How much makeup do I wear?!?!...

I received an email asking "What's your makeup beauty secret?!?" Well to be honest I wear two things! Eye liner and mascara. Yup thats it! It's not because I dont't like makeup it's because I simply don't know how to apply makeup or what shades are right for my skin tone. Below are my two fav's!

BACON AND EGG OPEN FACE BREAKFAST

 

 

 

Good morning!

 

Well its Thursday which means the weekend is almost here! I haven't got much sleep this week and i didn't get a chance to meal prep on Sunday.... ughh I hate when that happens! It's been crazy busy! So all week I've been eating meals that require very little time to make. Above is one of my fav's! It's healthy very simple and very quick to make. All you have to do is:

 

1. Crack 1 egg in a small round bowl and microwave for 35 seconds.

2. Put 2 strips of low fat low sodium turkey/chicken bacon in microwave for 2min.

3. Cut a slice of tomato

4. Slice 1/4 of an avocado

5. Spread 1Tbsp of hummus on Rice cake

6. Layer the rest of the ingredients on rice cake

7. Eat and ENJOY!

Abs Abs Abs...

Good morning everyone!

The other day I was working out at the gym and a young lady came up to me and asked me what she has to do to get abs. I have been asked this question a lot and I've noticed people think just by doing 300 crunches a day you will get abs....is this right?! Well in my opinion and many others opinion NO this is not the case! To get abs you have to do a combination of things for example; eat clean, cardio and doing exercises that target all the different muscles in the core area. Eating clean doesnt mean restricting yourself from carbs or fat it means balancing your carbs, fats and proteins. doing 30 minutes of cardio each workout is a must in my books! This might sound weired but if i dont do cardio I dont feel as lean and toned..crazy I know! Doing exercises that target all the different muscles in the core is also important. Doing 300 crunches just doesnt cut it, you have to do exercises that move in multi directions and that target all muscles. Below is a picture that shows the different muscles in the core area to help get a better idea..

My blog has workouts and eat clean recipes so I hope this helps those of you who are wanting those toned washboard abs!

Have a great day!

Zara's My New Fav!

Hey!

I am absolutely obsessed with Zara's! I love love love it! I could seriously spend and hour shopping and trying on things in that store...I think you get the picture! They are actually reasonably priced which makes me love the store even more. Any who below is an outfit I purchased. I bought a knit sweater for $20.00, these amazing navy blue leggings (I'm going back to buy more colours) for $40.00 and a pair of nude flats with a small gold heel for $40.00. Grand total for my purchase is about $100.00. The last two pay checks Ive put left over money aside so I could do some fall shopping, this is a good way to keep on a budget and not spend crazy money on shopping especially if you are a shopaholic like me!

Have a Great day Everyone!

Show Transformation in Progress!

Hey everyone!

So I'm in the process of getting ready for my first Bikini Competition which is in November. I have completely changed my diet and workouts. Instead of eating 3 meals and 2 snacks a day I eat smaller meals every 2-3 hours! I actually eat more than i did before changing my diet. I actually prefer eating smaller meals every couple hours I am never hungry and never overly full. As for my workouts well I use to do cardio plus full body weight training with lighter weights 6 days a week. I still workout 6 days a week and do cardio but I train different muscle groups each day with heavier weights. I've noticed a change and I actually like my new diet and workout regime better than before! Here is a picture of my transformation so far...
