As I write from snowy Chicago in my favorite snow boots I would like to clear something up – I am NOT a fashion blogger. Yes, I have referred to this as a fashion blog but I am nowhere near the level of my style icons and on average only half of my posts are about shoes, clothes, or trends. I prefer to categorize Sparkles & Shoes as a “lifestyle” blog that way I can share my favorite products, random thoughts I have or just general things about my life. This notion is what inspired today’s post -my workout playlist.
I have already shared my playlist of mellow music but when I really need inspiration I turn to my work out mix. I know some of these songs are vulgar and I would like to clearly state that I do not agree with the message, lyrics, or the artist’s point of view, I just like the tempo and beat of the song for cardio.
And while I am not a big fan of “fitspiration” or of girls with six-packs posing in a sports bra I did find this two images inspirational and I find myself repeating the “sore or sorry” one at least a few times a week!

I tell myself the “sore or sorry” one quite often as well. It’s a great thing to think about.

I think of our blog as more of a lifestyle blog too. We do fashion posts, but we really post about anything we love.

Good music is a must-have for me when working out–I can’t get through without it! It need to be upbeat and fun, and hopefully something I can sing to in my head while running, etc. Love your list!

this is such a good idea! I too need some good dance moves to get me inspired 😉 And I vote we ban all sexy running pics. Who the heck really works out in panties and a sports bra? No one that’s who.
