Merry Christmas Eve!

Season's Greetings, everyone!
I hope that you're all having a great morning/afternoon with your loved ones! Matt and I decided to do our Christmas exchange today because we'll be visiting family tomorrow. These are the things my love picked out for me! I adore the watch and the mittens... I was super excited to see the mittens because my hands are sooooo tiny that most gloves that I have are way too big for them. These fit perfectly AND are insulated (thinsulated as it were) plus, I love the alpine-ish pattern on them! So cute!

I'm also really excited to try out the Ripped in 30, I might have to wait until after my wisdom teeth are extracted to fully dive into the 30 day challenge but I have heard some great things about it and am so excited to work my hiney off... literally.

Other major plans for this evening consist of vegging out to Christmas movies (maybe even a little Harry Potter?) and enjoying a Christmas roast: chicken, potatoes, parsnips, oh my! I'm feeling all cozy just thinking about it. I hope that you have a very Merry Christmas and a wondrous new year.

Blessings,
Camella

Hi guys!

I wanted to share the workouts I did this morning. They are by Cassey Ho at Blogilates.com and you can find them here. I actually finished both of them (!) and they were mean! The workouts were for beginners so if you’re new to Pilates (like me) then the instructor goes over the form and breathing techniques pretty thoroughly.

I really love this type of workout because you can feel it work and tone every single muscle - legs, arms, abs, glutes, everything! And the instructor is really motivating so I find that I’m more able to complete the workouts.

I’ve been feeling really down about my fitness and not really enjoying it that much lately so I wanted to try something new and get out of my comfort zone a bit and this was the perfect solution for me. I highly encourage you to try something new if you’re in the dreaded fitness rut. We can do this, we can have healthy, strong bodies. But the only way to make that happen is to challenge yourself!

Revlon "Carbonite" Nail Polish

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to do a quick post on a new nail polish that I got over the weekend. It's by Revlon and it's called Carbonite. It's a beautiful dark grey base with fine silver shimmer. Just gorgeous on the nails!



It only takes about two coats to be completely opaque and I'm in love! I'll do an update on how it wears throughout the upcoming weekend!


I also bought another nail polish by Orly called Rage. It's an absolutely perfect rose-gold color... more on that later :)

Have a wonderful Friday!
