’re interested, you can buy PINES products at thousands of health food stores across the U.S. and in 20 other countries — just find a retail location near you by visiting this store locator. Thanks PINES for introducing me to wheat grass.

    Something that’s making me smile is that my hubby and I just found out we’re pregnant 🙂 Lets just say there’s been a permanent grin on my face all week.

    This weekend we’re taking a little road trip to visit my in-laws and once there I have a feeling it’ll be a relaxing weekend which is exactly what I need.

    TGIF and enjoy your weekend 🙂

    I have always wanted blog branded gear! What a thoughtful present from Dave. That sports bra looks amazing. You know what it’s like to need something that will keep everything supported for long days at the gym. I have really been looking for a good new bra brand that I can redo my collection with. Big thanks to everyone involved in the giveaway! Hope you have a great weekend and enjoy your time at the game!

    I’ve heard such great things about Title Nine (and love the name!!) but haven’t been able to check it out yet. Good sports bras are so hard to find sometimes! As a well-endowed lady (haha!) I found myself wearing 2 sports bras for high impact workouts (BodyAttack, etc.) way too often! I love the VS bras, but would love to try a new one as I’m always on the lookout for a new one that will hold the girls in place during a workout and not knock me out 😉 Thanks for the awesome giveaway! Have a great weekend! 🙂

The latest on Instagram

I've got to be honest, I'm much more of a writer t I've got to be honest, I'm much more of a writer than an Instagrammer and many times I feel like what I want to share doesn't fit well into a grid. But I'm able to bring much more long-form content to my blog each week. Speaking of that, this week, I debuted a new series called "A Lady Goes West Advice Corner" which has been something I've wanted to put together for a while. In this series, I'm taking totally anonymous questions from YOU and giving you some neutral third-party advice on it all. Here are the questions I addressed in the first advice corner edition:
.
-“I became a first-time mom last spring and am currently dealing with all things motherhood. How do I deal with my expectations vs. reality of being a mom?" (such a good one, and I've been there)
-“How do you deal with days when you don't love your body? I think we can all relate to looking in the mirror and being disappointed with what we see?" (this happens to us all)
-“How do you deal with comparing yourself to others on social media and not feeling like everyone is doing things better than you?" (spoiler alert: everyone has their issues that you don't see)
.
The answers are long, they come from my heart, and I hope they can provide some value to you! If this is something you're interested in, head over to A Lady Goes West today to check it out, and you can submit a question for the next edition.

HOME! We closed on and moved into our home in Char HOME! We closed on and moved into our home in Charlotte over the weekend, and we're so excited to get settled in our new neighborhood, city and state after many weeks of transition. In honor of this momentous occasion, I thought it would be fun to look back at the places Dave and I have lived together over the last 12 years. Here's what it has looked like -- and each place has been special for different reasons:
.
-2009-2012 in a high-rise condo in downtown Orlando, where we lived when we got married.
-2012-2013 in a one-bedroom apartment in South of Market in San Francisco, which was always freezing no matter the time of day or year.
-2013-2014 in a tiny studio apartment in Nob Hill in San Francisco, which was only 550-square-feet, but we could hear the cable cars out of our always-open windows, so that was cool.
-2014-2017 in a two-bedroom townhouse in Walnut Creek, where we brought home both Rudy and Brady and had many sleepless nights.
-2017-2021 in a house that we owned in Pleasant Hill outside of San Francisco, which was across the street from a Starbucks so we went there way too often.
.
And now we're here in Charlotte. It's good to be home! I'd love to know: Where do you call home?
Soulmates. ❤️ Whether you’re loving on other Soulmates. ❤️ Whether you’re loving on others or just yourself today, my little crew is wishing you a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
Good additions! Even though I'm all about simplify Good additions! Even though I'm all about simplifying life, I also like adding more good, if there's room for it. And the last year has given me ample opportunity to make some changes and add a lot of good. Here's my super-random list of things I've added to my life in the last year that I now love:
.
-Using oat milk as my milk of choice (it's literally the creamiest, and I can’t go back to others now)
-Choosing to be outside as much as possible (can't believe I stayed indoors so much before, never exploring the beautiful Bay Area and now Charlotte until the last year)
-Teaching and taking virtual fitness classes (I was a gym rat for years, and now I actually love to work out at home with my virtual fitness friends)
-Wearing my Apple watch for notifications so I don't always need to be on my phone and tracking some beneficial metrics (I've only had my watch for about 9 months, and I love to check my heart-rate and close my rings)
-Appreciating the ability to work for myself and giving myself friendlier deadlines (I've been my own boss for several years and used to be so strict with my deadlines, until I realized it was stressing me more than it needed to, so now I say no to a lot of things and only do what works well in my life, without adding too much unnecessary stress)
-Shorter workouts (full-hour workouts are a thing of the past for me)
-Wearing more colors (no more black uniforms every day)
-And more!
.
I wrote a whole post about this topic on A Lady Goes West this week if this is of interest to you, and you can head on over and check it out. I'd love to know: What's something (random or not) that you've added to your life in the last year that you now love?
Over the weekend, I stepped foot into a big-box gy Over the weekend, I stepped foot into a big-box gym for the first time in more than 11 months. How did I feel about it? Mixed ... When we left California, gyms were still closed, and once we got to North Carolina, I was so used to not going to the gym, I didn't even think about going. After being here a month, I finally decided to get a guest pass at a gym near me, and I went twice. Here are my thoughts on the experience: 
.
At first, I felt so excited to drive up and go in and work out in a big space with a lot of equipment and not be at home. But then reality sank in: Even though masks were required and there were signs everywhere reminding people, about half the folks in the gym had their masks off or had them down around their chin. Ummm, not cool. I get it, working out with a mask on sucks, but rules are rules, folks. I also didn't like that it was busier than I expected, and quite a bit of the equipment I wanted to use was occupied. That never happens at home.
.
Overall, I'm glad that those who need to get to the gym are getting the opportunity, but right now, I think I'll go back to sweating safely at home for a little while longer. But at least I got my first locker-room selfie in almost a year. I'd love to know. Have you been back to the gym yet?
