Workout Gear

I am having a really hard time. I cannot find the perfect workout clothes. I require the high-waisted pants so I can feel all tucked in and that middle stuff just does not fly. I want to make them into high waisted by hiking them up, which results in big ol camel toe. Nike pants just do not work. Oakley is meh, the pair I have would be fabulous if they went a tad higher. The fabric is high quality and have lasted through many a workouts. I have found that Reebok & Adidas are the best for fit, but have found they lose their shape after time and then I am always the girl pulling on her pants. Shirts are a bit easier, I want cute tops that don’t cling. Where oh where have the perfect workout clothes gone? I did just recently buy a pair of Nike Free runners and love them. They look and feel cool. The first few runs did hurt, as you are using new muscles with a new style of shoe. But now they feel great and my shin splints aren’t AS BAD. Let me know where you get your gea

A New Use for Coconut Oil

I do a lot of things that Pinterest tells me to. Foolish? I will probably have some fails to share with you in the near future. We all know that coconut oil has many uses are it is fun to keep exploring to see what works for me. One use that popped up on my feed, was to use it as a face wash. 1. Rub coconut all over face. 2. Place a hot/warm cloth over the face for 10-15 seconds to open pores and allow more oil in. 3. Wash off excessive coconut oil. 4. Feel how clean and moisturized your face is! I no longer need to put moisturizer on after washing my face. To know why this works: Over Thrown Martha

{Review} Purple Shampoo & Conditioner

I am not completely sold on this, I have used various brands from drug store to salon and I don’t notice a huge difference. That being said, I wouldn’t stop using it to find out what would happen if I were to switch. I know. Terrible review. But let me know your thoughts.

The perfect manicure

It is an urban myth, it doesn’t actually happen, does it? I always swear I am never going to get another professional manicure because I figure I can do a better job  and most of the time that is true. But I always seem to keep going back…you can’t have a pedi without a mani? It is inhumane. Even when I do it myself and am oh so careful and take my time, something always gets fucked up. Why oh why!?

PCOS Update

It has been over a year since I last discussed my PCOS. I kept seeing my naturopath and with her help I am basically symptom free. Before: Horrible PMS At 3pm my body would shut down Bad joints Bad sleeping habits Now: Take magnesium for joints Cut out as much carbohydrates, sugar & caffeine as possible Exercise way more Take iron, Inositol, B complex, vitamin D drops Better sleep, not perfect. I can work throughout the day and still have energy to go workout after work, which is incredible in itself since I would just go home and lay around until bedtime. Exercise has helped with PMS, I still feel it sometimes but it is usually only a few hours where I want to kill everyone and eat everything. I also think it has helped me sleep better. Seriously, AOR Magnesium Malmate is amazing for sore muscles and joints. I take 2 at dinner, making me less restless at night and feel little to no DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). My weight is stil

My Last October

Seriously though, what was I thinking? I challenged my boyfriend to running 100k in the month of October. 5 days in an I am ready to give in the towel. I got the idea from someone on Instagram. They did it, why can’t I? I had all but stopped running because after the Sporting Life 10K (which ended up being very painful) I decided running wasn't for me. I thought I gave it my all and it never gave me much in return. Until the pounds started returning and creeping up… Now I have come to realize it is a necessary evil. Crossfit just isn't doing it for me, so I am going to supplement it with running. Why the crazy amount of KMs? I also have a cruise coming up that I would like to comfortably wear a bikini for. Wish me luck.
