What is your favorite workout clothing for running? For Yoga? Best undies for under your workout clothes?
Karissa: For running I found the best lululemon shorts this summer (I loved them so much I went back the next day and got another pair). For yoga I love these pants, they have compression at the top and are light and stretchy at the bottom, plus they are super long so I can pull them over my heels. This is my absolute favorite sports bra - I love it for both running and yoga (or any other activity). I'm usually not picky about undies under my workout clothes, if I notice a specific pair drives me crazy while working out I usually avoid that pair... but these are pretty great!
Sam: I would workout everyday in LuluLemon if I could! The quality and fit of their workout clothing is unmatched and it always stays in place. I rarely pay full price and just wait for items to fall under the "We Made too much category" on their website. I love these shorts for running and these pants (size down) for hot yoga. A lot of the shorts I wear have underwear built in so I just go with that!
What's your favorite thing to do to workout?
Sam: My favorite thing in the world is riding my road bike. Right now I have a flat tire so that is out of the question but I have been running and doing my LovebyLynn HIIT guide. This is a great 30 min workout with pictures on all the exercises. I usually make it through 3 rounds and even though I'm sore the next day the guide covers a different muscle group each time.
Karissa: I am pretty obsessed with Pure Barre. The only problem with it is that it is pretty expensive, but I recently discovered Class Pass. Class Pass allows me to go to Pure Barre at least a few times a month and also check out other studios in the area (yoga, cycle, barre etc) which I love. Click here for $30 off your first month! (Class Pass is only offered in some cities). Also if you only want to try Pure Barre they run lots of deals for new clients! If I'm not headed to a class I usually will try and do yoga (love Yoga with Adriene on YouTube) or go on a jog with the pup.
Songs you are digging right now?
Karissa: Currently playing on repeat is Feels - Calvin Harris, Katy Perry, Pharrell and Big Sean.
Sam: I'm so out of the loop I don't even know if this is a new song but I love Feel it Still by Portugal, the Man. I also love Calvin Harris' new album, especially Slide!
What is your must have beauty item?
Karissa: I am obsessed with my Wet Brush! It seriously has changed my life. My hair is thick and when wet can be really tangled, which makes it painful to brush out. The Wet Brush detangles my hair so easily and completely pain free. This would be really great for kids too!
Sam: My must have beauty item, and the one container I purchase the most often, is my Khiels whipped body butter. I put this on after every shower and it keeps my skin moisturized for days and has barely any scent. Bonus item is this life changing dry shampoo. (Zach uses it too)
I work all day on my feet - what is your best recommendation for comfy & cute work shoes?
Karissa: I thankfully wear tennis shoes or Sperrys to work everyday, which are both comfortable but not the cutest for dressing up. If I have to dress up for work I love a good loafer like these or these.
Sam: I have a hard time finding flats that don't give me blisters so I have been gravitating towards slides lately. Hopefully your workplace does not have a no open-back shoes policy! If not I love these and these. I am also lusting after these moccasins.
