Best of the Week

I'm a little late for last week's Best of the Week but better late than never!

It's final exams time so sometimes writing a paper is a little more pressing than writing a blog post (unfortunately)

Here are my favorite items from last week that I bought or was sent:

This week's items range from health/fitness to cosmetics. I'm excited to introduce you guys to a few awesome brands that you may have not heard of before

1. Tone It Up Protein

So I absolutely hate the taste and consistency of protein. If you feel the same way, this is the protein for you. Tone It Up is an online fitness community started by two women from Cali. I've been a Tone It Up member for about two years and can tell you first hand that their workouts are the BEST. They're really challenging but also so rewarding and don't take up a huge amount of time.

Anyway, back to the protein. I use it to make protein pancakes, protein muffins, and smoothies. It smells great and does not have that strong chalky after taste that most other proteins have. It comes in several flavors but vanilla is my go-to. In my opinion, the chocolate is a little too strong. I definitely recommend TIU's Perfect Fit protein and visit Tone It Up's website if you're looking for some new workouts!

You can grab a tub of TIU protein here

2. Tone It Up Sculpting Discs

In addition to the protein, I also purchased TIU's sculpting discs. You place one of your feet on a disc and do lunges or squats. It's a great workout for your legs and booty (it really hurts at first!)

3. Mally Beauty Foundation & Evercolor Eye Stick

I've never tried Mally makeup before but as a style intern for Baltimore Magazine, they recently sent their entire collection to my boss so I was able to snag a few pieces!

The foundation is a little dark for me and I prefer liquid so I haven't really used it much. But, it looks like it would be ideal for people who are looking for a heavier coverage.

The eye stick has become part of my everyday makeup routine. I use it each morning on my eyelids. Your eyelids need a little concealer on them because they're often a different color than the rest of your face. This is the perfect shade and it's so light, you don't feel like there's makeup caked onto your lids.

4. Frasier Sterling Earrings

I first learned about Frasier Sterling when they popped up on my Instagram explore page. They have the cutest jewelry. So many pieces are customizable, such as a choker I have from them with my name on it. Also the prices are great and nothing is crazy expensive.

I customized these Star Crossed Lover Earrings with my initials. I love how they came out! They're dainty so if you have a second piercing in one ear you can definitely do more than one earring at a time.
