The Friday 5

By

Hi, friends!

Happy Friday to you! 🙂

What a week, right? My head is still spinning from the post-new year craziness and my one million item To Do list. Yeehaw! Thankfully, I had some time to put together this blog post with my top favorites from the week. I hope you enjoy it! 🙂

Chatting with Taylor about ALL things macros on The Trillest Podcast – I was recently on the The Trillest Podcast talking about macros with Taylor (one of the co-hosts). She signed up for one of my macro plans with me as her coach, so she shares her experience in this episode. Tune in to see what she had to say!

Chocolate Donut Seasoning – Zero -calorie Chocolate Donut Seasoning? It sounds too good to be true, right? Well, this stuff is the bomb, and I love putting it on apple slices, rice cakes with peanut butter, and so much more. If you like chocolate and donuts (I mean, who doesn’t?), you need this seasoning in your life!

Touchup Skin Concealer Pen – This product is definitely one of the unsung heroes of the Beautycounter makeup line. For real. Click, cover, correct! Easy as that! I use this product just about everyday along with the Dew Skin, which is the perfect combination for someone (aka me) who likes minimal effort makeup!

The concealer pen helps cover dark eye circles, redness, acne scars, and other imperfections. What I like best about this concealer over other ones that I’ve tried is that it’s thick and gooey. You’re probably thinking: “Eww, gooey?” But, I swear, it’s a positive! 🙂 The concealer is really moisturizing, so it goes on smoothly for flawless coverage. It’s also formulated with knotgrass extract to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and photoaging, so your skin looks firmer, brighter, and more even. And, of course, the click-pen design and brush applicator make it so easy to apply. You get just the right amount of concealer exactly where you need it, so there’s no messing around.

I wear the Light shade just to give you an idea on what shade to pick. FYI: Beautycounter has an awesome return policy, so if you do pick the wrong shade, just send it back within 60 days for a full refund or just exchange for a different color.

Additionally, if you missed my blog post yesterday, I mentioned that Beautycounter is offering a great deal right now on their regimens!

Brooks Bedlam (aka the prettiest sneakers I own) – Right? Super cute!! They’re almost too pretty to workout in, but, of course, I do – and I almost always get a compliment on them! I also love wearing these babies in my everyday life to run errands, etc. They’re supportive, but light and energizing at the same time, and I love running on the treadmill with them lately. I also wore them to a Step class earlier in the week, and they performed really well. I, however, was a total goober with my coordination! Haha! The Bedlam are definitely a new favorite!

Cuyana Classic Leather Tote – You might have read a review or two now about my favorite leather tote that I’ve had for years now. Well, I get questions about it ALL the time from people in real life and strangers on the Internet – pretty much any time I share a photo of me holding it, so I figured I should profess my love for it again! This leather tote is seriously the best bag ever. It’s held up so well over the years and still looks practically brand new. It’s definitely an awesome investment! 🙂 If you’re on the fence about purchasing it, feel free to check out my review, which includes a video too!

That’s all I’ve got for now. I hope you enjoyed this round-up, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🙂

P.S. Here’s a bonus favorite from the week: A newly organized RECIPE PAGE! Holy cow, it makes searching for recipes on CNC so much easier. Check it out and let me know what you think! 🙂

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
