Win an eGift card in today's Makeup and Beauty Blog giveaway

Ah… Good old fashioned bribery works every time! My body and brain have been demanding a little extra exercise motivation lately, so I’ve decided to award them with new workout gear.

I figure, if I’m gonna break a sweat, even at times when I really don’t want to, I might as well do it in cute clothes. :)

There were those pieces I liked from Zella, which I’ve heard is like a budget friendlier Lululemon, but I’m a gal who likes options, so I put the question out there on Twitter and asked for recommendations for stylish, sturdy, affordable workout clothes.

A couple of girls mentioned Danskin at Wal Mart, and the Champion line at Target, Old Navy and Gap, so I’ve got a little more to work with now.

Let me know if you have any other ideas for me. The more the merrier.

Now, without further ado…on to the giveaway!

Win a $50 gift card from Sephora

  • One (1) Sephora eGift card containing $50 sent to the winner by email (international readers, you may opt to receive $50 sent by PayPal instead).

  • There are two ways to enter, and you can do both of them for two chances to win. First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, a comment about anything at all, like, if you currently exercise, what’s your favorite workout activity? Do you wear makeup while you exercise? How do you feel about bananas? Do you have a favorite waterproof mascara? Do you have a workout buddy? What’s your most comfortable outfit (not just for exercise but in general)? — you get the idea.
  • Second, you can enter by following me on twitter Twitter @karenmbb and retweeting (RT) the following message:

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

  1. Resa says:

    I always try to take off face makeup when I work out. I don’t want to clog any pores. Sometimes I leave eye makeup on and my non waterproof mascara usually doesn’t run (only a tiny bit on the bottom) :) .

  2. Kayla says:

    I’ve been trying to start working out regularly but I haven’t exactly been successful.

  3. AK says:

    Favorite workout routine: Warm up on elliptical, stair master, then run 1 mile! Do lunges and my blitz ab routine that has been working for years.

    I love Adidas workout clothes. However, there’s an awesome brand called Alo that has caught my eye. LOVE LOVE LOVE their stuff! I’m drooling over some shirts they have.

    Thanks for the giveaway, Karen! Hope you’re having a lovely Saturday so far :D Wish me luck on my tests this next week!

  4. Heather says:

    My favorite workout activity? HIP HOP classes at the gym! I used to take all sorts of dance classes, and hip hop is so much fun to learn!

  5. I’m loving Zumba at the moments it’s so fun I forget it’s exercise :)

    I wear tinted moisturiser or bb cream to the gym with a coat of lip balm , I like to look healthy and glowing during a workout rather than made up x

  6. I dnt workout but if I did I sure wouldn’t be wearing any makeup doing so, maybe some flavored lipgloss and that’s about it.

  7. Selina says:

    I avoid exercising like the plague!

  8. Alexis says:

    I like the workout clothes from Target. It helps that they’re affordable. And yes, I wear makeup when I work out. I wear makeup just about all the time so I would have to wash it off before working out and reapply after working out…. which I think is a little overkill :) . Besides, workouts are good tests of certain types of makeup :) .

  9. Sarah says:

    While working out I don’t usually wear more than under eye concealer and brow powder. I don’t like the feeling and idea of my makeup sweating off so I avoid wearing face makeup.

  10. MysteriousWho says:

    Err… So I broke down and purchased the Guerlain Météorites Cruel Gardenia when I saw it in stock. It’s gorgeous… but I really should be watching my pennies. What to do?!!!?!?!?

  11. KaylaK says:

    I need to start working out! I usually love doing cardio and some weights too. I have the clothes and shoes..I just need to get on a consistant schedule, once I start I know I’ll be okay. It’s been a tough year for my working out resolution since my one workout buddy (best friend/sister) lost her life to ovarian cancer on Valentine’s Day. :( I do wear some makeup when I work out, just a little bit of foundation to even out some post breakout marks, light eyeliner and my favorite mascara to wear with anything. I love Clinique’s Lash Power mascara because it’s water-resistant but comes off with warm water.

  12. Nicole O. says:

    I love MUFE’s Aqua Smoky Lash ! :)

  13. Debbie says:

    I usually wear makeup when I workout!

  14. Tamara D'Amico says:

    I’m watching vintage episodes of Boy Meets World instead of being productive.

  15. Janet says:

    I usually wear a little powder and eyeliner when I go to the gym. I never wear a full face of makeup when I work out, but I don’t go anywhere completely bare-faced either. Never know who you’ll run into. :D

  16. Meredith says:

    I like buying workout clothes but I never seem to work out… hmm, should fix that.

  17. Pam says:

    I found some good workout bras and pants at Marshall’s.

  18. Jane says:

    I have been trying to find a good foundation. I think mufe hd 123 is a good match for me. If I win the gift card I’ll be able to afford it! Yay

  19. mn says:

    Haven’t figured out what can motivate me to work out – guessing ice cream would be counter productive?

  20. Jaa Maurer says:

    I love Zumba!! =D

  21. eRiN says:

    EXERCISE IS THE DEVIL

    xD

  22. Sarah Gravely says:

    I haven’t worked out in forever! Going to start going back to my Zumba classes soon. My workout buddy, my nana, hurt her back. :( When I go to Zumba though, I love to wear tinted moisturizer, lip balm, and maybe a little mascara.

  23. Joanna says:

    I have nothing bad to say about bananas. I should be sick of them by now but I love them. And makeup when you’re working out just sounds uncomfortable and messy.

  24. Joanna M says:

    My metabolism is high so I don’t exercise that much.

  25. Kate Williamson says:

    Yeah!

  26. Kaianne says:

    I just started a new internship this week that may or may not be my dream job – I’m really excited for it but a bit scared to see how well I’ll be able to balance work and school at the same time!

  27. Vanda Petro says:

    I am not exercise, I am too lazy :D but I really should do something…

  28. I don’t work out, I train horses so that’s my exercise every day – I do love workout gear though, and for some reason have a whole drawerful, just in case I guess! Athleta has fab stuff – pricey but very cute:)
    Clare @ The Blossom Shed recently posted … Heavenly Hats

  29. Rae says:

    I now kick box. It’s pretty freaking awesome

  30. Linda says:

    Would looove a $50 eGift Card, French girl trying to come to New York as often as she can :)

  31. Emily says:

    i want to try hot yoga!!

  32. Kate says:

    I don’t want to work on my paper tonight ughh

  33. Maria says:

    My favorite workout activity right now is my Zumba 2 for the Wii…it’s awesome!!

  34. Barbara says:

    I work out at Barry’s Boot Camp in West Hollywood. And I love Lululemon! It’s expensive, but lasts forever and fits the best. I always wear some makeup when I work out. I’m so pale, I at least need blush. LOVE your blog so much!! :)

  35. Ris says:

    I haven’t been able to find a Zumba class that’s convenient, so instead I dance around my room like a crazy person. :D

  36. terri says:

    I love a new workout outfit, too. It really does help to keep me motivated.

  37. Stephanie says:

    I will wear tinted moisturizer and some light concealer when I work out. Nothing more though.

  38. Joya M. says:

    HMMM…I guess I’ll answer ALL of the questions! :)
    I do currently exercise and my current favorite workout activity is definitely running around the lake in my complex. It’s so much easier than crunches and push-ups! I don’t wear makeup when I exercise because I really don’t even like the idea of sweat and makeup coexisting. So, unless I’m going to the gym where there are people I know and I don’t want to be bare-faced around them, I skip the makeup. As for bananas, I like the way they taste, but I hate the texture. My favorite waterproof mascara is Diorshow Waterproof Mascara. I don’t have a workout buddy because I’m not comfortable being super sweaty and gross around other people….yikes! :( I think my most comfortable outfit consists of a T-shirt and comfy sweats.

  39. Step says:

    Usually my exercise of choice is outdoor running, but I’ve been spinning through the winter to maintain endurance and it is awesome.

  40. Jenny says:

    I’ve been following your blog for a couple of years and this is my first time trying for one of these giveaways haha.

  41. Ana says:

    Booked my flight for Switzerland today!

  42. Becca says:

    To be honest, I think it’s a little silly when people wear makeup to the gym-you’re just going to sweat it off! To me, it’s a little bit like putting on makeup before you go to sleep-pointless. Besides, you’d just have to reapply your makeup afterwards anyway since it would be all gross and runny. But, I guess to each his own

  43. Megan says:

    I’m doing boot camp classes for spring break!

  44. Tran says:

    I personally like bananas, but my boyfriend is extremely allergic to them

  45. after workout , wemust banana and blueberry yoghurt.sounds yummy and healthy…..BTw thanx for the giveaway…love u

  46. Ariana says:

    my mom is my workout buddy it’s great :)

  47. t.p. says:

    I love exercise.

  48. Amy says:

    I work out more now than I ever have before, which is saying a lot because I was on active duty for the U.S. Army two years ago. I love weight training and setting new personal records (that’s what keeps me motivated), but my all time favorite thing is running. It can be unenjoyable while actually running, but no other work out I have done can compare to the feeling that running leaves you with. My motivation to keep going is just knowing that after each work out I will be just a tiny bit healthier than I was before. I won’t be just another American suffering from obesity.

  49. When I workout I’m usually not worried about my makeup or what I’m wearing. I just want to be comfortable and presentable. It looks a little ridiculous when I see women all dressed up, with a fresh face of makeup on. Just do you, and wear and do what makes you feel good.

    On another note, I just got out of the military, after being in the Air Force for 8 years, last month, and I’m having a lot of fun with makeup that I was never able to wear before. I started a blog recently and would like to get more members to my page, so your Giveaway idea really gave me some food for thought. I think I’ll be doing a giveaway pretty soon too, so Thank you!

  50. Toni says:

    I love a smokey eye with hot pink lips!

  51. Jennifer says:

    I totally understand, Karen! I like to wear nice gym clothes too when I work. It’s actually a very good extra motivator. When you look good, you feel good and you want to do your best to keep it that way!

    By the way, I LOVE your makeup look in the last post, with the Dolce & Gabbana eyeliners. You looks beautiful!

  52. Elizabeth says:

    i need to start working out and stop just wearing the clothes!!!

  53. Rie Maeda says:

    love running and yoga!

  54. Missey says:

    Hmmm…all I have to say is that your blog is a very bad influence.

  55. Marilyn says:

    I’ve been working out but I hate it! No matter how much I try to get into it… I can’t. But it has to be done. I wanna feel great!

  56. Nancy says:

    I just need to motivate myself to exercise…maybe some new gear would help!

  57. Sam says:

    I eat a lot of bananas and always try to keep it in stock in my apt!

  58. Katelyn says:

    I do DanceIT dance aerobics at my local community center! It is a super fun way to get fit.

  59. Christine says:

    I do martial arts. You feel accomplished as you reach higher levels, plus you’ll (hopefully!) be able to defend yourself in dangerous situations. And be able to do a pushup (that’s my greatest accomplishment, don’t laugh!).

  60. BeckBeck says:

    NY&Co did workout wear a couple years back and I have three outfits from them that I really like – I must have been the only one who did, because I don’t think I’ve seen the line in the store since. I have been terrible about working out and need to start going again, actually.

  61. Terri B says:

    i feel pretty good about bananas

  62. I’m craving a dessert….i should be eating fruit but chocolate cake sounds sooooo much better!

  63. Dovey says:

    This reminds me… I need to exercise!

  64. Joana says:

    ech-eks-eccccch… exxxxercise? nah! never heard of it

  65. Melody says:

    I don’t really have an exercise routine, but my college campus is HUGE and I don’t have a car anyway, so I spend about 45 mins to an hour everyday briskly walking where I need to go. What is silly is that I lug my hand weights with me everytime I move back into an appartment for school, but I never use them. I need to start. :3

  66. Lucy says:

    My favorite comfortable outfit is a cotton jersey empire dress. It’s a long sleeved maxi dress. I have about 5 or them. I wear them while at home. Love them.

  67. Tania says:

    I do try to exercise regularly but since I dislike exercising, I don’t have a favorite activity :)

  68. Izzy says:

    speaking of excercise lol… i need to go to the gym

  69. Vanessa C. says:

  78. steph b says:

    I usually walk, but I just bought an awesome bike!

  79. Amy M says:

  80. Becky says:

  81. Christine says:

  82. Jones says:

  83. Mylie says:

    I need to workout more than I do! Wah.

    My workout partner is my 4 year old daughter. She’s always on me about making sure I exercise. Now that im 5 months pregnant, she makes me get up and move around so that the new baby “has fun”.

  87. Felis says:

    I dance! Three times a week when I’m lucky!

  88. Sunny says:

    I power walk 3 miles every day.

  89. IsabelG says:

    Have you tried Meleau Port from Ports of New York? It is AMAZING!!!

  90. JVieve says:

    To get my best complexion, I try to start my day with a cardio or hot yoga work out to get sweaty. The more sweat, the more dirt and left over makeup get pushed out of my pores. Washing your face with a gel cleanser after exercising will wash away everything that the sweat brings up–creating the perfect slate for skin care and makeup products. Some of my favorite work outs: Jillian Michaels’ Yoga Work Out DVD–it comes with two 30-min routines that I cannot get sick of! :)

  91. Mavel Golden says:

    I like wearing Uggs when it’s cold outside and I hope I win the giftcard.

  92. Z. says:

    I usually work out in the morning, before I shower and get ready for work, so no makeup for me.

  93. Arushi says:

    Hmm… My mom is my workout buddy, and sometimes a good friend of hers, because she likes to run marathon, and I prefer to run vs other ways of exercise. I never work out too much, and I just get lazy. :P

  94. Catherine says:

    Bananas? Love ‘em.

  95. Stacie says:

    I wish I had the energy to work out more but with 2 kids, it’s almost impossible!

  96. CJ says:

    need to get back on track!

  97. Lauren says:

    I just started to eat healthier and workout as well and I feel great! I think that Old Navy has the best workout clothes and they are always on sale! Thanks for the giveaway :)

  98. Christin says:

    When the snow is gone im gonna exercise again :-P

  99. Jen says:

    I would love to get that new Chloe perfume at Sephora, so here’s to being lucky!

  100. Tiffany says:

    I hate running but I make myself do the couch to 10K program just so that hopefully….I’ll enjoy it more after getting better endurance.

    Here’s to hoping!

  101. Katherine says:

    I do heated vinyasa yoga and I never wear makeup when I work out. I sweat wayyy to much and end up wiping the sweat out of my eyes and off of my face that I can’t imagine any would stay on at all.

  102. MelodyJ says:

    I want to try Zumba. Everyone seems to love it. Right now I do Cardio/Strength Intervals, Weight Training, Yoga and Pilates. I love it.

    melodyj(at)gmail(dot)com

  103. Marian says:

    Yes, I exercise. My favorite workout activity is Zumba. I love bananas. I eat one almost daily. I don’t wear makeup when I exercise. My favorite waterproof mascara is Maybelline Full n Soft. I don’t have a workout buddy. My favorite comfortable outfit is leggings, a tunic and boots.

  104. Lisa says:

    Lately, I’ve been doing Crossfit. It’s super fun, and really kicks my butt.

  105. Julia says:

    I don’t work out as much as I want to! Jogging and Yoga are my exercise of choice though

  106. Sydney says:

    I love being on the stationary bike!

  107. Kacey says:

    My only workout buddy is my ipod – though I haven’t been to the gym in ages! I bike everywhere on my college campus, so hopefully that makes up for it (yeah, right lol).

  108. Hazel says:

    Relationships are hard work. :( Have a good weekend, Karen!

  109. Deanna G. says:

    I like the elliptical!

  110. moniquehasana says:

    I am current training myself to run and I add 30 more seconds ever week. Love your blog and God bless

    MoniqueHasana@hotmail.com

  111. Rose says:

    I haven’t found any other workout pants/shorts more comfortable, stylish, durable, and butt-flattering than Lululemon’s. I hate that they’re so expensive, but at least they last a long time. I do go cheap on my non-fashion swimsuits. Sporti bathing suits and bikinis are cute, functional, AND affordable – perfect for swim days and water aerobics (just make sure to size up as they do run small).

  112. Jenn says:

    Need to work out more as I have fallen off the wagon :( But when I do work out its all about the running and the weights! I usually have on makeup as I don’t take off my makeup until the end of the day which is after working out before bed!

  113. Lauren says:

    uh…makeup while I exercise? No way!

  114. Inday says:

    Reading The Illustrated Man right now and really enjoying it!

  115. Rozae says:

    I just think its a hazard to wear makeup while working out. Lately my routine has been starting from Monday, pilates, zumba, yoga, zumba and on Saturdays, weightlifting class. I’ve seen my jiggles don’t jiggle as much, which is a plus but i want a tone, firm body!

  116. Jennifer says:

    I love bananas and my workout of choice would be Zumba… It’s so much fun!

  117. Crittle says:

    Ballet all day everyday

  118. Ramblingdoll says:

    Sunday morning, I take a shower, put on my fave 1989 Levis 501 and my old cashmere sweater, a ponytail, a bit of Stereo Rose on my cheeks for that healthy glow, I groom my brows, a bit of mascara and shiny lip balm, my old baby pink Converse and I take my dog out. And I breathe, breathe, breathe. Feel good. Walk for 2 hours and give a call to a beloved one, for nothing. Just to say “Have I ever told you that I was happy to know you and have you around?” and put a smile on someone’s face. I come back, have a green tea, an apple and simply feel….alive and happy. Another day begins, full of possibilities.

  119. Bonnie says:

    Bananas + Nutella = awesomeness.

  120. Adia says:

    My favorite workout activity is to go shopping lol, I can walk for 3hours without stopping xD

  124. Chanelle says:

    Bananas are cool enough. I had a dream last night where I was eating them.

  125. Flora Novak says:

    My favourite waterproof mascara is MUFE Aqua Smoke <3

  126. Erika Beck says:

    Hot yoga is AWESOME, but unfortunately the one in my city is sooo far away from my house… I love exercise DVDs though, and there is this one really old one called Callanetics that has the best moves… it looks really lame (filmed in the 80s), but once you learn the moves you can mute it and listen to music while you follow it! :)

  127. tabby says:

    It’s been way too long since I’ve gotten to shop at Sephora.

  128. Prady says:

    I have recently started morning walk, its not been even a month but I feel Super through the day and feels like the usual day is just a bit extended with a couple of extra hours! More time, More work, More fun and more life!

  129. Michelle says:

    Favorite workout is probably DANCE CENTRAL!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

  130. Lesley says:

    Happy Sunday!

    I currently work out kind of infrequently. When I do work out, my routine is to run a mile and half on the treadmill and then stumble around the weights section. I typically go to the gym straight from work, so I wear whatever make up I had on that day.

  131. Kaoyee says:

    The only exercising I do is opening the fridge to see what’s inside.

  132. Lisa says:

    Come on lady luck! I have been obsessing over NARS eyeshadows lately. It would be fantastic to indulge in a little retail therapy. Thanks for the giveaway!

  133. Amie F says:

    I love bananas. I fact, I am making banana bread this morning…

  134. Evelyn says:

    I teach Zumba and it is definitely my favourite, but I also run, do step, kickboxing, dance classes, walking….mostly because I really, really like eating.

  135. Jess says:

    I always crush the top of the banana before eating it :P

  136. Marta Sousa says:

    I am trying to keep a make up routine everyday!! :)

    xx

  137. Darlene says:

    Love bananas…love to walk, hike, swim, and dance. Have a beautiful day!

  138. Vanda says:

    definitely no makeup while exercising! :O

  139. JMay says:

    My favourite waterproof mascara is High Impact Curling Mascara

  140. BettyS says:

    My workouts are extremely limited right now; I’m about two weeks away from having a baby. So I’ve totally lost my abs, but that’s okay, because I’ve been working out buns and thighs. I do wear makeup, because I’m not breaking a sweat with the little I can do. Sephora gift card = very good eye cream for very tired mom.

  141. Vanessa G. says:

    I’ve always disliked bananas (unless I also have a dish of peanut butter and honey!). But I’m studying abroad this year, and suddenly a banana among the mounds of oranges and hard pears is so very exciting!

  142. Andee says:

    I love bananas :)

  143. Lisa L says:

    love/hate relationship with my treadmill!

  144. Eli says:

    Exercising: why is it so hard?
    My favorite is the rowing machine, but I’ll be honest: I don,t visitate her (it’s a she!) nearly enough, or at all, in the last weeks. Shame on me!

    thanks Karen!

  145. Y. says:

    I love bananas!! full of potassium!

  146. Grace says:

    Love to exercise, especially Turbo Jam! Makes exercising fun!

  147. Monica says:

    I like bananas and your blog

  148. Missy M says:

    I love zumba, but need to find a way to do it on a regular basis instead of just once a week

  149. LilyN says:

    mMMm…coffee

  150. Kathryn says:

    I like banana bread or banana muffins, but otherwise hate anything with banana!

  151. sara says:

    I love riding my bike, but need to do it more!

  152. Macha says:

    I’ve been trying trying to get back into the workout mode. I went to my gym the other day to try a beginners spinning class but it ass cancelled :(

  153. Krista says:

    I never wear makeup at the gym. It’s so bad for your skin plus you are just going to sweat it off.

  154. Amy says:

    I actually like the treadmill, I have one at home so its easy just to hop on and get a good workout.

  155. quimerula says:

    No workout for me, thanks!

  156. Nina says:

    bad day y’day … one of my car windows got smashed by some punk during the night…

  157. Denise says:

    I just started exercising again after a winter hibernation. I don’t want to deal with my spring and summer clothes being too tight, so I’m upping the activity level now.

  158. Weian says:

    I’m allergic to hazelnuts. :(
    Not nutella for me

  159. mrsshukra says:

    Waiting for the Oscars’s!

  160. Hohe says:

    I don’t wear makeup when exercising.

  161. Bing says:

    Wore EvRev last Sunday to my own babyshower. It was sunshine glory!

  162. I don’t believe you should wear makeup while you exercise. It’s just gonna sweat off anyway. I barely work out but when I do I like to do zumba :)

  163. MMM says:

    Just got a coupon to go out to the club so I would need some hot makeup!

  164. Christina D. says:

    I just recently rediscovered how much I like bananas.

  165. Pansy says:

    I usually don’t wear makeup while I workout.. when I sweat, it tends to drip in my eyes… which means I get make up in my eye! :(

  166. such an amazing giveaway! i love sephora!!! I work out pretty much everyday now doing kickboxing or running. i love it! i have 20 lbs to lose so i’m motivated!! :)

  167. Avery says:

    I like the flavor of bananas, but hate the little strips of icky flesh that peel off, you know?

  168. Jennifer says:

    Love your blog! :)

    I just ordered Nails Inc.’s Baker St. and cannot wait till I try it on. I love bright, vibrant blues!

  169. Mimsy says:

    I never wear makeup when I exercise.

  170. gia says:

    i don’t exercise much, but when i do, NO MAKEUP!! i don’t want my sweat mixing with my makeup and clogging my pores yuck

  171. jasmine says:

    I love all of the random questions you ask. I happen to love bananas. Let’s see, it’s cold and it snowed 7 inches where I live. Perfect for skiing! This is me trying to make the best out of winter. Anyway love your blog! Pc

  172. Gala says:

    ZUMBA! yeah baby

  173. Justine says:

    I’ve been lusting over hosiery and tights lately even though it’s too cold here for me not to cover my legs in thick layers!

  174. Cassidey says:

    I try not to wear makeup when exercising.

  175. Jennifer says:

    My kitty Rocco says “Meow” (hello) to you and Tabs! :)

  176. Clara says:

    I don’t wear makeup when exercising- it’s just too gross. And my favorite waterproof mascara is Blinc- it’s not the greatest in a lot of ways, but the fact that it is SO easy to remove and yet never comes off during the day makes it my favorite.

  177. kalcedon says:

    I never wear make-up while exercising. I find it kind of pointless… for me, exercising/gym is not a place to flaunt my making-up abilities… and after all, I’m going to end up looking a washed-up zombie with sweat all around, and a little bit of eyeliner wouldn’t help my look, either :D . Also, only a certain amount of make-up products are really that long-lasting not to start pouring down on my face after sweating, and I sweat badly (+ somewhat oily skin)… and most of those stuff are not in my budget. so… yeah. that’s it :) .

  178. Sarah C says:

    I love bananas! Great for cramps!

  179. Tess says:

    Just had a banana actually!

  180. Sarah says:

    I’m excited to start exercising again when the snow melts!

  181. Jenna says:

    I hate working out!

  182. Lydia says:

    My favorite workout activity is Zumba!

  183. Amy C. says:

    I like working out to exercise videos in the comfort of my home (no makeup required!)

  184. Melodyy says:

    I am mildly allergic to bananas sadly, but I still eat it (: haha. i do not wear makeup when I work out, afraid it’s gonna sweat off my face and make it look blotchy so I don’t really see a point! (:

  185. Stephanie says:

    I’m enjoying a Storage Wars marathon, happy Sunday!

  186. Helen says:

    I don’t wear makeup when working out! I am drinking iced coffee right now, and it isn’t even warm out!

  187. MizJawnson says:

    My clothes have to be comfortable when I work out. Most especially: NO WEDGIES! I’ll deal with sweat. I’ll deal with hair flopping in my face. I will not deal with wedgies. I’ve actually stopped a work out because it was so uncomfortable.

  188. Anna says:

    I must start working out again…

  189. Rho says:

    Generally, I don’t like exercise. However, I don’t mind it if I’m doing something fun. Currently, I keep in shape by taking Karate.

  190. Tiffany says:

    I change into my gym clothes ahead of time so that when I actually head to the gym it seems like less of a chore

  191. Lili says:

    I try to workout everyday

  192. amanda says:

    Hello Karen! Hope I win! :) Oh yes, and I work out maybe only once a week, but I do walk about 3 miles a day with my doggie!

  193. Lesleyk says:

    Ooh, exercise! I love the Les Mills classes, particularly BodyStep and BodyCombat for cardio and BodyFlow for some stretching and strengthening.

  194. Cynthia Morris says:

    I like to look cute at the gym. You never know when your gonna meet a cutie ;)

  195. Amanda says:

    Bananas are good! Always take a banana to a party.

  196. Riley says:

    Swimming is the best workout because it doesn’t strain your muscles. :) Although, the chlorine is a downer

  197. Janet says:

    Dance is my favorite workout activity!

  198. Jess says:

    I know it’s expensive, but I still think Lululemon makes the most awesome workout gear!

  199. Cindy says:

    My go to workout is just running. However, I’ve been thinking about trying spinning just because I’ve search that it’s such an intense workout – but I’m scared to try!

  200. Melissa says:

    I am home sick with strep throat today, so my comfy “outfit” is my pajamas!

  201. Helen Callis says:

    I’m not working out much at the moment (gasp!) but when I do I always take off my makeup beforehand, usually with a MAC wipe. My most comfortable outfit is my DKNY velour tracksuit since it’s soft and flexible.

  202. AAJ83 says:

  203. Olivia says:

    My current favorite mascara is the Clinique Lash Power mascara!!

  213. Wynell says:

    I hate bananas lol

  214. brittany says:

    oooh can’t wait!!

  215. JaneH says:

    loving Revlon’s nail polish in “carbonite.”

  216. chibicheeks says:

    I’ve been doing Zumba with my mom at one of our local gyms. It’s a fun way to do cardio :)

  217. suzanna says:

    I just leave my makeup on, even though i swim or sweat a lot.

  218. nekosan says:

    Dance Dance Revolution!!

  219. Joy says:

    I love bananas!

  220. Quinctia says:

    I am so not a fan of waterproof mascara. It just seems to go on thinner and even shinier, which I don’t like. It’s not the actual fact of whether it’s washable or not that I mind–I use some longwear shadow sticks and waterproof liquid liner and don’t have a problem with using some remover to get it off.

  221. Catherine says:

    I don’t like eating bananas straight up, but I do love them dipped in chocolate and frozen. Also in smoothies.

  222. Sue C. says:

    Bananas are my favorite fruit, so portable and easy to eat. I try to walk at least 10,000 steps a day and do some videos for aerobic activity – usually before I’ve put on my makeup.

  223. Kim D. says:

    I just can’t find the time to exercise. Thank you for the chance!

  224. Lina says:

    Ah, favorite comfy outfit would be my fiance’s boxer shorts and an old tshirt! Lol!

  225. Jenn says:

    Favorite workout routine is dashing from my 11:45 class to my 11:50 MWF mornings! Haha.

  226. elle says:

    I danced A LOT yesterday and now my calves are super sore. D;

  227. Rachel says:

    Love this blog! Have you tried blind mascara?? Love it!

  228. Agata says:

    My favorite waterproof mascara is MUFE Aqua Smoky Lash or Maybelline the Falsies Mascara from a drugstore.

  229. Liz says:

    I love, love, love my yoga. I started doing it about a year after I hurt my back, as a progression from the physical therapy I was doing. I like that it can be as easy or hard as you like, depending on how you’re feeling. I also like how non-competitive it is. The fact that it also encourages meditation and a holistic approach to health doesn’t hurt either.
    Liz recently posted … Laura Mercier Stickgloss: Courtesane

  230. Monica says:

    I love wearing a little bit of makeup to work out – it gives me that extra boost to keep going :-)

  231. Kathy says:

    I work out in the morning, so I don’t even bother with makeupsince I’ll be showering and it’ll wash all off anyway!

  232. laura says:

    i don’t work out, I’m too lazy! nah, maybe 3x a week I walk on the treadmill
