BLOGMAS DAY 8: Today's Gym Routine!

A couple of people have asked what I do in the gym lately so I thought I'd do a mini post about the routine I did tonight as its great for a starter and it's the routine I do if I'm tired but still know I need to whoop my arse after a night at Ask Italian last night!

I was feeling a bit BLURGH in the car driving to the gym after work so I did have a can of Red Bull on the way - I don't know if it's psychological but I'm sure it really does make a difference! 

Start with an 8 minute jog at 7.5-8mph

10x 30kg Pull down 
10x 20kg pulley 
10x triceps dips 
X3

10x 70kg Leg press
10x 35kg leg curl
 x2
10x 90kg leg press 
10x 35kg leg curl 


10x 15kg overhead bar squats 
10x 15kg OHB right leg lunge 
10x 15kg OHB right leg lunge 
X2

20x abs crunches 
20x toe touches 
X3 

10 minute on bike to finish off with! 

It's just a pretty basic 40 minute routine that covers the whole body and something everyone can play with while learning your own weight strength, but I can already feel my legs hurting slightly... Right, off for a bath!

Beauty Bay Bragging Rights Haul!

Image
2 blog posts in one week... who'd have thought!  I was so bloody late on this one and I'm not the most "trendy" person when it comes to make up or being quick on the sales, but I did bag a few bargains in the Beauty Bay Bragging Rights sales and got some new goodies with 30-50% discount. I'll do a full blog post with reviews on the products I LOVE but in the mean time, this is what I treated myself too.  Activated Charcoal Teeth Whitening Powder Definitely excited to try this one to see if the magic really works and I'm sure if it does then it's something I'll be purchasing closer to the wedding. I've used Charcoal toothpastes before and they've been amazing but I've never used the powder.  thisworks Dream Team (linked to similar as sold out)  I've never been one to sleep brilliantly, but lately with so much going on I've barely slept at all and it's really starting to get me down so I thought while the Drea

Faking it: My favourite Dupes!

Image
If you're like me, you're on a bit of a budget and therefore always hunting round for a cheaper version or the more expensive products. I'm such a geek when it comes to stuff like this and I can spend forever smelling different perfumes and testing different products if I've heard along the grapevine that it's a great dupe for something I love!  Thought I'd do a little post about my favourite Dupes :)  Jimmy Choo Vs Soap and Glory!  I flipping love both of these and have for at least 4 or 5 years but Jimmy Choo is sooo expensive so I definitely only use it on special occasions. In the mean time, I go through a bottle of the Soap and Glory perfume every 3 or 4 months. Obviously the scent doesn't linger as the real stuff but it still smells amazing and I don't mind if I go abit overboard with it as it's only about £16... or spray my whole bedroom... or car... I definitely overuse it!    MAC Pro Longwear Concealer Vs Seventeen Stay Ti

Get The Glow: With Revolution

Image
Anyone who knows me knows I am aaaaaaall about that matte finish.. all about the matte, 'bout the matte! Matte everything - and I aways have been! I've never event attempted a dewy look as it's not a look I thought I liked on myself.. HOWEVER.. lately, I've been persuaded by "the glow" after admiring my girl, Meg's, make up at work as well as trying to change up my make up since my skin has dried a little in the cold weather. I've recently been using a dewy finish primer under my foundation to start off with, little steps and all that. But I've been looking at purchasing the Revolution "Glow Revolution Prime Set And Glow" sprays for a while and to beat the January blues, I decided to treat myself.  The sprays are incredible - they're so easy to use, light way and not too over the top which was my biggest worry. They have a lovely "shimmer" to them which close up does look a little like glitter, but in a casual glance, t
