#NoWaistNovember

Neutrals
I haven't posted anything fitness related in a while, but those of you who follow me on IG know I've been keeping it up (yay me!!). I must admit I feel better than I have in a very long time & I'm definitely gonna continue this fitness thing! I know a thing guys (& some girls, yuck) do in November is "No Shave November" to prepare for the cold weather. Another thing people do in the winter is pack on the pounds. Now I get it, the stuff your face holidays are during this time but since when did gorging yourself for 2 days equal gaining 10 pounds in 2 months? Well if you're on your fitness tip & are silently dreading the cold like me, I'm here to help…

5/100 Challenge

Neutrals
So I think it's safe to say this isn't a fitness kick anymore. Ya girl is getting in a workout on the regular, eating healthier & basking in the results :-) I've been successful with short term goals & if it ain't broke don't fix it! Fitness challenges are pretty easy to find on IG so feast your eyes on the my latest project It requires no gym equipment, jus open space & willpower! I only started Monday so if you want to do it with me you still can. The goal is to build up to 100 continuous reps of the 5 exercises listed. If you decide to do the challenge with me post the pic & @ me so we can motivate each other & flaunt our progress!…

Get That Core Tight!

Neutrals
So how are you guy's fitness plans going? I'm not gonna lie, the struggle is REAL!! but I've managed to (for the most part) stick to eating healthier  & working out regularly. One of the main areas I'm focused on improving is my tummy. I don't have a gut but I'm tired of sucking it in & pretending I have a flat stomach -I wanna have a flat stomach whether I suck it in or not! & while we're at it, might as well shoot for some abs too. lol! Well luckily for me one of my favorite fitness gurus Get Bodied by J posted an intense ab workout this week!

Thank God For Medicated Chapstick & Raye Raye!!!

Neutrals
Obviously from the title of this site LIPS, LIPSTICK & the like are quite important to me. lol! So as you could imagine I wasn't pleased when my lips turned on me! Idk what was going on with my lips the past few weeks but out of nowhere they were cracking and dry -which doesn't look good no matter how much lipstick you try to cover it with! I LOVE my lipsticks & my lips in general & even though I'm not currently smooching anyone on the regular I still want my lips to look & feel kissable! At my lowest point & when I was close to tears I remembered a video I watched a while ago from one of my favorite youtube beauty gurus It's My Raye Raye,…

Spot the Block!!

Neutrals
[youtube http://youtu.be/unlhHbpukt8] All my cartoon lovers might remember that goody! It's a silly song but they're telling the truth. All the exercise in the world wont get you 100% results if your eating habits are bad. I know I'm guilty of grabbing a snack or fixing a plate full of food then stuffing (more like OVER-stuffing) my face.until I'm no longer hungry. Prime example- you grab a bottle of soda, juice or even one of those yummy Naked smoothies and down the whole thing. However if you had've "spot the block" before that, you'd see that only 8oz (about half the bottle) is the proper serving size. The issue is a lot of use are on the "see food" diet -we see food, we eat it. We're full but why waste…

About That Flat Abs Challenge . . . .

Neutrals
A couple a weeks ago I told you guys about MankoFit's Flat Abs Challenge & how I was taking that challenge. . . . Yeah, so about that. I fell completely off that thing. lol! I honestly tried my hardest & did pretty good up until Easter Sunday. I'm a southern girl so all that good cooking was calling my name & that was all she wrote! lol! The idea was awesome but that was too much for me starting out. Like many of you I don't more like haven't) made time for the gym in my daily schedule but I workout whenever I can. I noticed was pretty successful with my fast during Lent and I know an important part of getting the body you want is your diet…

Flat Abs Challenge

Like many of you, I made it a goal of mine (not gonna call it a new years resolution cause I started my journey in November) to get fit & have the hot body I always dreamed of!

One of the things that keeps me on track is instagram! I get to stalk my body crushes (I…

Evaluation Time!!!

Pinks
Look, I know you're busy (or like to seem busy) but when was the last time you took a step back and evaluated yourself? Well with the temps dropping & days getting shorter why not do a seasonal evaluation? At your job they log your progress to decide if you'll get a promotion or some other type of reward so you should rate your performance to see if your being the best (insert name here) that you can be! I discovered the power of the personal evaluation when I started my site. I'm moderately organized but when you start your own business or any new endeavor it's nice to have a check list to make sure you don't forget anything. Somewhere in the beginnings of it all I started applying…
