Fitness in a Funk
As I have already announced- I have a nasty sore throat/cold. EW. It has been hanging around for about 4 days now and sitting on the couch being blah and trying to recuperate isn't working for me anymore. I want to workout- I NEED to workout- but I don't want to make myself sicker! So here are some easy- low key workout moves that will keep muscles working and toned without too much cardiovascular effort to hurt lungs and throat!
1: 3-5 sets of 60 second plank pose. I love that holding yourself still can be a workout!
2. 3-5 sets (each side) of 60 second side planks
3. 3-5 sets of 25 reps of bent leg Donkey Kicks
4. 3-5 sets of 10 reps with 3-10 pound weights:
So there you have it! It's a little activity which will tighten and work your muscles but not overwork your sick self! This can also be done if you are not necessarily sick but just feeling kind of blah and not feeling like a full workout.

Gold AND Sparkly?! Yes please!
I've been seeing ads for Sally Hansen Nail polish strips for awhile now- and wrote them off immediately as too good to be true. However, when I was working the other night this girl had ADORABLE patterned nails which she said were none other than SALLY HANSEN NAIL POLISH STRIPS! What?! Not only that, but she said they had lasted her 12 days already with no chips. AH! I went to check them out and found Glitz Blitz which is a sparkly gold- are you kidding me? I bought them immediately- just finished applying them- and here are the results!
Sorry, the picture isn't great- I took it with my phone- but YAY! They definitely took awhile to put on- about an hour total- but I went all out:
Cleaned, buffed and filed my nails AND did a base coat. Put each strip on meticulously and then did a top coat. I wanted to make sure I got good wear out of these things! At $10 a piece they are cheaper than a manicure with the same look- and hopefully they will last longer! (I'll keep you updated). Also, if you are like me and have short nails you can cut each strip in half and use the other half when you need to do them again which brings it down to $5 a "manicure". AH- MAY-ZING!
Check them out here. My next purchase will definitely be "misbehaved"!

Back in Black
Hello lovers! So it has been over a MONTH since my last post. I'm so sorry for the delay! Life has gotten the best of me! It's a cold, dreary day here in LA la land- and I'm sick- BOO! But it gives me some time to pause and catch up with the blog- yay! I've decided to come Back in Black- because almost nothing looks better with Gold than black ;)
