All Things Fitness are at the top | All things Financial towards the bottom

The Chestee

The Chestee is a patent-pending sports bra that effortlessly blends fashion and function.  I had a really hard time learning cleans and walked around like someone who was beat up (bruises on my neck.  Plus, I have one collarbone that sticks out farther than the other (thank you childhood horseback riding injuries) and even just for resting in front rack position, this bra has been a godsend and it’s my favorite piece of gym equipment when it comes to thrusters!

Bruise no more. Use CORINNE in the shopping cart to save some money and I get a little commission – win/win.  I can also help with sponsorships and/or bring The Chestee for a trunk show in your gym or to a functional fitness in my territory (Pacific NW, Western Canada, Utah and Nevada).  Send me a message of the dates of the event and details.

 

Freeze Sleeves

Those of you familiar with my transformation and fitness journey know that I have really bum knees due to a condition I was born with. For years I tried so many ways to get them iced and last year while I was visiting vendors at the Wodapalooza Fitness Festival I happened to come across Freeze Sleeves.

These. Are. Simply. AAAAH-MAZING. Please follow my affiliate link here – I get paid a little commission for referring you and you get a discount – remember coupon code CORINNE15. It’s win-win.

Barbella Box

“Barbella Box is a Functional Fitness Subscription Box filled with premium apparel, gear, accessories, snacks, supplements, workout tips, and more exclusively for women.”

As a subscriber, you receive about a half dozen items in a cute packaged box every month. These are typically from small brands, very often owned by women, wanting to get the word out about their products (I’m a huge proponent of shopping women owned small businesses whenever possible).

What I love most about my Barbella Box is the variety of brands and items each month and how well they fit (they even send an email reminding you to check your sizes in your profile when they have a garment that may be questionable in size).  As an example – one month you will receive a Chestee Bra in, the next month Vullsport leggings. Or, opposite (I loved my Chestee leggings that have built in padding for rope climbing and box jumping that came branded with the Barbella Box logo and the light blue Vullsport bra is one of my favorite for non barbell days at the gym). I’ve discovered new delicious protein bars and snacks, received mobility products and even what is now my favorite bodywash.  As a person on a tight budget, at first I felt a little guilty (that the subscription was a little expensive), but after receiving boxes for over a year, I feel like I’m winning.

Financial and Business Things I Love

Calendly is an amazing program that helps you combine multiple calendars into one platform and offer up openings to your clients or coworkers without the hassle of going back and forth a zillion times trying to find the right time to fit all schedules.

QuickBooks Online

Gone are the days that you have to be in front of the right computer to access your accounting software and if anyone tells you that QBO isn’t robust enough in reporting or options, 1999 is calling for them to update their knowledge of the software. QuickBooks Online is one of the best small to medium business accounting software offerings due to its affordable pricing and flexibility. Business owners can access their data 24/7 using QuickBooks online due to the convenient remote, cloud-based access via phone/pad app or any web browser. Your accountant or bookkeeper can have same time access. There are a few things that good ole’ QuickBooks desktop is still better at, however, many businesses who use those features would often be better off using more modern applications that work within QBO.

In comes Tax Jar. Tax Jar is a leading technology solution and can be integrated into many eCommerce platforms as well as into traditional accounting software.
