The Friday 5

By

Hi, guys!

Happy FRIYAY to you! I hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day yesterday. I actually documented ours via old school blogging, so I plan to share a recap here soon. I’m really trying to get my ish together as far as CNC Macro Plans + Coaching goes (the building and growing phase of a new biz is no joke!), so, hopefully, I’ll have more time to devote to “day in the life-style” blogging again. Speaking of which, I’m hosting a FREE Macro Bootcamp at the end of the month, and we’ll have an April group for the “Macro the Masters Challenge,” so keep a look out for details in the coming weeks!

Since it’s Friday and all, it’s time for another edition of The Friday 5, where I pick my top 5 favorites from the week. I hope you enjoy this week’s round-up! 🙂

OWYN vegan plant-based protein powder – I’ve received a ton of questions about the new protein powder that I’m using in my iced coffee every morning, so I wanted to share the details here. I recently laid off my beloved SFH because I thought the whey was maybe making me breakout, and a few followers recommended OWYN, so I decided to give it a try. I’m actually on my second tub of it, so you could say I’m a fan! 🙂 It’s definitely one of the better tasting plant-based protein powders that I’ve tried. The texture is more light and fluffy as opposed to grainy like a lot of them. The vanilla flavor is great (not artificial tasting) and one serving contains 20g of plant-based protein as well as BCAAs, a superfoods greens blend, and probiotics. I love that it’s an all-in-one protein powder!

Flawless in Five – I just had to share this Beautycounter deal with all of you – it’s THAT good! In fact, I might personally take advantage of it because SO MANY of my favorite products are included and you get a free make-up brush with your purchase!

Flawless in Five includes 3 safer, high-performing products:

  • Tint Skin Hydrating Foundation
  • Touchup Skin Concealer Pen
  • Color Define Brow Pencil or Brilliant Brow Gel
  • Lengthening or Volumizing Mascara
  • Satin Powder Blush
  • Lip Gloss

Guys, this bundle is 20% off AND you get a free brush ($35 value)! It’s a $222 value of products for $150! This is such a great starter set for anyone who wants to swap out their makeup for something safe. It’s time to break up with your make up! 🙂

Haze Funnel Sweatshirt – I wore this sweatshirt the other day on Instagram Stories and must have received a dozen inquires about it, so I wanted to share the details here. It’s definitely a cozy sweatshirt that I wear a lot – lounging around the house, running errands, and it’s easy enough to dress it up!

The green is actually sold out, but there are other colors available. I actually really like the light gray (pictured below)!

Speaking of awesome sweatshirts…

Todd Snyder Hoodie in Surf Green (aka Mal’s Valentine’s Day present) – Mal loves the Champion line from Todd Snyder. I actually bought him a Short Sleeve Sweatshirt for Christmas, which he’s already worn a ton. I saw this sweatshirt and knew it would look awesome on him, especially with spring and summer just around the corner. It comes in other colors too, but the teal definitely caught my eye!

Brooks Bedlam – These sneakers are everything! They’re almost too pretty to work out in, but, of course, I do – and I mainly wear them running errands, hanging out with friends, etc. They’re super comfy and supportive, but light and energizing at the same time, and I love running on the treadmill with them. The Bedlam are definitely a favorite!

Happy Friday, friends! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🙂

Question of the Day

What’s your favorite plant-based protein powder?

P.S. For those of you not on Instagram (or who don’t check regularly), I added a widget to the top of the blog that shares my Stories in real time. Check it out and follow along! 🙂

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
