Fitness Goal: Week 3
So I have to admit... I only worked out 1 day this week... ((shame on me)) I know I know.. I can't even make up any excuses this week. Well at the beginning of the week I was sick... food poisoning.. No way I could possibly workout. Tuesday I went to the gym and worked on my shoulders. Shoulders are my weakest. Then I did not workout for the rest of the week.. poor me! No excuses..
One interesting thing this week is that I went and got my body fat percentage and I'm 26.9% body fat!

Fitness Goal: Week 2
So week 2 was a repetition of week 1 as workout goes so there is not much to explain there. There were two days where I wasn't able to workout because I had doctors appointments and stuff like that.. Although I wasn't able to workout, I still did a mini workout at home.
One thing that was significant this week than the last week was my diet. I have stuck to it and not cheated. Each week I try to do better than the last, so this week I will try to eat more veggies than last week and more egg whites. Well that's about it..
Oh.. I lost 0.5 pounds this week.
Until next time my bloggers.

Fitness goals: Week 1
So I often fluctuate between 120-150 pounds which is not healthy at all and I know I can have a banging body so I decided to make some fitness plans. My boyfriend told me to go on bodybuilding.com and check out workouts and the site is actually pretty cool. It helped me make fitness goals. So I know women don't like talking about their weight, but I'm 147 pounds which is considered overweight for my height but not by much. But I don't want to just lose the pounds to have average BMI, I want to lose body fat and gain muscle. I also want to look fit. So with that being said, I ended up with this...
That's right I need to lose 22.4 pounds and half of my body fat. Now I know lots of people have fitness goals at the beginning of the year and fail to meet them which sucks but I am determined! My boyfriend has a nice body and I can't be a fatty on the arm of a fit guy. So that's motivation.
Today I finished my first week of Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer. It's a 12 week workout plan that has three phases. Each phase has workout, nutrition and supplement advice. The first week consisted of a formula of:
3 sets
12 repetitions
60 seconds of rest inbetween
Each day you work on different parts of the body. The first week had absolutely no cardio and focused more on strength training with weights. I won't go into details of what each day consisted of but I figured out where my strength areas are and my weak areas as well.
One day out of the week I did not follow the plan, instead I worked out with my boyfriend and boy was it intense he showed me some new things I can do ab wise, back wise & bicep tricep wise. Then we did circuits... That was tiring but I finished and I'm proud of myself. So far I haven't lost any weight but I haven't gained either. So I think I'm doing well.
Well that's how my first week of my fitness plan was. I hope you continue to follow me on my journey.

What's in your makeup bag??
So I saw this post on instagram ((credit below)) about what's in your makeup bag and decided that my blog for the month of January would be about what I carry in my makeup bag. First ill start with what I have in my actual makeup bag and then I'll post other things that I must have.
Okay so first I will start with what's in my makeup bag.
1. is a mirror. We all know we need a mirror when we wear makeup just to make sure it's looking right lol.
2. Maybelline New York: 50 sunlit bronze. Although this is not the normal eye shadow I wear, it's a good natural color eye shadow just in case my makeup needs a little touch up. Normally I wear natural colors so it's very easy for me to blend them. The brands I use are Too Faced and Urban Decay.
3. Maybelline New York: Colossal Volum' Express. Again, my regular mascara is made by Too Faced but I use this one for touch up. It is not my favorite mascara from Maybelline but it does the job.
4. Maybelline New York: Expert Wear. I use this eye liner when I'm lazy and want a quick natural look.
5. IMAN: Posh. I cannot say how much I love this blush. I originally found it at Ulta when I was trying on blushes but then Ulta discontinued it ((oh no)) so I got another brand from Ulta ((which I did not like)) and then.. I found out that Target began selling the brand and for much cheaper!! ((winning)) So I had to buy it.
6. Tarte: black. So Tarte is my third favorite brand. I use Tarte gel eye liner for my eyes. It works really well and doesn't smudge much.
7.Systane ultra: I was in a car accident 4 years ago and my face was paralyzed on the left side. Because of this, my eye would not close. Therefore my left eye doesnt lubricate as much as my right and I have to use this expensive eye drops ($18). They work great but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who doesn't have an eye problem
8. Nivea: Creme. I love this stuff. It's great for lotion in the bag and doesn't take up lots of room. Only $1.
9. Nivea: A kiss of milk & honey. chapstick. Love.
10 - 17 are all lipsticks so I will tell you what brand they are and that's all.
10. M.A.C.: Ruby Woo B62.
11. Loreal Paris: Caramel Comfort 819.
12. Clinique: gloss longtemps
13. Forever 21: Love and beauty.
14. Loreal Paris: Cotton Pink 170
15. Loreal Paris: Pink Plush 169
16. Loreal Paris: Plum Explosion 766
17. Loreal Paris: Ruby Flame 317
18. Too Faced: Lip Insurance. Now to keep 10 - 17 on I apply lip primer from Too Faced which I love.
Okay so here are a list of my brushes. The pink and purple ones are all Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman. I love them all.
1. Blush brush
2. Deluxe cease brush
3. Accent brush
4. Base shadow brush
5. Tarte eye liner brush
6. pixel-point eye liner brush
7. Brow brush
8. Elf lip defining brush
9. Elf eye shadow brush
Last but not least is my Christmas gift from Nathan that I love so much. Normally I don't wear perfumes because of my skin but I absolutely love the smell of this and would recommend it to anyone.
well that is what's in my makeup bag. Comment with any questions or comments or write your own blog about what's in your makeup bag and I will read it.. Thanks for reading :)

2013 blog!
So I'm going to be doing some changes to my blog. One I love writing and I never have enough time to so there will be three things I plan on doing that will be forcing me to write. First thing I will do is write one blog a month on something specific. For example, this month I will be talking about what's in my makeup bag. The second thing I will blog about is Our ((Nathan && I)) date nights. I saw this blog about 52 date nights which is one date night a week and we are going to do some of their ideas and create our own which I will be blogging about. Either what we like about them or not. Third, I'm going to blog about my masters thesis process. So basically these are the changes I will be making I hope you're looking forward to it.
