Help! I Blew Cheat Day! How to Get Back on Track Without Drastic Measures

Arianne Suggs April 26, 2017April 26, 2017Leave a Comment

You’re pacing the room franticly as you wonder how you fit a grab bag, two Twinkles, theater popcorn, cake and Italian dinner into your body. As a result, you stare at your full belly hoping and praying you didn’t just undo all your hard work. First, breathe. Everyone has had a day where they ate a little bit too much of this and that. To get a dream body it takes tons sacrifice and dedication. Which is why a cheat day is not only welcomed by many but an absolute must!

No one wants to go the rest of their lives without a little “fun treat” here and there. However, what many come to find out is that including a cheat day is sometimes an even harder challenge than maintaining a nutritious diet. However, you can survive cheat day and come to use it as a valuable asset in your weight loss journey!

Help! I Blew Cheat Day! How to Get Back on Track Without Drastic Measures

Did I blow it? That’s a question many ponder after a botched cheat day. However, the answer may be surprising. Most likely you did not. That is because it takes 3,500 calories in order to gain a pound of fat. So then, if you are normally eating between 1200-1800 calories a day it is very unlikely you ate 2300-1700 extra calories.

Also, it is about if cheat day turns into cheat month. If you got right back to your regular routine the day after you put yourself right back on the road to success. However, if things snowball out of control then your day of treats did unfortunately knock you off balance a bit. Therefore, the thing to remember is that one day in the long run will not mess you up, it depends on how you respond after.

Lastly, many think that the best solution to overeating is to starve off the extra calories. This is a bad move. Starvation can cause you to lose muscle and be dehydrated. The better option would simply be to add in a little more exercise. You will burn off the calories and keep fitness at the forefront of your mind. So then, remember one day of treats is not bad and as long as you didn’t gorge you are most likely fine. Moreover, your actions after are truly the key, get right back on track and your goals shall be achieved.

Workout Buddy – 3 Questions That Will Prove You’ve Found the Right One

ArianneUpdated on April 24, 2017April 24, 2017Leave a Comment

Every new year millions around the world resolve to get into the best shape of their lives. Social media profiles get changed, memes are posted and gyms become more packed than a can of sardines. However, then life sets in, goals slowly fall to wayside and the masses at the gym once again trickle down to just the regulars. It’s not that good intentions were not involved, it’s just that sometimes we all could use a little extra push in the right direction in order to keep going. With that being said, have you ever personally thought about looking for a workout buddy? Having the right one by your side can help you reach your fitness goals and at times even faster than you thought!

Yet, you will want to be a tad bit selective if you do decide to go this route. It’s like going shopping while looking for one thing in particular. There may be several variations available but only one will be a great fit do to perhaps the price, packaging and overall vibe. The same is true of a workout buddy. You want to select a buddy that will inspire, motivate, remain consistent and fit with your overall fitness goals and aspirations. So then, how in the world are you supposed to find the right one?

Workout Buddy – 3 Questions That Will Prove You’ve Found the Right One

A few of our fitness pro pals filled us in on a few reflective questions that can help. In regards to a potential workout buddy ask yourself:

Will this person be able to meet in order to workout on a regular basis? Remember consistency is major key to getting in shape. Moreover, if someone is flaky they are not for you!
Is this person supportive or quite discouraging when it comes to your fitness goals? Any one who projects negativity or laughs at your goals does not need to be around while you are in the process off becoming an even better, healthier you. Negativity can zap your energy as well as inner motivation. Therefore, ignore or cut off the haters. Misery loves company and everyone like that can set at their own table.

Will your buddy be able to not only keep up, but push you to work harder during workouts? A great workout buddy will not just be another talking head, but a friendly a dedicated pal to light a fire under you when things start to feel a little “lazy.” That type of person will not allow you to settle for mediocre.

Know of someone? Good! Use the above criteria when making your final selection and you as well as your future fitness buddy will be on your way to getting fit and toned!

Late Night Beauty Call: Bianka Manderson The Gutsy Makeup Artist

Bianka has caught our attention several times on the Gram and trust us we are not the only ones. Manderson’s presence on Insta has grown to 40K followers and shows no signs of slowing anytime soon. One aspect of Bianka Manderson’s beauty repertoire that we love is her use of color. She creates stunning eye makeup looks that are as vivacious as her fun personality.

Nevertheless, she doesn’t limit herself to bold shades on just her eyes. She also utilizes vivid shades on her lips. For instance, we about died when she recently rocked a cobalt blue lip color.

The blue lipstick is made by mega beauty brand, Smash Box Cosmetics. The lip shade is called “Iced Out” and is apart of the brand’s Be Legendary Liquid Lip Collection. Your welcome.

Bianka Manderson – Embracing Flaws

Another reason we love this beautiful girl is for her transparency. In world full of filters and photoshop, Manderson is willing to inspire others by showing her “real” self. She recently, performed a tutorial demonstrating how to cover acne.

In the before and after she still was gorgeous. However, it is nice to see a brave face helping other girls love themselves while teaching cool makeup tricks and tips.

Best Foundations For Oily Skin -Scratch That, Make ANY Foundation Work

Arianne April 12, 2017April 12, 2017Leave a Comment

They say oil in the skin is the key to preventing some effects of aging, but must it look so bad in photos?! Oily girls know a struggle that many others simply shrug at. Furthermore, if your forehead or T-Zone has ever left you feeling like its reciting Rihanna’s Diamonds, take heart. When it comes to the best foundations for oily skin you no longer need to be preoccupied with finding that one magic brand. There is a simple application trick that you can use so that you don’t “shine bright.”

Best Foundations For Oily Skin -Scratch That, Make ANY Foundation Work

There are a several words that can instantly send chills down the spine of an oily skin gal. Words such as liquid and cream foundation. However, cream foundations do not need to be feared by any high producing T-Zone. You can apply one in a way that will allow you to get the coverage you need WITHOUT all the additional oil.

The reason MUAs (makeup artists) love creams is because of their long-lasting durability. Many creams outlast more common liquids and powder versions. Therefore, here is the pro trick to applying cream foundation if you possess oily skin.

Instead of your fingers apply the cream foundation with a damp sponge.
Most foundations contain oil in order to give its coverage more durability.
The damp sponge will pick up the foundation’s pigment or tint, but not the foundation’s oil.
This means you will get awesome coverage without glistening brighter than the sun.
