Merry Monday everyone! Did you have fabulous weekends. I spent a lot of time lying in bed watching Gossip Girl, I mean what else would I be doing?!
Today's motivational monday is pretty self explanatory, but I thought what better quote to use then something about happiness which I think most of us need on a monday morning.
Happiness is contagious. You realize this when you spend time with a really bubbly and cheerful person, that have you come away feeling super positive and like nothing else matters then your happiness and not how you look or act but how you feel, Which is quite a good feeling. So spread a little joy even if its smiling at the woman passing you while you walk your dog or opening the door for a stranger.Tiny things like that take such little effort but the effect of them go so far.
I love Lush way too much so when my amazing dad surprised me with a bunch of lush products I nearly cried. I don't have a Lush near me so when I received these goodies you can imagine I was pretty excited! It's really funny because the other day I was watching Zoella's Lush haul and I was so obsessed with all the things she got so now Im going to share with you what I got.YAY!
First off I got the Rose Jam body wash which is a limited edition wash for the fall and winter and let me just tell you, this smells like a million roses mushed into one body wash and O my goodness it is delicious! I also got the charity pot lotion which has a nice fresh scent and the money from this lotion goes to the Edge of Seven which is an organization that educates and empowers girls and women worldwide. Going into Bath products I received the Twilight bath bomb which I have heard a lot about and it smells super yummy! Then I got the Christmas Eve bubble bar which smells super nice and sweet. I also got the penguin bubble bar which is so cute, and it smells really good. Sorry Im so bad at describing scents. And the last things I was graciously given, was the Miranda soap which is like the best smelling, fruity soap ever! So I hope you enjoyed this little Lush haul and you got some ideas for the next time you take a peek into Lush!
Hey guys! So today I wanted to share some tips on how to be more active and healthy without really thinking about. So here are some easy ways to enjoy a healthier lifestyle!
tip 1:Sit on a yoga ball! If you're like me you're probably sitting at a desk most of the day so opt to sit on a yoga ball instead of a chair, this will improve your posture and its good for random yoga ball crunches!
tip 2: Always choose the stairs! Its as simple as that...no elevators!
tip 3: Skip the chips! Go for hummus and pretzel crisps! If you didn't know, Pretzel Crisps are thin pretzels that have the taste of a pretzel but without the carbs and they're great for dipping!
tip 4: Stay hydrated! Water has a ton of benefits and it helps with bloating.
tip 5: Sleep! Get at least 8 hours of sleep. Sleep is the only way to heal your body from all the working out you should be doing ;)
Today I wanted to do a post talking about something besides beauty. So what better than to talk about my favorite TV show. I have been completely obsessed with the Vampire Diaries since last year, when I saw it on Netflix and decided to watch it, one of the best choices I have ever made...lol. First off everyone on this show is very attractive especially Damon and Stephen or Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley. So even if the show sucked I would probably still watch it to look at their beautiful faces.Not to mention Nina Dobrev is super gorgeous! I'm not really a fan of Twilight and I was afraid it was going to be like that but it is totally not! This show has a way more elaborate plot and I think it is a great show for everyone, unless you get grossed out by blood, Then you probably don't want to watch it. I got over my fear of blood from watching this show so thats a plus... I guess. Anyway season 4 just got released on Netflix so my addiction to this show has rekindled and if I don't post for a while it is probably because Im watching The Vampire Diaries!
It feels like forever since I have posted on my blog, mostly because I was having a huge writers block and had no idea what to do a post on. I didn't want to write something I wouldn't enjoy myself, and this may not be the best post in the world but I really wanted to share this product with you guys. So today Im going to do a review on the St.Ives Green Tea Scrub. This product really reduces redness and makes my skin look a lot healthier! Now I don't have a huge problem with acne so Im not saying its a miracle scrub but I'am saying that it is the best skincare product that I have used in a while, not to mention it smells like green tea so that is definitely a bonus in my opinion!
If you know me you know that I have a crazy obsession with Bath and Body works candles, especially in the fall time! Recently I was at Bath and body works and I picked up a few new candles! The one I'm obsessed with is "Cider donut" Let me just tell you this smells like everything wonderful in a candle! I'm pretty sure they sold this candle last fall, but I didn't really pay attention to it since all I cared about was the Leaves and Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin candle, But now I have truly met my candle boyfriend! This candle is so perfect for me, since I gravitate more toward sweeter candles. This candle smells AMAZING, but since I stink at describing scents I will tell you the description. "Indulge in the fragrance of a beloved baked treat with a blend of freshly picked apples, cake donut and a hint of cinnamon." So if you love sweet scented candles like me, you should definitely check this out next time you're in Bath and Body Works!
I'm super excited for today's post! I love working out, its a way for me to relieve stress and frustration and feel really good inside and out. I'm getting chills talking about it! I know working out can be kind of a drag sometimes but if you change up your usual workout it gets you more motivated to take a visit to the gym. So today I'm going to share with you some at home and gym workouts that I love! Btw I don't workout to lose weight, I workout to lead a healthy lifestyle and build healthy muscles.
I love this workout it gets your heart rate going and it boosts your metabolism
This next workout is from Nikki Phillipi! I love this girl she has really motivated me to eat healthy and stay active! She has a bunch more videos talking about eating healthy and getting fit so check her out!
The muscle that I like to tone the most is my core! So that's why most of these workouts will focus on getting you that flat stomach you have always dreamed of!
This workout is from tone it up which is a great site to get healthy motivation from, also there is a tone it up nutrition plan which is super great if you have an extra 150 dollars laying around.Lol! But seriously if you really are for cereal about getting healthy it really is awesome!
I love this workout, when I can't make it to the gym this is the first at home workout I do.
My last workout is from Bree Bond who is a personal trainer in California.
