Be a Bombshell Purchase from ipsy

Posted on July 6, 2014 | 1 comment

Every Tuesday at 12:00pm (EST) ipsy has a different beauty deal. The Tuesday deals don’t last long. I came across the Be a Bombshell Summer Lovin Set for only $20.00. Knowing this deal could sell out I purchased this set without hesitation. Being an ipsy subscriber was my first exposure to the Be a Bombshell brand. I have really liked the products I’ve been receiving from Be a Bombshell in my ipsy bag.

The Be a Bombshell Summer Lovin Set included:

(L-R) Southern Sass, Rock Bottom, Toasted

Tanorexic

Summer Lovin

I am still amazed all of this was only $20.00! 🙂

I purchased the Smokey Metallic Pigment Set and the Color Poppin Pigment set. These sets were $5.50 each.

I Survived the 30 Day Squat Challenge

Posted on June 30, 2014 | 3 comments

Yes I survived the 30 Day Squat Challenge. Guess what? I am doing this challenge again. I did see results from doing this challenge the first time around. My booty is getting rounder (no I’m not showing you any pictures of that).

http://www.fitsugar.com/30-Day-Squat-Challenge-30806625

The second half of the 30 Day Squat Challenge really challenged me. LOL! I had to break out the David Morales Ministry of Sound Session Seven just to get through the workout.

I have added the resistance bands to the squat challenge so I can do some upper body. This will add more resistance to the squats too.

I have also added the ankle weights. I alternate days in which I use them.

The 3lb hand weights I have used to add resistance and incorporate the upper body too.

Wish me luck!
