Music/Movie Monday_The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Now it may be strange to have a movie be my favorite Music and Movie for this week, but I will have to say that the soundtrack for this movie was just amazing. It added this great sense of adventure and lust for the great outdoors and to experience something new. The movie as a whole was very good and very inspirational. What I mainly got out of it was that I need to travel more and as much as possible. The cinematography in the movie was amazing the the landscape views were just beautiful.

If you haven't seen the movie yet you should go out and see it as soon as possible. Also go check out the soundtrack if you can, you won't regret it.

Weight loss / Health Update

Since I have been home and trying to eat healthier and for the most part staying away from sugar, dairy, dough, and fried foods I have lost 9 lbs in 4 weeks. Now I am not saying that I was always eating the best, at the beginning of the weight loss journey, I had thought I would be exercising more to counteract the eating habits, but since I don't have the time at the moment to give the time for that, I have been eating healthier eating dried fruits and cashew ice cream to compensate for my sweet tooth.

This brings my BMI to 21.66 at 151 lbs
Starting at 160 lbs with a BMI of 22.96
I have 21 lbs left to go

For the next week, I am going to start incorporating more cardio exercise on a daily, as well as incorporating more salads and water as well as smoothies and juices.

Music Monday: Snoh Aalegra_ Burning Bridges

This Scandinavian singer has the soul of a 90s R&B with a mix of modern day beats. I think she can really go big and I can't wait to see what else she will bring forth in her music. The fashion in this music is great and I love the way the music video was filmed. It allowed for you to focus on the lyrics and the the singer rather than focusing on what she is actually doing.

Side Note: Am I the only one who thinks she looks like a mixture of Natalie Portman and Eva Longoria?

Fitness_Gym

I love going to the gym once in a while so that I can get the weights and elipticals that I don't have at home.

Start: Cardio
-Treadmill : 45min - I alternate between running, jogging, and walking sometimes going in 5-10 min intervals for each. If I am wanting an extra push I will change the incline to a higher one to work the butt more.

Strength
- Weight Macines: 2-3 cycles - depending the time I have and how tired I am after the treadmill, I will either do a total body weights or focus more on more of a specific section that  I feel is troubling me that week. On each machine I will do about 20-30 reps. The weight change depending on my strength what muscle is being used.

- Crunches/Squats/ Push-ups: I use apps that help me map out how much of each I should be doing an to progressively do more over time. The apps I use are SitUps and Squats. There are many different ones in the App store that you can find for free.

Make-up Haul

On the monday before christmas my mom and I made a trip to Sephora to do some make-up shopping that was much needed. I thought I would share with you what I got a quick review of how I feel about the products so far. There are a few things that I got at the drugstore as well.

Nars Tinted Moisterizer: I am loving this foundation/ tinted moisturizer. It gives enough coverage to even out my skin tone, but its light enough to let my skin breath.

Nars blush: This color is beautiful, Seduction. What I love about the formula is that it is very pigmented. So you just need a light hand for a light flush of color.

Nars transulent powder in Crystal: I really like this setting powder. It gives the skin a matte dewy look, which is a nice mixture. It also doesn't show up the skin or give a ghost like appearance which is great for my dark complection.

Nars eyeliner- this eyeliner is waterproof and doesn't budge which is nice since I always feel like my eyeliner is the first to go.

Eyelash glue Duo in Dark
Eyelashes: Ardell natural
Eyelashes: Ardel in 110 demi

Mascara: Maybelline falsies waterproof in Brownish Black- Now I normally get just plain black but I had accendtally picked this one up instead. I actually like this color more because it gives the lashes a more natural look as if you had just magically grew your own lashes since they are the same color as my lashes.
