Hey, hey, STRONG friend! Happy Saturday! I hope this email finds you well. Are you done Christmas shopping? Do you still have a few more things that you need to get. Need some ideas for yourself or some ideas to give to
your loved ones? Well, if so, I got you. These are some of the things I love, have/have tried, or recommendations that come from tried, true, and trusted
sources. Alrighty, lets dive in. First up are a few Lululemon dupes. I love, love fitness wear, whether it's the high end brands or Walmart
ones. As long as it fits well and I love it, I'm game! Have you seen the athletic wear at Walmart these days? They're very good, from the quality to the color and styles. Anywho, here are few lulu dupes that I have, which are fraction of the cost: 🎅🏾 CRZ YOGA Women's Seamless Athletic Long Sleeves Top 🎅🏾 RAYPOSE Yoga Pants 🎅🏾 Gym People Longline Sports Bra Tank Top 🎅🏾 One more lulu shorts dupe. I
love, love these. You see, I love having a variety of colors. I have them in a few different colors. If you bought every color that you love in these shorts from Lululemon, you would break the bank, lol! And we ain't about that life. Fractional plates for the Gainz - These things are game changer when it comes to increasing your
weights. Most gyms do not carry em. You're lucky if your gym has the 2.5 increases for their dumbbells - 15, 17.5, 20, 22.5, so on and so forth. You definitely wont see fractional plates for barbell lifts at your gym, just 2.5 lb plates. So, if your gym does't have these fractional plates, invest in a pair or two and
you'll be solid and you'll be busting through PRs like a boss. They'll come in handy when you're not quite ready to increase by 5 or 10 lbs. 🎅🏾 Do you love changing your Apple Watch Band based on your outfit for the day? They're so cute and comfortable. I like these for a nice change from the traditional silicone bands. I rarely wear any other bands. They come with 4 in each package and are super affordable! 🎅🏾 You're filming your lifts right, to check your form and to have
realtime feedback in the moment? Well, if you are, thats awesome, keep doing it because it is a game changer when it comes to being a better and stronger lifter. If you're not, I highly recommend you do. Having a tripod is a gamer changer. Lol, I use to prop up my phone all time, but it was a struggle getting good angles that way! #IYKYK I have two recommendations for you. One that is super light weight and
portable. Check it out here! You can carry it in your gym bag and carry it to the gym to film your lifts. And if you want a more robust one, check this one out here! Squat Wedges- Squat Wedge Blocks - When you want some extra Quad love these are great! They help you get more knee flexion,
a deeper range of motion or when your working on your ankle mobility, these wedges are quite handy. They also work great for folks who have longer legs, to get into a better upright position for back squats. 🎅🏾 Do you get your lashes done or
throw on a strip pair? I love them and I love the Eye Lash Extension look the best. I used to get them done, but it got costly. And the extension ones that go on your lashes tend to break our real ones off, not completely, but enough for me. That's a no go! So, about a year ago; I found the brand Lashify, they are really great. They can get pricey.
So, of course I found some that work just as great as the Lashify ones. They're called VLuxe by iEnvy! Check em out here for a fraction of
cost! If you try the Lashify lashes as well, get the Control Kit because you get to try out two pairs of lashes. Plus you'll get the tools to apply the lashes at a great price vs buying them separately. Lifting Straps - 🎅🏾 Versa Gripps or Lifting Straps - these are great for when grip is the limiting factor for lifts like Romanian Deadlifts, Barbell Bent Over Rows, or other heavy pulling exercises. I've been using both styles of straps for years. 🎅🏾🐶 Something for the pup in your life! Yeti, my youngest pup loves this thing. We came across the Wobble Wag Giggle Ball when we dropped Yeti and Jasper off at a dog sitters home. He wouldn't put the thing down. We all couldn't stop laughing and sweat the dogs were cracking up too! Pillow Covers - 🎅🏾 Christmas Pillow Covers - Who doesn't love decorative pillows - pillows for your couches or beds?! The more the
merrier, right? Buying the pillows themselves can add up quickly- hello Home Goods, Marshalls, Ross, etc.! I know they're discounted there as well. But, when I found pillow covers for the low-low on Amazon, I was pumped. Then I went to Walmart and bought pillow stuffing. Less money for the same pillows that you find at the other stores. A win-win! 🎅🏾 Pull-up gainz?! I got you! Check this over the doorway Pull-up bar! There's one thing I know for sure is that, if you want to Master your Pull-ups, you must practice them often. Put this on door in your home so that you are reminded to do a rep or two here and there
throughout the week not just at the gym! Grab your Doorway Pull-up bar here. 🎅🏾 Last but not least, need a new gym bag?! This one has specific compartments for your shoes, sweaty clothes, a charging port, and can be used on your luggage handles! Love
it!! Well, that's that STRONG friend. I hope this
years Christmas Gift Ideas for the woman that lifts is helpful and makes your life a bit easier on deciding what to treat yourself to or to your loved ones! One last thing hit that reply button and let me know what your favorite Christmas treat is and send the recipe!! Ha!😋 Have an amazing day and rest of your weekend! I hope this holiday season is Merry & Bright! In Strength Xo Candace
