Happy Monday babes! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! As always, mine was a bit too short but I can't complain. As I've previously mentioned, Disney Springs has undergone a MAJOR overhaul recently, to the point where if you haven't bee there within the past year, you probably wouldn't even recognize it! One of the things I love about the new Disney Springs is the shopping. There is enough shopping to keep a girl occupied for hours and one of my favorite skincare stores just opened there this weekend, Kiehl's. 

I was invited to the grand opening of the new Kiehl's store at Disney Springs so after work on Friday I headed down there to check it out (and hopefully not go broke from all the shopping!). One of the main things I love about Kiehl's is that their products are truly high-end, luxurious products with a more affordable price tag and their employees are SO knowledgeable. If you have any concerns or problems just let them know and they can provide you with some excellent product suggestions and even some fun samples to try out! Ok, now back to the new store... Located in the "Town Center" section of Disney Springs (which is basically in the center), it's nestled dangerously next to Anthropologie, Zara and Sephora. The inside of the store is different from any of the other Kiehl's according to it's president, Chris Salgardo. It's also one of the larger stores so if you can't find it there... you might not be looking hard enough ;) And for a blogger like myself, there is no shortage of gorgeous Instagrammable spots! Not sure what products you want to take home? No problem, just test them out! In the center there's a test area where you can sit and try out almost all the products, speak with a professional and get suggestions and figure out what's best for you. I got to go home with a few products to try out during the event and a few extra samples from one of the amazing employees that I can't wait to share with you guys later this week! Be sure to stop in the brand new Kiehl's if you're at Disney Springs, and don't forget to take a few pictures while you're in there, you won't regret it I promise!

Happy almost Friday friends! You all know how much I love to get a good workout in, but with my work schedule I find it much harder to get to the gym and especially classes. One of the things I miss most about my new hectic schedule is finding time for yoga. Not only does yoga allow me to center myself, relax and get a good workout in, it also means I get to wear cute workout clothes! This week I was fortunate enough to join a group of wonderful ladies from the Central Florida Lady Bloggers to attend a private class at ballball Yoga Gear and Activewear.


ballball is not your average yoga shop, it's a yogis heaven. It's the only place that you can find over 40 different yoga and activewear/athleisure/lifestyle brands all in one store! From clothing to mats, jewelry, books, accessories, towels and even S'well bottles; ballball has it all!


After getting a private tour of the store which includes artwork from local artists (more on that later!), and a giant dressing room decked out to resemble a yoga studio we checked out one of the coolest features of the store; a yoga mat testing center. Yup, you read that correctly. A yoga mat testing center. To be honest, I had never really paid much attention to the difference between yoga mats but after seeing this I have to tell you, there's a difference.


We all got the chance to select our own mats and practice on them in a 45 minute yoga session led by a local yoga instructor from a near by yoga studio. The yoga session was just what I needed to unwind from a long day and get my chakras balanced.


As if what I've told you about ballball wasn't unique and great enough, the local artwork I told you about earlier? Some of those artists have partnered with ballball's private yoga attire brand, Yogavated to create one of a kind yoga pants. When they say one of a kind, they really mean it so if you love a design you better jump on it fast because once they're sold out of a design they reach out to another local artist to design a new pair and the old designs are gone forever.
