Friday Finds - Self Care and Activewear

This week's Friday finds includes some self care items and some active wear items! How fun!

Honey Face Mask - I've heard of honey face masks but never really gave it much thought. However, recently, I've been having some outbreaks so I was researching some natural remedies and honey face masks came up. Honey is a natural anti-microbial and antibacterial agent but you need to find a raw or manuka honey because the processed ones lose these properties during the processing. I used https://beekeepersnaturals.com/ raw honey. I just simply spread it on my face, let it sit 10 minutes and rinsed it off. My face felt amazing right away and smelled good too lol! I would say give it a try!

Fre Skincare Detox Me Mask - Another face mask coming at you! Face masks are my new thing. I already love Fre Skincare with their 123 set for skin that sweats. They are cruelty free, vegan, natural and plant an Argan tree for every set sold. They recently released the new Detox Me mask which is a natural clearing mask to prevent post sweat breakouts and acne, remove excess oils and unclog pores which is so perfect for me right now! It's unscented but has a fresh, natural smell. I seriously love it! You can get it for 15% off with code: HHF at www.freskincare.com/HHF.

AlphaPack Fitness Set - I recently won a giveaway for a workout set from AlphaPack Fitness and I was so excited! I received the Violet Set (sports bra and leggings) in size XS. The set fit very well; the leggings were very tight, and very high waisted. The sports bra is simple but comfortable and supportive enough for me. I thought this set was so cute and works for me. My only wish is that the leggings had pockets. The leggings were also long in comparison to other leggings I have so this is great for taller girls but probably not so much for shorter girls. I am 5'6 and they were long but not too long. Check them out here: https://www.alphapackfitness.com/ and keep up with them on Instagram for giveaways!


 Zyia Activewear Sports Bra and Leggings - This brand offers an XXS option for sizing so I was a little apprehensive regarding what size to choose. I went with XXS (I am normally an XS, 0-1) and it worked out fine. The leggings were very tight but I would rather them be tight than loose lol. I thought they were very cute and loved how high waisted they were. The sports bra was very comfortable and had cute details in the back. The customer service is also very nice as the rep tried to help me figure out what size to order! Check them out here: http://zyiaactive.com/

You've seen edible cookie dough recipes all over the World Wide Web. You've some cookie dough with garbanzo beans, cookie dough with flour, dough with sugar, without sugar, maybe even with sweet potato. But, have you ever seen cookie dough with... Cauliflower.

It's used as rice, as a mock mashed potato, as pizza crust, even added into smoothies! So what can't this vegetable do!? This recipe is SO SIMPLE, you have to try it!

Product Review: Tru Fru

Image
If you dip anything in chocolate it's instantly 10x better, right? I like freeze dried fruit and I like  love chocolate so combining the two is a recipe for success!  That's what Tru Fru has done.  The fruit is harvested fresh, freeze dried to lock in the majority of the vitamins, taste, and nutrition. The fruit is then coated in rich chocolate for a snack that is both nutritious and indulgent tasting! You don't have to choose between a nutritious snack or a tasty treat. You can have both in one. That's the concept, so let's get taste-testing! They have several different varieties including: Raspberries, Cherries, Coconut Melts, Strawberries, Bananas, and Cranberries. I first tried the Strawberry variety because chocolate covered strawberries are classic! I really liked it! The dark chocolate coating was smooth and rich while the freeze dried strawberry interior was crunchy and sweet with a slight tang. I found this to be perfectly balanced with

Must Read List

Have you been spending more time at home? Have you finished your entire list on Netflix? If the answer to these is Yes, you might be looking for some ways to fill your time. I personally love to read, especially while laying out in the sunshine. So I thought I would share some of my all time, must read books! I'm a fan of fiction so these books are all fiction! Longtime Favorite:  A Separate Peace I read this book as a freshman in high school and it never left me. The emotions are so piercing and the story so unique that I never forgot it.  Classic:  The Picture of Dorian Gray Thought provoking, emotive, and relatable to the core - this timeless classic will have you turning pages.  Female Must Read:  The Bell Jar Sylvia Plath captures a character that reached deep within my soul. It touches on mental health, feminism and more all while being extremely readable, imo.  Lived Up to the H ype:  The Fault in Our Stars John Green is a master story-teller and this book lived up to the hy
