Looking Good While Working Out

Do you remember the days when you walked into a gym that heads didn’t turn to look and judge you upon what kind of sporty, stylish work-out clothing you are wearing? You used to just pull out an old t-shirt and a pair of shorts or pants. Now-a-days it's all about who wears what, even in a gym.

You could go out and spend $50-$60 dollars on a cute stylish sports bra, and then spend even more on the rest of the outfit. Brands now have moisture wicking materials, materials that keep you cooler in the heat and even ones that keep you warmer in the winter time. You can get one shirt in a million different colors. Headbands to keep your hair back. A cute water bottle and even a stylish work out bag to go along, in which it all could even be the same color!

They have all different brands from Under Armor, Nike, Hanes, Champion, and Zorrel. Most clothing companies end up coming out with some type of athletic apparel. Don’t get me wrong a lot of these new stylish athletic clothing can get pretty expensive, but you don’t necessarily buy straight from the company. You could purchase the same clothes almost up to 50% cheaper and not even realize it until after you purchased it at full price. Sometimes you could even find one of the articles of athletic apparel to be worn for many different occasions, not just for working out but for every day use.

Quick Tip for Looking Great

Coming from a women’s perspective in this day and age one of the most looked at thing as far as outfits go is matching. For instance say you’re at the mall or even just a clothing store and you see someone with a light pink shirt with blue socks and neon green shoes, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? “WOW that outfit is phenomenal!” No. The most likely thought in your mind is “What were they thinking when they woke up and got dressed this morning?!”

In this decade your most judged by your peers on appearance sadly, it’s true. Plus most of us women want to look decent, even if you didn’t get all dolled up. For instance say you want to wear your favorite distressed jeans with a couple patches that have a white background and green floral design, most of us are not going to wear a bright yellow t-shirt. Most likely you are going to match that green floral design with maybe a white, or even brown cute v-neck shirt and showing underneath is a green tank top or even spaghetti strap.

There are two reasons you would do that. One being that green undershirt is going to match that adorable floral design on your favorite distressed pants, and two the white v-neck is going to match the background of the floral patch. Also the v-neck with the spaghetti strap or tank layering underneath is going to give you a more conservative look in the case the v-neck it may be a little too low-cut. With matching you could even go further than just layering, or picking out other colors that go with your main color. You could add a cute belt, headband, bracelet, necklace, or even a stylish flower to pin into your hair.

Backlinks, SEO and more

So if you watch anything coming out of Google then you get the distinct impression that doing any SEO is bad however getting a decent rank on Google, Bing or Yahoo without any SEO is pretty much impossible. I decided to check around and see what kind of decent quality backlinks I could find. I was suprised that I was able to easily get backlinks from MTV, Google, Joomla and Good magazine pretty easily. What really added icing to the cake is the 4 of these are actually interesting to me so I won't just pick up a back link and never return. Anyhow here's a couple of them that I thought topped the list in interesting.

The Art of the Deal

It's been a long time since our last post. A while back we purchased CarefreeCausals.com and I have been crazy busy trying to get that up to date. I was in the warehouse late last week and I was looking at the "dead" inventory that was hanging around. It got me to thinking that while even though it's just taking up space to me, it's priceless to someone else.

I figured that since fall is coming I may as well get a few items out that I could sell way below my cost and see if there's any interest. So here's some of the fun stuff I found:

Heavy Duty Rain Hat
This is one of those heavy duty rain hats like the lighthouse keepers wear. Their all bright yellow and most have some sort of screenprint on them but if you don't really care what they look like then your going to love the 49 cent price tag!! My original cost on these was $3.50 or $4.00 each and I took one home just because of the monsoons we have here in Arizona. It definitely did the job even though it wasn't the prettiest thing in the world. By the way that's Cassy from our Customer Service Department. She was my unwilling model for this picture.














Ladies' Hip-Length Brushed Canvas Jacket

This is a fun little jacket that we have had for a while. I decided that I wanted to give you a deal and make a little extra room in the warehouse. I cut the pricing on these down to $3.99 each. That puts them at way less than wholesale price. Their available on Carefree Casuals now and I don't have a lot of them.














Lined Coaches Jacket

This is a nice lightweight coaches jacket that I picked up from tact squad for a contract we had. We all know how much spare money the government has to throw around so they canceled the order before delivery. This means I have a bunch of really nice coaches jackets in orange that are taking up space and I need to clear them out. If your interested I have them up on Carefree Casuals for only $2.99 each plus there's no mark ups on the larger sizes!!

This is just a few of the items that I found and I still have lots more. If there's something that your looking for let me know and I'll see what I have available.
