Old Navy Activewear Sample & Share via CROWDTAP!!

First, I must preface everything by saying that I was fortunate enough to be chosen to receive a FREE activewear top and a FREE activewear bottom from Old Navy as part of the Old Navy Style Council via Crowdtap! I've never been a part of anything like Crowdtap until last December.  It's so much fun and completely addictive.  I'm not into extreme couponing or any of the other money saving sites, but you do get some rewards with Crowdtap.  Not to mention the reward you get from finding out your input is actually listened to and is valued.  That's the best part to me.  If it sounds like something you might want to explore further, just click here. You'll love it, I know I do. 

Ok, back to the ACTIVEWEAR!!! This couldn't have come at a better time! Not many of you know, but I used to be in the US MARINE CORPS.... true story.  Here is a pic of me back then. 

Pretty skinny, huh? I know! After 13 yrs of marriage and three kids I look NOTHING like that any more.  But I'm working on it! Not just for myself, but for my family.  We are trying to be more active and recently purchased new bikes for EVERYONE in the family.  My 9 yr old daughter and I have been enjoying Zumba classes and my how they make me feel so old and so young at the same time :)


So when I received the coupon's for the ACTIVEWEAR, I called my handy dandy friend Jasmine to meet me there.  As always, we giggled most of the time during the selection process.  And then even more when we try on.  There wasn't an extensive line of items to choose from. You pretty much just chose from shorts, capris, pants, shirt, or jacket.  I have plenty of tees and tanks, so I went with the jacket.  I would NEVER wear shorts.  I think they are one of the most unflattering garments on ANY woman.  I went with pants, I figured they would be more versatile that way. 

The particular pants I got were compression pants. I personally like the way they nip and tuck and suck in, but the actual purpose is to prevent chafing, reduce sweat, and to keep muscles warm to avoid injury.  You can read more about it here.  The entire outfit is pretty cute.  I wore it to go grocery shopping of all places and I felt so well put together. 

Here are a few pictures of our trip.....

 

 

Here is some of the items we had to choose from... so far, so good.

 

 

 

Jasmine was the first to recommend the jacket/ pant set.  It's really cute.

 

 

 

So I thought, why not give it a try?

 

 

 



We went to try on, it looked great on Jasmine!

 

 

 

I like it a lot also, but I went with a larger size jacket.

I LOVE THE THUMB HOLES!!

 

 

 

Checking out is always the fun part... it always confuses some poor cashier,

but the manager knows the deal and gets us through in a jiffy!

 

 

 

But not before we could wrangle him into taking our pic with the

Old Navy Welcome Wagon!!

 

 



Old Navy Beach Party!!

Thanks again to the awesomeness of Crowdtap and Old Navy, I was selected to host an Old Navy Beach Party!!! Myself and three friends were able to receive FREE swimsuits, flip flops, towels, and beach bags!!! It was so much fun. Check it out!

There were plenty to choose from.... making a decision was the hardest part!

Okay so we got a little goofy... but it was fun!!

And then there was the moment of truth.... the horrid and ever dreaded fitting room.  Is there any amount of fabric that would be an acceptable cover for this amount of bulge??? Suprisingly, yes. 

 

 

And though this was a Beach Party, I am first and foremost a mom... so I had to shop for my little monsters.  These are a few of the items I picked up during our girls day. 

 

And as if those weren't cute enough.... these are the monsters with their new goodies :)

I don't have a single complaint. I was overjoyed to find a swimsuit that I fell in love with and actually felt comfortable wearing.  I picked out a Control Max Swimsuit and it nipped and tucked in all the right places.  Thank you Old Navy and Crowdtap for allowing us to have such a great time!!!!

 

 

Old Navy Sample & Share via Crowdtap!

So I had my first Sample & Share on Crowdtap! I received a coupon for 2 free tees from Old Navy for myself, and 2 for a friend.  I took my bud and coworker Jasmine who was totally stoked that we were able to participate in this

 

Here we are arriving at my local Old Navy at Coastland Center Mall.

 

 

We found so many tee's that we loved!

 

 

AAAAnd a few that weren't for us...

 

But the most important part is we found too many great options that

we ended up purchasing more than our 2!

 

 

 

I am so grateful that we got experience this! It was soo much fun!

Thank you Crowdtap and Old Navy.

 

If you haven't tried Crowdtap yet... what are you waiting for??

It's fun and addictive and rewarding!
