Aug 27, 2012 by Lils

I played around with Photoshop this weekend ! I was trying to make a “logo” for the Artist Spotlights! Of course there had to be some pink & purple incorporated Smile with tongue out

What do you think ?

Let me know whatcha think ! Smile

I just felt like beautifying the post a little !

On to Music Monday -

I’ve been posting a majority of Alternative/Rock/Punk bands for the past few weeks, but I‘ve neglected all the other kinds of music I’m loving ! I had heard of Mac Miller before, but I hadn’t really listen to his songs until last week and I feel in love! I loveee rap, Lil’ Wayne & Enimen are on repeat most days of my life! lol But I was glad to find another artist I can but on repeat ! lol

Enjoy !

Do you like rap?

If so, who’s your absolute favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist?

Organization Series : Cleaning

Aug 26, 2012 by Lils

Happy Sunday !

Sunday’s are pretty chill around here. I slept in, ate breakfast, which was a protein pancake, while sipping on coffee. I’m only allowing myself coffee on Saturday and Sunday right now lol. Hopefully one day it will be never, but well see how that goes! I also got caught up on some series – White Collar, Weeds & Breaking Bad.

Sunday is usually the day I plan for the week. I thought it would be a great idea to start an “Organization Series”. If you’re anything like me, you’re an organized freak, well you might love this ! lol I feel like I can’t survive if nothing is planned. I loose all motivation and automatically become lazy. I have gotten better but I think it will take time before I can just “go with it”.

There are a lot of amazing organizing blogs out there, I’m not competing with them at all. I’m just going to give you what I use for “templates” and hopefully this can help you out. I might eventually talk about the actual “organizing your home” kind of things but for now I ‘d rather give you guys a “plan” that can help you out in the three biggest aspect of my life right now lol Cleaning, Fitness & Health.

This is what my typical weekly “chore” list consist of. I like to spread it out throughout the week that way I can do other things on weekends.

You can print out the template here

Next week I’ll talk about how organizing your workouts ! Stay tuned Smile

Do you make a weekly plan?

Do you clean throughout the week or only on weekends?

The importance of planning

Aug 25, 2012 by Lils

I’m pretty positive every one has goals, the only difference is how we execute them. Some people can just wake up one day, set themselves a goal, go for it, and succeed. Although, I’m sure most people need a very detailed planned to be able to achieve their goals. I also believe that planning = motivation. By planning you can see the future ahead of you by having a specific route to achieve that goal. It can motivate you to accomplish those daily tasks that will help you attain your goals. Planning also isn’t time consuming like people might think.

If you’re not sure if planning is important to be able to succeed. Try these steps and let me know if it worked for you !

Stay tuned tomorrow I’m starting a Organization Series which will complement this post!

Are you a planner?

What are goals you have achieved recently?

Killer Abs Workout

Aug 24, 2012 by Lils

Good morning ! Smile

I feel sooo much more motivated since I’ve been eating healthier ! I’m writing blog posts, cleaning, organizing, going to the gym ! I hope I’m not speaking to soon but I feel pretty confident I’m slowly getting out of my “rut”. I have goals again, and I’m excited. I missed that feeling ! I’m still having trouble waking up in the morning but it’s not as bad as it was. I just wish Callie would sleep in a little lol There’s actually a morning this week that I woke up at 5h00 am and went straight to the gym ! It felt pretty amazing let me tell you !

I’ve also been experimenting with foods, cooking lots, and making recipes from the Tone It Up plan. I don’t know why I forgot how healthy cooking wasn’t suppose to take 3 hours every night. You can have really healthy meals in a matter of minutes!

Yesterdays Eats consisted of -

Salsa, Beans & Quinoa – Amazing Combination. Plus this probably took me only 15 minutes !

I just bought these this weekends and absolutely love them ! I know beans are beans, but they were different. Really good, plus easy. I don’t always feel like cooking a batch of beans from scratch, It seems to take forever.

Lots of veggies were incorporated in my meals! (& Snacks)

This is the most delicious snack I’ve had in a while ! I couldn’t believe I hadn’t thought of this before. Guac with lime juice & a bit of Himalayan salt.

I had originally planned on making a spinach salad for supper, but I really didn’t feel like eating a salad – So I improvised. Shrimps & Steamed broccoli always seems to do the trick.

I also had planned to go to the gym, but N8 needed the car so I stayed home. I still have three days and three workouts so that’s perfect. I’ll finish up the week right.

So I’ve been doing this workout here in there! It’s not a long workout, but I guarantee you’ll be able to feel the burn. If not – do it until you feel the burn ! lol
