Fitness Series | Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide

-
A late post from last week, but here's the run-down: 

 Monday I decided to startup Kayla Itsines' Bikini Body Guide (BBG) again on week 17. I'm redoing the initial guide I have and I'm on week 5. I forgot how intense the workout are! I was definitely sore the next day and a little bit still the day after. I don't exactly follow the guides (and maybe that's why I'm not seeing a bunch of progress) but I like to do one round of her BBG workouts and then the other half (14 minutes) of just other workouts. I've never really enjoyed a lot of repetition in my workouts; I like to mix things up. So I did one round of the BBG workouts and then I followed it with various leg/glutes exercises. 

 Tuesday Since I was so sore the next day, I did just some simple leg stretch exercises. I did a 20 minute Gentle Yoga Stretches with Yoga by Candace. I then did a 10 minute Developing Lotus Flexibility to help with Yoga Sitting Positions. I was also invited to become a PumpUp Partner! I was definitely super pumped about this invitation! I love the app PumpUp, it's just the most positive fitness community you could ever imagine 😀

Wednesday I did a yoga routine with Boho Beautiful called Morning Yoga Perfection that was about 20 minutes long and then I just practiced headstands and yoga poses. 

Thursday I did day two of week 17 BBG workouts. I then followed it with Pamela RF's 10 Minute Intense Ab Workout // No equipment. It's one of my favorite ab workout routines and can always depend on it to get a good ab workout. I then followed it with 20 flies with 5 lb weights and some Theraband exercises (25 each bicep and tricep pull ups, back overhead tricep pull, over hear side pull downs, back chest press pulls)

Friday I just ate a healthy meal (Quinoa, tomato, avocado salad) and decided to take a rest day.

Saturday I did the third workout of the week 17 BBG and then various exercises with my little sister. I did 25 reps of bridges, leg lifts, russian twists, rainbow leg lifts, donkey kicks, fire hydrants, etc. (I can't remember everything I did). I then made some delicious oatmeal, egg white, banana pancakes that were sooo tasty. I bascially followed this guys' waffle recipe video, but made pancakes instead. I topped it with almond bits, and coconut shreds.

Hope your week was beautiful! ♡

14 Day Hair Challenge by Sarah Tran || Review

This year was not what anyone expected with the pandemic happening, but it has allowed us to spend a lot of time at home which gives us extra time to do things we wouldn't normally do.  Earlier this year I tried the "no-shampoo" method. At first it was great, but then after 2 weeks, my head was going insane! I eventually came across this 14 Day Hair Challenge by Sarah Tran. I don't remember exactly which platform I saw it on, probably Instagram, but immediately I thought I should try it. Her hair was beautifully long, and she's Asian! It also helped me decide, since the last shampoo/conditioner I had bought were both more expensive than the challenge, and it was advertised that you'd be making a shampoo at-home, which I've always wanted to try. During the "no-poo" days, I did do some apple cider vinegar and egg rinses, but nothing that left my hair feeling super great.  The 14 Day Hair Challenge was quite interesting, and not entirely what I expe...

Review | Online shops - Zaful and Goodmanity

Those online store ads on Facebook and Instagram actually got me! Below is my quick review on a couple of my recent online store purchases from Zaful and Goodmanity. Zaful  The handful of items purchased. This shirt seems like pretty alright quality. The label also states that it's sweatshop free, which is awesome. ($14.25) This sweater is quite cute! The color and fit are both very nice. The packaging was also sleek in the Zaful ziplock bag. ($16.99). I'm not one to spend much on clothes, so $16.99 was kind of expensive to me, but this sweater is unique and worth it. You definitely get what you paid for. When I put on the first necklace (gold without the bead - $2.56), one of the metal circles was too loose and it fell apart. Although it was an easy fix with putting the metal back into the circle, it's definitely not something that should be necessary to do when you buy an item. The other two necklaces have not broken (yet). Overall though, the necklaces are...

Materials of 2018 | May

Summer months fly by too quick! Now that I'm looking back at April, I did NOT do good at all for May. Definitely spent too much on materials...and accumulated too many items. Update on April items (Note this is written in July) Meat raffle haul:  I have used the stick ons for cards.  I sometimes remember to take B12.  I am currently still using the pop socket.  I've been still using the top coat when I paint my nails.  Goodwill haul:  The purple dress' strap broke in our dryer! So I just superglued it as a quick resolution...  I love the T-shirt dress and actually just wore it today for church lol I have yet to use the picnic basket or try the weaving stuff.  I've worn the leather jacket a couple times (I actually totally forgot I even got it, but hey, it's summer)  The bag I've worn a couple time.  I have yet to wear the hawaiian shirt or the black shirt. After the wash, the black shirt seems to fit only. Asian stor...
