  • I made new friends who were once silent readers and now have stretched, foam rolled, and kicked their butts with me in events and classes!

While I would love to share each and every product with you all that I receive to review, sometime it isn’t that easy! But, over the next few weeks I will have 2-3 giveaways for you guys from some of my favorite brands like Five Bamboo!

    What a swell giveaway, Ashley! Hope you’re continuing to have a blast in Hawaii 🙂

    I swear by Bath & Body Works foaming soaps. Other than that, I really need help with my entire routine so this would be magical to win 😉

  2. Krissy @ Shiawase Life April 20, 2012 / 7:10 pm

    A topic I’d like you to address in the future….BIG future fitness goals!

  3. Andrea April 20, 2012 / 7:11 pm

    My most unique beauty item is Clinique Dark Spot Corrector (due to being a poor-applier of sunscreen in the past.)

    Question: you always seem to have so much going on and you work full-time. What are some time-saving tricks you’ve learned so you can balance everything?

  4. Sari April 20, 2012 / 7:14 pm

    the best product I have is definitely Olay total effects 7-in-1 daily moisturizer + touch of sun!! it is such a lightweight product and definitely makes you look like you spent a little time in the sun 🙂

    What are some of your favorite NYC places to go to in the spring/summer time??

  5. Susan April 20, 2012 / 7:24 pm

    I love Olay face products, especially the lotions with sunscreen for daytime.

    A topic that would be great is the details of when you and Bo cook easy dinners- always interesting to learn new meals!

  6. megan April 20, 2012 / 7:25 pm

    hmmm.. most unique product…my deep cleansing shampoo because our hard water is out of control!

  7. Liz Marchese April 20, 2012 / 7:26 pm

    My most unique product I would swear by is Vaseline!!! It’s great for dry skin, any skin irritant and for your lips! I use it every night!

  8. Abby April 20, 2012 / 7:33 pm

    I always try to moisturize my face right after i get out of the shower .. i find that it helps my skin stay soft.

  9. Abby April 20, 2012 / 7:34 pm

    I would like you to discuss more Savannah hotspots 🙂 I live there now and i am always looking for new and interesting places to try

  10. kristin April 20, 2012 / 7:35 pm

    my most unique beauty product would be using neosporin on blemishes. thankfully i dont get them that often, but i have found that a dab of neosporin on a pimple really clears it up faster than any acne medication out there.

  11. Jill April 20, 2012 / 7:36 pm

    My favorite beauty product is Moroccan oil for my hair. It takes my curly to a level of sophistication I never thought possible with no effort at all.

  12. Liz April 20, 2012 / 7:37 pm

    I never thought I would be a Mary Kay girl but ever since I tried the medium coverage foundation my life has ever been the same.

  13. Megan April 20, 2012 / 7:43 pm

    I love Josie Maran argon oil – I use the regular oil as a face moisturizer under my makeup in the morning, the foundation on a daily basis, and the hair serum when I need some extra shine. It’s expensive, but lasts a while and is totally worth it!

  14. clare @ fittingitallin April 20, 2012 / 7:44 pm

    I use ponds cold cream – it’s kind of old ladyish I guess, but super hydrating and gets off my eye makeup!

  15. Aditi April 20, 2012 / 7:44 pm

    What a great giveaway! I have recently discovered the use of apple cider vinegar (diluted) as a toner and it has been great so far!

  16. Aditi April 20, 2012 / 7:45 pm

    I would love for you to talk more about your favorite places in NYC for beauty and make-up!

  17. lindsay April 20, 2012 / 7:50 pm

    does aquaphor count as a beauty product? you can use that for everything. but fine – if i had to pick an actual product, it would be my tarte cheek stain. perfect!

  18. margaret April 20, 2012 / 7:52 pm

    my beauty secret is perfume bath soap, like trish mcevoy, by using the soap instead of perfume, the scent is so subtle and delicate, always makes me feel great, instead of bathin in perfume sprays.

  19. Katie April 20, 2012 / 7:52 pm

    What a great giveaway! I cannot survive the winter without Aquaphor! It has saved my lips and skin.

  20. Christina April 20, 2012 / 7:53 pm

    My most current beauty item is the Clarisonic. It’s sort of pricey but I’ve heard it works miracles on your skin. I guess we’ll see! I’ve only been using it for 2 weeks!

  21. Julia April 20, 2012 / 7:53 pm

    As for favorites, I use baby oil to take off eye makeup, and recently tried the Garnier dark spot face lotion… it actually does brighten my skin!

    And I guess my most unique routine is that I try not to wear mascara during the week. I love curling my eyelashes and wearing a ton of mascara, but I know it’s hard on them–so during the week, I usually go for the Naked Face Project (haha) and then I feel better about glamming up on the weekend!

  22. Christina April 20, 2012 / 7:54 pm

    I live in Brooklyn so obviously I love hearing about local runs 🙂 I’ve been running about a year and I still feel really “new” to it. Almost like it’s too hard on my joints. 🙁 I think maybe I’m a short distance (wanna-be) runner? lol

  23. Julie P. April 20, 2012 / 7:56 pm

    My favorite-at-the-moment moisturizer is a kit by Aveeno. Lovin’ the Mauii pics…brings back fond memories of my honeymoon 🙂

  24. Julie P. April 20, 2012 / 7:57 pm

    A topic to discuss on the future..hmmm, maybe healthy nighttime snacks….something I continually struggle with!

  25. yvette urteaga April 20, 2012 / 7:58 pm

    Ashley,

    I have loved your Hawaii pics. I can’t live without Maybelline Define a Brow liner. I buy them three at a time because my puny/sparse eye brows can’t be seen without it.

  26. yvette urteaga April 20, 2012 / 7:59 pm

    I would love to see more meal ideas for working couples. We try to plan and cook but take out is easier ;o)

  27. Alex April 20, 2012 / 8:00 pm

    Your vacation looks beautiful and relaxing. So jealous. I swear by crest white mouth wash. I use it everyday and I swear it is the only thing that keeps my teeth looking their best without the over sensitivity.

  28. Alex April 20, 2012 / 8:01 pm

    I think it would be great if you could address how to handle a busy schedule, long days and still being healthy. I know you do that a lot but I really get a lot from those balance posts.

  29. Lesley April 20, 2012 / 8:01 pm

    One beauty things I do without fail is immediately after shower I put cocoa butter on my skin –I swear it makes my skin healthier!

  30. Lesley April 20, 2012 / 8:02 pm

    I don’t know if this is too personal, but I’d be interested in a post on how you and Bo manage to have quality time together despite busy schedules.

  31. Jordan W. April 20, 2012 / 8:04 pm

    Befine exfoliating cleanser and moisturizer are my new favorite products, which I discovered from Birchbox (I subscribed after I saw it on your blog – best decision ever)!

  32. Jordan W. April 20, 2012 / 8:05 pm

    I would love to see more topics on the beauty products you love and time organization tips.

  33. Erin April 20, 2012 / 8:06 pm

    My favorite beauty product is Dior Addict lipstick!

  34. Monica April 20, 2012 / 8:06 pm

    I swear by my nightly facial cleanser I make which is just 25% castor oil and 75% olive oil. I love how it makes my skin feel. So heavenly! Thanks for the chance to win!

  35. Jen H April 20, 2012 / 8:07 pm

    I love using scented body lotion as a finishing touch instead of perfume. I love the way it leaves a subtle, yet long-lasting scent all day long.

    One question I have is, when you are on vacation, do you stay “on plan” with Weight Watchers? I have the hardest time with this!

  36. Karen @ Run Shop Travel April 20, 2012 / 8:08 pm

    I feel like a bit of a traitor entering this giveaway since I work for a beauty company as well but I just can’t resist! My favorite beauty product as of late is golden brown/bronze eye shadow. It works really well with my hazel eyes!

  37. Kate April 20, 2012 / 8:14 pm

    I have super curly hair so I swear by hair products from Ouidad-they work miracles!

  38. Kate April 20, 2012 / 8:18 pm

    A topic that I’d love for you to address is more info about eating healthy while out to dinner with clients/work events (when everyone wants to get apps/drinks/etc).

  39. Noelle April 20, 2012 / 8:21 pm

    routine that I swear by: Clarisonic MIA every other day! Love it.

  40. Noelle April 20, 2012 / 8:24 pm

    topic for the future: your favorite splurge/save beauty products

  41. sherin April 20, 2012 / 8:30 pm

    I swear by my Clarisonic! It leaves the best glow!

  42. Natalie April 20, 2012 / 8:37 pm

    My favorite beauty product currently is blue eyeliner. I have hazel eyes and very dark, almost black hair, so it really adds an extra dimension to my eyes.

  43. Natalie April 20, 2012 / 8:38 pm

    I would love to read more posts about staying healthy when working long hours. I’m interested in points addressing both diet and eating as well as fitting in time to exercise.

  44. Tracy Schwartz April 20, 2012 / 8:42 pm

    My unique beauty tip is an Avacado Mask on the weekend!! I love all things avacado and so glad it works on my skin!! I only make it though on the weekends.

  45. Tracy Schwartz April 20, 2012 / 8:44 pm

    I would love to know if you plan on moving back to GA later on or plan on staying in NYC; and which place do you favor running in?

  46. Em April 20, 2012 / 8:50 pm

    I swear by an Aveeno foaming make-up remover – it’s the only make-up remover I have found that is gentle but also removes stubborn eye make-up!

  47. Em April 20, 2012 / 8:57 pm

    A topic I’d like to see discussed (someone else suggested it too!) is how to manage a healthy lifestyle with work events, especially when your work is providing or paying for the food/drinks and you don’t want to be rude.

  48. Dorre April 20, 2012 / 9:02 pm

    my fave beauty product is Cetaphil face moisturizer with spf …

  49. Susie April 20, 2012 / 9:24 pm

    My most unique (and most simple!) beauty product is a bar of Dove unscented soap – I’ve washed my face with a bar of soap for years, and nothing has ever worked better!

  50. Susie April 20, 2012 / 9:26 pm

    I’d love to hear more about building confidence to become a faster runner. I’m a middle-of-the-pack runner, and it’s hard to know if I could actually be faster than I think I am. How do you know if you’re holding yourself back?

  51. Melissa April 20, 2012 / 9:26 pm

    My DDF eye cream is my best beauty item – I use it morning and night.

  52. Melissa April 20, 2012 / 9:28 pm

    I’d like to see a post on your top vacations/travel destinations (not sure if you’ve done one that combined all your trips).

  53. Leslie April 20, 2012 / 9:46 pm

    I love Clinique everything, but their foaming face wash is perfect for my skin. It’s the only one I’ve ever been able to use almost daily without skin irritation. I sound like a Clinique spokesperson, but I swear I’m not.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  54. Christina April 20, 2012 / 9:56 pm

    Sweet giveaway 🙂 I swear by Urban Decay’s “Eye Shadow Primer Potion” and Dior Show mascara, love love love both products whether I’m doing for a low key or glam look.

  55. Megan April 20, 2012 / 10:17 pm

    I really don’t have an unique product I swear by but I have to wear tinted moisturizer everyday. Its just enough coverage and I love that it has sunscreen in it

  56. sarah b. April 20, 2012 / 10:24 pm

    thanks for the great giveaway. my holy grail skincare product is new from korres. it’s called the wild rose + vitamin c advanced brightening sleeping facial. i would HIGHLY recommend it. i have twin toddlers and am pregnant with my third so i don’t get a whole lot of sleep. but when i put this on my face at night i wake up EVERY DAY looking like i’ve had a full 8 hours plus an expensive facial. it really is amazing!

  57. sarah b. April 20, 2012 / 10:26 pm

    i would love to see a post on traveling and eating healthy while staying in hotels and resorts. do you usually get a place with a kitchen or mini kitchen so that some meals can be prepped in the room? or just make healthy choices eating out every meal? do you and your husband agree on this stuff? it’s impossible to eat healthy and travel with mine because he would eat out every single meal! thanks 🙂

  58. Dani April 20, 2012 / 10:28 pm

    Beauty TIp: Once a week, I make a mask out of oatmeal, yogurt and honey. just mix about a tablespoon of each in a small bowl and apply directly to your face with your hands. It is moisturizing and exfoliating, plus the honey minimizes redness and mine is always cold and soothing because the yogurt comes from the fridge! Leave on for 15 minutes so it can sink in and then just gently rinse with water.

  59. Jessica April 20, 2012 / 10:53 pm

    I swear by leaving a deep conditioner on my hair for an hour once a week. Any good conditioner will do. I have curly hair which gets dry easily and I’m always told by my hair stylist to not wash it everyday but that’s impossible when I run/workout 6-7 days a week. A good conditioner helps a lot!

  60. Jenny April 20, 2012 / 10:56 pm

    I love apricot scrub to exfoliate. Great giveaway!

  61. Laura April 20, 2012 / 11:03 pm

    My Clarisonic has been an amazing change to my skin care. I have dry skin, and using it has prevented me from having dry, flaky patches (so gross). It was well worth the investment!

  62. Jennifer T. April 20, 2012 / 11:10 pm

    My favorite beauty product is skin primer. It really helps my make up last all day 🙂

  63. Jennifer T. April 20, 2012 / 11:12 pm

    A post I would love to read about would be how do you balance time with your hubby and all the fun activities you do. I always feel like it is such a balance to give myself and my relationship the time they need!

  64. Danielle April 20, 2012 / 11:17 pm

    Almond oil is a fantastic moisturizer! As is coconut oil.

  65. kathy April 20, 2012 / 11:25 pm

    I love Dermalogica’s face products.

  66. Linda April 21, 2012 / 12:08 am

    Love those floss picks so much I picked up a pack for my mom too! Can’t feel beautiful without a clean mouth!

  67. Leah April 21, 2012 / 12:16 am

    My favorite beauty product is argan oil. It’s moisturizing without being too heavy and doesn’t leave my skin oily.

  68. Leah April 21, 2012 / 12:18 am

    I’d also love to hear/see what beauty products are your favorite!

  69. Tracey c. April 21, 2012 / 12:18 am

    I can’t live without The Body Shop’s body butter. I slather it from head to toe everyday when I first get out of the shower and my skin is always smooth and well moisturized. I also used the cocoa butter one on my belly when I was pregnant and didn’t get one stretch mark!

  70. Katie R April 21, 2012 / 12:30 am

    My favorite beauty product is my vanilla frosting lip gloss 🙂 I’m a pretty low maintenance girl with happy, insensitive skin, so all products work pretty much the same to me. But the vanilla frosting lip gloss is delightful to smell.

  71. Katie R April 21, 2012 / 12:32 am

    In the future, I’d love to hear more about your involvement in the Junior League and other society events. I only know of those sorts of things from Gossip Girl, and I suspect GG is fairly skewed.

  72. Elena V April 21, 2012 / 12:36 am

    Thanks so much for the giveaway, Ashley! My unique beauty product is…parsley.
    Chop it up like a madman, mix up with a tablespoon of Greek plain yogurt, apply on the face and neck for 20 minutes and think of Boris Kodjoe (or, in your case, your husband) in the meantime. Wash it off and enjoy your pretty, sun-spot-free, moisturized face.
    Works for me evvvvery time.

  73. Elena V April 21, 2012 / 12:38 am

    And I’d enjoy more posts by you on your favorite travel destinations.

  74. Joell April 21, 2012 / 1:02 am

    I can’t live without my Olay daily moisturizer. Definitely need spf on a daily basis.

  75. Joell April 21, 2012 / 1:03 am

    Would love to hear more about how you balance your busy career and being able to have time to workout & have family time!

  76. Barb April 21, 2012 / 1:06 am

    Clinique eye cream works wonders.

  77. Jackie April 21, 2012 / 1:07 am

    I have curly hair and I love Ouidad products (Tress FX Gel). They are scentless, which I like for work and for the gym.

  78. Jackie April 21, 2012 / 1:08 am

    What are some of your favorite running routes for shorter (4-6 mile) runs in NYC? Where do you most enjoy running in the city?

  79. Sue-Ellen April 21, 2012 / 1:17 am

    My favorite product right now is the Clinique dark spot corrector! I’m currently using this and I love the new tone and texture of my skin!

  80. Sue-Ellen April 21, 2012 / 1:18 am

    I would love you to do a post on what your favorite products are!

  81. Jillian April 21, 2012 / 1:30 am

    My favorite product at the moment is smashbox bb cream. It is quick and easy and makes my skin look great!

  82. Jillian April 21, 2012 / 1:32 am

    And for future posts, running in the summer heat! It’s a different beast.

  83. Caitlin April 21, 2012 / 1:40 am

    My favorite new beauty product is B.B cream! I apply before powder and it’s improved my complexion so much in two weeks… I use the Smashbox one 🙂 Good for summer too because it has SPF!! Thanks so much for hosting the giveaway… I love reading your blog posts every day!

  84. Nancy April 21, 2012 / 1:41 am

    I still use Clearasil facewash everyday. I realize it’s geared toward teenagers but it’s really the only product I’ve tried (of many!) that keeps my skin happy. I may still be using it when I’m 70 🙂

  85. Nancy April 21, 2012 / 1:48 am

    I’d love to hear about your plans for the future (5-yr, 10-yr plan, etc)… thoughts on living in NY city longterm, having kids, staying in your current job industry.

  86. Ili April 21, 2012 / 1:57 am

    I swear by my Elta MD SPF 50 sunscreen – wear it every day!

  87. tracey April 21, 2012 / 2:00 am

    My go to beauty product is my cetaphil facial cleanser. There is nothing fancy about it, doesn’t have any scent at all, but it leaves my skin feeling amazing after I wash it. I have been using it for 12 years and can’t live without. A good chapstick is always a requirement too.

  88. Heather April 21, 2012 / 2:08 am

    I’m addicted to chapstick and I have Burt’s Bees all over my house

  89. Erin April 21, 2012 / 2:09 am

    My favorite Beauty product is l’orreal double extend mascara.

  90. Erin April 21, 2012 / 2:10 am

    I love reading posts about how couples handle finances and chores.

  91. Emily April 21, 2012 / 2:11 am

    My favorite beauty product is Fresh mascara.

  92. Meredith @ DareYouTo April 21, 2012 / 2:32 am

    One of my favorite beauty products is the Fekkai “Luscious Curls” hair cream. It makes my hair smooth and tames frizz while letting my curls shine naturally, unlike hard-forming gels and mousses. So great!

    Thanks for hosting and congrats on a great year!

  93. Nikki April 21, 2012 / 2:46 am

    My must a have everday beauty product is: Bare Escentuals bareVitamins Prime Time! The best addition to my daily routine this year. I also wear it when I am not even putting on makeup because it makes your face feel so soft!

  94. Nikki April 21, 2012 / 2:56 am

    What is your best go to workout when you have had a long day and missed your big workout?

  95. Madeline April 21, 2012 / 3:02 am

    Bodyshop’s vitamin E night cream did wonders for preventing dry skin on my face this past winter. It’s a new favourite as part of my winter skin care routine.

  96. Gretchen @ Honey, I Shrunk the Gretchen! April 21, 2012 / 3:12 am

    Holy moly! What an amazing giveaway Ash! And congrats on all your blog/social media successes this year — you deserve them! Though I can’t believe you went until this year without getting a single cavity. You must have some strong enamel — I had like 6 cavities filled before I even hit high school. And I promised I brushed twice a day just like everyone else! 🙂

    My favorite beauty product is Makeup Forever matte foundation powder. The stuff gives you coverage like a liquid — it’s CRAZY! — but is a compact. I can’t deal with liquid foundation, so it’s a beautiful (expensive, but beautiful) thing for me. 🙂

  97. Amanda April 21, 2012 / 4:01 am

    I always wrap my wet hair in a T-shirt so my curls don’t frizz a crazy amount. It works perfectly!

  98. Liz April 21, 2012 / 4:20 am

    When my hair is really dry I put olive oil in the ends. Sometimes I will even heat up a wet towel and wrap it around my hair to help the oil really soak in. Works great!

  99. Liz April 21, 2012 / 4:21 am

    I would love for you to write about your favorite meal in NYC. I am always looking for great healthy restaurants to try.

  100. Kate April 21, 2012 / 4:25 am

    I always use a face lotion that has SPF 15 in it. It’s great to protect my skin without even realizing it!

  101. Kate April 21, 2012 / 4:25 am

    I’d love for you to talk about finding clothes for tall(er) people! I have the toughest time finding jeans that fit since my legs are so long (not complaining :))!

  102. Maureen April 21, 2012 / 4:27 am

    Years ago I learned how to make soap. It’s quick and easy, and I know exactly what goes into it – olive, palm and coconut oils. Love how my skin is never dry.

  103. Maureen April 21, 2012 / 4:29 am

    I’d love to learn more about life in NYC and what you do for entertainment.

  104. Amy Fitz April 21, 2012 / 4:30 am

    Congratulations!
    🙂

  105. Hannah April 21, 2012 / 4:34 am

    favorite beauty product is nars bronzer!! i feel naked without it on.

  106. Hannah April 21, 2012 / 4:40 am

    i’d like to see a post on your favorite grocery items or your favorite healthy recipes!

  107. Amy Orvin April 21, 2012 / 5:01 am

    I’d like to see more topics on acne breakouts and to prevent them.
    2dogs5catscrew@att.net

  108. Catherineine @ Jig and Jog April 21, 2012 / 5:29 am

    I don’t know that it’s so unique, but I am a big fan of vasoline. I use it in extra dry spots like heels and elbows and under my eyes as well.

  109. Anne April 21, 2012 / 12:59 pm

    Chaptick under your eyeshaddow. Holds the color in place – and earns you some very concerned looks from your boyfriend.

  110. Kelly O-ski April 21, 2012 / 1:48 pm

    Awesome giveaway! I usually don’t spend money on beauty products, but it would be nice to have some! I do spend money on nail polish (Essie and OPI are the BEST), and I wash my face with Noxema at least once a day (twice if I work out/run), and I use mascara whenever I go out…but that’s about it! haha. Ooooh, and chapstick. Every second of every day.

  111. Kelly O-ski April 21, 2012 / 1:50 pm

    And I’d like you to address how you recover from a marathon, if you could. Thanks!

  112. Alycia April 21, 2012 / 1:57 pm

    What an awesome giveaway!

    Its not really unique, but my favorite beauty product is Burt’s Bees tinted lip balm. Just a hint of color, but great moisturization!

  113. Jillian @ sprinkle massacre April 21, 2012 / 1:58 pm

    One of my favorite beauty products is actually the Fekkai protein RX conditioner.

    I love the new site design…I haven’t clicked out to see it in a while and just noticed it! 🙂

  114. Alycia April 21, 2012 / 1:58 pm

    A topic for the future, maintaining motivation in a beginner exercise situation. I’ve been on and off the fitness wagon for years (mostly off). Now that I’m trying to take better care of myself, I’m having a hard time keeping the motivation up.

  115. Kristin S. April 21, 2012 / 2:23 pm

    I swear by the facial cleansing pads from Trader Joes. Such a random find, but they are fantastic!

  116. Denise April 21, 2012 / 2:51 pm

    I love washing my face with St Ives apricot scrub in the morning and neutragena wipes at night. I had horrible breakouts until I began this. I also use Olay moisturizer every single morning!

  117. Rosalie April 21, 2012 / 3:21 pm

    I’m a big fan of Yes to Carrots shampoo & conditioner — it took me a while to find sulfate-free ones that actually make my hair feel good.

    I just started reading your blog recently and it’s become one of my favorites!

  118. Meghan April 21, 2012 / 4:09 pm

    I personally swear by bare minerals powders! Perfect for my sensitive skin and awesome coverage!

  119. Katie Cummings April 21, 2012 / 5:37 pm

    I swear by jergens original scent lotion. Its girly but not too girly. The formula isn’t too heavy for the summer, or too greasy.

    I would love a post about how you and bo decide when to workout together or when to do it separately.

  120. Tara April 21, 2012 / 6:33 pm

    I love my clinique mousturizer!!

  121. melanie April 21, 2012 / 9:15 pm

    I swear by blow drying my hair upside with a paddle brush ( i’ve done it since I was 13) and brushing my lips with a dry touthbrush in the morning before I put on lip-gloss.instant plumping and brings the color out in your lips

  122. anna April 21, 2012 / 9:25 pm

    i swear by neutrogena oil free moisturizer and aveeno tinted moisturizer- i mix the two so i don’t look too orange!

  123. anna April 21, 2012 / 9:26 pm

    i would love a post on how to deal with problem skin when you have a heavy workout schedule!

  124. Lana April 21, 2012 / 10:18 pm

    I can’t get through a day without my lipbalm … blistex is my favorite!

  125. Sarah S April 21, 2012 / 11:27 pm

    I use Cetaphil extra strength moisturizer after each face washing. Hands down the best face moisturizer.

  126. Sarah S April 21, 2012 / 11:28 pm

    I’d love to hear you talk about being married to an investment banker who works such long hours. I date one and would love to hear someone else’s opinion. (I know that isn’t necessarily a healthy living topic!)

  127. Christine April 21, 2012 / 11:40 pm

    Mine is the Clarisonic. It does wonders for my dry skin living in Colorado!

  128. Laura O. April 22, 2012 / 12:36 am

    My favorite beauty product is dry shampoo. It has completely changed my morning routine.

  129. Jackie W. April 22, 2012 / 5:01 am

    I’ve used the same Clean & Clear face wash since I was 11, (I’m now in my early 20s)!

  130. Shannon April 22, 2012 / 2:50 pm

    My favorite beauty item is Clarins’ Beauty Flash Balm. It seriously brightens up my whole face! I also love Benefit’s mascara and Clinique’s eyeliner. (OK, I’m a bit of a beauty junkie.)

  131. Shannon April 22, 2012 / 2:51 pm

    As far as a topic for you to write about in the future, I’d love to read about your own beauty routine or how you landed your job at Procter and Gamble.

    P.S. You look gorgeous in that first photo!

  132. Sejal M April 22, 2012 / 3:38 pm

    Hmmmm, well I use baby oil to remiove my eye makeup. It works so well and as an added bonus you dont need to use under eye cream!

  133. Shira April 22, 2012 / 7:01 pm

    I love Nars blush in Orgasm. It’s recently become my number one beauty product because it always gives my skin a healthy glow. It looks great on all skin types and has a bit of shimmer.

  134. Shira April 22, 2012 / 7:02 pm

    I’d love to hear you talk more about your personal training sessions at Equinox. How long have you been training and how has your body changed since you started?

  135. Kristina April 22, 2012 / 8:38 pm

    Moroccan oil!

    I would like to hear more about specific weight/strength training

  136. Calli April 22, 2012 / 10:10 pm

    I love Aussie’s 3 minute miracle for my hair!

  137. Pia April 22, 2012 / 11:39 pm

    My most unique beauty product is Bio-Oil. I use it as a facial moisturizer and love it but most of the time used to help fade scars! It is awesome and only $10 a bottle.

    I would love to see more about restaurants in NYC that I wouldn’t know about as I dont live there!

  138. Evelyne April 23, 2012 / 1:03 am

    This is a great idea!
    I would love to win this! I could sure use new beauty products, and I love discovering new brands. At the moment I use Bare minerals!

  139. Latrice April 23, 2012 / 2:47 am

    My favorite product is Mary Kay oil free hydrating gel! It leaves my skin feeling very moisturized and dewy!

  140. Kim D. April 23, 2012 / 5:55 am

    I love my Clarisonic Mia…the best thing ever to have.

  141. Cheryl April 23, 2012 / 12:36 pm

    I swear by CHI silk Infusion – it smells great and works great to tame frizz on humid days.

    I would like to hear more about working long hours and still managing to fit in workouts.

  142. Ashley April 23, 2012 / 2:28 pm

    My favorite beauty item is Oil of Olay Night cream. It is thick without being greasy!

  143. Ashley April 23, 2012 / 2:30 pm

    Topic to address in the future: how to combat weight loss when you are constantly hungry

  144. Harmony April 23, 2012 / 2:34 pm

    Can’t live without my Mary Kay eye makeup remover!!

  145. Sarah D. April 23, 2012 / 2:52 pm

    I love my eyelash curler. I preach to every women I know to curl their eyelashes.

  146. aleece April 23, 2012 / 3:12 pm

    fav product – burt’s bees chapstick

  147. aleece April 23, 2012 / 3:12 pm

    topic to address – fitting in time with your love, while you are training for races and working tons

  148. janieliz19 April 23, 2012 / 3:36 pm

    I think my favorite beauty product is this concealer I have from Smashbox – you only have to use a tiny bit, and it works so well! 🙂
    I’ve really enjoyed your blog over the past year (when I started reading it) – nice work.

  149. Emily B. April 23, 2012 / 3:54 pm

    I love Clinique Dramatically Different moisturizer. I also love that it’s always in the free gift!

  150. Julie @ Swim, Bike, Running on Empty April 23, 2012 / 4:04 pm

    Looks like you’re having a great time in Hawaii! It’s beautiful there – soak up the sun while you can 🙂

    My favorite beauty item is Cetaphil gentle face cleanser. It removes make-up but isn’t too harsh with my sensitive skin!

    A future topic I’d love for you to blog about is a list of your fave NYC running routes of all distances – would be so helpful for those of us that travel in for business trips!

  151. Andrea April 23, 2012 / 4:11 pm

    My skin has cleared up immensely since I started using Cetaphil, so that is my favorite product!

  152. Andrea April 23, 2012 / 4:12 pm

    My topic idea is a post on grocery shopping in a big city – how often do you go, how do you transport, how do you plan, etc.

  153. Tara April 23, 2012 / 6:01 pm

    I love Aquage lifting foam for my hair!
    Future post idea: budgeting time when training for a marathon

  154. Katie D. April 23, 2012 / 6:29 pm

    Ohh! Fun!! I swear by Norex cloths. They are microfiber washclothes and they have cleared up my skin (face and body acne) so much!

  155. Katie D. April 23, 2012 / 6:30 pm

    A topic I’d like to see you write about is healthy relationships, especially your marriage!

  156. Lizzie April 23, 2012 / 6:51 pm

    I absolutely could not live without my Aveeno moisturizer– I have never been able to find anything I like better! And believe me, I’ve tried.

  157. Lizzie April 23, 2012 / 6:51 pm

    I’d love for you to talk sometime about what you do for your job and how you got into it, if you are able to tell us! I’m very interested in it.

  158. Erin April 23, 2012 / 7:28 pm

    My favorite beauty product is Aquaphor! It is the only lip balm that keeps my chronically dry lips soft and smooth.

  159. Erin April 23, 2012 / 7:34 pm

    I would like to see a post on exactly what your work life is like, what you do, why you travel so frequently, etc…

  160. Lindsay April 23, 2012 / 8:04 pm

    The ONE beauty product that I swear by and will NOT go anywhere without. For example, I am in the hospital right now and I would NOT leave my house with my neutrogena eye make-up remover pads , my dior show mascara , and clinique eyeliner.

  161. Cathy April 23, 2012 / 8:31 pm

    My favorite mascara is Maybelline Great Lash and my favorite facewash is Cetaphil.

  162. Beth April 23, 2012 / 8:52 pm

    Moisturizer. Will not go anywhere without it!

  163. AmandaRunsNY April 23, 2012 / 11:00 pm

    My most unique beauty item is actually nothing – I only wash my hair about 2-3 times a week, although I do rinse it every day after my workouts. I used to wash and condition every day and my hair was a stringy mess of split ends. Now my hair is thick, really shiny and best of all, it takes months for split ends to show up.

  164. Keeley April 23, 2012 / 11:17 pm

    I hate to admit this but when I get a pimple I just “Acnomel” — My mom has always used it and passed it down to me. I swear if you dab a little on the “problem” and sleep with it, you’re face will have cleared up by morning! It is seriously a miracle worker 🙂

  165. Haley S April 23, 2012 / 11:22 pm

    My favorite beauty product is my lip balm….simple, but I can’t live without it!

  166. Haley S April 23, 2012 / 11:23 pm

    I know you have touched on exercising while traveling often but I would love to hear more about how you keep mentally sane and organized while traveling often

  167. Tammy April 23, 2012 / 11:25 pm

    My most unique beauty product has to be my Guerlain Terra Cotta spray. My friends and I joke that it is my very own tan in a can. While I don’t use it very often, when I do, I feel like a million bucks.

  168. Laura April 23, 2012 / 11:50 pm

    I love Aussie’s 3 minute miracle conditioner and it’s like $2.50!!!

  169. Laura April 24, 2012 / 12:01 am

    I use vaseline all the time for chapped lips and hands – don’t know too many others who do that!

  170. Steph Garcia April 24, 2012 / 12:19 am

    My favorite beauty comment is Arbonne’s clay mask. I use it at least twice a week and it makes my skin look so clean and fresh. Amazing stuff!

  171. Alison April 24, 2012 / 12:23 am

    My favorite beauty product is toner…it’s so simple but gives my skin such a healthy glow

  172. Alison April 24, 2012 / 12:23 am

    You are so goal oriented, I would love to hear about your 5 year plans

  173. Lisa April 24, 2012 / 1:38 am

    Ordinary carmex. I can’t live without it. And Maybelline great lash mascara.

  174. Angela April 24, 2012 / 2:24 am

    To take off my makeup at night, I use baby wipes! They leave my skin super soft, not dried out, and they are cheap!

  175. Angela April 24, 2012 / 2:24 am

    I would love to hear how you maintain a budget in such an expensive city as New York!

  176. Alejandra April 24, 2012 / 2:48 am

    Sephora eyeliners! 🙂

  177. Laurel C April 24, 2012 / 3:23 am

    I like to make a facial scrub with sugar, honey, milk, and rose water! it smells really good, is a great exfoliator, and it makes my skin feel super soft and fresh! I like to follow it up with a really good moisturizer too

  178. Laurel C April 24, 2012 / 3:24 am

    I’d love for you to talk more about your sports nutrition, and maybe whether or not you take protein powder and if so, which one is your favorite!

  179. Jennifer April 25, 2012 / 2:00 pm

    My favorite beauty product (right now!) is my Burt’s Bees eye cream. I have terrible under-eye circles and this seems to help.

  180. Jennifer April 25, 2012 / 2:06 pm

    I would love to hear more about your marriage! Specifically, how you and Bo make time for each other with such busy schedules. I’m about to have a baby and we’re used to spending time together without having to really work at it so I’m interested in seeing how others intentionally make time for their spouse.

  181. Kelly @ Cupcake Kelly's April 26, 2012 / 3:45 pm

    What a great giveaway. My must have beauty items are mascara and tarte smooth operatore concealer stick!

  182. Kelly @ Cupcake Kelly's April 26, 2012 / 3:46 pm

    I’m with some of the other contributors, if you don’t mind, a look at your budget for living in an expensive city.

  183. libby May 17, 2012 / 10:53 pm

    What a great giveaway! I’d say my biggest beauty splurge is face wash. I have combination skin and need a great cleansing and moisturizing wash morning and night. I love Willa and Juice products!

    • ashleyd May 17, 2012 / 11:14 pm

      Unfortunately this giveaway has ended! But, check out this week’s Five Bamboo giveaway instead!

  184. Edmund February 22, 2013 / 3:49 am
