What you wear during workouts is up to you. I personally like leggings 24/7 all year-round, but maybe you’re more into tanks and running shorts. But have you ever considered wearing a dress at the gym?
Exercise dresses aren’t just for tennis anymore.
Outdoor Voices advertises its dress as ones you can dance, rollerblade, even weightlift in <- and I went for it. It may sound counterintuitive, but dresses actually make for ideal athletic wear, especially when they’re specifically designed to move and breathe with your body.

Why I love it?
The exercise dress is made with sweat-wicking material. Whether you are at the gym or just walking around somewhere hot AF, this dress is a yes. Are you a curvy lady? Do your thighs chafe? In a normal cotton dress my thighs are chafe city, but not when I wear this exercise dress! The shorts liner not ONLY has a side pocket for my phone it lets my thighs touch in peace.
Now, Benji has never really been a big fan of a dog bed. He has consistently slept with me in my bed for the past eight years, so when he REALLY took a liking to this bed I was very surprised. He loved this bed so much, he opted to sleep in the bed alone on the floor versus with me in the luxurious Four Seasons bed!
The next morning I flipped over the bed, found the label, and ordered it!
The round design creates a protective atmosphere, while the bolstered edge gives additional orthopedic support and serves as a paw-sitively purr-fect headrest. A unique insulation layer radiates warmth from your pet’s own body heat.
It’s machine washable, dryer-safe, and comes in a soft faux-shag material that will keep your pal warm, cozy and comforted.
How the product was invented
The bed’s inventor, Shohreh Samani, was working in the textiles business when she noticed her Pomeranian sleeping on a pile of fluffy fabric samples she was considering for one of her decorative pillow designs.
“It was an ah-ha moment,” Samani said. “I interviewed vets and trainers, who told me for a pet to get a good night’s sleep, which is crucial to their health and wellbeing, that it was important they felt a sense of shelter and security.”
So Samani set out to design a bed that was reminiscent of a mother’s fur coat. “I wanted it to have deep crevices along with walls to support the head and neck,” she said. “It also had to be malleable enough to cater to the two primary sleeping styles of dogs and cats: curling and sprawling.”
Key Benefits
Soft faux shag fur keeps your furry friend warm and cozy on cold nights, while the water-resistant nylon bottom keeps your floors safe in case of an accident.
The extra filling provides relief from joint and muscle pain, while round-shape is paw-sitively purr-fect for pets who like to curl up and snuggle.
Raised edges are perfect for burrowing, offer additional orthopedic support, and serve as a comfortable headrest.
Orthopedic dog and cat bed is machine washable and dryer-safe for every pet parent’s convenience.
Wearing leather pants probably hasn’t really been on your mind a lot recently (but if you follow me on Instagram you know that I’ve worn these pants all over Utah and most recently this summer in Mexico). Wearing sweatpants, on the other hand, probably has. But what if I told you that a leather-sweatpants hybrid that combines the best of both – like the cool factor of leather with the comfort of sweats – exists?
Spanx’s Leather-Like Joggers are the answer to your post-quarantine style frustrations for the simple reason that they won’t have you sacrificing the comfort you’ve enjoyed the past year for the style you’ve been yearning for. Sounds like a wardrobe must, right? Right. That’s probably why when these new Spanx pants debuted last September, they sold out in less than a month and racked up a 4,500-person waitlist in the process. Now they’re back, and they’re probably going to sell out even faster than that.

CARE & INSTRUCTIONS
These Spanx joggers are washable, and anyone who’s ever worn real leather and knows the hassle that is laundering them will understand how much of a game-changer that is. Simply throw these leather-like joggers in the wash on a cold, gentle cycle (preferably inside out, too), and they’ll come out fresh and clean.

The Spanx Leather-Like Jogger are made from a fabric that looks like real leather but doesn’t feel quite like it, in that the material is softer, stretchier, and comfier than the real thing. There are a handful of other features, like an easy-to-pull-on design, a hidden shaping panel near the tummy, functional pockets, and ruched detailing at the waistband and ankles for a flattering effect.
These Pants Look Like Leather But Feel Like Joggers, And They’ve Been Sold Out Since Fall
The Leather-Like Jogger is sure to be a new staple in your wardrobe. Leather-like fabric is more structured and gives you the look of true leather, without sacrificing comfort. You won’t just “like” them… you’ll love them!
If you’re a dog owner (like me), Halloween is probably one of your favorite holidays. I mean, is there anything cuter than dressing up your furry friend?
No, I think not.
And while it’s always fun to dress up with other people, nothing tops matching dog Halloween costumes. Besides, there’s a good chance that you already do everything together; celebrating the spooky holiday should be no different!
I rounded up five of my favorite matching dog Halloween costumes from Amazon and Chewy. All of these costumes are easy, affordable and guarantee to make you smile.
Five Matching Dog Halloween Costumes
1. Lobsters
Don’t be shell-fish this year and let your furry friend join in on the Halloween fun. This costume was SO easy to put together and honestly the most comfortable costume I’ve ever worn. I threw my hair in a bun and paired the Amazon Lobster Costume with a pair of Spanx leggings and my favorite M. Gemi sneakers.
2. Tacos
Let’s just be honest here. We all love tacos and the guy modeling the human costume is hot. Put your man it and pray that he ends up looking like this guy.
3. Mermaids
The way the golden retriever is looking over her shoulder in her mermaid costume makes me want to run to the closest shelter and adopt a female dog just so I can make use of this stunning costume. Red wigs for everyone this year!
4. Pandas
There is no need to diet to get into either of these costumes. They look both comfy and cute AF!
5. Werewolves
I had to throw one scary option into this roundup. Full moon or not, your furry one can get a whole lot furrier this year wearing this fun (an affordable) costume.
The Pivot is compatible with all bottles and types of wine – providing they’re still not sparkling.
It comes with two stoppers and one gas canister to start you off!
Coravin Pivot Review
Coravin has been on my radar for a year or two, but last year their award-winning products went from a want to a need as I started to dig into my solo wine collection at home and needed to make the wine last (since it is just me over here).
Coravin is a name you might not have heard before, but it’s a company that should be of interest to you if you drink wine…which is most of us over here! They have a wide range of wine preservation systems depending on your wants and needs.
The Coravin Pivot (that I snagged) is the new, cheaper way to keep a bottle of wine for a few weeks. It still uses a small Argon gas cylinder like their more expensive versions, but the Coravin Pivot is a more straightforward pourer –one that keeps the integrity of the bottle intact.
Essentially, you pull the cork and replace it with one of Coravin’s stoppers. Then, at any point, you can simply attach the $99 Coravin Pivot device and pour away – the inert gas keeps the pressure up within the bottle so there is no reaction of wine with air. You can pour 20 glasses using one capsule before you’ll need to change it.
Plus, the Pivot’s is equal to that of pouring directly from the bottle. Because you can buy extra stoppers (two are included) it’s ideal for those who want to drink a glass or two from different bottles but who understandably don’t want to waste the rest of the bottle!
