Get Fit | Day 1

Hey loves, just wanted to share with you my journey to a fit and healthy lifestyle. I'm forever trying to get fit but I never stick to it. But this time around I think I will be able too. I just signed up for this fitness centre and I'm loving it already. With my membership I'm able to do all these classes for free; like Zuma and Yoga. Haven't done any on those yet but I can't wait to try.
 
Today was my first day there and I spent a hour doing cardio. Honestly for my first month there I'm going to focus on just cardio. I don't really want into it too fast and then want to give up right away. I went on the treadmill for 30minutes and the elliptical for another 30. I'm super happy that I didn't stop and I kept going even though I just getting out of breathe. By the end of the first month I hope I will be able to do 2 hrs without feeling like death but we will see.

This time around I'm definitely going to keep you ladies and gents updated regularly. My current weight is 160.6lbs and I'm hoping to get down to 125-135lbs. I'm also working on eating better but that's a challenge. If you guys have any thoughts on what I should eat I would love to hear it.

Haul | Work Out Clothes

Hey loves, just wanted to share with you this small fitness haul. I started back at the gym today; which will be the next post. I wanted to pick up somethings to work out in. So I stopped by Footlocker and picked up 2 pair of Niké Shorts. They were on sale for $30. Next I stopped by the Bay and picked up a Niké sports bra on sale for $21. And lastly I stopped by Champs and picked up a pair of Niké Free Run Runners. I'm super excited to be going to the gym and I can't wait to pick up a new pair of cross trainers. So definitely look out for another fitness post real soon.

Hey loves, just wanted to stop by and share with you what I had on my nails last week. Lately I've been shopping a lot and I haven't been posting about them. But I wanted to share with you one of my new favorite nude polishes ever. I think this polish compliments my skin tone very well and it doesn't chip at all.

OOTD | 07.11.13

Hey loves, just stopping by to share with you the outfit I wore out yesterday. It was my day sort of and I was off early enough to enjoy the dance weather. I haven't had a chance to really catch any sun and I wanted to get a little color going on so I decided to wear some shorts. I kept it really simple and causal and I loved it.

Hey loves, just wanted to share with you what I'm currently wearing on my nails. I wanted to try out another one of the polishes I recently picked up from Essie's summer collection. Untitled
 
This mani consisted of:
Essie Ridge Filling Base Coat
Essie Dj Play That Song Revlon
ColorStay Gel Shine Top Coat
 
You guys know I couldn't pass on this color. I love my purples so much. And this is no different. This is a great purple and it's a matte finish but I needed that glossy affect. Can't wait to wear it again but keep it matte.

I definitely had to pick this color up because it reminded me of Aaliyah. She was my favorite singer growing up and still is. There was no way I could pass on this polish and I'm super happy that I didn't.

FOTD | 07.07.13

Hey loves, just wanted to share with you the makeup I wore to work on Sunday. I haven't been to Sephora in about 2 weeks it feels like so I wanted to step my game up for my shift. I'm super happy that I did because I got a lot of compliments from clients and cast members. I really wanted a bright look and to use some of my MAC pigments that I haven't used in a long time. Super pleased with how this look turned out and I can't wait till the weekend so I can wear another bright look to work.
