Brand Comparison – Commando vs Spanx: Faux Leather Leggings

I’m so excited to be sharing this post, as I’ve seen a lot of questions asked/read a lot of published reviews between these two popular legging brands. From a personal standpoint, I stan both brands and equally wear them each fall/winter season. There are definitely some similarities & differences between the two, and I find it’s important to share my personal findings as a 2-4 year…

  • Today’s my 8 Year Blogiversary! And if you haven’t noticed... I completely forgot about it until my Wordpress site sent me a congrats 😂 I used to go all out for these milestones, recapping on what I’ve learned in my x years of blogging, until last year (7th) when it slipped my mind entirely..and seems to have once again #whoops⁣
⁣
The thing is, this day reminds me of much more than words could ever put into a blog post or IG caption. It’s not just the day I started ToBeBright.com - it’s the day I changed the entire course of my life without even knowing it. Jan 22, 2013 is when it all began, EVERYTHING that is the foundation of ME today.⁣
⁣
Because of this day 8 years ago, I’ve since created the life I’ve always dreamed of having. I’ve become the person I’ve always envisioned myself being. I’ve also found myself in ways I couldn’t imagine otherwise. For me, it’s not about the traffic/followers/brand exposure I don’t have after 8 years of sharing my life on this platform. Some would think I’d be farther along by now ~nUmBeR wIsE~⁣
⁣
But what those select few don’t see when judging my platform by its visible numbers is the incredible internalized authenticity that makes me get up every morning SO DAMN HAPPY about what I do. I’m beyond blessed for every setback, every “no” or “another time” response, every self-doubt or doubt of someone else, ALL OF IT. Because it has led and continues to lead me to exactly where I want to be ❤️⁣
⁣
I could’ve done the whole “how it started, how it’s going” thing but instead I’m posting “how it currently is” - 8 years of doing what I love and finding myself in the process. And no amount of numbers will ever match the value of what’s right here, right now.⁣
⁣
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everyone that’s been following my journey, whether it’s from the start or just since yesterday. I couldn’t ANY do this without all of you and I’m grateful 4 life 🥰 #magic8 #blogiversary
  • Happy W🇺🇸dnesday!
  • Convinced Thomas to take pictures with me in our new @sperry kicks 🥾👞 But the only reason he agreed is because I wouldn’t let him wear his boat shoes until these were taken 😬📸⁣
⁣
Since moving to the suburbs, I’ve become an amateur bird watcher 🦅🦆🦉 & Thomas a handyman lumberjack 🪵  We’ve been taking advantage of this mild winter by spending as much reasonable time outside on our [river] front yard, using the fire pit and taking in this gorgeous view behind us 😍 Sharing more pics & our spring plans for the yard today on the blog!
  • Place me inside a heated igloo complete with cocktails, tapas, and a plant wall & watch me become the happiest human A L I V E 🔥⁣
⁣
Last week, Thomas and I got to treat ourselves to an evening staycation/date night @achotelbridgewaternj ❤️ Sharing our experience & the more of this stunning hotel on Stories but swipe to check out some of the delicious, cozy highlights 🤗 #ad⁣
⁣
Side Note 👉🏼 this Shacket x Faux Leather ensemble was 100% inspired/copied from @brooklynblonde1 😘
  • I’ll be the first (of prob many) to admit that I DREAD the idea of setting #NewYearResolutions 🙅🏻‍♀️ Personally, I rarely see them through as I find the concept of holding myself to a rigid goal-achieving schedule too stressful of a “chore” 🙃 However, I love the idea of 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉𝒍𝒚 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 to accomplish 1-2 light tasks that are likely to be continued into the next month - waaay more realistic IMO 👍🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So I’m kicking off January with small additions to my consistent morning routine of coffee, vitamins, & journaling 📓 along with new approaches to take control of my overall wellness by turning around a year of unhealthy habits (thanks to 2020...) 💪🏼 ⁣⁣
