Guide to Cute Workout Clothes for Women

After working out, you will feel tired, exhausted, sore, and even fantastic. You might get all red and breathe heavily. However, the clothes you wear for workouts make a huge difference. In fact, the workout clothes you choose can actually change the way you feel after a workout session. To illustrate, a well-fitted and comfortable activewear bodysuit will not have you breathing for life. So, if you want to make the right purchase, we are sharing a guide to purchasing cute workout clothes! 


Consider the Fabrics
First of all, you have to choose workout clothes made from high-quality fabrics. That’s because it has to promise high breathability so the heat and perspiration can escape. For instance, if you usually have low-intensity workouts, you can opt for cotton clothes. The low-intensity workouts include yoga and walking. 


On the contrary, for high-intensity workouts, you can opt for synthetic fabrics. The fabrics include spandex, polyester, and polyamides. These fabrics dry quickly and also have antimicrobial properties, which keep bad odor at bay. On the other hand, if you want natural materials, merino wool and bamboo are two good options. 



Check the Fit
Your workout clothes won’t look good if they don’t fit you well. With a loose fit, you can easily cool down. However, it shouldn’t be too baggy because it might snag on the equipment. In fact, you might even trip and fall down. For this reason, we recommend using Cosmolle’s loose shirts for running and walking, but make sure the pants aren’t loose from your ankles. 


On the other hand, if you have to opt for high-intensity workouts in the gym, you should choose tight-fit clothes. In particular, you should purchase workout clothes with higher flexibility, so it stretches. Also, it’s recommended to use high waisted leggings with soft or locked seams, so there’s no chafing. 


Choose Compression 

There was a time when only professional athletes used to wear compression clothes. That’s because compression clothes can increase muscle recovery and workout performance, which is why we recommend using workout clothes made from compression fabric. This fabric provides more stability and support to the muscles. In addition, they increase blood circulation and flow. 


What we love about compression fabric is that it increases oxygen circulation, so there is no buildup of lactic acid. As a result, the muscle soreness will be reduced. 


Keep the Weather in Mind
Most people don’t think about the weather when they purchase workout clothes. However, a reliable workout set should help minimize the effects caused by weather changes. For warm weather, you should purchase moisture-wicking, lightweight, and breathable clothes. On the other hand, the cold season asks for compression fabric. In addition, if the workout clothes are lined with fleece, it’s even better. 

The Bottom Line
On a concluding note, working out is a lot of fun when you are feeling cute and confident. With this article, we shared a few factors to make your workouts easier. However, before we sign off, let us remind you to stock up on essentials, such as sports bras, racerback tops, compression shirts, and high-waisted leggings!

Managing and Budgeting my Money

Now that WHO (World Health Organization already declared the end of Covid-19 global health emergency, I feel somewhat relieved and very thankful. Although there are still cases in some parts of the world and in our country, covid has now simply became part of our lives. For the past years, especially the year 2020 till end of 2021, almost all of us struggled financially. It was tough.. really tough! 

Many lost lives, jobs and businesses. I for one suffered closure of our small business for roughly 2 years. Our finances during that time has almost reached rock bottom but we are still thankful that we survived.  

In those times, having some money at the bank became a saving grace. With little cash on our hand, we simply can’t afford to splurge on things that we don’t really need. The focus during those days were food, medicines and bills. The capacity to buy personal things like clothes and shoes is non-existent because going out of the house is limited and obviously it is not needed. Getting those material things during that time is not acceptable and not important.  

Now that the world is back to normal (somehow), businesses and people are also back to work, it’s now time to work hard again for the family. Providing the daily needs of a family, creating a budget and making sure our finances are balanced can be daunting. Surely anyone will find it challenging but we need to focus in order for us to achieve our goal for our family. 

Managing money and carrying our financial plans for the family are a must. Here are few things that helped me a lot these days. 

PLANNING  

These days, we need to think new ways to earn more money. Aside from selling graphics online, I was able to sell other things (merch) online and also have passive income by creating content on Youtube and on Tiktok. 

BUDGETING

Eventhough I have several ways to earn money, I have to budget so I can pay all the bills every month and still have for grocery and market. Sometimes it’s hard to budget but thankfully I have a good style in managing that. 

SAVING 

I know it’s pretty tough to save occasionally but I have to. Once I have paid all the bills and bought the essential needs for our home, it’s time for me to save what is left on my wallet. Doing so, I’ll create extra fund for medical emergency and can even allocate some for travel or for a special treat for myself. Buying bags and shoes are my weakness but I have to slowed down on my purchases. Eating out on restaurants is actually not my fave so I guess I’ve been saving quite a good portion of my money on this part.  

I know that not everyone has good financial standings and one of the ways for them to survive is to borrow money. There are actually short-term financial solutions and you can get the cash you need online.

For people who have been struggling with bad credit, it is still possible to get a loan that you need that can be tailored on your capacity to pay. The good thing is that there are many online sites that you can peruse and get more ideas and tips on how they can help you financially. 

Doing some research and asking more information about loans and other stuff are very helpful in your financial strategies and decisions. Just make sure that the financial company that you’ll be engaging with is legit to avoid any scam or problem to arise. Do the research and from there you can review the pros and cons of getting one. Asking a friend who have a good head about financing or a financial adviser to get more advice and this eventually can lead you to a wiser decision.

Almost Lost this Blog.. Yay!

It was about 4 days ago when I saw this blog down. I was worried a bit and was thinking what could have gone wrong. My other blogs with the same domain name server company were up and running so that made me sad. This is what it looks like. 


This is my very 1st domain blog since 2007 and I can’t afford to lose it, I hurriedly went to check on the dashboard to see what had happened. Checked on my domain host server1and1 (now ionos) dashboard to see what might have happened. To tell you honestly, I don’t have much knowledge about redirecting blogs, etc. so I just google searched. Did some few tweaks on my blog and nothing much happened. 

For a while, I disconnected the redirecting of my domain to my blogger blog then putting it back hoping it will work. Can’t seem to redirect it very well, and I was in the brink of calling ionos for help. I disconnected again overnight to refresh all the settings. I am about to give up because I really don’t know what to do eventhough I already saw a tutorial on how to redirect it again. My blog is up but the posts are not showing, so weird and I reckon I need to do some tweaking more. Here's what it looks like :( 


Just last night, I gave it a try again, and it seems that I forgot to put a CNAME on my subdomain that will redirect to google. I set it up and wow, I woke up this morning my blog is back again! Though it will not appear when there is no www but I’m still happy that it is back.  After few hours, when i looked it up again, the problem still exists.., I guess the redirection is still on the propagation process and now it's back again.

Hope the problem will not arise again especially on my other blogs. Ahhh.. thanks to my persistence in trying to save this blog 😊. I’m happy now!

From Blogging to Vlogging

 Wow, life has been so busy for me these past few days and years that I wasn't able to post anything here. There are many things that happened in the last years and as we all know we are in a state of Pandemic since last year 2020. Covid-19 started in Dec 2019 in Wuhan China and rapidly spread all over the world. Right now, our country is still coping to eradicate this deadly virus. There are many health protocols that we need to comply like wearing mask, face shield all the time when we go out. Social distancing, frequent washing of hands and even sanitizing with alcohol is a must as well.

2020 is a very difficult year for most of us, we are all quarantined and stuck in our houses for many days so that virus will not spread rapidly. With nothing to do, I became a plant mom and also have tried baking but oh dear my heart is not for them.

Since youtube is very popular and with nothing much to do, I revived my sleeping Youtube channel and it was on June 13, 2020 that posted a video of me reviewing a hand mixer that I bought for my baking journey. My Youtube channel is TITA JEN . I vlog about shopping, product review, some travel videos and food.

With this way of life, the dollar bill isn’t as important as how sharp your axe is, yet it is still a necessary part of their lives. This is where you, the tourist can come in. Some Alaskans are providing accommodation and teaching time to give keen learners a chance to get a taste of what it is to truly survive. Sleep and hunt in below freezing temperatures, making sure you have enough wood to keep you going through the night to survive. It’s a vacation not for the faint of heart.

Beauty and the Beach

However, depending on your vacation preferences, recovering for a few days by a pool might be a pastime you would do anyway, and having a bonus of feeling better about your body when you get back home might suddenly seem more appealing.

Thailand has really been making itself a name for leading experts in cosmetic enhancement over the last couple of decades. Package vacations can be bought from companies for an all-inclusive experience, or maybe you want to shop around and buy things separately. For instance, one example of a procedure that can be procured, fat transfer to breast Thailand price can be around 180,000 Baht. Factor in recovery time at a hotel and flights, and you might start to think maybe this is the vacation for you after all.

Some pregnancy tests are more accurate than others to this hormone while detecting hcg just days after missing your monthly periods, however a few tests don’t generally discover hcg levels too early after missing the periods. Consequently, most brand kits recommend rehashing the test in a couple of days. Research shows that many women get faulty results 9 days after their last missed period.

It’s the wrong time of day
Be mindful that the timing of the urine specimen can have an impact. It’s most exact to test first thing in the morning, so dependably attempt with your first morning urine (FMU as it’s called). This is the point at which the hcg hormone is thick and can be easily detected.

The urine is too diluted
Don’t drink heaps of water or different fluids in the couple of hours before testing, as this will weaken your urine. Fluids dilute the urine, making hcg level down. Before using your test stick it advisable to hold longer before drinking water.
