We’ve all been there: you book a stunning glamping getaway expecting pure luxury, only to realize the "luxury" stops at the tent canvas.

My favorite activewear pieces for all types of workouts. I’ve worn these pieces 100+ times and love them dearly. Go from lounging to the gym and more with these favorite picks of mine.
I’ve been lifting for almost a decade and I have seen so many trends come and go. In here I will show you my timeless picks and also the ones for the ocasional “a la mode” 😁 I prioritize comfort, practicality, and affordability. Some items are an investment and trust me they are a good one (especially shoes). For others such as clothing, I prefer to go for dups that are affordable, comfortable, and cute because c’mon what girl doesn’t wanna look cute at the gym?
My preference for affordable picks for clothing comes from the fact that styles change often and you can soon be bored of the clothes or you need more clothes due to laundry schedules etc, so affordability will allow you to get multiple pairs for the price of one expensive brand name.
Shoes on the other hand - I have had my black metcons for 5 years and they are still kicking, and still in style - definitely worth every penny. The same goes for my white converse and my other lifting shoes.
Look around and take your pick. I own every single item on this list myself btw 💁🏻♀️

If you’ve lived or visited NY you’ll know how unreliable the subway system can be. I prefer to be able to travel on my own schedule and it’s honestly pretty easy with all the new bike lanes but it can be scary at first. Unfortunately there’s so standard and the market is flooded with cheap products that barely work which I’ve had used before. I know there’s a lot of fear around electric vehicles and fires but they’re mostly caused by cheap 3rd party batteries and mishandling of the personal electric vehicles (PEVs). I’ve had multiple in my room for years and there has never been a problem other than the standard maintenance of the PEVs. Gotta remember all the ones I’ve tested so I’ll be adding to this list.
