All Deez Squats…

Neutrals

I don't always workout when I'm supposed to (more like hardly ever these days!) but one thing I don't miss is my squats!! Thanks Idris! lol! I follow a lot of fitness pages & one thing that irks me is the disbelief that hard work & dedication can give you the body that you want. More specifically get you the booty you want! That's how you get everything else you want in life, why wouldn't your body be the same?! I've never been a big booty chick (or even a medium! I'm more of a super smedium) but being a black female, I can honestly say I've been body conscious about it since at least high school. When I started getting in to fitness it was purely to get healthy…

Lipstick Adventures

Plums

I told you guys I moved. New city, new adventures right? Wrong! Unfortunately it seems I've become such a hermit!! Wake up, off to work, head back home -that's my life these days. Smh. One thing that always puts some pep in my step is hanging out with my bestie, Bri!! She came with her sister to visit & we had a blast playing tourist! Here's some pics! Unique consignment furniture store, Two Women & a Warehouse Usie! lol! Toni, myself & Bri (don't you jus love her red lips!) *Muah!* I like it dirty ;-) lol! Dirty Marshmallow Pop from Savannah Sweets Pictures in the mirror, pictures in the mirror... lol!

Well, potentially…

Reds

I didn't wanna bum anybody out with this yesterday since it was Valentine's Day & all but I gotta get this off my chest. So here goes! Idk about you but I'm so fed up with dating someones potential. Don't know what I'm talking about? That's when you're with someone that's below your "list", your requirements in a man because he has THE POTENTIAL to be that man you want. You probably even convinced yourself that the reason he hasn't reached that potential is because he hasn't met the right woman to motivate him & believe in him & blah blah blah. No offense boo boo, but if the last chick couldn't do it, what makes your "purse", as Tamar says, so special?! It ain't an easy pill to swallow…

Late Night Thoughts

Pinks

I jumped out the shower to share this with y'all. Hey, sometimes when something hits you you jus gotta write it down! I just moved & I was already in a rut 3 weeks in -one that didn't include Blondie's. Not my happiest of times either. But in my lack of entertainment (hadn't hooked up the cable & my neighbor's wifi wasn't that reliable) I took the time to write. The passion that sparked what's now Blondie's Lipstick, the motive behind my broadcast journalism career, my original love that I always planned to return to. Had another moment like this one: fresh out the shower, idea/thought turning backflips in my head, headed straight to the MacBook or my spiral notebook to jot it down. I'm noticing a pattern.... Lol! Anywho,…

That New New!!

Reds

It's almost a new year and for many it's the time to make resolutions you won't keep and fill up social media with the "New Year, New Me" posts. In the words of a typical 80's teen "UGH!!! Gag me with a spoon!" lol! Look I get that a new year is a great time to restart your life but before you have the gaul to let those fingers type those words or your lips utter that phrase, look around you- if you made that same status last year but ain't a damn thing changed & you have yet to make any moves to do so, SPARE US!!! Yes, speaking it into existence is important but if no ACTION follows you're just wasting your breathe! Some of you may be…

Results Are In!!

Neutrals

Well my dears, #NoWaistNovember has come to an end! I'm happy & sad to see it go! Not to mention the year is slipping away. Before you know it it'll be swimsuit season & we'll be showing off all the hard work we've been doing! Speaking of showing off, I told you guys I'd share my results from #NoWaistNovember & here they are: I ordered & received my waist cincher on week 2 & I can tell the difference. You can also tell the difference between week 3 & week 4- yeah, I fell prey to the "Thanksgiving & slack on the gym" bug. Lol! Regardless of that my waist did shrink from 29" to 27 1/2" over the month!! I wish it would have shrunk more but there's only…

#NoWaistNovember

Neutrals

It's the last week of November!!! -you know what that means, we've made it to the home stretch!! Don't give up now!! Idk about you but it's a slim (& I mean SUPER slim) chance I'll reach my goals by the 30th & I'm okay with that!! My body has changed for the better these past few weeks & I know my fitness journey is far from over! This week we're gonna go out in a blaze of glory! I mean, we're practically ab experts at this point PLUS the biggest cheat day on the planet (aka Thanksgiving) is this week & we should prepare for all the damage we're possibly going to do. #thestruggle lol! Week 4 Time to sweat it out for mouth-dropping midriff like @followthelita!! Let's start…

#NoWaistNovember

Neutrals

Can you feel the burn?!! Alright guys, it's week 3 and by now you should be good in your routine & noticing some changes. You might not have the rock hard abs or the flat tummy you want, but perhaps you've noticed a slimmer silhouette or a stronger core. No victory is too small!! I'm having a SUPER busy week -one of those weeks when you hafta schedule everything (including sleep!) in order to get it all done. But that's still no excuse for missing a workout! As my new gym pal Jesmon told me "Being in the gym all day doesn't mean anything. You can be in the gym for hours & not do anything, or come in for about 30mins everyday & get in a quick, but effective…

#NoWaistNovember

Neutrals

So you've been focusing on your core all week & perhaps you haven't seen much of a change. That's okay!! Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day! & don't let others discourage you from your goal! Now on to this weeks exercises! **I am NOT a fitness expert!!!!** I'm simply sharing routines, exercises & recipes I use I decided to kick my waist training up a notch by ordering a waist cincher (aka a corset). One of my favorite fitness gurus, Jenelle aka GetBodiedBy_J, posted some pics of herself exercising with it on her IG & being that I dream of a banging body like hers I decided to do the same! If y'all coulda seen me tryna wrestle to get this thing on..... Lol! I've only worn it twice…
