My Friday Favorites have been super popular lately so I am glad that I have another round of things I am loving this week!
GapFit gFast Winterbrush Leggings:
I never in a million years thought that GapFit apparel would make it to my favorites list but O-M-G do you need these GapFit gFast winterbrush leggings for running this winter!
My workout apparel posts normally talk all about my love for lululemon and how I never wanted to buy GapFit apparel again because the pants always slid down or didn’t feel right.
Well, I gave these gFast leggings a try because I had a major discount at the Gap to use and I am SO GLAD that I did.
Seriously, these gFast leggings are like second skin. They are SO SOFT (they have some sort of warm winter lining without being too heavy) and fit as if they aren’t even on my body yet they do not slide down. Lately my lululemon pants don’t stay in place and start to slide down in the crotch area. I am constantly tugging and pulling to adjust things while I run which is super annoying.
What I love about the GapFit gFast Winterbrushed Leggings:
Midrise: I thought I liked a high-rise pant for running but I am preferring the midrise much better. They still sit in a good place that isn’t too low (which is maybe because I am not that tall but who knows).
Winter lining: The winter lining keeps the legs warm but I promise, there is no extra bulk.
Pockets: There’s a back pocket zipper in the waistband (which is a must for me!) plus side zip pockets too.
Comfort: Seriously, I put these leggings on and they just feel right. They do not slide down and fit true to size.
Price: I think they are marked $66.95 but the Gap is always running a deal and right now, I believe you can get them for half price or even cheaper! That’s like 3 pairs of leggings for the price of one pair from lululemon!
NARSskin Moisturizers:
I mentioned that I switched to NarsSkin back in October and I am still obsessed with their moisturizers, including their eye cream. NARSskin products are noticeably more hydrating than any skincare product I have used in the past which is especially perfect this time of year.
During the Black Friday sales, I ordered a new container of NarsSkin Aqua Gel Luminous oil-free moisturizer (for the face) and the NarsSkin total replenish eye cream.
While I do realize that skincare products can be expensive, I totally find spending money on taking care of your skin super important. Skincare products (and good makeup) are not the extra-if-I-have-the-money type of expenditures for me like a new shirt or pair of shoes can be.
These skincare products are the part of my routine as the this-is-what-I-need-to maintain-and-survive-life type of purchases. I mean, who wants fine lines, wrinkles and to appear as if they are aging? Not me.
Hershey’s Kisses:
Ever since the holiday party the other night when I took some Hershey’s kisses home from the candy buffet, I can’t get enough.
Once we finished the candy bag that I brought home, I went to Target to buy a nice big bag of Hershey’s Kisses (the plain chocolate! not the other kinds!) because they are totally our thing right now. 🙂
Favorite Link of the Week:
Binge Eating Story & How To Eat Course Launch < – Once again, such an honest post from Kylie of Imma Eat That regarding how restricting her eating would cause her to overeat at night. She had me at the discussion of overdoing the chocolate chips and chocolate covered raisins.
Previous Favorites of Interest:
I have written a few posts on the subject of Trader Joe’s favorites so I thought I would share them again today in case you missed them the first time around!

I think you have just convinced me to buy those leggings! I only have 1 pair of running tights that fit comfortably. The ones i wore today were too short and having my ankles stick out when it feels like 2 degrees is not ideal!!

I definitely recommend these and wanted to say so when I saw your Instagram Friday morning but I was rushed for time!
Yeah, I used to be an anti-Gap body legging person because I paid so much for a pair that do NOT fit right. But now you’ve convinced me to get these ones! I get those online coupons all the time. I’ll snag a pair when I get a good solid 50% off coupon! Thanks Doodles!

aw you remembered my nickname! I am almost positive that everything is 50% off right now at the gap so go check it out!
You can never have too many pairs of leggings. I would never think to look at Gap for workout apparel either! I’ll have to check them out.

I stopped buying their workout stuff for a while but I am glad I gave it another shot!
My current pair of running tights (full length ones) is from GapFit – some pairs slid down but this pair of gFast stays put! I’m super tempted to see if I have coupons for these. It’s been so cold in Seattle that I’m now wishing I hadn’t given away so many pairs of running tights when we moved!

I definitely recommend this pair from the gap! I am pretty sure everything is 50% off right now too!
What experience do you have with the sizes on Gap clothing? I’m 5’5″ and pretty thin, and my sister (same body size) has always said that they didn’t work for her.
so they didn’t work for me until this latest round of experimenting with them! I think they must have changed something because this style isn’t sliding down on me and fit well. I say true to size but if anything, they may run ever so slightly big as compared to lululemon. I am 5’4″ and take the XS if that helps any. I think they are worth a shot! I really like them
Those Gap pants looks awesome! Years ago my Gap leggings were my favorite running pants. Looks like I need to re-up!
It’s not at all cold in SoCal compared to the rest of the country, but it is raining. So weird!
Have a great weekend!

I really love these gapfit pants!
Spending money on skincare cosmetics is never a waste! Literally can’t past a day without skincare routine! I also love NARS skincare stuffs, been a fan for a long time now.
Agree that spending money on taking care of your skin super important, but remember to notice your skincare cosmetics. I only use organic cosmetic, it has natural ingredient and safe for your skin.

yes, the quality is so important! I try to ensure all products are free from parabans and other ingredients that I am allergic to
