My Workout Motivation/ Tips

Top(local boutique); pants(Lulu Lemon); Sports Bra (Nike)

I envy people that wake up in the morning and feel like working out. Spending my time in my bed cuddled up with a nice tea and a good book sounds like a lot more fun to me. 

The terrible thing about it is that I enjoy working out. I like doing workout while I am at it, I love running when I am out and about but I can't get myself to put on my workout clothes and actually go for a run or do some blogilates videos. Last week I was really bad with working out. I didn't do anything and that was because I wasn't home at all. Well barely. I had a lot to do but I am not here to find excuses for not working out. I am about to tell you what I do on a daily/weekly basis.

Monday:

Is kind of like a rest day for me. I have a long day and I could just start exercising at about half six and that's too late for my taste. 

Tuesday:

That's probably my most active day. I have PE in school and I go to school by bike so that's like a two hour workout together.
If I have the time I will go for a run in the afternoon. If not I like to do some workouts targeting a special region (butt mostly because I don't have one).

Wednesday:

School takes up most of my time on this day but I can sneak in a quick run between school and choir. I usually go for a run with my best friend, who lives next doors which is convenient. We go for about 8km (5 miles).

Thursday:

Another long school day and ballet practise afterwards. That's pretty much my day. I am not very good at ballet as I just started last year but it's a lot of fun and I enjoy it. I am not in it to become a professional dancer or do competitive things. Not at all. I am in for the fun.

Friday:

On Friday I play Tennis. I've been playing tennis for a bout 4-5 years (not quite sure).

Saturday:

I try to do another blogilates video on saturday but mostly I just can't find the time and I end up doing stuff with my friends. 

Sunday:

Going for a run on sundays is probably my favourite thing ever. The feeling you get after a run and a long shower and some pampering afterwards is just the best.

Tips:

1. Get a workout buddy. If my best friend wasn't running with me, I would not even get up to do it. She is my motivation to actually get up and go.

2. Drink lots and give yourself some rest. I had times where I thought working out every day would just make me tones and perfect and give me a great feeling. It didn't. I was constantly exhausted and tired and didn't enjoy my life very much. Now I have my 'break' days and I feel a lot better. 

3. Mind over matter. You can do it. You can push yourself. Do it and you will feel better. I promise.

What is your favourite way to exercise? Do you have any tips to overcome that lazyness? 

Have a great day. xx

And a little disclaimer in the end. I am in no way an expert. I am just sharing my thoughts and tips and it may not work for you but it did for me so I thougt it was a good idea to share that.

Birthday Wishlist

I am turning 17 in a little less then two weeks and I thought that it would be interesting for you to see what I want for my birthday as I am always struggeling to actually come up with stuff that I could wish for.
This is a very random selection of stuff and I will update you with what I got if you are interested. Please let me know and I will do a birthday "haul".

Let's start of with the, for some boring, but for me most exciting things. Books. I am a huge bookworm and I read a lot. And by a lot I mean way too much and way too fast. You can give me a book with 700 pages and I will be done with it in the evening if I want to. So I have to stock up from time to time.

Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult is on the top of my wishlist. I started reading it a little in a bookshop today and I completly fell in love. It was recommended to me by a woman standing next to me that saw that I was eyeing the John Green books to see if there was anything I hadn't read yet (there wasn't). She told me that if I liked John Green I would love Jodi Picoult and so I started reading the beginning of two books.
The Storyteller is another book by Jodi Picoult that also sound really interesting and I will give it a try but I want to read Lone Wolf first.

The girl who saved the king of Sweden by Jonas Jonasson is another book that caught my I first of all because of the amazing cover that attracted me and because of the title because it is rather odd. I don't know if you have heard of Jonasson but he also wrote the book the 100-year-old man who climbed out the window and went missing. I haven't read that book but my mother told me that it was a little weird but kind of good. The story of this book is interesting and I want to get into it.

Well there you have my few book choices. Three isn't a lot but maybe my family will come up with some other ideas.
(I was going to wish for Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn but then I realized that we already own that book and I will start reading it now.)

There are also a few beauty products that I am very interested in but I wouldn't buy them myself because they are a bit more on the expensive side.

The first one is the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray. I have heard great things about it and I would love to try it myself but the price is a little over 20€ and that is kind of a lot.

Another thing that I would love to try is the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer because I heard a lot of good things about it but it is very expensive.

Because Estée (Essiebutton) always raves about the Honey Bronzer from Body Shop I want to try it myself but I am too lazy to buy it myself as I already own two amazing bronzers.

I also would like to try the Body Shop Peach sented stuff because it smells great but I don't want to buy it for  myself because stuff like that is always more like a gift kind of thing.

The final beauty thing I am wishing for is the MAC Minerelized Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle. I am not a huge highlighter and I don't own any highlighter or blush, as I blush a lot naturally so I really don't need anything to enhance that. But I have heard such great things about this Highlighter that I have to give it a try.

Well this got longer than I expected it to be. If you want to hear a review to any of those products(If I should get them) please let me know. I would also love to do like little reading posts where I update you on what I am currently reading, what I am going to read and what I read and what I thought about it.
Have a lovely day. xx

Spring Face Of The Day (FOTD) Inspiration

Hello everyone.
I know. We aren't very frequent with our posts but we have a lot to do!
But today I found some time to finally take some pictures of stuff I wanted to write about and that all of you are hopefully interested in.
So this is the first 'proper' blogpost because I am going to include some of the pictures that I took earlier today.
And since spring is finally here and you maybe have something to celebrate on sunday(easter). I thouhgt I would post a little face of the day to maybe inspire some of you to put some colour in you makeup.

This isn't the most fancy makeup but I thought it would be nice to add a pop of colour on the lower lashes and make it a little more 'springy'. It's very simple to do and I bet you that you can do it as well.
here are the products I used:

Mac StudioFix Concealer in NW20 as my base. I don't use foundation or BB cream because I am too lazy.
L'oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim as my eyeliner. Apply a thin line and wing it out a bit.

A blue/green liner from anywhere. I can't read the label on mine anymore so you have to find one yourself. I am sorry. Just apply that to your lower lashline and smudge it out a bit. That is the pop of colour I was talking about. I especially like this coulour because it matches my eyes a bit.

And because this is spring inspired I just added a nude/rosé lipstick Dior Rouge Dior in 363 Corolle Pink.

This is a very simple makeup look and I don't think that there is a tutorial needed because it is just that easy. This is just an inspiration that might help you.

Happy Easter everyone! ♥
