She’s gonna jump!

Livy girl is definitely my wild child! I’m so scared she will break a leg one of these days. The girl has no fear.

On the other hand, Champ is scared of everything!! While she was attempting to jump from couch to island, he was hiding under the covers.

These two seriously crack me up!!

You know what doesn’t crack me up? Waking up late – ugh! I seriously hate when I sleep through my alarm and miss my am workout like I did this morning..But, what’s done is done. I blame the stupid NBA finals. They just HAD to go into overtime! Anybody else watch? I’m a sucker for a good basketball game and/or MMA fight…those are the only two sports I follow and can get really into.

Starting my day with a good workout just makes the rest of the day SO much better but I can’t turn back time…no point in getting mad at myself over something I can’t change, right?

So the agenda for the day now is work, maybe Wegman’s for lunch since it’s so nice out, and a PM workout instead. When you have a goal, planning is so important but the ability to be flexible can make or break you.

Sometimes things don’t go as we planned so it’s important to be able to work around your plans instead of giving up or saying, “fu*# it” until the next day. I say this because I know a lot of you are planners too and enjoy following a rigid schedule.  Although developing habits, planning and following a structured schedule are great tools for success, it’s so important to understand shit happens and not beat yourself up or give up over spilled milk. Stay focused and push through he road blocks.

Clearly, I’m giving myself a pep talk here ; )

Okay, done rambling for now. I’ll leave you myself with a little fitspiration

Top Ten Bargain Beauty Swaps

by Brittany on June 18, 2013

Top Ten Tuesday: Bargain Beauty Swaps

A while back I posted a depressing story about having to switch from designer to drug store bb cream. Even more depressing, my other designer beauty products were running out and would need to be replaced by their less expensive counterparts.

Talk about First World Problems, right? Well the time came and I lived to talk about it. Imagine that!

 Here are my Top Ten Bargain Beauty Swaps

1.) Sephora Tinted Body Mist over Pricy tanning bed packages and spray tanning

5.) Revlon Neverending Nude over NARS Orgasm lip gloss

7.) Foam Rolling over Deep Tissue Message

8.) Sticking with Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Eyeliner instead of wasting money trying a dozen cheaper options that just don’t work

Stila - Stay All Day® Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner

9.) Tresemme Two Extra Hold over Big Sexy Hair Hairspray

10.) A Teasing Brush that can be used time and time again over any volumizing hair product

Randomness

06.14.2013

I was seriously dragging today. I don’t have days like that often but today was one of them. Maybe that’s because I was still doing this at 830 last night….. Oops! Lesson learned. Despite feeling like a Zombie I DID find it in me to make it to Wegmans after work. I know, I’m such [...]
