Mommy and Me Workout Buddy System

January 11, 2021 No Comments

SHOP THE POST:

What makes working out fun is to have a workout buddy. So today I am sharing our mommy and me workout buddy system. I am so glad I have a daughter who loves to workout with me, she is even stronger because she used to do gymnastics.

We just started with just following some of the Zumba strong workouts on Youtube which are like 20-30 minutes each. Then we did HIIT workouts together. And this 2021 we are taking it another level and we are going to follow the Bodyboss Method for 12 straight weeks. We do cardio in between like Zumba dance and as a whole family workout in our home gym which I have shared here.

This is another good way to start if you can have a buddy that is willing to be sweaty with you. Not necessarily a daughter but somebody who is already with you at home specially now during this Pandemic/quarantine period. This is a good way and safest way to do it and to stay home and stay fit this 2021. Let us make our immune system strong.

If you do not have a home gym, Your living room is the best bet or just a small space in your room. There are a lot of workouts to choose from. Or just owning a spin cycle doesn’t take up much space either. This is a good one to invest with in your home if you are ready to be serious at it and not let get it dusty after few usage. Let’s start 2021 Fit and strong all year long! Sounds like a good slogan isn’t it?

Thank you so much for stopping by and hoping I was able to give another insight for all of you to get inspired.

SHOP THE POST:

I know most of us stays at home and rarely going out. But if you do, make sure to make it fashion since it is not that often anymore. This Stand Studio oversized Faux fur (teddy) coat is perfectly paired whit this casual outfit I have, you can easily throw this coat over a simple as joggers or loungewear to make to look leveled up.

I have been wearing Teddy coats since I became a blogger and I am loving this trend. To me, it has now become one of the Winter style staple as classic as a regular coat if you are into style and comfort. It easily gives the simplest look the class and the warmth it needs without sacrifising your comfort.

I have added a little bit more teddy coat here for different price points so you have all the option and flexibility depending on your taste and budget.

Also linked of the past teddy coats I have worn here. This is the first one I own as a blogger that I got from boohoo, one of my favorite go to stores. And this one if perfect transitioning to Spring from Winter here.

SHOP THE POST BY CLICKING ON THE IMAGES BELOW:

There are a lot of things we realize during this quarantine period. Like self care, the most important thing that we usually does not invest much time. We have to nourish ourselves, give it rest and beautify it also. One of the things that is a game changer for me here is the Clarins extra firming cream. I apply it on my neck as I have loose skin there. In just few usage it is already showing progress.

I always use different beauty products from drug store items to high end beauty products. I always mix them up especially if they really gives good impact on me. The eyeliner here is so good and ever since I used it I stick with it. The blush and the lipstick is a good combination for me right now. I am into pink this Spring and it feels and looks so refreshing to me.

I just enjoyed the time when I was on isolation and I was so bored so I just got my make up set, nail set and hair care essentials and worked with it. How about you aside for beautifying your home, homeschooling your kids, Spring cleaning and working on storage at home. What else have you invested your time during these times?

Quarantine Series: Storage and Organization

April 6, 2020 2 Comments

SHOP THE POST:

DOOR ORGANIZER/ DRAWER DIVIDERS/ CAN ORGANIZER/ CONTAINER SET/ POT ORGANIZER/ 3 DRAWER STORAGE ORGANIZER/ 44 STACKABLE STORAGE CABINETS/ SIDEBOARD

Over the weekend, was able to organize at home. I usually work on every Saturday on another facility but then since we have this pandemic I have not been doing it. Now I had that time to organize at home and was able to literally clean the house the way I would want it. This is another good side of this quarantine.

On this sets here, I was able to get the sideboard as shown here…. I truly love it and it was not hard to assemble. Wayfair was on point shipping this because it came after 2 days of ordering it, that I call fast shipping!

As you can see here, I was able to enjoy my Dalgona coffee that we have been obsessed about at home. Also had to wear this romper since I have no where to wear it but home for the next few weeks. might as well look cute in it.

if you will look into my post here on how I decorated the house for the Holidays here, You will notice I already have a lot of built in storage but that seems to be not enough. I do have a lot of stuff that needed to be stored in the right place.

Next up I was able to score this Rug doctor that I have been eyeing for a long time now. It was originally $300 and got it for $99 such a steal. It really did its job on cleaning our carpet. Oh man that one, when you have 3 kids at home, It always needs cleaning. And these days I have been so paranoid since I am a healthcare worker. I have been disinfecting everything.

Have a wonderful week ahead. I hope you find this post helpful to keep you busy this quarantine period. Stay safe and healthy everyone!
