Front squats in cool baby blue long sleeve crop paired with monochrome workout outfit in ash grey’s and white crew socks for soft summer color seasons. Using 2-35 pound dumbbells on my blue foam puzzle mat (always wearing AirPods).

Front squats with dumbbells are of my favorites for posture and the glutes that I’ve neglected but been adding back into my routines recently: try 3 sets of 12-15 in your next lower body or circuit workout. Use a weight that you can get through all reps with proper technique (the last 2 reps of any exercise are most important to your brain, how you perform these will be what your brain and body remembers most) but still a challenging resistance. Move through the full range of motion pausing for ~2-3 seconds at the bottom of the squat. Rest 30-90 seconds between sets (shorter rest for more cardiovascular challenge with a lighter weight). Front squats also challenge your core, having to work to keep your spine neutral and upright throughout the exercise.

All products can be found on Amazon and Target (*Target does not have A313) - see the product sets by store on my shop!

After cleansing, I alternate between glycolic acid and A313 retinol at night (sometimes using both since my tolerance has increased) as part of my skin care treatment through the week, only using salicylic acid as needed (applied as a spot treatment first). These skincare products help with acne, brightening skin, resurfacing/cell turnover and collagen production for smooth, glowing skin.

Morning (am) base skincare routine: a warm water-only compress (I microwave the damp cloth for ~25 seconds each time to keep it warm) to increase blood circulation in my face, wash my face and wake up. Then vitamin C to inhibit melanin production, promote collagen as well as boost the effects of sunscreen in my favorite broad spectrum 20% zinc oxide sunscreen from Juice Beauty to prevent skin damage during the day.

Preparing for 2023 in fitness and general life goals 🤍 continuing all my workouts from my patio home gym. The general set up was super affordable, and I gradually purchased weights and other gym equipment over the last year - main products listed below!

The Gymshark fit (shorts and bra) now come in new colors of white and pink - but these are two of my favorite pieces from Gymshark. I protected my face and décolletage with a combo of two sunscreens for 20% zinc oxide protection (Juice Beauty) and a little extra color (Tarte) to match my tanner. Also recommend the lavender scent of the mineral deodorant over the unscented. Had some pre workout and did a leg circuit and glute focused lifting session. Finished off the workout with my favorite pea protein powder 🤍
