Multi Kaleidoscope Workout Racerback c/o Lucy (on sale here) | Black Pocket Capri Legging c/o Lucy (here) | White Running Shoes Nike | If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you’ll know I was traveling through Japan with my SO/photographer Armando. I can’t wait to share some more photos in future posts, but I couldn’t wait to share the workout outfit I packed to take with me during my trip courtesy of Lucy Activewear.

I packed this multi kaleidoscope racerback and black pocket capri leggings to fit in a couple workouts while I was vacation. This look had been my go-to outfit choice for hot yoga and for afternoon runs before I left and isn’t something I plan to stop wearing anytime soon. Armando and I returned with a lot endurance and strength in our legs from all the walking we did sightseeing in Tokyo and Kyoto and, thanks to the release of Pokemon Go, we’ve been able to keep the momentum going with afternoon walks.

Our goal is to eat healthier and to workout together more now that he is done with school. I tend to be a little more motivated when there is someone working out with me, but I am really pumped up about working out when I have new workout gear to wear. I have another pair of leggings I’ll be using for an upcoming yoga class, but these pocket capris are extremely versatile. I wore them on long train rides and during our flight back and I could see them dressed up for a relaxed Sunday in the city wit an oversized tee and my denim jacket.

Looking forward to sharing more fitness gear posts. What is your go-to luck when you need to get up and go?

Bike Ride

Jacket Members Only, T-Shirt and Jeans Forever 21, Sunglasses Ray Bans, Sneakers Converse, Road Bike Schwinn Women’s Wayfarer
Saturday was spent biking around in San Francisco. Armando and I rode up and down the streets of SF looking for “the Wiggle”. We were lost at first, but found it and rode it to Golden Gate Park. We had a few snacks, and the weather was perfect for our bike trip.
I wore my Members Only jacket to match the pink detail of my bike. I like how my helmet and jacket make me look like I am going to race.
Off to bake cupcakes for a birthday party. I will make sure to share photos tomorrow too!

Paint Ball

Posted on April 17, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Bang! Bang! Bang!
Shots fired from an enemy bunker, and as I emerge from hiding to make a shot, I get hit right in the eye.
Thank goodness this is just paintball.
I had never played the sport before, and it was not a typical thing I would do on the weekend, but some buddies at the office I work at play once a month and I was invited to come with this time. I think they may have underestimated my ability despite playing for the first time. That and maybe because I am a girl.
I would not call myself a tomboy in the strictest sense especially when I have shown I love to dress up, wear dresses and high heels. Even though I am really girly, I like to try new things and grew up with two older brothers who never treated me like a princess. So while my parents gave me Barbies, my brothers let me play video games and with their old toy cars. I wanted to be like Barbie with her endless amount of clothes and pink dreamhouse (and Corvette), but it was also fun playing video games and playing rough with the boys. Playing paintball seemed like just another game from my childhood.
Except this time getting pelted by paint balls would hurt more so than I remembered from any game from my childhood.I felt the adrenaline rush as I aimed and shot at an enemy hiding behind a hay stack and when I ducked to avoid their shots. Some games I lasted a real long time, and until the end at one point. Others I was hit right away, and I preferred being shot in the mask than anywhere else. I hit some people, which made getting hit almost insignificant. Maybe I enjoyed my experience too much, because I honestly felt so pumped and did not feel the pain of most of my wounds until I returned home. The only hit I felt sting immediately was one right on my collar bone. It left a mark, as did the other hits on my thighs (and one on butt) but it did not mean I could not dress well the next morning. I woke up a little sore, but I would do it again. Especially with my own equipment. And I would girl it up since I saw another girl there with her Hello Kitty barrel cover.
Paintball is not just for the guys;)
