My Meals Monday: July 27, 2015

Todays My Meals Monday post is going to be a little different as I failed twice to film this correctly and didn't take any photos so instead I will just leave you with this video as well as todays Sims 4 video.

Thoughts Thursday: Nike Zoom Fit Agility

About a month ago I purchased the Nike Zoom Fit Agility, I did an unboxing of them which you can see here, but during that video I said I would do a review of them after some time went by, so lets jump in...

The first thing I realized about these shoes is they run small so you will want to get these in a size up.

Also they have a mesh outside and then a liner on the inside, unfortunitly I have a problem with my liner bunching up and so I have to take my shoe off, remove the laces, straighten the liner, relace, and then put my shoes back on.

The pods on the bottom of the shoes are covered with a very thin layer of rubber, unfortunately there isn't any real grip to them so if you are on a wet surface like wet grass, or wet concrete you are going to be slipping and sliding all over the place.

In the end I regret buying these shoes, as well as I didn't see any benefit from the pods on the bottom.

I would love to hear your thoughts on these shoes if you have them, and here is the video review for this post.

Workout Wednesday: Whats In My Gym Bag

For todays Workout Wednesday I thought I would go through and show you guys everything I carry with me to the gym. Also can I just mention how cute are Charlie and Louis in this thumbnail, I love how they mange to be in every single video I have put up for the last 2 years!

Here is my Whats In My Gym Bag Video....

Tutorial Tuesday: How I Curl My Fine Hair

As you all know I have very fine hair, I also live in Hawaii which means I deal with a ridiculous amount of humidity and that makes it very hard to maintain a well planned and executed hairstyle, so for todays Tutorial Tuesday I thought I would show you guys how I curl my hair and what products I use to make it last through the whole day and into the next.

For this tutorial you will need:

A Tangle Teezer

Garnier Beach Chic Textuizing Spray

Tiresome Heat Protection

Garnier Anti-Humidity Hair Spray

Bellami Curling Wand

The first thing you want to do is comb your hair until its completely smooth, then spray your hair thoroughly with the texturizing spray and then brush through.

Then pray your hair with the heat protection and again brush through.

Then section your hair off so your starting with the bottom half of your hair, and working from your back part foreword spray each section with the texturizing spray, when I curl my hair I curl 1 strand away from my face, then 1 strand towards my face, and then I repeat for the rest of my hair. After I complete a section spray the section with the hair spray and then repeat on the next section.

After your done spray your entire head with the hairspray and then using your fingers gently work it into your roots, this will provide volume as well as it will make your hair style last longer. I like to shake out my curls but because I have very fine hair and its hard for it to hold a curl, I don't like to run my fingers through the actual curl, just a little head shaking will do it. Also if you don't wash your hair this curl will turn into light waves the next day.

And now your ready to take on the world!

This is how it looks from the back, when I finish.

Here is the video I made for this post, it will give you a little bit better insight into what I do and how I do it.

My Meals Monday: July 20, 2015

Today has been the craziest day ever for me, it started off with Don coming down with the flu, (I would just like to point out men are total babies when it comes to getting sick lol), and it ended with me doing a midnight run to the airport for my neighbor, so I unfortunately don't have any actual pictures of what I ate today, I did however remember to vlog it in between my pool time, nurse duties, and errand girl duties lol. So here is todays My Meals Monday.

Thoughts Thursday: June Favorites

Well another month has come and gone, which means it's time for my monthly favorites, unfortunately my camera/computer isn't working with me right which means that I was unable to get the pictures and last little bit of video off my camera, so here is this months favorites video, minus the ending, as well as today's Daily Vlog....

Workout Wednesday: Where I'm At With My Fitness

For Workout Wednesday I thought I would do a post on where I am at as far as my fitness routine and level go...So as you guys know I got sick at the end of June as was down for about 2 weeks from that, but I have started back in the gym and I'm going 7 days a week, I use my Polar FT4 Heart Rate monitor to track my calories burned, I also use the Kayla Itsines BBG for my circuit training. I have decide to start the BBG over as I was only on week 3 when I got sick and feel that missing those 2 weeks has set me back to the beginning so on Monday I started from the beginning and feel really good about this decision, I have 105 days until my birthday and I'm hoping to be at 130lbs by then, its not my full on goal weight but it's a huge step closer, because of that I need to be hitting the gym daily and watching my diet very closely but I have become a bit of a gym addict as of late and feel really positive about the future!

Here is todays Main Channel, Daily Vlog, and Gaming Channel Video...

Tutorial Tuesday: My Hot Humid Makeup Look Drugstore

Lately it has been so hot and humid here in Hawaii that I cannot bring myself to wear anything on my face, sadly though I feel like I need to have something on in order to run my day to day errands, so I created a little look for myself that not only takes 5-10 minutes flat, but also doesn't make me feel like my "makeup" face is melting off my "real" face lol

For this I used the Maybelline the Nudes Palette, Nyx Eye Base, Rimmel ScandalEYEs Mascara and Revlon Chubby Stick in Just bitten.

I used the second color on the bottom row to fill in my brows.

I then used the NYX eye base as a primer on my eyelids, then I applied the 3rd color on the top row from my lash line to my brow bones, followed by the 2nd color on the top row swept through the crease, then used the 2nd to last color on the button row all over my lids. I then used a liner brush to apply the last color on the top row to my upper lash line, followed by the 1st color on the bottom row along my lower lash line.

Then sweep the mascara over your lashes followed by the Revlon Lip Stick and then use your finger to lab at the lip stick so it looks more natural...and your done!

My Meals Monday: July 13, 2015

So I was super naughty and forgot to take a picture of my oatmeal this morning, but I figure its probably ok seeing as how I eat this almost everyday so you guys are probably used to it by now lol.

Lunch:

For lunch I made a tuna sandwich and then added in a little bit of Deviled Egg Potato Salad and it was so amazing, I wish I could eat this everyday, but something tells me potato salad is not great for the diet lol.

Dinner:

Don and I decided to have a fun dinner tonight as we were really enjoying vegging out on the sofa and watching movies so we ordered some Chicken wings, Ribs, and a House Salad from Outback for dinner.

I realized I was getting dehydrated because of how hot and humid it was here today so I drank this coconut water to try and rehydrate me as quickly as possible because I was actually getting a really bad headache.

Evening:

Before I go to bed I always like to enjoy a nice cup of tea whilst winding down from the day, its also the perfect time for me to take my vitamins as they always make me feel sick, these are prenatal vitamins, but I am not pregnant, as I have mentioned before this was recommended to me by my doctor as I have trouble getting and retaining vitamins and minerals.

So that is everything I had today, here is todays Main Channel, Daily Vlog, and Gaming Channel Video.

Style Sunday: Hot Humid OOTD

I don't know about you guys but the weather here in Hawaii has been incredibly hot and humid lately, so I have been sporting a lot of outfits like this one... aka loose and light fabrics lol.

The shirt is from Calvin Klien, the shorts are a pretty tribal print from Ross, and my shoes are my pink and gold Guess flip flops.

Here is todays Main Video, Daily Vlog, and Gaming Video. Also HERE is a link to the 500 Subscriber giveaway, if your interested!

Tutorial Tuesday: Tanya Burr Smokey Eye For Glasses Wearers: My DrugStore Version

About 2 months ago Tanya Burr uploaded her "Makeup For Glasses Wearers" look, and I completely fell head over heals for it, the only down side was its quite a costly look to achieve, so I thought I would create my own drugstore version of this and share it will all of you!
