Its Been a While..

Hello all my lovely readers!

First, let me apologize. It has been quite sometime since my last post. Things have gotten a bit out of hand on my end, sorry for that. My promise isn't that I won't take a long time to post, but it is a promise to always keep you informed.

So where have I been?

School, work, excitement and life, really. I wish I could say I've traveled the globe, met a wonderful prince who swept me off my feet and we are about to jet set to a deserted island far far away. Truth is, life has become hectic.

For those of you who don't know, I have started a new adventure. Its outside my comfort zone, encourages new challenges and most of all... the most fun I've had letting my creative juices flow. What is it?

YOUTUBE! 

Yes, thats right. I've started my very first youtube channel that I'm beyond excited for! I'm quite possibly the most quirky, shy and spontaneous person out there, so needless to say, my channel is the same.

Whats it about?

All things! I intend to design a channel that is completely outside the norm! Most people [most] have their overall favourite channels they constantly check out, or subscribe to. I'm the same way.  I consider myself a lover of all things. I can change the breaks on your car, catch a sturgeon and cook you a delicious vegetarian meal while telling you my favourite unique sites to shop. So why make my youtube channel anything less than that?

I love inspiring others, whatever that passion may be. I want to be your coach to guide you through it!

I'm incredibly excited for this new journey. I owe my inspiration to my many instagram followers. [I've hit 10k - THANK YOU].

I've also been approached by a few companies to promote their products! Once I've tried them and if they pass my test - I'll do some giveaways!!

Words cannot begin to describe the crazy year it has been. I want to thank all of you, my readers, my subscribers and my followers for coming along on my journey.


Things are only going to get better, become more fun, and exciting. - But I am exhausted.


- Stay tuned for new things-

Beat the winter blues

 With Holidays coming full speed toward us, it tends to leave us feeling lethargic. I unfortunately feel this way during the holidays and tend to dislike the winter months because of it. I have taken it upon myself to snap out of it and get into a routine of eating right and exercise. This not only makes me feel and look good but it takes me away from the feeling like it is hard to make accomplishments with the cold. With the new year quickly approaching I suggest getting excited by trying something new and fun. Try working off all that stuffing and turkey from the comfort of your home as a start!


Some steps in fighting that winter blues:

• Plan a vacation get away - could be a few hour drive or if the budget allows, plan somewhere hot with a group of friends or that special someone

• Plan a night in with some friends to do crafts and baking. Or if you you aren't into either, get together with friends to find something new and unique in your city that you can try as a group.

• Continuously create goals for yourself - Whether they are small goals or big goals, make them. If you create short term goals for yourself, it allows you to consistently work towards something to keep you busy. It can be something as simple as writing in a journal everyday, or planning your meals the night before. Anything to help make you feel accomplished. Perhaps creating a dream board will work best for you.

• Exercise - This one is huge (for me anyways). When we exercise we release endorphins that make us happy and feel more relaxed. A quick workout at the gym or home can be a great stress reliever. Not to mention this is a great way to help you feel better about your appearance ( a great workout is better than make up anyway). Best part of all, exercise boosts your energy level. What better way to kick start your day or week?

       Here I have some great exercises that are easy to do at home

Abs:

• 30 sit ups
• 50 reverse crunches 
• 30 air bikes
• 50 leg lifts
• 100 oblique crunchers per side 
• 100 toe touches

Repeat 2x

Booty workout 

• 30 jumping jacks
• 20 lunges
• 10 squats
• 10 plie squats 
• 20 side lunges
• 20 glute kickbacks
• 15 short bridges
• 10 side leg circles - each leg
• 20 glute kickbacks
• 15 squats 
• 10 plie squats 
• 20 jumping jacks

Repeat 2x

These are just some ways you can incorporate some fun activity into your life without getting dragged down by the winter blues.
