How I #LiveInprAna From Yoga to Work with #SweatPink

October 3, 2015 By lyndsinreallife 1 Comment

This post is sponsored by prAna and Fit Approach. All opinions are my own.

When I was in my early 20s, my favorite outfit to wear was jeans, a sleek tank, and heels. I wore gobs of makeup, made sure my hair was perfect each day, and was obsessed with designer labels. My love for these labels did not come from actually loving the designers; it was because my friends loved the designers and I wanted to be cool. I was the girl who cared more about beauty than comfort. I remember my going-away party when I was 24 (before my move from Cleveland to Los Angeles): it was 20°F outside, ice everywhere, cold as could be, and I was wearing bright red, 5 inch heels.

To that I say -_-

Now I’m in my late 20s, and a few things have changed. My days consist of meditation, yoga, nannying, and lounging/Netflixing. Heels and jeans are the LAST things I need. However, one thing has remained the same: the label. While I didn’t understand the quality of designer brands when I was younger, I’ve now learned to appreciate quality brands. One of those brands is prAna.

PrAna, meaning breath or universal life force, is an eco-conscious, sustainable, organic clothing company whose mission is to inspire healthy, active, free-spirited living. The clothes are incredibly comfortable, versatile, and chic. I love that I can wear any of the pieces practically anywhere! As I type this post, I’m wearing the Maison Leggings in plum baleen. Last night, I went to a taping and dinner with friends wearing my black Gabi Leggings. I wear my black Lahiri swimsuit when I go to the beach/pool with the girl I nanny (and I can’t forget my prAna chapstick!). I live in prAna every single day.

To celebrate how I #LiveInPrana, I joined the #sweatpink #7daystretch campaign with prAna and Fit Approach on Instagram! For 7 days, #sweatpinkers, yogis, climbers, and adventure enthusiasts posted how they lived in prAna. I received four items from prAna for this campaign.

My favorite pieces are the Bourke Top, Marin Pullover, Dreaming Top, Misty Legging, and Gabi Legging.

Are you loving these prAna outfits as much as I do?! Because there’s great news: prAna is having a SALE! 40-50% off past season items (some of the pieces are fall/winter and do not qualify), which you can find here.

Join Me As I #LiveInPrana During The #7DayStretch

August 28, 2015 By lyndsinreallife Leave a Comment

I’m joining prAna and Sweat Pink for a super fun, #7daystretch #liveinprana challenge – it started Monday, August 24th and ends Sunday, August 30th (we’re already halfway through, sorry about that!). Join in on the fun – answering daily prompts (see below) – or if you’d prefer to lurk, you can follow along on FitApproach or through the hashtags: #liveinprana #7daystretch #sweatpink!

 

We’ll be talking about how we (the community) embrace a prAna lifestyle (#liveinprana) and are challenging ourselves to stretch a little deeper, farther and more mindfully for 7 whole days (the #7daystretch). And we’re not just stretching our bodies so you don’t have to be pretzel to join in, we’re also stretching our minds and souls!

 

We’re nearing the end of August and even though the summer is coming to an end, I’m super excited about the Fall because the air is cooler and crispier.  In fact, my very favorite thing about Fall is the new fall fashion. I can imagine myself wearing the Bourke Top from prAna while I walk my dog along the beach!

 

If I had one goal for the Fall, it would be to become more flexible because I want to do more challenging yoga poses. To achieve it, I know I will need dedication and patience. And of course I want to look great doing it so I have the Maison Legging from prAna on my wish-list…..

Events Races

Spartan Race Giveaway + Discount

November 23, 2014 By lyndsinreallife 2 Comments

Have you ever heard of the Spartan Race? It’s similar to the Tough Mudder, but more challenging. A few of my friends are running the Malibu Sprint on December 6.

Disclosure: I was asked to share about the Spartan Race on my blog. No monetary compensation was received. As always, all opinions are 100% my own. All images and videos are from their media kit, with permission.

According to their website, “Spartan Race is on a mission to get you active, healthy, excited about change, and return to our ancient roots where running through woods, getting dirty, and facing adversity was part of everyday life. Our events are all about challenging today’s perception of normal.”

Check out the official Spartan Race video!

If it seems intimidating, never fear! “Spartan Race now introduces a level for everyone beginning with the entry level Spartan Sprint, intermediate level Super Spartan, the advanced Spartan Beast, and the ‘99.9% need not apply’ extreme level Death Race. Whatever your level, Spartan Race will test your strength, stamina, and sense of humor” (website).

Spartan Race isn’t the type of race I would usually do, mainly because of my tachycardia. However, it seems like an awesome way to challenge yourself mentally and physically, and I could see myself working toward it in the future!

Giveaway + Discount Code!

The people at Spartan Race have graciously allowed me to give away {ONE} free entry to any continental US Spartan Race in 2014/2015 (any open-heat; non-confirmed start time)! The giveaway ENDS Sunday, November 30 at 11:59pm PST. You must be 18 years of age or older. The winner will be notified via email. Enter using the Rafflecopter widget below & good luck!
