My Workout Routine and more!

Hey ladies! If you have been keeping up with our blog or YouTube channel then you probably know this year we are trying to get healthier and work out more! So I wanted to show you my personal workout routine and kind of how I construct it as it is ever changing. Yesterday, we posted a new video called "Get Ready With Me (My Gym Routine)" and we thought there was no better way to show you my routine than to just share this video with you guys! I love working out and have done so my whole life but I do take breaks and have my months when I am super motivated and then have those all too common weeks when I feel like doing nothing. With it being a new year Jessica and I both want to really kick it into gear. The video is actually a condensed version of my regular routine because it was filmed on the weekend at a smaller gym. I usually go to Planet Fitness which is a bigger franchise gym. I pay $20 a month and that includes tanning (which I do not do) and all other amenities including bringing a guest each time I go. I also pay an annual fee in June that is around $38. I have been a member for about a year and I have enjoyed this gym very much. There are some downsides which include it being packed every hour of the day, it closing early on the weekends, and there are A LOT of rules to follow. I get asked a lot if the "Lunk Alarm" goes off frequently and my answer to that is that it depends on the location. I go to two different ones within 15 miles of each other and things are completely different from one to the next. I would recommend taking a tour of any gym before you decide on one. If you can't afford a gym membership or have kids that make getting to the gym difficult you can certainty work out at home. That is what Jessica is doing. She has a gym membership but hates to drive in the snow in Michigan. So, she has decided to do home workouts. She is going to do this with a yoga mat ($10-$15) weights, and exercise DVDs.

I suggest that you break up your days if possible. I do Cardio, Ab, Leg, and Arm days.

I just write out these workouts, change them, and add to them each week. I like to change it up so I don't get bored and so my muscles don't get used to the movements.

The lists are hard to see but I do incorporate some abs, legs, arms, and cardio into every days routine and just go heavier on that particular days muscle group.

Here is our new video Get Ready With Me! My Workout Routine!

Let's start with the prizes because we are so excited about them!

We will also explain how you can win!

<--------The YouTube winner will get all of this :) :) :) :)

L.A. Colors eye shadow palette. This one is called Boardwalk Eyes and it has the prettiest fall colors! Then we will also being giving away my favorite blush! I just mentioned this recently in our Beauty Haul! It is so pretty and I just love this blush so much! The winner will also be receiving some POND'S Cleansing Towelettes.These are great to just keep in your bag and also for taking your makeup off! Some other things included are the Frizz Ease Travel Hair Spray (Jessica's favorite hairspray) an orange scented hand sanitizer, some bobby pins (you can never have too many) and one of my favorite lip products! This lip gloss is by e.l.f and is called Baby Lips. I have mentioned how much I love e.l.f lip glosses a handful of times, but again I LOVE THEM.

The YouTube winner will also win two gold studded bracelets from Claire's, three pairs of gold bow earrings from Body Central, and an adorable stretchy owl ring from Rue 21. Some nail thaaaaangs the winner will receive are the Revlon Nail Stencils I use in the little hear design, a nail pearl manicure set in Black from Claire's and a Milani Nail polish in 521 Red Sparkle. We love Milani nail polishes because they are long lasting but aren't hard to remove with nail polish remover like most glitter polishes are. There is also a British flag heart head phone jack plug from Claire's, a Blueberry Muffin candle from Hobby Lobby, and two red sparkle snowflake ornaments from Target!

Also the flower makeup bag (that fits all of this inside!) and two pairs of fuzzy black and white socks!

The Friend Zone!

Childhood Friends

These are the friends we grow up with. These are the people that saw us in those ever so awkward years between 5^th and 9^th grade and still stick with us. Keeping in touch with these friends can be tricky when everyone heads their separate ways for college or university. But the great thing is we have known these people since (nearly) infancy so they hold a special place in our hearts. This means they are considered family in the way that even though we may not see them as often as you would like when we do it is like nothing has changed and you can pick up right where you left off. Speaking of family, sisters and brothers make great friends as well. You know everything there is to know about each other and you share some DNA. Need a kidney? Chances are you can probably get it from them….

School Friends

Well, obviously these are the friends we meet at school. In grade school, most of the friends we make are our age or at least around it. But with more and more middle-aged women and men going back to school it is much more likely that you could be sitting in a classroom with people closer to your parent’s age than yours. Don’t be intimated or just right them off because they are older or younger than you. Some of the greatest people I have met in college are twice my age. These women are funny, smart, and wiser than I could ever be. They have had hardships in their lives that caused them to have to return to school. Like divorce, loss of their spouse or unemployment due to the declining job market in Michigan. So my point is make friends with these people! They are the ones more likely to help you and give you advice. They are also less likely to try to copy your homework are much more likely to share theirs with you(:

Work Friends

Working a 9 to 5 is probably the last thing anyone wants to have on the top of their to-do list. I work 6 to 5 so it would probably be on mine. I like my sleep. Anyways, making friends at work is crucial if you want to maintain your sanity will schlepping popcorn to unfriendly customers. My first real job was at a local movie theater. It was a relatively easy job, just exhausting. Occasionally, there would be those customers that made my skin crawl. This one in particular asked me if I was brain-dead because I asked him to repeat one item of his fourteen ordered because he shot them off a mile a minute and it was hard to keep up. I had worked a double that day and only had a few hours left. I started crying, crying! If I could go back to that moment I would have told him to fuck off and choke on his $10 popcorn. Well, realistically I wouldn’t have because I would have lost my job. But thank God for the people I worked with that day that could see the sadness on my face and did everything they could to cheer me up. Sometimes you even spend important days with these people. I once spent Christmas at the theater, and it was actually fun even being one of the busiest days of the year. Unfortunately, not everyone you work with is going to like you and I’m sure you will come across those you don’t see eye to eye. Just remember you don’t have to hang out with them outside of work and keep things professional. Don’t get into fights with coworkers, especially when you enter your career job not just your part-time job at White-Castle. P.S. Don’t have office romances either, but that is a whole other topic…

Best Friends

These are the friends with the amazing super power to make you forgive them for anything and everything. I know no matter what my best friend does to upset me or piss me off (which she doesn’t often) we will still always be friends. Friends like this can be made anywhere and are a combination of all the ones previously mentioned. Those friendships grow into something special enough to where you consider this person your “BEST” friend. A lot of people just throw around the title to any drunken girl they Instagram a picture with. I am guilty of considering a lot of girls my “best friends” in the past. Lately, I have come to realize someone who only talks to you when it is convenient for them is not worthy of that label. My best friends are three girls I have known my entire life. Who I know will always be there for me whenever I need them, no matter what time of night. These girls are my sisters. Then of course I have three friends who are THE BEST that I met in middle school and they have stuck with me through the years (: Finally, my boyfriend is my best friend. I can tell him anything and know that he won’t judge me for it. Friends that care about you and love you unconditionally- those are the types of friends you want in your life.

Friendzoned

Ahhh, the dreaded friend zone. This is the type of friendship that is one-sided. You or your friend feel something more for the other but are too afraid to say something out of fear of losing the friendship for good. Maybe one of you has said something and now it is awkward. Maybe the other person didn’t feel the same way. Maybe, just maybe, they felt the same way and now the friendship has turned into a relationship. Whatever the result may be, the best option is to just go for it! You never know what may happen and if it is meant to be then it will be.

Signs You Might Be In the Friendzone

You guys go to matinée movies together and never go out alone at night.

Nothing physical. You don’t hold hands, you definitely don’t kiss.

He calls you bud or buddy and not in a cute way.

He is always texting other girls and talking to you about it.

He asks you for relationship or dating advice.

He says you are “just one of the guys.”

You ask him for a favor and he doesn’t come through. If a guy really like you he would do anything to get your attention.

Here are a few for the boys!

If she calls you up and invites you to “girl’s night” Bring the icecream and a copy of the notebook because you are in the friendzone.

She is always complaining to you about her asshole boyfriend and never giving any sort of hit hit that she may be into you.

She is always trying to get you to date her friends, or trying to get you to find a girlfriend.

Pin Up Inspired Fashion, Hair Styles, and Makeup!

The Pin Up girl inspired look has been making a huge comeback in the fashion

world over the last few years. Jessica is OBSESSED with Pinup girls and has even

done a Pin Up shoot herself. So she had the great idea to make a look inspired

by these classic women.

Here is a look at her shoot! (:

The clothing pin up girls are known to wear are bright colors as well as
black and white. Polka dots are a must for these girls and the tighter the
dress the better. There are girls who dress like this everyday and don't
consider it a costume, but a fashion statement.

If you are lucky enough to have red hair like Jessica then you are half way to obtaining the right hair for this look. These are the classic pin up curls. We love this Youtuber who loves this look and can show you how to get these perfect curls. Watch it here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8kSr73qwHI

But You don't have to have red hair to rock this style! Even Kim Kardashian has been seen sporting the classic pin up bangs. This is another classic hair style of these women but it does take a little bit more time to get this look. We found a great tutorial on how to get a variation of this and you can watch it by clicking this link---->
