Favorite sampling yet!

This month, I got selected to sample old navy activewear--a huge bonus as I had just completed the dress sample last month!! This one was my favorite yet! I was super stoked to be selected for this one-I am currently 5 1/2 months pregnant with my fourth (!!) baby boy. prior to becoming pregnant, I lost 40 lbs due to a change in diet (mostly dropping/decreasing soda intake and making smarter choices at meal time) and occasional bike rides with my darling hubby. Due to the weight lost, I just started showing this pregnancy late last month (my previous 3 you could tell in month 2!!). My mom has lost over 100 (!!!) lbs by healthier eating and a crazy amount of exercise--she goes hiking almost every sunday (some local trials and, yes, mountain trials as well) with her husband (who is an avid runner) among other activities. So when my notification for this sample came in my email, I called up my mom right away! We couldn't wait to get cute workout wear to help us look awesome on our healthier lifestyle journeys! We went to Old navy in blackstone valley on a crazy shopping day--the day before christmas eve. we were so impressed by all the choices we had to pick from. They had yoga pants, capris, compression pants, super compression pants, shirts, jackets, jackets with fleece, so many different choices!! We each picked out a couple different styles to try on (hers in mostly blue hues, mine in purple!) and headed for the fitting rooms.

Showing off our final choices!

After trying on every item, we picked out an outfit each. and I must say--we look STYLING! :) Who knew work out clothes could be so cute?? They are literally the most comfortable work out clothes I've ever owned or even tried on. I've been constantly wearing them around the house, and I can't wait to put them to the real test this spring. A HUGE thank you to Old Navy and Crowdtap for selecting me for this sample!!!

New Fall old navy dresses!!

Last month, I received the chance to review another old navy product--their new fall line of dresses!! I had seen the commercials for the dresses, so I was super stoked to be able to do this one. My mom and I headed the the store a few days before thanksgiving. The place was packed, as they were doing a buy one get half off EVERYTHING in the store sale!! It took us 20 minutes to find a place to park since it seems Christmas shopping started early!! There were even crossing guards directing traffic once you hit the blackstone valley plaza!! My mom and I had a really hard time deciding which dress we wanted--we each tried on at least 5!! I loved each one I tried, but finally decided on the pink and brown striped V neck sweater dress. Although a bring yellow striped one ALMOST won out :) Because of the sale, I went on a hunt for some leggings to go with the dress. A very friendly and helpful sales girl helped me locate them in my size and color--and of course, I had to buy two!!! The end result: I LOVE old navy dresses!! They are so comfy, and I looked great on thanksgiving! And priced at just under $30, they are a great deal! I highly recommend them. You can check out the other styles and colors here!
