Workout Outfits - it's not a big deal

Image
 It  does not have to be a big deal dressing up to the gym, come on it's the gym. No matter what you decide to wear the point is that you'll sweat all over that outfit so do not take your time preparing for the gym like you're going to the club or to a ball. The rule is - no make up, no heels, no jewelries etc. you wear whatever basic gym clothes you have and jump on that thread mill like no one's watching. Really though, no one cares.  If you're going for a morning jog, personally I sometimes sleep in my sport bra so that I can wake up and just wear a sweat pant and a jacket and run out asap.  If you get confused on what to wear all the time, you can do what I do- that is ; 1. You can google celebrities to checkout what they are wearing (that is not too serious) and buy that. 2. Checkout fitness blogs, they usually have links to where you can purchase good gym wears. 3. Download a bunch of pictures on your phone from google images and change workout outfits accordi

We are all victims of the 'I don't have what to wear' talk even though our closet is flowing with different options and clothes, we still won't have what to wear. What I have noticed is if it happens to you regularly then you know that you need to upgrade your closet. Time to go shopping. OUT WITH THE OLD,.... You know the rest.  This post is a guide on basic items you just have to get to fill your closet, you can definitely add up your style and remove the few you do not like.  1. Jeans : This is like the basic basic, I don't think anyone can say they don't like jeans. You can get varieties, different colors, styles ranging from black jeans to distressed jeans to high waist etc. You can go the whole year wearing jeans. Like I said ' the basic basic'.  2. Blouses : There are different blouses and personally I can tell a person's style from how their blouse looks. Some people love Ruffles, others peplum, your blouse can show how principled you are abo

Detoxing - staying healthy

  Detoxing is the removal of toxin/ toxic substances or waste from the body system, usually carried out by the liver. Detoxing is very essential for a more healthy living and a better diet because it enhances weight loss, improves the skin tone, helps food digestion, reduces bloating and cleanses the total body systems. It is necessary to detoxify at least once in a year, just take 5days out of the 365 days we have in a year just to cleanse your system and remove toxin. Detoxing before you start a weight loss or diet program can be helpful to increase weight loss success.   There are different types and ways to detoxify - but before you start your detox journey, you should Prepare your mind because it would go a long way to help with your consistency. you should also be ready to accept how your body would react to it.  1.

Hello everyone, as the year is just kicking off holiday seasons are all coming back from Valentine's Day which is the closest one till New Year's Eve. There is Easter, birthdays, anniversaries, and so many other special occasions and the one thing on most people's mind during these holidays or occasions are GIFTS. This post is mainly for those buying the gifts. Some people would say it is the thought that counts, I doubt that works these days. people are expecting actual gifts not thoughts.  Here are some pointers for getting gifts. 1. The occasion : The first think anyone should think of before going ahead to get gift is the occasion. When you know what the program is you can easily pick out what kind of present you want to get.   2. Your budget : you cannot give what you do not have. Think about how much money, energy or time you have to get a gift before getting anything. If you do not have enough money for what they want, you can make it or search for where to get it a

Gym bag essentials

  You can have anything you like in your fitness bag as long as it is related to fitness. These are some essential things that I would recommend must always be in your bag for a more satisfying gym day.   1. Water bottle : It is important for everyone to drink water, it helps the entire body system function properly. Water should be taken before and after your workout session. Doctors have recommended 8 glasses and more daily.  2. Towel : After a successful workout session you should be gushing sweat. Some would say, sweat is fat crying. Workout sweat is the good sweat but so is toweling it down, we don't want to leave the gym looking like someone just emptied a bucket on us. Having a towel is really important.  3. Slippers/flip flop :  I always have slippers in my gym bag, it is probably not top five things to have for everyone but it is definitely top five for me. If you workout often or you want to start working out you might not like the hot and sweaty feeling your shoe and s

The Styling Block

 A styling block is basically when you have what to wear but you do not know how to put it together or style it for the day. I used to always have a styling block, It can be very annoying especially when you want to rush off someplace.  Here are some of the things I do when I have a styling block :  1. Watch YouTube style videos: some days you can feel the block coming so what to do when you feel it coming is, watch some styling videos on YouTube you might see an outfit that goes with your mood for the week.   image: Shirley B. Enaing - she's one of my favorite YouTuber to watch when I'm in a little jam.  2. Google/download images: when it becomes urgent and you are desperate, you can simply google images of - I google celebrity street style. Shh you can't tell anyone .. Or better yet tell everyone because it happens to almost everyone especially during the school year or when you have a job and there is no assigned uniform. I do not want anyone that opens my blog to go out
