product review + giveaway: albion fit …

February 26, 2013

I was contacted by albion fit to do a review and giveaway of one of their products on the blog.  I was excited when they asked me to do this because I was actually in the market for some new workout clothes, mainly workout bottoms, so I was excited to try out the optimum capri’s.

I’ve been able to wear these during my workouts, and even around the house a bit, and my first impression was that I was very impressed with the overall quality.  You can tell just by the feel of the fabric that it is really good quality.  I love the compression fabric that keeps everything where it should be while you’re working out, and the extra wide waistband is nice and comfortable!

Albion also has a great selection not only of women’s fitness wear, but also women’s swim wear that you can check out on their site!  I was also excited to see that they are a local company, and will be opening a store in March at City Creek in downtown SLC!

I am excited that albion fit wants to offer one of my lucky readers a pair of these amazing exercise capris!

For a chance to win, all you have to do is visit the Albion facebook page, and like their page, then visit their shop, and leave a comment here to tell me that you liked their Facebook page, and what is your favorite item from their site!

You have until Sunday, March 3, 2013 at midnight to enter.  The winner will be chosen on March 4th!

You also can take $15 off any Albionfit.com purchase of $50 or more with the code armelle15 at checkout.  (Expires 3/3/2013)

Good Luck!

DIY // construction site kids activity tray

February 23, 2013

This winter is proving to be a long one, and while we would like to be hanging out at the park in the sunshine, and playing in the sand, well the sand is currently covered in snow.  
We’ve been trying to be creative to keep ourselves entertained over at our house, so we decided to pull out the activity tray we made.
We filled it with a few of our favorite construction site toys.  And, it has kept my kids entertained for hours and hours.  (Totally worth the quick vacuum clean up at the end!)
For the full tutorial and step by step instructions on how to make your own construction site activity tray, head on over to my latest post over on Hellobee.
