Time to get some active wear and start moving

I used to enjoy things like Adventure Bootcamp and the KFM Gun Run. Now I can hardly make it up a flight of stairs without breaking a sweat. What happened to you, Charlene?! Short answer… I got lazy. It’s time to get moving again. But first I have to get some active wear on Superbalist.

Time to get some active wear and start moving

I mentioned in my 10 day detox post that I trialed Aaptiv. I bit the bullet and subscribed for a year. I love this fitness App. I’m starting slowly, but at the end of this year I want to be able to run again. I don’t want to run a marathon; I just want to be able to run around with my kid without feeling like I’m dying. I have zero active wear though. Let me rephrase; I have zero active wear that fits.

Let’s get shopping!

Even though I’m not the ‘dropping the kids at school in your active wear’ mom, Superbalist may convert me…

How gorgeous is this red and white Kappa crew neck sweatshirt?!

Look at the back detail. I freakin’ love it.

It’s bloody cold in Cape Town so I need at least one more warm top. I love the step up hem on this grey textured Cotton On sweatshirt.

Now it’s time to get the active wear that I will actually get active in:

I love the look of the loose fitting Ignite Tank by Puma.

This Puma Explosive cutout tee is a must-have. Black is my colour.

All the bottoms that caught my eye are by Superbalist. Well done guys.

How cute are the polka dots on these black 7/8 length leggings?

Superbalist also have fabulous two pack 7/8 leggings that are great value for money.

I’m not too sure how active I’ll be in the mauve Superbalist joggers… they’re too stunning to sweat in, don’t you agree?! They also come in black and neutral.

For good measure I think I need a pair of new Nike Flex Essential trainers and Skullcandy Ink’d 2.0 wireless in-ear headphones. You know, why’ll I’m at it ;)

Last, but by no means least, I need to shop for the most essential item of the active wear ensemble… The Sports Bra. To check out Superbalist’s amazing range of sports bras click here.

Without the support of a good sports bra, I can forget about any form of cardio. These puppies have been through 6 months of breastfeeding and years of weight loss and gain… they deserve the best.

The Adidas All me sports bra in black & white looks very comfortable and supportive.

Cotton On has a super range of high impact wire free sports bras.

Superbalist also has this gorgeous black and purple two pack that offers great value. The round neckline, removable foam cup inserts and sports crop fit makes it an obvious choice.

So what do you think? No more excuses!

Father’s Day is sorted thanks to Superbalist

Hey moms, I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day. Time to suck it up though as Father’s Day is around the corner. And let’s face it, Mother’s Day is probably the only event of the year that we don’t have to do all the shopping for. Luckily Father’s Day is sorted thanks to Superbalist.

I have my eye on quite a few items in the Superbalist men’s fashion department as my husband’s work wardrobe needs some sprucing up. Read: a very serious overhaul! Father’s Day gives me the perfect excuse to shop for all my favourite items (which I know he will love as well).

Even though Cape Town hasn’t really gotten the memo that it’s officially winter in two weeks, I fear the cold and rain may hit us hard when it does arrive. My husband needs jackets!

When it comes to men’s jackets Superbalist has made sure that we are spoiled for choice.

My no.1 pick for my husband is the Pringle of Scotland Ridge Jacket in navy. It’s simple, classy and warm. Gorgeous.

This Cotton On Airforce Bomber Jacket is perfect for winter as  the plush polyfill adds extra warmth. It looks good too.

The Green Superbalist Padded Parka Jacket gets two thumbs up from me. You can’t go wrong with this 100% cotton jacket.

I really like the extra length and hood. I think I want it for myself; don’t you?

My husband needs work shirts. These Style Republic Button-up Long Sleeve Shirts are absolutely perfect and they are easy on the budget.

My husband is lucky enough to be able to go to work in jeans, but I think it’s time for something new. Style Republic comes to the rescue again with these Neuer Chinos. They are available in navy, khaki and grey and I think he needs all three.

Oh my word… look at this Fossil watch! The face is gorgeous and the brown leather strap finishes it off beautifully. It’s a perfect Father’s Day spoil.

When my husband started his new job a couple of months ago he decided that he wants to wear more colourful socks. I still have no idea where that came from. We are slowly but surely building up his collection (after getting rid of about 10 000 plain black socks) and this Happy Socks Father’s Day Gift Box will ensure that he has happy feet this winter.

I hope you enjoy your Father’s Day shopping spree; I know I will.

Oh, and don’t forget that first time buyers on the Superbalist App qualifies for R250 off (min spend R600)!  The App can be downloaded on Android and iOS.
