JEWELMINT !!!

Hey ladies!

GORG!

Have you heard of Jewelmint? Hopefully you have...but if you havent I'm here to let you in on one of the best kept secrets! I'm excited to share this with you guys because I finally made my first purchase. Jewelmint is a website that personalizes your shopping experience. Jewelmint was developed by celebrity stylist Cher Coutler and fashionista Kate Bosworth. Basically they scour the world looking for pieces to furnish some of the most beautiful and unique jewelry pieces. The jewelry is definitely unique and extremely fashionable. There extremely versatile also....you can refashion the piece to incorporate into any style. What I love about Jewelmint the most is it's overall set up.


How it works:
Jewelmint customizes your showroom every month based on a style quiz that you take at NO COST to you. Once you complete the style quiz it immediately brings you to your  showroom. Of course, you are not going to necessarily like all the pieces in your showroom initially. But the great thing is you have the option to tailor your showroom exactly how you want it by removing and adding items. Jewelmint also keeps an account of the jewerly pieces that are left in your showroom and will try to tailor feature showrooms to your particular taste. Cool, right?!

Every month you get another showroom with the new pieces that they recently released. Each month you will also see pieces from the previous showrooms that you decided to keep as well. Once you become a member on the site (they have free membership) you can purchase each piece for $29.99. But one of my favorite things about this site is that there are two ways to not pay full price each month. The first way is to check your email because they constantly send out promo codes for discounts. And the second way is to join their facebook page where you can gain points that can turn into rewards for discounts off the price.

Each month you do not have to purchase a product. You can opt to skip that month, meaning not make a purchase if you choose. I personally suggest that you skip every month that your not certain whether you want to make the purchase or not. Doing this will still keep the pieces in your showroom so you are not missing out! Trust me I do it all the time lol.

Another cool feature of this site is that Cher makes a video suggesting how to wear each piece. Also on the facebook page you can see how other people who's purchased a particular piece chose to fashion it. Seeing the creative ways people have wore their pieces is really exciting! You can get some really great ideas!

I highly suggest you check this site out! It seriously can become an addiction, how can you resist those pieces in the picture above?! Checking out the site to just browse around and also taking a look at the Facebook page wont hurt! You'll see that other ladies are just as excited as I am about this site.....soon you'll be crossing over to our side too lol. See ya then!

Let me know what you think!

P.S. I purchased the Wonderland earrings...once I receive them I will be doing a full review on the earrings itself, packaging, how long it took to get delivered....the whole nine lol. So look out for that review post soon. I might even make a video of my review.

China Glaze Full Review

Hey ladies!

As I promised here is my full review of the China Glaze nail polishes that I featured on my China Glaze Haul post:

Pros:

• the formula is extremely smooth so the application is totally effortless
• the colors are super pigmented which really makes a great statement on your nails
• the price is pretty inexpensive--I always say that you get what you pay and with this product for about $7 you get a really pigmented polish that is easily applied and looks great!
• the polishes that I have have nail hardeners infused in the formula which helps to prevent chipping of the nails (a point I forget to mention in the other post)

Cons:

• the polish did chip after a few days--the chipping was barely noticeable but it did occur

Overall, I was pretty satisfied with this polish. I am not going to go out hunting these products down necessarily but if I run into a color that grasps my interest I wont hesitate to purchase it! As mentioned, I am an ESSIE kind of girl but I wouldn't mind incorporating some China Glaze into my nail polish collection.


Have you tried in China Glaze nail polishes? What did you think about them?

Until next time,

Black Friday MAC Haul plus more goodies!

Hey ladies!

So I went Black Friday shopping and got a few things from the new MAC collection. I received so many emails from MAC leading up to its premiere and finally got to see it myself! By the way, you should join their mailing list to get updates on there new items and collections!

So here are the items I purchased:

The images of the eyeshadow palettes were distorted so here are their true colors:

Snowglobe Eyeshadows in Warm ($38.00): First row: Winterscape, magical mist; Second row: patina, buckwheat; Third row:Gaelic gold, midflurry

Iced Delight Eye Bag in Silver ($45.00)--includes makeup bag, 275 mini brush, Zoom Fast Black Lash mascara, a Technakohl liner in Graph Black and Silverware and Blue Spruce in the eyeshadow palette (love the blue spruce it has gold reflexes in it--gorg!)

Also pictured in the first picture are the DazzleSphere Coral Ornament ($32.50) on the top right which comes with Phiff, On the scene, Richer Luster and Eurobeat as well as the DazzleSphere Mini Nail Laquer Ornament ($25.50) on the top left which comes with Much Adored, Style Tip, Mistletoe and Dark Angel.

I love shopping at MAC during the holidays because they always come out with these Makeup bundles that at GREAT prices compared to their original prices. Just think about it a regular eyeshadow at MAC costs $14.50 but you can get 6 in the palette for $38...its almost a steal!

Also I bought some boots while I was out shopping. My mom and I buy boots every year around this time because you can pretty much get a good deal on them. I bought a total of 3 pairs but I only have two pictured below because the third pair are knee-high boots so I thought that I would just do an OOTD (outfit of the day) picturing how I wear them. It would have been too much of a hassle taking a pic of them only. Not to mention I'm just too lazy for all that right now lol.

But here are the two:

The belt detail and chucky heel is what made me fall in love with these boots! Love them! I wore these already with tights and a loose flowy top and they are super comfortable! BTW I'll be sharing these boots with my mom...she fell in love with them too lol

Love the distressed look on this boot! And the brown color makes it subtly pop which I love!

I bought both from JCPenney's. There brands arent anything spectacular so I'm not even going to list them here. I was pretty much bargain shopping for all 3 boots so I paid $100 in total! Pretty good right?! But I love the combat style of these boots. I wanted to start incorporating more edgier pieces into my wardrobe because every now and then I like to switch up my style a little bit to keep things fresh. I've mentioned it before but I get bored with the same ol' thing pretty easy so I have to switch things up every now and then! 

I bought a few more items on Black Friday but nothing to outrageous. I thought I would share with you guys the items that I was most excited about! I hope you enjoyed!

Dealing with ANNOYING pimples? ....

Hey ladies!

So lately I've been having these random pimples pop up on my face. So annoying! Yes, I have a skin care reggie that I posted on my "Skin Regimen" page but some times that isnt enough to stop these unruly annoyances lol. Don't get me wrong my reggie works great for me--I love it actually and do not plan to veer away from it anytime soon. But there's a certain time of month that pimples are an inevitable thing for me! But I have a way to reduce then greatly.....even make them disappear and its extremely inexpensive compared to the many products that are included in my skin care reggie.

Months ago at the beginning of my hair journey I used an inexpensive product and got GREAT results from it. I even adviced my twin brother and two younger brothers to try this product out. All my brothers and my myself workout on a regular basis so making sure that our skin is clean and gets the nutrients that it needs to stay clear and healthy looking is essential! But for some reason, I stopped using this product and ever since I've been fighting pimple after pimple lol. Honestly, I really forgot about this product but my twin brother reminded my about it yesterday and I wanted to share it with you today! Are you ready for me to reveal this inexpensive miracle worker? Well it's nothing more than........

VIRGIN COCONUT OIL!!!! 

Literally this is all it is! I apply a quarter size all over my face when I wash or co-wash my hair and then proceed with the rest of my skin care regimen as noted in my video. I usually leave it on for no less than 5 to 10 minutes. If I am in a rush I will leave it on for 5 minutes but typically I just apply it and take it off whenever I'm ready to wash my face. Before you apply it just rub your hands together to warm the product and then apply. That's it! The coconut oil does all the work itself!

Here are the benefits of it according to organicfacts.net ::

So, what is role of coconut oil in Acne treatment? Coconut Oil is the source of two of the most powerful anti microbial agents found in any food substances. These are Capric Acid and Lauric Acid. They are the same acids that are found in mother’s milk and keep the baby protected from infections. When these are applied on skin, some microbes (good ones) present on skin convert these acids into Monocaprin and Monolaurin respectively, thereby replacing the protective acid layer on the skin. So, no microbial infection and no Acne! Not only external application, but internal consumption of coconut oil will give you the same protection, this time internally. Further, coconut oil is a rich source of Vitamin-E. This keeps your skin healthy and ensures proper functioning of sebum glands and clears blockage, thereby treating the very root cause of Acne. Finally, Coconut Oil is soothing on skin and highly penetrating. So, when applied on skin, it is absorbed readily and cuts down inflammation due to Acne to a great extent. It also helps heal any sort of wound on skin due to aggravated cases of Acne. And above all, Coconut Oil improves the rate of metabolism. This also indirectly affects proper secretion and balance of hormones and thus curbs out chances of Acne.

As I said this works just as well for men as it does for women which is a plus! I recommend incorporating this into your regimen. It doesn't hurt to try it out! If it doesn't work well for your skin it will definitely keep your hair moisturized so it will be a win-win situation if you bought this product regardless! 

Toodles for now! :)

Clean those Makeup Brushes!

Hey ladies!

How often do you clean your makeup brushes? Hopefully pretty often. If not, you should try incorporating this into your hair regimen on Sundays like me! Cleaning your brushes can make a world of difference especially for your face. There are multiple reasons to clean your brushes. To me, the most important reason to take the time to spoil those bristles is because I use them everyday! Makeup gets cake up into the bristles which eventually makes getting a smooth application a lot harder. Another reason to clean these brushes is that it helps to preserve the bristles which will help the brushes to last longer, depending on the quality of your brushes. Not to mention, bacteria cakes up on the brushes which causes your pores to become clogged. And we all know what clogged pores lead to--->break outs!! So you can see, taking the time to clean those brushes will only benefit you in the long run and cleaning them is extremely simple. It can take minutes depending on the number of brushes you have.

How to clean the brushes:

1) Run the brush under warm water for a few seconds

2) Take your brush cleaner whether it's actual brush cleaner, shampoo or facial soap. Place a small drop in the palm of your hand or on a washcloth.

3) Swirl the brush into the product. You can see the makeup products begin to color the suds of the soap.

4) Take the brush and run it back under the warm water until you see the water is no longer turning colors.

5) Take a towel to try to get the excess water off the brush and allow to dry!

And that's it! Five easy steps! I suggest that you clean your brushes during the evening or on a day that you won't need them so that they have enough time to dry.

I personally use the brush cleaner from Sephora which I paid $6 for the travel size bottle. I bought this size because it will literally last me months so it didn't make sense to buy the full size bottle for $14. Every so often Sephora sales these travel size bottles on their products at different times. So whenever they have this size of their brush cleaner I usually pick one up. Also I use Sephora's daily brush cleaner which I have in the regular size bottle for $14. I usually get this size because I use it more often. Now I don't use it everyday as instructed. I usually try to use it a couple of times a week just because I don't have all that time to spare. But if you do I strongly encourage you to!

Take the time to give your brushes so TLC! You'll thank me later!!

China Glaze: Princess Grace Review

Hey ladies!

Ok as promised yesterday, I found sometime to pamper my nails lol. Pictured above is China Glaze's Princess Grace. My initial reaction is--I'm loving it The formula is super opaque, which I love because this color seems like you would need more then two coats to get a really good pigmented look. But Im happy with the fact that I didn't need more than two coats to get the look that I was going for.

This color is a pearly-lavender color to me. Really simple and yet subtly sexy at the same time. As I mentioned in my initial China Glaze Haul post, this color is extremely versatile so you can pretty much wear it with anything.

This review is quite simple right now because it's my initial thoughts. I'll be posting another full detailed review of this polish in a few days, talking about my experience with it over a few days! I'm a die hard ESSIE fan because it barely chips which I LOVE LOVE LOVE!! So hopefully I can say the same about this polish. We will see.....

Until then,

Bunning it!

As I've said in another post, I've been doing a lot of bunning lately. Protective styles like twist-outs and the like arent doing that great of a job concealing my two textures. So until I figure out other cute protective styles I'll be bunning it for awhile! Glad there in style lol!!!

It's just a simple bun at the top! YouTube has a million videos on how to accomplish this look. I also do a cinnabon look that I will post some time soon!

China Glaze Haul

Hey again ladies!

Recently I went to Ulta and just wanted to let you guys know about the products that I picked up! First off, I like Sephora a lot more than Ulta but I actually enjoyed my visit there lol. I was an Ulta virgin--this visit was my first time in the store.

But for the more interesting things! I bought three China Glaze nail polishes. Before I tell you what colors I purchased I wanted to just say that there was a period in my life that I completely boycotted China Glaze for no reason at all! I really am not sure why I ditched all China Glaze polishes but I did it with no intention! It literally has been years since a China Glaze nail polish has coated my nails but I decided to give them a shoot again and I am fairly excited. I've watched YouTube videos and seen blog post of different colors and I was quite impressed but them. Now, I am a die-hard ESSIE fan so lets see if these polishes live up to my ESSIE standards lol.

Ok enough with that: Here are the colors I bought....finally:

Sex on the Beach

Princess Grace

Love Marilyn (from the new Eye Candy collection inspired by Marilyn Monroe)

I think all three colors are versatile enough to incorporate into your fall/winter wardrobe, which I am pretty excited about! The one that I am most excited about is the Love Marilyn--I am def rocking this on Christmas this year! I can't wait!

Ulta had a Bogo sale so the polishes they were buy 2 get 1 free so I paid like $14 for all three. Pretty sweet deal! I'll be using one of these nail polishes some time this week and will do a review of whichever polish I decide to use next week.

Click here to see all the swatches from the Eye Candy Collection. I want them all!! This collection is AH-MAZING!

Avanti Silicon Mix Hair Treatment

Hey Ladies!

At the very beginning of my journey I was a total product junkie! I went completely overboard to the point that I still have products that I haven't used to this day! Ridic right?! Tell me about it lol! Anywho, I've had these Silicon Hair Treatment product sitting on the rim of tub for months and never touched it. This product was recommended to me by a friend--her claims were that it helped make her hair silky straight when she flat ironed it.

Recently, I decided to give this product a try, mainly because I wanted to use it all up so I can throw it away. Quite frankly I'm tried of looking at it every time I take a shower. However, once I used it I was pleasantly surprised by this product. I feel like I say that about a lot of hair products but these are my honest opinions lol. I was really happy with the results that this product gave me. I wanted to flat iron my so I thought that it would be a good time to finally test this product out. I ended up not flat ironing my hair but this made my hair feel amazing anyway. Being that I am in my 5th month of transition the two different textures are a lot more noticeable and a lot harder to conceal. My new growth was getting to the point that it became dry and just hard to deal with in general. But this Silicon product softened up my new growth TREMENDOUSLY and made it A LOT more manageable.

I am curious to see how this product makes my hair look and feel once it's flat ironed but I just havent had the chance to do that yet. Being that Thanksgiving is on Thursday I plan on doing my hair Wednesday evening so I will give you guys an update once I'm done. But I have tried this product on blow dried hair and I guess I was happy with the results. The blow dry wasnt anything fancy, I was in a rush so I didnt use any special technique or anything. But again, I will be giving my lovely strands some extra TLC on Wednesday so I will let you guys know the results then.

One of the cons I will say about this product is that it has mineral oil. Mineral Oil is said to coat the which does lock in the moisture but it also prevents more moisture from penetrating the strand as well. Of course moisture is one of the keys to healthy hair so preventing more moisture to enter the strands in between washes isnt the best that can happen. I started using this as my co-wash and increased the number of times I wash my hair during the week to make the best of the situation. Other than sealing off moisture, mineral oil does not have any damaging effects that I know of. So whether you want to use a product that contains mineral oil is really up to your discretion. For me, although there is mineral oil in it and I make a conscious effort to try to stay away from it (at the time i bought it i was not very knowledgeable about hair health at all) it is something that I have so I decided to use it and incorporate it into my reggie because the results of this product has proven beneficial for me. I do hope to use all natural products on my hair one day but right now I'm in the rough patches of the transitioning stage so I tend to go for what works lol.

But overall I think the product does what it claims which is:  

To restore the health, shine and the softness of dry, damaged and weak hair.

Here are the ingredients: 

Water, Mineral Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Glycerine, Citric Acid, Cetrimonium Chloride, Dimethycone Copolyol, Cyclomethicone, Keratin, Ceramide, Diazolidinyl Urea and Lodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Fragrance.

** Keratin is a fibrous protein that strengthens the hair shaft and leaves it less prone to breakage. Keratin smooths the hair cuticle and makes hair smoother, softer and shinier. This is why my friend claimed that she received fab results with this product when she flat ironed her hair!

Also this product is a Dominican product for those who are interested. I bought this at my local beauty supply store and I am sure a lot, if not most, beauty supply stores carry this product. If your local store doesn't carry it you can also buy it online. And this product is pretty inexpensive too. I can't remember exactly how much I paid for it but I dont believe I paid more than $10--but dont take my word on that lol I honestly cant remember!

Toodles for now dolls!

 

Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl

Hey ladies!

Like most women, during the summer months my skin has this natural golden glow to it. I've been looking for a product that gives me this natural glow during the Fall and Winter months as well....and I think I've found it! I mean, who doesn't what a natural, luminous sexy glow year round?! I know I do. Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl does the job! This product definitely has the most natural glow I've seen in awhile! And another plus that I like is that its extremely lightweight!

Here are the claims:

This soft golden-pink liquid pearl glides on for a breathtakingly luminous complexion. Twist up & pat on over makeup or wear alone for a dewy luxurious lit-from-within glow. It's pure pearly pleasure!

There are two ways to wear this:

1) As mentioned above, glide this on right over your foundation. You can blend it in with your fingers or a brush such as MAC'S duo fiber brush. I personally blend this with my fingers, I just feel that my coverage is better that way. However, both techniques will work just as well as the other!

2) Smooth this product on before your foundation. This will make it look even more natural. Now, gliding this over foundation gives you a more defined glow; one that would be appropriate for an evening out to highlight those beautiful features! But for a more natural day time look like for the workplace or just running around doing errands I recommend wearing this under a foundation. 

These are the areas on the face that you want to highlight:

Highlighting with this product will draw the eyes of many. Light will reflect off your face and maximize those features, in all the right spots! Believe me, you will be the center of attention with this irresistible, natural glow! Pair this product with your favorite bronzer and you are set!!

Toodles for now!!

SOO Much NEW GROWTH!!

 

Just thought I would share this photo really quick! Here's a snapshot of 5 months worth of new growth! The journey is rough BUT its worth it so far lol. I'm loving my hair!! 

Biolage Delicate Care Set

Hey ladies!

 

I realized that I havent been posting anything about hair or hair products lately so I decided to do a little spill on some Biolage products that I use. I've used Biolage for years now when I was relaxed. When I started my journey I kind of rejected all the products that I loved while I was relaxed, I not really sure why though! I became a product junkie so I guess I felt like I had no use for the products that I was using at the time; not to mention the fact that I probably associated these products as working best for processed hair, which I recently found out is short of the truth. 

So, I randomly decided to see how my hair responds to my Biolage products while I'm transitioning with the two textures. I was presently surprised! I use the Delicate Care shampoo and conditioner which are sulfate free. These products left my hair feeling like butter--both my natural roots and my relaxed ends alike! They products worked just as well as it did when I was fully relaxed.

I would choose this set over Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Hair shampoo and conditioner any day! Both have sulfate-free formulas but the Biolage set seems to give my hair A LOT more slip than Carol's Daughter. Using products that give me A LOT of slip is EXTREMELY important for me because I pretty much only detangle my hair while it is wet. So I really only detangle my hair two times a week to cut down on the amount of manipulation during the week. The products that I mentioned on my regimen page as well as the Biolage products mentioned in this post leaves my hair feeling soft and manageable throughout the week which allows me to go days without detangling my hair. 

Here are the ingredients to the Biolage Delicate Care set: 

Water, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Sodium Lauryl Sarcosinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycol Distearate, Glycereth-26, Decyl Glucoside, Fragrance, PPG-5-Ceteth-20, Divinyldimethicone/Dimethicone Copolymer, Amodimethicone, Polyquaternium-7, Polyquaternium--10, PPG-55 Propylene Glycol Oleate, Propylene Glycol, Carbomer, C11-15 Pareth-7, Argania Spinosa Oil, Glycerin, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Limonene, Trideceth-12, Laureth-9, Euterpe Oleracea Pulp Powder, C12-12 Pareth-23, Hexyl Cinnamal, C-12-13-Pareth-3, Coumarin, Linalool, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Enzyl Alcohol, Hydroxycitronellal, Amyl Cinnamal, Methylchloroisothazolinone, Methylsothiazolinone, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid 

Compared to Carol's Daughter who's ingredients are: 

Water (Aqua), Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, PEG-150 Distearate, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, Decyl Glucoside, Sodium Lauroyl Oat Amino Acids, Coconut Oil Glycereth-8 Esters, Shea Butter Glycereth-8 Esters, Polyglyceryl-3 Laurate, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Gardenia Tahitensis Flower Extract, Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil, Phyllostachis Bambusoides Juice, Moringa Pterygosperma Seed Extract, Helianthus Annuus(Sunflower) Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Hibiscus Esculentus Extract, Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide, Hydrolyzed Silk, Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5), Glycerin, Glycol Distearate, Cinnamidopropyltrimonium Chloride, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Quaternium-91, PPG-3 Benzyl Ether Myristate, Disodium EDTA, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol, Methylisothiazolinone, Fragrance (Parfum)

As you can see there's more "natural" products in Carol's Daughter compared to Biolage who's ingredients I can't pronounce lol. But right now, since the transitioning process is not easy at all, I try to focus more on how well the products work in my hair. Once my hair is fully natural I plan on moving onto more natural products. Until then, I'm going to continue to use products like Biolage while incorporating the oils that I use. So if ingredients are more important to you, Biolage is probably not your best option. But if your like me I say go for Biolage. 

Aside from the formula being sulfate-free it is also formulated for colored hair. I use to color my hair all the time and this formula helped to keep my hair moisturized and prevented any damage from coloring. It also helped to preserve my color as well.

Overall, I give Biolage Delicate Care set two thumbs up! How do you rate it?

Nike Training for iPhone

Hey ladies!

Looking for ways to incorporate a great workout into the hassle of your everyday life? The Nike Training app is the best way to do it. For all my iphone and android (i believe) users, please try this app out--its AHH-mazing! It's like a piece of heaven on Earth for me! LOL The workouts are intense, it has workouts where you can work on a target area like your abs or get a full body workout.

I've mentioned it here and there that I workout alot. I try to make it to the gym everyday between Monday and Friday but sometimes that just doesnt work out. On the days that I can't make it for  some reason, my Nike training app is my go to thing. Normally, I run 2 to 3 miles a day and do some light ab workouts and weight lifting. So I'd like to think that my endurance is pretty good. But 30 mins of doing a routine on this app definitely makes me second guess my endurance lol.

Here are the claims according to the App store:

Nike Training Club is a training app that gives you your own personal trainer, anytime, anywhere. Get lean, toned and strong with over 60 custom-built workouts, including new training regimens from five professional athletes, while you earn NTC reward workouts from Lea Michele and Rihanna’s personal trainer, Ary Nuñez.

The app is tailored toward women but the intensity of the workouts allow men to benefit from this app as well! You can set your own music to the workouts and it allows you to unlock more workouts as rewards which is pretty sweet! The workouts that you unlock are EXTREMELY hard....but they def get the job done!

I started working out a few years ago and I will say that I feel sooo much better about myself. I never was the type to have low self-esteem or anything. I mean I am 5'9 and over 6 ft when I wear my heels (and I LOVE wearing my heels!!!) so confidence was def something that I needed to have because I always stuck out. But setting aside a time everyday to workout allowed me to have some "me" time where I can just clear my head and mediate. Yes, I wanted to tone my body and all that but working out became more than just dropping a few pounds here and there. So I encourage everyone to incorporate a workout schedule into their lives. It doesn't have to be everyday like me; a couple times a week works just as well. Who knows maybe you'll end up like me and loving it so much that you want to work out everyday!!

Everyone should try and live a healthy lifestyle where eating right and working out on a regular is the name of the game. Give this a try....dont just try it once either lol. Trust me your gonna wait it the first few times you try it. Go with the lighter workouts first and work your way to the harder ones as you test your endurance levels more.


Let me know what you think!
