Wearing my logo?!

Recently I got approached by College Custom and was asked if I would like to get my logo printed on a piece of clothing. Who wouldn't want to wear their own logo?!

College Custom are a company based in Brighton that personalises sports wear, clothing garments and accessories mainly for schools, colleges and universities. They are the sister company of LeaversHoodies.com.

They gave a such a professional and enthusiastic service I loved it! I was contacted the whole way through the process from the designing to the delivery. I would definitely go back to College Custom for any personalised clothing I want in the future!

I chose the hoodie in amongst the numerous other options on the website (there were loads to chose from!) due to being practical to wear during my training at hockey and wearing it to and from the gym. 

My hoodie arrived within a week of it being made and I had no problems at all in receiving the hoodie. It usually takes about 2 weeks from payment to delivery because all garments are made to the highest quality. As soon as it arrived I ripped the parcel open, I was super excited to try it on and my first impressions were very positive. The inside is like a fleecy material which is so warm and cosy and the fit is slightly baggy which I love in hoodies because it makes it easier to move when doing sports in my case.

At first I did think there was a hole in front hand pocket but then realised and was totally amazed because I had never had this little contraption in a hoodie, but it was a little incision in the hoodie to thread your headphones up the inside of your hoodie so the wire doesn't get in your way on the outside of the hoodie! I know, I was just as amazed...brilliant! 

I would definitely recommend using the College Custom service because the customer service I received was so exceptional and the garments are such a high quality.

London Calling!

So I decided to spontaneously jump on the train to London for the day on my own to go exploring! it was super fun and could not resist going on a hunt for a supermarket called 'WholeFoods' that I had been told about before. Now anyone that knows me, knows if I could live off green juices and smoothies for the rest of my days I totally would! So I found it and walked into WholeFoods to find in front of me, a whole sections of fresh juices and smoothies. Heaven. The supermarket I would say specialises in raw, organic, and super healthy foods ranging from creating your own salads to raw protein bars! Although it is slightly on the pricey side due to the really good quality of the food and drinks they sell it is definitely my new favourite supermarket, however student life 'n' all means I'm definitely not rich enough to get my shopping regularly from there! I picked up two different green juices and a raw raspberry snack bar.
Triple Green Smoothie:

Kale

Creamy Greens Chlorella:

There aren't many Stores in the UK as it is originally an American Store but I really hope they open some more in the UK! Check out their website for more info about them!

I then on my way home probably stupidly decided to walk down Oxford Street, not realising that there was fab Nike store that I caught a glimpse of  and then was drawn into!
I know I have said in a previous blog about being a student and not needing the best branded clothing for working out and I still 100% stick by that, but it is always nice to treat yourself now and again, I didn't go crazy and had to find a lot of will power not to spend a ton of money because I LOVED it all. I did pick up a new top and new leggings to add to my ever growing workout clothes collection. The top was £18 and the leggings were £30 and for Nike that's a pretty good find, looking online for Nike leggings, a lot of them come up with prices ranging from £60-£80 so I was pretty pleased with my finds and the quality of the clothes is super good!

What To Wear...

Branded gym clothes can sometimes be pretty expensive for clothes that you’re going to sweat in but being the student that I am, I searched around and found that H&M have a really good gym clothing range. That’s where I get a lot of my gym clothes because they are reasonably priced and are very comfortable.

As well as different gym leggings I also sometimes wear plain leggings with my hockey skirt or just my hockey skirt. After seeing many girls in the gym with see through leggings on, in my opinion that is the ultimate no no (some sightings are gross), so thickness in gym leggings is what I like to look for as well as a decent price that’s affordable for me.

For my footwear, I’ve always felt very comfortable in Nike trainers, now I know they are not the cheapest brand out there but I think spending a little more money on footwear is important because I pay a lot of attention to how supportive a trainer is on my feet and ankles whilst training because I don’t want an injury.

If I’m doing an intense workout like HIIT I will wear my blue Nikes because they have much better quality of support whereas if I’m going to do a lighter workout such as using the exercise bikes or rowing machine, I’ll wear my purple Nikes because they are much more light weight on my feet.

That’s just a little insight in what I wear, just your average gym clothes. Comfort, support and price are the three main things I look for when buying new gym clothes
