Friday Faves

First things first, I would like to angrily shake my fist at Hurricane Irene for destroying my NYC plans this weekend. After much deliberation it was decided that only having one good day in NYC (today) and then possibly being stranded there for who knows how long as she pummels the east coast was not the right conditions for an amazing NYC trip. Rebooking said trip is now underway and there's rumor it will be rescheduled in a different awesome city during a certain race weekend...

Now on to something that doesn't suck, my list of Friday Faves. (I believe Aron started this Friday feature long ago and as we all know I don't have much to blog about these days, instead have become the recycler of other people's post ideas! Yay!)

adidas TECHFIT Tank (From Zappos, hello free shipping!)

I cannot even begin to list all the reasons why I love this top! First off it's so breathable, light, thin and LONG! Second, there's no built in bra. Let's face it, I don't need any extra support up top and I don't know about the rest of you, but I find more oft then not that when I wear a top that has a built in bra I feel suffocated. Then add in the more feminine cut as opposed to most of the options you get out there and I'm in love. In short, I've been living in this top for the gym/rides, have it in white and pink, and seeing as it's on sale will def be picking up the other colors now too.

Wearing my white one. L-O-V-E

Jane Nearly Foundation Tinted Moisturizer (Discovered on the "13 Best Tinted Moisturizer" list and found at my local Meijer Grocery)A few months ago I realized that wearing only moisturizer and blush was just not working with evening out my aging complexion. A friend introduced the idea of a tinted moisturizer to me knowing I am not a fan of the way makeup feels on my face. (It's worth mentioning that between my uber paleness and super sensitive skin, it's hard to find makeup to match my skin and that doesn't cause a reaction) I read over the list of products reviewed in that link above and decided to start from the bottom and work my way up... But I didn't have to go far because this $4.99 Jane tinted moisturizer works fabulous for me! It doesn't smell, goes on really light, doesn't aggravate my skin and really evens out my complexion. I am in love!

Nivea Sun-Kissed Radiant Skin Fair to Medium (Found at Target)

By this point you've all probably noticed that anytime my legs are in a pic they are glowing with their radioactive day-glo paleness that blinds the eyes. Yeah I get it, I'm a redhead and that's normal, but that doesn't mean I have to like it! I've tried a million and one different "gradual tan building moisturizers" and they all end up smelling horrible and leaving streaks. Until I came across this gem! The smell is, dare I say, pleasant. Light and hardly noticeable. The cream itself is white, which means it's not going to stain up your hands if you forget to immediately wash them after application, and it doesn't irritate my above mentioned sensitive skin. I picked this up on Sunday and used it all week so I'd have a hint of color for this weekend and it worked better than anything I have EVER used. Best part, no streaks. If you're a Casper like me who covets a sun kissed glow, pick this up.

And that's it for faves for this time. Happy Friday peeps! May you all have a fantabulous weekend that doesn't get ruined by the hurricane! To those of you on the east coast, having lived in Florida for 11 years, I know how scary these things can be, please be safe!
