MeUndies! The Most Comfortable Underwear You Will Ever Own!

I recently came across this awesome new company called MeUndies. They are based in the US! There products are all made in LA. They sell very comfortable underwear,t shirts, and socks. I received a pair of women's briefs(pictured below) as well as a women's v-neck t shirt(pictured below). The minute I took them out of the package, I knew they would be one of the most comfortable pair of underwear I had ever owned. The next day I wore them for the entire day. My job requires a lot of getting up and moving around and sitting in chairs and I am use to getting wedgies even with other brands "super soft" underwear, but I had no problem with MeUndies. They fit perfectly and don't ride up. I also loved the grey v-neck shirt. It was made out of a soft material and didn't shrink up like many of my other t shirts. I highly recommend checking out MeUndies! They have the best underwear that money can buy! Try them out!

DIY Canvas Art!

I am an avid Pinterest viewer and I always see these beautiful DIY canvas art photos and always feel inspired to try it and I finally went to Michaels and bought the goods!  I recommend going to Michaels for canvases,paint, & brushes because you can use their 40-50% coupons on the canvases.( http://weeklyad.michaels.com/coupons/). Other places such as JoAnns you are aren't able to use coupons on canvases. Luckily my Mom had 100+ different acrylic paints I could use.  

So here we go! 

Things you will need! 
-Canvas
-Acrylic Paint ( a variety of colors & then either black, white, or gold for the herringbone lines)
-Thin Painters tape
-Paint brush ( between .5"-1.5" wides)


The only thing I needed to buy was canvases so I bought a 5 pack of 16" by 20" from Michaels for $12( I used a 40% coupon). (http://www.michaels.com/Artist%27s-Loft%E2%84%A2-Necessities%E2%84%A2-16in-x-20in-Super-Value-Canvas-Pack/fa1697,default,pd.html?cgid=products-artsupplies-canvas-valuepacks) 

I was inspired by this blog! http://www.ateaspoonofhappiness.com/diy-canvas-art-the-pinterest-challenge-1/

I decided to do 3 connecting canvases. I wanted one with pink & purple tones, one with blue, green and yellow, and one that tied to two together with pink, purples, blues, and greens. 

1. Here is a look at the strokes and crossover strokes that I used. There really is no right way to do it. Just add colors where you think they should go and try and have a variety of directions.

2. Once your canvas is 99% color let it sit and dry for about 1-2 hours till you can touch the paint .

3. Take your painters tape and start making lines going in different directions leaving roughly a 1/4-1/5 inch between the strips of tape. Leaving a couple of spots blank. Personally I taped it all up and then took between 3-5 small strips off to give it a little more variety. Like the photo below!

4. After it is all taped up take your line color, I used white and gently tab it through the tape canals. I used a circular foam sponge brush so that I wouldn't have to worry about having the white blur under the tape. 

5. After it is all painted let take all the tape off right away and let it dry on a flat surface for a couple of hours.

6. Voila! All done! If you have any questions leave a comment or email maxwe135@umn.edu

My Second Ellie Order!

As I posted earlier this year I recently became a brand ambassador for Ellie Workout wear. I received my first package from them in February  and I have been loving my love struck leggings & kiss me capris! I wear the gear non-stop! I don't think I have ever owned such comfortable breathable workout wear! I own Lululemon but they can get kind of thick and sweaty. Where my Ellie gear has the right amount of thickness without making me overheat! The quality is excellent!  Made in the USA! The fit is amazing!  I am very impressed with how well their clothing is made and the quality of the fabric and how soft it is. I am truly in love with Ellie! 

Every month they come out with a new line of tanks, shirts, shorts, leggings, and capris!  They are very true to size as well,I order a  small  top and I usually wear a small or medium I wear a 34B and it fits me perfectly! The leggings are a small and fit me like a glove!

So for the month of March- The Little Black Collection 

I ordered the Back in Black Tank! ( Pictured right <3 <3 <3).

I love this shirt so much! I feel sexy when I wear it whether its to go workout at the local rec center or when I wore it out on the town with my friends to go sing karaoke! Just a warning you are going to look hot in it and you will be noticed by members of the opposite gender! I am currently wearing this shirt as I type this review and I never want to take it off! The fabric is very breathable yet not see through. The built in sports bra covers everything it needs to so you don't have to worry about popping out ever. I really hope Ellie comes out with a neon collection and makes this shirt with a hot pink sports bra! 

The second piece I received was the little black leggings( pictured lower right). The fit again is just amazing! The fit me exactly like my wonder unders but they are not as thick making them the perfect pants! You know how everyone says every girl needs a little black dress... every girl needs a little black legging by Ellie! The quality is great! They don't stretch out after almost a full day of wear. They are my new go to pants! 

I love Ellie! I hope if you haven't tried out their product you do! Since I am a brand ambassador if you use this link you get 20% off!!! :)

Being an athlete, I am always on the lookout for cute & inexpensive athletic clothes. About 2+ months ago I came across this company called Ellie. I was able to get my first order of 2 pieces for only $39.95 +s/h. This came about a month after I had purchased my first pair of Lululemon wunder unders. I had become obsessed with leggings. So instead of buying another pair of $90 pants I thought I would give Ellie a try.  I ordered the Love Struck Legging & the Kiss Me Capri  (pictured below)

I was so excited to get my package in the mail! It came in a large hot pink bubble envelope! How cool!!! I had high expectations for this product and they were exceeded.  I was very happy! I usually wouldn't buy a pair of leggings that had a stripe down the side but I feel like it is so stylish! The fabrics are very soft and stretchy but, they don't bag out like some fabrics do. Ellie's 4 way stretch fabric is definitely comparable to lululemons. I found that Ellie's fabric that was used to make the LSL & KMC are a little bit lighter weight then lululemons but I actually prefer that. This way I can wear them in the winter,spring, & fall! 
​
I will definitely become a repeat customer. Another really cool thing about Ellie is all of their clothes are made in the USA! YAY!  Ellie makes terrific clothes for under $25 a piece. How can I say no! :)
