A little love on Saturday

Hi everyone! I wanted to do a quick post to say hello and to show you these cool leggings (Aztec-print, mind you) my sister and I found at Marshall's! I paired them with a white tank from Forever 21 and an over-sized cropped sweatshirt from Mudd. Normally I detest the brand Mudd but this sweater was so cute and my sister was cleaning out her closet so I snatched that bad boy up!

I do love Marshall's... even more that TJ Maxx. I don't know why but things are priced way better at Marshall's... case and point, these leggings: a whopping $6. I also got a pair of cotton trouser-style pants (I think the brand was Highway Jeans or something along those lines) for $7.

Total spent at Marshall's: $14 or near enough. It was a great day!
I hope that your weekend was fabulous! Have a blessed week!!

A little motivation

Ok, I have a quick update and some words of encouragement for you if you’re waning in the motivation department (for exercise that is).

I have been such a lazy bones lately and have worked out maybe 3 times in the last two weeks. Not good. Not good at all. So today, I was all ready to work out and then the blahs struck! I didn’t even really start my workout before I turned it off and jumped in the shower. Feeling mighty guilty about it, I decided to look up some motivating websites and I found one. This one to be exact:

http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/weight-loss/tips/motivation/recharge-your-exercise-motivation/

To my surprise, this author talks about how it only takes 3 days of inactivity to lose all the conditioning you’ve built up. Three days! If that won’t make you get your butt moving I don’t know what will! So I ended up finishing my workout and here I sit, sweaty but proud that I finished what I started.

So I suppose the moral of this story is that motivation comes in a variety of forms. If you find your motivation slipping away, just think about how great you feel afterwards, what an awesome thing you’re doing for your body, and if all else fails how your muscle conditioning that you worked so hard for is turning to mush as you sit on the couch (kidding, but not really)…

Have a great Thanksgiving Holiday! Make smart choices and God bless you all!

Holographic Nail Trend

Hi guys! I wanted to share with you a new polish that I hauled that follows the holographic nail trend that's big right now (or maybe it was big a while ago and I'm just now catching on...).


This polish is called Gray's Anatomy (I think the collection is named after TV shows but don't quote me) and it's by Wet and Wild. With a price tag of under $3, you can't really beat it. In the bottle it's a beautiful grey-purple/green holographic color. On the nails, it only casts a green-hue in the sunlight but it's over all a really pretty color. The photos don't do it justice but check it out next time you're at a store that carries Wet and Wild products!





These photos were after one full day of wear and about 3-4 coats. The initial application is slightly transparent and for full-coverage, needs at least 2-3 coats. It's quick drying so I didn't mind this so much! I'm trying to nurse my nails back to health so instead of using a base coat, I used Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps nail hardener.

What are your favorite holographic nail polishes?
