Summer Haul

Hello internet friends! As you may know, I’m back home for the summer, and since moving back, I’ve given away a lot of my clothes because they just don’t fit anymore (thank you to the 10 lbs I gained during freshman year) or they’re just too young-looking for me. I also started an internship yesterday (yay!) and needed some nicer things. So, it was time to hit up the stores to see what I could find!

summer haul old navy, costco, and makeup

Old Navy is always a hit or miss for me, but I am in love with some of their shirts. They typically have really good sales going on all the time. I stopped by this past Saturday just planning to buy maybe two shirts… $74 later, I bought way more than two shirts.

These are the Old Navy Linen Blend Boyfriend T-Shirts. I have one in black, and I wear it all the time. The linen blend makes it look nicer than your regular t-shirt so these will be perfect for work and the school year! The boyfriend fit is loose and flowy – just what I like!

summer haul costco pants

Believe it or not, these pants are from Costco. Yep. You read that right. Costco. My mom found these, raved about them, I tried them on, and we went back to get me some. I got the black, olive, and light grey. Please excuse the wrinkles.

I FINALLY FOUND SHORTS THAT FIT! You all know the struggle. Shorts nowadays are just so itty bitty that your whole butt basically hangs out. That may be for you, but that’s not what I’m looking for in shorts. I found these at Old Navy on sale for $13 each. These are the Pixie shorts with a 3.5″ inseam. Needless to say, I bought four pair because when I find shorts that fit (which isn’t often) I stock up!

summer haul makeup products

I ran out of some essentials while at college and never repurchased them until now. The Maybelline NYC The Rocket mascara is my go to. I ran out of my Maybelline NYC FIT me foundation in the shade 110. I also needed a new primer so I picked up the e.l.f. Mineral Infused Face Primer. And finally, I used all of my face lotion so I found the up&up oil-free facial moisturizer with sunscreen. Gotta get in that sun protection, and with all of the other face lotions costing $10+, I thought I’d try this one for only $7.

What are some of your recent purchases? Where do you find shorts that fit? I love hearing from you all!

Taking some time outside of CrossFit to drill down and focus on my weightlifting technique. Snatches and cleans have always been a little intimidating and I’ve been scared to push myself on them for fear of injury. Looking forward to seeing how my lifts progress over the next few months!

Oh, and mental health is doing fantastically, too!

@cattyelizabeth5 and I are back after 3 long months, and we’re so excited to share the first episode of season 5 of Girls Talk! It’s a good one and a pretty great way to spend an hour of your quarantine 💁‍♀️

I was 9 months in to my fitness journey, tracked macros like it was my job, and religiously went to the gym 5-6 days a week. Seeing this pop up in my “Memories” was just what I needed today because being stuck at home because of my susceptibility to lung problems and #covid_19 has left me highly unmotivated to workout...
