Summer Workout Routine!

Hey guys!

Today I want to share my Workout Routine !

I just feel that sometimes working out an be way more than a hassle, it's hard sometimes so I wanted to share what I do..maybe give ideas!(:

Alrighty so starting off, I mostly do Zumba (click here to see exactly what I use & btw I also have 3 DVDs that are called Target Zones-love them!)...oh how I love it(;

But recently I've been getting into running!

A couple of weeks ago on Instagram, I posted a picture of my new Nike's-I got them for running and my outdoor workouts. Let me tell you they are sooo comfy! I love them(: They are actually my first pair of Nike's haha 

But any-who let me share what I usually do!

///So when I get home I'll eat a snack and take a little break...catch up on the most recent episode of Pretty Little Liars maybe(; & then I'll go ahead and do my Zumba workout for the day! They are different everyday and on some days you get an option!

///If I don't feel like doing Zumba or I just want to change up the workouts I'll go to the gym or go jogging with my sister (way better to go walking or jogging with a friend!

       |||Right now I'm simply running on the treadmill, I walk at a speed around 3.3-3.5 for 7 minutes            and the run at 4.9-5.1 for 3 minutes. Since I'm just starting out, I don't want to stress out my                body and run for, lets say a whole 10 minutes!

       |||Doing workouts made for machines at the gym is also a way to work up a sweat. I use the             workouts from Blogilates right now.

+tips+

•Get a good pair of sneakers! I got mine Nike's at Sports Authority- they are called Revolution 2. They are very comfy and have enough cushion so that when you walk or run your heels aren't slamming into the floor. Check for sales often & sign up to get 10% off (; •

•Always stay hydrated!•

•Wear comfortable clothing•

•Don't workout too late (especially if your alone)!•

Well that's it! Just a simple routine & it helps you feel better & lose weight/tone !

What's your workout routine this summer? 

Oh yeah and I made this little picutre in honor of the famous blogilates quote! Feel free to take it with you! There's no watermark so it will look pretty wherever you put it!(:

New Kate Spade Bags.

 

 

How adorable are the new bags by Kate Spade?

 They are something different but yet they are so full of life and perfect for Spring and Summer. 

This is almost like a Dooney & Burke bag I saw on Instagram a few weeks ago! (I'll post it soon)

Floral Prints are really making a comeback-in fact it just seems like anything nature themed is becoming popular.

These two bags retail for $298 & $268 (respectively)

How do you feel about these bags?

I mean if it wasn't so expensive and maybe a canvas bag I would totally use it as a pool side/beach bag, to be honest with you!(;

But tell me what you think below!

Summer Reads

This summer I am very determined to get back into my habit of daily reading.

I mean...I have a book that I should be reading for my English class-but it doesn't seem fun!

So I have compiled a list of books that I actually want to read this summer haha

1.Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns by Lauren Weisberger||| I saw this book in Target today and immediately I was excited...a second part the Devil Wears Prada? Please and Thank You! I definitely want to give this a try.

p.s. the paper has the cutest cover but its too blurry online lol

2. The Fault In Our Stars|||Do I even have to explain myself here? Everyone has been raving about the book & the movie so better late than never right ? I can't wait read it!

3. To All the Boys I've Love Before||| This book seems so interesting...writing secret love letters to past crushes? I really want to see how this ends up.

Well these are the books that I have my eyes on right now! 

What about you? 

What are your Summer Reads? Tell me below!

Tutti Frutti Nails?

Evening everyone!

Yesterday I worked really hard on these nail inspired by my summery wallpaper I found on Pinterest!

I haven't done freehand nail art in a long time and I haven't draw fruit before!

But I tried and it turned out pretty cute!

This picture is what inspired these nails and I'm very happy with them-but I will admit, I need more practice! 

I started out using the Sally Hansen Nail Art pen (picture on my Instagram!) but it didn't work out because too much polish comes out to do intricate designs. But I will try the it for another nail art design to give a more accurate/fair review. But some tips for these pen are: be careful when taking off the cap after shaking it-some polish might fall out; also if you want a small amount of polish on the tip only press down (on the hard surface) a little...or you will get more polish than ya bargained for on your nail!

All in all I had so much fun doing these nails!

& white is perfect for Summer because it's bright and makes a statement!

What's on your nails?

let me now below!

Summer Essentials + Tips

 

via

Enjoying Summer is of course on the top of everyone's To-Do List.

But are we really ready???

Here are some things I say every girl should have during summer...

{Swim Suit}

Having a suit on hand is important during the summer time. Whether you want to just chill by the pool & catch up on some of your favorite books or go hang out with friends at the beach or pool. You don't want to be frantically looking for a suit when it comes time to use it!

{Sunscreen}

Right before having fun, you should apply sun screen. it just takes a couple of extra seconds to rub on the lotion or even spray it on before getting into the pool or going outside;you don't wanna get burned!!

{Beach bag/Tote}

Having somewhere to put all of your beachy things is very pertinent when running around this summer. You don't want to have to leave the things you need at home because they wont fit in your bag or lose your items! So having a go-to bag is should be on the summer checklist.

{Schoolwork}

lol...yes I know, your probably confused but if your school gives you any kind of summer work go ahead and get it done EARLY. Then you can have the rest of summer to yourself!

{Have Fun}

Lastly, don't feel like you don't have something to do and that this summer is going to be the worst. Make something of it. Try out a new activity, pick up a new book, walk and explore your neighborhood-life is what you make it right?

So, I hope that these essentials and tips help you out this Summer!

What plans do you have for Summer?

 

Tips for healthy skin.

So its summer which means everyone will either be a little bit more active than normal and their skin will being different conditions a.k.a the beach, trails, pool, water-parks, etc.

Recently my skin stopped responding to the "Original' Neutrogena Face Wash (it's the orange one) and I stated to use the 3-in-1 face wash by Mary Kay...which didn't help me at all.

So finally my mom went out and came back with the Neutrogena Naturals face wash.

I can not explain how much I love this cleanser! It could see a difference in my face within the first couple of days, its amazing. Along with using it I also exfoliate using a cute little tool. But sometimes I exfoliate using scrubs.

similar from Walmart

Alright so now that you all know what I use to clean my face I'll go into detail on step to healthy skin (ones that I know have helped me)

1. Wash your face twice a day & always take off makeup before bed: Washing your face when you first  wake up and after a long day at work or going out is essential to healthy skin. You skin needs to be free of all of the dirt it's received through the day and also its nice to get rid of unwanted oils. Removing makeup is important as well because you don't your pores to be unnecessarily clogged!(:

2. Moisturize: Just like how you arms, legs, and need lotion so do our faces! Giving your face the moisture it needs will promote healthy skin by eliminating dry spots, flaking, itching and I'm sure many more problems. 

3. Remove excess oil: What I have noticed in myself is that my face has a lot of extra oil. So what I do is remove it with Oil Blotting Sheets. I really like these sheets and I just pat them all over a few minutes after I apply whatever moisturizer I used for that day-they do an amazing job.

4. My last one is that I pop my pimples *gasp*: I mean if there is dirt, oil and dead skin cells under my skin I want them out! I know they say its not good due to scaring but, to be honest, I do it...I think every girl does lol. But I never pop them with my nails!!! If your going to pop pimples there is a "correct" way to do it; simply use the outside of fingers and push under the pimple. A nice way that I've found for less scaring and to reduce the puffiness that comes along with popping a pimple, I apply a dot a toothpaste to it. Leave it on for a few min or at least until it dries and voila!

I hope that these little tips helped you and gives you happier skin this summer!

Tell me below what you use for summer and if these work for ya!
