As a Reformer Pilates instructor who also lifts + runs, I'm picky about leggings 🤎 Vitality’s Cloud II passes every test for me.

TLDR about the pants…
Super buttery soft. Softest pair I’ve touched in a long time
Stretchy, not too stretchy
TTS or you could size down for a tighter fit
Moisture wicking, they don’t feel wet when I sweat
Cute V back to emphasize curves
& most importantly, they don’t slide down.

I’ve been on the hunt for a high quality, buttery soft pair to teach in & these are now my go to.

5' 2"
150#
Curvy, athletic
Size large, could do medium for more compression

If your hair gets oily fast or you’re constantly on the go, this non-aerosol dry shampoo powder is about to become your new best friend. I’ve been using the Hair Dance Dry Shampoo Powder on my dark hair & it instantly absorbs oil, adds volume & refreshes my roots without leaving that white, chalky residue traditional dry shampoos leave behind. It’s a clean, natural formula made in the USA. I love that it’s a safer, more eco-friendly alternative to aerosol dry shampoos.

Whether I’m heading to teach a Pilates class, rushing to an event, or squeezing in a hair refresh between meetings, this powder is so easy to toss in my gym bag or purse. A few taps at the roots and my hair looks lifted, clean & actually put together, even on my busiest days. If you’re looking for a clean beauty dry shampoo that works on all hair colors (especially dark hair), this one is it.

I tested out the Perfecting Serum from LALAIS last year and I get why they call it magic in a bottle. 💫🧴

This 4-in-1 serum is designed for oily, combination, acne-prone skin. It uses their exclusive Oil Control Complex (OCC3®) to tackle excess shine at the root, while a 10% exfoliating blend and peptides smooth, brighten, even out texture. The best part? It replaces FOUR serums in your routine. 🙌

✨ What I noticed:
– Less shine throughout the day
– Breakouts calming down
– Skin looking smoother + more balanced

And the clinical results back it up:
✔️ 100% saw improvement in at least 2 oily skin concerns
✔️ 91% saw smoother tone + texture

✨ July Empties Pt. 5 ✨ How I cleared up my pilates backne 🧽 these pads were absolutely essential to helping clear my back acne. When I went back to teaching reformer pilates in 2023... my back broke out like I was 16 again 🥲 Between sweating, teaching multiple classes, not always being able to shower right after, my skin was not happy.

I kept seeing the viral medicube toner pads & decided to add them into my routine. The Zero Pore Pad has been my go-to refresh for my face when I need to wipe off sweat + bacteria fast. It keeps my pores clear and my skin feeling smooth without irritation.

But the real MVP for my back acne: Red Succinic Acid Peeling Pad 🙌 packed with salicylic acid + succinic acid to fight acne, calm redness, even help fade post-acne marks. I started using them consistently after class and noticed a huge difference: smoother skin + no more stubborn breakouts hanging around.

If you’re active, teach, or just don’t always get to rinse off right after sweating, these medicube toner pads are worth it. Made in Korea, dermatologist-tested, super gentle even on sensitive skin.

#LTKBeauty #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKActive

☁️👟 It feels like I'm teaching on clouds... I'm a full time Reformer Pilates Instructor, I know what it feels like to be on your feet and moving all day. Teaching class after class takes a toll on my body (especially my hips, knees, joints) which is why finding the right shoes is everything.

These NORTIV 8 sneakers have honestly been such a great change for me recently. They’re super lightweight and breathable, but what I’ve noticed most… the shock absorbent cushioning. After hours of demoing movements, walking the room, pushing with you, my knees and hips don’t feel as sore or aching. The supportive midsole really makes a difference + the slip resistant sole keeps me steady.

Even though I recommend them to fitness instructors, these are honestly perfect for anyone looking for everyday comfort. Whether you’re teaching, training, running errands, hot girl walk… these sneakers check all the boxes: supportive, breathable, durable, stylish to wear with anything.
