Working Out with Friends & {$100 Albion fit Giveaway}

I don't know about you but sometimes I just don't feel like going to the gym. Don't get me wrong I love it there once I am there and ever since I started Crossfit, read more about that journey HERE, I look forward to it even more, but we all have those days. Those are the times I am really grateful to know these beautiful girls that have a passion for fitness as much as I do and will come with me if I ask them to. I think it is important to have those friends that share your passion and it is even more important in fitness when sometimes we need that extra motivation, push or accountability to get up, out the door and to the gym and when we do we are so happy we did, am I right?!

A couple weekends ago I was needing some extra motivation, and I was so excited when my friend Becky asked me and these cute friends of ours to get together and workout. We got up bright and early on a Saturday morning and met up at Becky's favorite place to work out and second home, The Gym at Station Park in Farmington, Utah. It is a beautiful facility, brand spankin new, state of the art equipment, functional, friendly and just a great atmosphere that gets you coming back for more. The location is great for all my Davis county, Ogden and Salt Lake City friends, and there is some amazing shopping you can do after, now that is a win. The gym as wonderful equipment, classes and they offer personal training. Big thank you to the Gym at station Park for having us, it was a blast, just check out the video to see how much fun getting your fitness on with friends really is. I just love these girls and hope to make this a more regular thing in the future. Thank you for motivating me!

Now invite a friend to come to the gym, on a run, to zumba or even to a crossfit class next time you go.  I have invited a couple friends to do crossfit with me and so far each of them has loved it. Also don't be shy and make friends with those who already go to your gym, or classes. The guys in my class keep me going and for sure hold me accountable. I hear from them if I don't show up, sometimes that is all we need to keep going.  Not only will this help motivate you and hold you accountable to your workouts, but this can also motivate and help others.

Now for the fun surprise for you all, I don't know if you noticed from the video but not only did we have some great workout tips, showed an amazing gym, and how much fun working out with friends is, but we were all looking pretty cute in our workout clothing ALL from the amazing Albion Fit. If you already follow my blog you know by now how much I adore this company. They are by far my favorite fitness clothes and swimsuits I own. We all loved ours so much that we teamed up with them to give you all a chance to win $100 to their store and might I add their Spring line is AMAZING!!!!

My Craft Channel Debute {And the HEADWRAP TUTORIAL filmed}

Do you remember my popular DIY headwrap tutorial from a couple weeks back?

Well I have one upped that tutorial and am now giving you a filmed tutorial. It seems like when we can actually see how something is being done in a video it is much easier to understand. I try my best to show it all and to explain it in pictures, but seeing it live is just plain better.

I was asked by the beautiful My Craft Channel girls to come and film an episode with them. Have you heard of My craft Channel? It is a fun online channel full of so much inspiration goodness, crafts galore, awesome products, tutorials, and much more. You have got to check it out if you haven't already.

 
I got to be on an episode and guest on My Craft Studio with Kristine McKay. I am episode two you can find it at that link or just scroll down. Kristine is a freakin Doll I just loved hanging out with her and Tausha.

I knew right away what I wanted to show you and I was excited to share. But before you watch, I am warning you that I am a complete dork in it.Was I hoped up on something? Jeeze. Hopefully you can get pat all of that.  I don't know why I was so nervous I have been on live TV and did better, oh well it gets the point across just no makin fun, because I really am embarrassed and am crazy for sharing it but I really wanted you to see the turban fold. So here it is let me know if you have anymore questions.

Along with the tutorial there were some fun "Rapid Fire" questions and crazy responses. Watch through to see what was so funny. Why am I so embarrassing? Oh well it was so much fun I don't even care.

Now that we have that out of the way...did it make sense? Do you see how it is easier to see how I did the turban fold there at the end? Also I wanted to make a few corrections now that I have done more of these and have seemed to have perfected the tutorial a little more. Don't use the stitch I was talking about that is two stitches forward one stitch back.... that one works fine but I found a better one. The stretch stitch...duh haha makes sense right. The stretch stitch is just an off centered zig zag it kinda looks like a lightening bolt. If you don't have that setting on your machine you can use a zig zag.This will give it the room it needs to be able to stretch and go back to its original state. Now I am tellin ya they are perfect. So try that one out when you make yours.

Also I have been asked where I get my fabric. The answer is Hobby Lobby and A cute little fabric store called Material Girls here in Salt Lake City.

And last I don't have an official etsy shop yet, but I am working on it so stay tuned because I have decided to sell some headwrap beauties. After many emails, comments and requests I figure I might as well make them for others to enjoy as well. So for those of you who are too busy to make them, or just plain don't want to but want one at an affordable price, let me make them for you. Follow me on Instagram for some sneak peeks and some pre order requests and of course I will be announcing when the etsy shop is up and running.

You can also follow My Craft Channel through their facebook, pinterest, twitter and instagram @mycraftchannel.
