Hi, I’m Caitlin Murphy and I created Fit Fab Cities to share all my favorite things when it comes to being fit and looking fab. I’m a fitness instructor and television fitness/ lifestyle reporter and I love trying and exploring new and fun ways to get in shape. It’s no fun keeping all those fitness finds to myself so I’m really excited to share all my favorites here on my blog.
I’m also a beauty editor and proud owner of the largest fashion and style magazine collection known to man. I’m a beauty and style junkie who is always blissfully happy walking the aisles of Sephora looking for the perfect lip gloss and flipping through the new JCrew catalog obsessing over the ballet flats.
I’m excited to share anything and everything from fitness and style to beauty, food and more…things I think make life a little more fit and a little more fab.
So, here is a bit of what you’ll find…
Fitness
- workout videos (straight from my classes or when I’m loving at the moment)
- printable workouts
- workout playlists
- reviews: classes, trends, products
- Motivation Monday quotes and fitspiration
- tips and more
- beauty tips and makeup and hair tutorials
- outfit inspiration
- must haves
- things I come across that I just love:)
