Fighting Fit: Spin

I have wanted to put this post out in the big wide  bloggers sphere for a long time now, but have never been to sure how to approach it, but now I think I've cracked that one.

A lot of bloggers talk about their work out routine, and I am massive fan of keeping fit, and not only for vanity reason but because I get so much enjoyment out of it.

My work out revolves 99% around 1 thing, and that is Spin. If you don't know what spin is, its a 45 high intensity static bike work out, in the dark with disco lights going and blaring loud music. Yes, it can sound very scary but I promise you, if you want to see results and have fun doing it, Spin is for you.

I go to a Virgin Active Gym in Essex,which  joined about a year ago now, and its the best money I have ever spent. Now I know gym memberships are not cheap, in fact they need to straighten out their prices quite frankly, however that aside if you are confident you are going to get your moneys worth and are interested in joining a gym I would strongly suggest looking into it, especially Virgin I have nothing but good things to say about it.

I try to go to Spin 2-3 times a week, as well as doing other exercise during the  week.

I think with the gym and exercise its important to remember to take rest days and that if you miss a week its not the worst thing in the world and that you can always make that time up.

Although we all have goals we want to achieve with the way we look, I find the key to it is being able to enjoy yourself!

MIA, Updates and More

I have to admit i have been slightly MIA with the blog at the moment, there has been a lot going on. I think it is fair to say we all go through phases like that and sometimes those phases, in my case at least, lead me to fall upon bloggers block. Think writers block, but for blogging.

However i have still been getting my paws on new and old products discovering and rediscovering. As well as getting out and about a bit.

I finished up by Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, which I do really like however, I do really like and enjoyed using but I'm always for trying new products. I decided to hop brands and give the Bourjois Happy Light Foundation a go. Now I do really like it, it goes on easily and best of all i get really dry skin on the bridge of my nose, and regardless of what moisturiser i choose to try and help it, and believe me i have tired a good few, i cant seem to shift it. 

However the only issue, which i think is common with high street foundations, is colour matching. Can you ever get it quite right? This is slightly too dark for me, and my shade is the second lightest. I have to mix this with my NARS Sheer Glow, which is now too light for my skin. Mixed together it makes a good match for my skin.

I wore these two foundations for a recent night out with my lovely daddy who treated me to go and see a comedy show in aid of Centrepoint, which if you don't know is a charity that focuses on helping homeless children. It was a whole host of different comedians but the bill was top by the three guys who present the Last Leg on Channel 4, big fan, Adam Hills, Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker.

I went for a casual brown look with a attempted subtle cat flick, done with shadow, I liked the look but for next time i think I'm going to be brave and move on to liquid liner to get that more defined look. I also used the Estee Lauder Raisin's pallet. 

I managed to sneakily snap a view pictures from inside while the acts were on, they were all really funny. This is my first stand up comedy show, I went to see Michael McIntyre at the O2 but that was comedy on a really large scale. 

As the weather is slowly, emphasis on slowly, starting to show possible signs of spring the stores have been showing this to. The clothing everywhere at the moment is just on point. I've been picking up a few bits to share with you soon. River Island has always been a shop I've never been a massive fan of however all their stock in the past few months have been catching my eye, and my card!

A shameless watch selfie. I bought my Michael Kors while i was in New York during January, along with Darren buying his Gucci watch as well while we were in New York. I love mine and can not go on about it enough. All his stuff, from clothes, watches and bags are all flawless if you check out a post of mine from about a month ago i wrote about the Michael Kors Jet Set Staffano Tote. 

Sorry for this post being a bit all over the place but i thought it would be nice to just to take some images of whats been going on recently and with in no time we will be back to fashion and makeup! 

Enjoy your week
