Get "Fit" for Life, Not Just for the Summer - Why Beach Body?

Let's face it!  Sometimes we all need a good hard DO-OVER, NEW CHAPTER or a RESET!  To kick off a NEW year and another NEW version of ME I decided to commit myself to the 21 day Ultimate Reset program. 

After doing SO MUCH research on where I wanted to take my health in the new year I decided to take the leap and dive right into Beach Body's most challenging yet rewarding program. 

Before, I dive into the details on the Ultimate Reset (on other blog posts) I want to note the reasons WHY I continue to choose Beach Body programs over all others! 

#1. SUPPORT 

For most of us, we look to have support and encouragement as we are working towards our goals.  More often than not our own families, friends and households don't provide us with that support we need to get the most from working and achieving our goals.  The Beach Body programs COME WITH a community!  A community of people using the SAME programs, the SAME products and working towards the SAME or similar results.  The community is what truly sets Beach Body apart from the competitors!  

#2. LASTING RESULTS 

Beach Body as a whole (community, coaches, company & all) take pride in TEACHING people how to get results and maintain the results.  There's ZERO quick fixes, there's no patch, pill, supplement, or magic potion that's going to get you results unless you WORK for them.  Beach Body TEACHES us the skill sets needed to achieve results and KEEP results.  It is a LIFESTYLE change not a quick fix!  Tackling obesity, depression, anxiety, body dysmorphia, eating disorders, heart disease, cancer and more; TOGETHER as a community we make great things happen! 

#3. ZERO GUESS WORK 

The Beach Body programs TRULY take the guess work out from nutrition (what do I eat?) and workouts (what body part do I work out and how?).

If you can read and watch a movie or tv then you can easily get results with Beach Body programs!  EACH and EVERY program comes with a workout (each day is different), workout calendar, nutrition guide, recipes, and portion control containers.  We are TRULY teaching you how to FISH for a lifetime not just eat for a day! 

A Graduation to Remember

Yesterday's graduation was one I will remember for a LIFETIME!  My gorgeous STUNNING, talented and now MEGA educated mother graduated from the HCC Nursing program!  I can honestly say I have NEVER felt so proud of someone my ENTIRE life. 

This graduation definitely required a much needed celebration for her accomplishment with great company!  So obviously I had to go all out on my makeup! 

I captured a subtle winged eye liner with my Perfect Eye Liner Pen by LimeLight.  This pen doesn't smudge and lasted beautifully through MANY tears!  As my mother is a breast cancer survivor I couldn't help but remember just how precious this moment was as she is HERE with us!  Not everyone is able to survive through the fight but she was.  Not to mention that my grandmother passed away nearly a year ago and was not sitting in the audience to watch my mom walk across the stage receiving her pin.  With that said the tears were MANY and this eyeliner did not let me down!  On my eyes, I've got only TWO coats of the Perfect Mascara which made as an amazing companion to this smudge proof eye liner.  Again, this mascara stayed perfectly in place!  This mascara is sure to please and mega easy to apply; there are fibers baked right into this mascara to provide volume AND length with one easy application.  Skipping that 1, 2, 3 process and avoiding fibers from falling into my eyes.  

What's LimeLight by Alcone?

I will admit in the past I NEVER really gave much thought about what I put on my skin.  In the past I had actually no care or concern about what I had put inside my body either.  But, as I am approaching my last year in my twenties (insert sad face) I have been taking both of these things more seriously. 

Aside from not looking 90 when I am 60, I want to FEEL amazing inside and out.  Sound familiar? 

What we put on our skin is JUST as important as what we put into our body, our skin makes up our LARGEST organ!  Your skin accounts for about 16% of your body weight on average.  What you put ON your body goes IN your body! 

Insert Lime Light by Alcone!  The products are professional grade, paraben free, chemical free, all natural, most are vegan (foundation is made of bees wax) and all are bouncing bunny approved which means they are CRUELTY free!  And, let's not forget the PIGMENTATION!  

I originally fell head over heels for their foundation which applied SO SMOOTHLY like BUTTER on my face and didn't make my oily skin EXTRA oily.  After a few months of using the foundation, concealer, blush, setting powder and bronzer I decided I loved this stuff SO MUCH I was going to start talking about it.

My kit arrived with a skincare line and honestly I was just planning to give it away.  But, something inside me told me to give it a try.  So I did and HOLY COW!  My skin is no longer covered in oil, I don't have to blot my face with a tissue AND my breakouts are GONE.  My makeup lasts an ENTIRE day and even through a workout (I don't advise working out in make up but hey it happens).  

I can honestly say I will never go back to any other cleanser, moisturizer, serum and mask combo again!

5 Steps to Overcoming Public Humiliation

It's been nearly 3 months since my "break up" from my best friend and the public shaming that went along with it.  I've taken some time to process all that transpired and the ultimate decline of what I thought was a life long friendship.

I know I am not the only one who has experienced one of those tacky, unnecessary, hurtful "Dear Ex-Best Friend" letters, as it seems that publicly humiliating someone you once cared for is a new trend.  They're alllll over the internet so I know there are MANY of us who sit in silence recovering from this humiliation on our own.

But, we don't have to.  If you're going through this whole debacle like I did check out the 5 things you can do to overcome and unleash your inner badass! 

The HARD Truth About Being the Skinny Girl

I have been tiny my ENTIRE life.  I never realized I was technically smaller than everyone else until after hitting puberty when all of my other girl friends were growing massive breasts and their asses were increasing by the second.

Measurements & Progress Photos

Measuring & tracking your fitness progress is just as important as getting those workouts in and following your meal plans.  Results don't happen unless you put in the work; but what happens when the scale isn't telling you the truthful story or your pants fit loosely even though the scale says you've gained 5 pounds rather than lost.
