MOTIVATE!


For the past few months, I have been less enthusiastic about going to the gym. I love working out, always have, always will, but my constant routine easily got me to a plateau. So girls, I knew I had to do something, and something I did do. I have been wanting to highlight my hair for the longest time but did not want to spend the big bucks at the salon nor do a horrible job myself at home. In light of my recent lackluster effort at the gym, I decided to use highlighting as a major motivator for getting my butt into gear. Now I am a mere week away from my goal and beautiful tresses. I told myself I had to get myself to the gym everyday M-F for a month and work hard to be able to get the highlight. Now I am almost there. I will post a picture of my new hairstyle once I find the time to make it to the salon. My favorite place is called the Clip Joint. Super cute, don't you think?! Do you have any workout motivation tips?

Pilates, please


Sometimes, fashion isn't enough. You've got to to tone your tush, sweat off the calories and work hard to get some svelte arms. It isn't easy, but there are some ways to make it more fun. I just discovered the wonderful world of pilates. I bought a DVD for $5 at the lovely Wal-Mart, and I was well on my way. Here are some good things to get if you want to hop on the pilates train. Just remember, you might want to try this by yourself before showcasing your skills in front of others. Some of these exercises are not only tough but could make you collapse in laughter while thinking about how ridiculous you look...
