Say Goodbye To The Gym

If thinking about the gym makes your heart race and your brow sweat, you are not alone. Not everyone loves going to the gym, and that is okay. Exercising does not have to mean using resistance machines. I have created a list of easy ways to get moving: Dancing: You do not have to belong to a dance studio (contrary to popular belief), to use dancing as a method of exercise. You can dance from the comfort of your own home. There are plenty of dance tutorials online that can get you moving.  My personal favorite is The Fitness Marshall:  https://m.youtube.com/user/TheFitnessMarshall? Walking Around The Mall: Walking from store to store, carrying bags is a low impact way of moving. And a great excuse to shop! Walking Around Your Neighborhood: Walking can actually make a difference in your weight loss journey. Movement of any kind is better than sitting on the couch. Running/Jogging: This is a more high intensity workout that you can do in your own neighborhood. ...

How To Style: Red Lips Ft. Taylor Swift

Image
Taylor Swift is known for her simple, yet classic style.  She has been changing her look from the clothes she wears to the way she styles her hair.  The one thing that has stayed the same is her love for that red lip classic thing that she likes. Taylor is wearing this collared black mini dress with silver detailing and black flats.  The sunglasses and her purse keeps the look classic and the mini dress gives the look an edgier vibe,  The slicked back hair helps keep all of the attention on her bold red lip. A simple red lip can take a basic look to a new level. And this is evident with this look above. A button down collared shirt to some may be considered outdated, but she keeps it feminine with the fitted black pants and dark colored pumps. The fun headband is just a bonus. Leggings and a matching top/bra is the perfect gym attire.  The jacket being left open a little while showing some shoulder makes her gym attire a little m...

Making Your Long Distance Relationship Last

Image
Long distance relationships are no easy task and can definitely take a toll on you. There is no set way to handle any relationship, but below are essentials when in a long distance relationship. -Trust your partner: Not trusting your partner in any relationship will be detrimental, but especially in long distance. -Passwords can be your worst enemy: It is normal when you first get their password to check every day, multiple times a day.  But if this continues past three weeks, there is an issue. -FaceTime: This is an necessary part of a successful LDR.  Face-Timing/video chatting can make it feel like there is no distance between you and your partner.  The same with calling, but video chat allows you to see the partner which stops it from feeling like they are miles away from you. -Pay Attention To Shifts: If you spend most of your day texting this person you know their messaging style.  If all of the sudden the conversation is really dry on thei...

Makeup Hacks

-Wet Beauty Blender: I personally prefer to dampen my beauty blender before usage. I find it gives my foundation a more natural appearance.  Beware though, it is a sponge, so of course it absorbs some of the product.  I personally like this in order to minimize the amount of foundation I actually use.                 -Removing Makeup: Sometimes I forget to buy more makeup wipes so I use my facial cleanser to remove my makeup.  I love this gentle alternative.  I wash my face one time to get the makeup off and then I wash my face again to ensure my face is clean. I know I am makeup less when the foam is no longer the color of my foundation. -Carmex: It is no secret that the continuous use of lip gloss and lip stick can be extremely drying. Something I have begun doing to combat this is the application of Carmex.  I make sure ...

My Top Three Necessities

Image
Over the years I have acquired some tips that improved the quality of my overall appearance and have made my life a little bit easier.  1. CARMEX CARMEX CARMEX!! Carmex is honestly my new best friend. Every night before I go to bed I make sure to apply Carmex to my lips. It's stops late night crust and allows me to wake up to soft, smooth, moisturized lips.    2. Your lips aren't the only things you should moisturize before bed. I have began moisturizing my hands and my feet with Ulta Beauty's Coconut Lime Cooler Lotion because it is a thick, oily consistency. I know a lot of people are not fans of lotions you have to rub in for more than five seconds, but I can definitely tell a difference in the feeling and look of my hands and feet. In  addition to applying lotion on my hands and feet right before bed I make sure to apply lotion to my entire body every time I step out of the shower.    3. Leaving mints on my bedside table is a mu...
