Motivation

I am a far cry from being the poster child for regimented exercise. Don't be deceived; I thought it would be ascetically appealing to take photos on the beach, but I do not run on the beach. I walk to the beach - briskly.

Up until Marika sent me these Magic slimming capris, I was just borrowing workout clothes from my Sister.

The pants are a cotton and spandex blend, the material is thick and substantial. They run true to size and I got them in a small (typically with size charts I order down a size from where my actual measurements are, this time I did not). I truly feel they succeeded in making me appear far more athletic than I am.

Marika offers a wide range of yoga and fitness apparel, and if you are anything like me, and the idea of new workout clothes is the right motivation to actually workout, then you will be happy to know they are offering 30% off your purchase with code MM30 through August 31st.

Another important motivator is a great playlist, so I thought I would share mine below!

  1. You look adorable and I always think you look fit :) Love the pants with the pineapple tee--and hell a good walk on the beach is quite a workout--I am not sure I could run on the sand if I tried ha :)

  9. Hi babe great post! I totally agree on how shopping new workout clothes makes you exciting to hit the street and start jogging, I have the exact same thing. Best investment I'd say!

  15. Workout wear is a funny thing. I'm sure I would be more motivated to work out if I had cute clothes to do it in but... and here is always a but... I find it so hard to invest in it when there are cute dresses and shoes in the world. I have a feeling we understand each other on this :) Sadly, I don't have a sister to borrow workout clothes from, so I do have a few of my own, but nothing nearly so sleek as your pants. They make your legs look extra fabulous!
