What inspires me for the week, was a really hard decision to make, because there was so many that I never thought that, it would be this hard to chose, but it was. So I have narrow it down to the top five that became the inspiration for this week Friday favorites. 5) The night time, I like the pretty colors that I see and the little diamonds, and also I like the fact that when the sun reflects on the moon it is so pretty. It evens shows the fact that you can create something that can be so pretty and able to wear on the red carpet, and if anyone ask, just say that the night time was your inspiration.

I have been dreading this day for a while now, which means it finally marks that summer is officailly here. What I like to do, is mainly dedicate this day to all of my favorite swimwear that is out, and I pretty much own them all. During my time as a fashion stylist, and fashion blogger, my style never changes, and my budget never changes neither. I think you can all called me the budget stylist of them all. What keeps me thinking is that since 2016 has started, did someone go and change the whole swimwear thing, to go with everyone body style that is out there. One thing that I understand is that when it comes to swimsuits, we never know which ones we like and which ones we want to get. I decided that whichever swimsuit that I like, I am going to buy them, and if I can't find bottoms to go with them, I find something that much easier, look for a bottom that will. So look no further, I have created 10 looks that will help you pick out your own swimwear, so stay tuned and get ready for the 10 looks that you will go head over heels for. Well to be honest, I don't think that there is no term for the perfect tanning lotion. I believe that it up to you and also it depends on you and what you are looking for in Tanning Lotions. There one thing that I found out when I was doing my research there are 2 types of tanning lotions, one is medium and the other one is dark and it depends on what you are looking for in the tan. For one thing, you have to watch out, because some tanning lotions are permanent, and none of us don't want that. Well I don't, because within time, you can stop liking the color, well the tan. With tanning lotions, they are the safest way to go, without the harmful sun that everyone else like to be baked in. When thinking about tanning lotions, think hard, but not so hard, when you think about talking yourself out of it. When you decided to buy tanning lotions, you can always try them all on and find the best one that works for you, and also you can always try the one that is closest to your skin color. I always have this problem, because I am Mexican, well half, and I can never find the best color for me in tanning lotions or makeup. So I will try to mixed them, but for one thing, I don't think that Tanning lotions can be mixed, So please be careful, when you decide on what you want to do, remember this is your skin and it the only place you have that can never be change. When it comes to fitness, we all get that mode where we don't want to do nothing. But we have to if we have to start getting healthy and fit, Or let make it easier for ourselves, getting the bikini body that we starve for. So when it comes to not going to the gym, I have came up with 10 ways to stay fit.
1) Create your own boot camp - this is simple and easy, because we can always get our neighbors, to join with us, if we want to get fit. We can all do together and also we can learn the buddy system. 2) Bike ride around the your town - this way you are building leg muscles and also if you don't know where nothing is, this is your chance to find out. 3) Sign up for a obstacle-course race - this way you can build confident in yourself and also you are working on your endurance. 4) Take a hike - this way you are building up on your strengthen your legs muscles. 5) Try a track workout - this way you are building up your jogging, in case you don't know how to do it, this way you do and give a track work out a chance. 6) Turn chores into a workout - because you are basically moving your whole body and when you do chores, you are building up muscles. 7) Do yard work - This way you are working out, while you are doing your yard, like for examples, if you are raking, mowing, and picking up sticks, you are basically working out, just doing it differently. 8) Offer your services - This way you can do someone else yard work, and still keep the momentum going. 9) Practice Yoga at home - We all have a laptop at home that we can easier turn it on and watch yoga and do it. 10) Join a team - If you see a group of people doing workouts, ask them to see if you can join, or simply ask them if they are full, because you would like to join. courtesy of Health.com When we embark on the month of June. We get fitness fever, because we all want that bikini body, then we hit the wall of what fitness should I do. Then we start to mope, but what we all don't realized is that, we need to sit down and think, and just stop being lazy and just do fitness, but we don't know what type of fitness we need to do. So I decided to come up with a series of terms for different types of fitness. So it to being summer, well almost summer, I think we all need fitness in our life, but for some we are already doing it. We first began with Aerobic Exercise, the first term. Aerobic exercise is sometimes known as "cardio"- exercise that requires pumping of oxygenated blood by the heart to deliver oxygen to working muscles. Aerobic exercise stimulates the heart rate and breathing rate to increase in a way that can be sustained for the exercise session Aerobics - is a form of physical exercise that combines rhythmic aerobic exercise with stretching and strength training routines with the goal of improving all elements of fitness (flexibility, muscular strength, and cardio-vascular fitness). It is usually performed to music and may be practiced in a group setting led by an instructor (fitness professional), although it can be done solo and without musical accompaniment. With the goal of preventing illness and promoting physical fitness, practitioners perform various routines comprising a number of different dance-like exercises. Formal aerobics classes are divided into different levels of intensity and complexity. A well-balanced aerobics class will have five components: warm-up (5-10 minutes), cardio vascular conditioning (25-30 minutes), muscular strength and conditioning (10-15 minutes), cool-down (5-8 minutes) and stretching and flexibility (5-8 minutes).Aerobics classes may allow participants to select their level of participation according to their fitness level. Many gyms offer a variety of aerobic classes. Each class is designed for a certain level of experience and taught by a certified instructor with a specialty area related to their particular class. Circuit training- is a high volume (repetitions), low resistance (weight) workout with short rest intervals and is geared primarily at improving muscle tone and definition, while improving cardiovascular fitness. This workout involves exercising all major muscle groups (stations) in one continuous cycle, alternating between the different areas to allow for muscle recovery and to force your heart to work harder in pumping blood (and oxygen) to these constantly changing areas. Given the nature of your short rest periods, it is strongly recommended you use machines that do not require much time to select your weight (as opposed to free weights) and that the machines are in close proximity to each other. A circuit should work each section of the body individually. Typical activities include: Upper-body- Squat ups, Bench dips, Back extensions, Medicine ball chest pass, Bench lift, Inclined press up, Core & trunk, Sit ups (lower abdominals), Stomach crunch (upper abdominals), Back extension chest raise Lower-body- Squat jumps, Compass jumps, Astride jumps, Step ups, Shuttle runs, Hopping shuttles, Bench squat Total-body- Burpees, Treadmills, Squat thrusts, Skipping, Jogging Cycling - is the use of bicycles for transport, recreation, exercise or sport. Hiking- a usually long walk especially for pleasure or exercise. : a usually sudden increase in the cost, level, or amount of something. Running- Running is a type of gait characterized by an aerial phase in which all feet are above the ground (though there are exceptions). This is in contrast to walking, where one foot is always in contact with the ground, the legs are kept mostly straight and the center of gravity vaults over the stance leg or legs in an inverted pendulum fashion. A characteristic feature of a running body from the viewpoint of spring-mass mechanics is that changes in kinetic and potential energy within a stride occur simultaneously, with energy storage accomplished by springy tendons and passive muscle elasticity. The term running can refer to any of a variety of speeds ranging from jogging to sprinting. Skipping rope- Skipping may be used for a cardiovascular workout, similar to jogging or bicycle riding. This aerobic exercise can achieve a "burn rate" of up to 700 calories per hour of vigorous activity, with about 0.1 calories consumed per jump. Ten minutes of skipping is roughly the equivalent of running an eight-minute mile. Jumping rope for 15–20 minutes is enough to burn off the calories from a candy bar. Weighted skipping ropes are available for such athletes to increase the difficulty and effectiveness of such exercise. Individuals or groups can participate in the exercise, and learning proper techniques is relatively simple compared to many other athletic activities. The exercise is also appropriate for a wide range of ages and fitness levels Swimming- Swimming is primarily a cardiovascular/aerobic exercise[12] due to the long exercise time, requiring a constant oxygen supply to the muscles, except for short sprints where the muscles work anaerobically. As with most aerobic exercise, swimming is believed to reduce the harmful effects of stress. Swimming is also effective in improving health for people with cardiovascular problems and chronic illnesses. It is proven to positively impact the mental health of pregnant women and mothers. Swimming can even improve mood Walking- Regular, brisk exercise of any kind can improve confidence, stamina, energy, weight control and life expectancy and reduce stress. It can also reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, strokes, diabetes, high blood pressure, bowel cancer and osteoporosis. Scientific studies have also shown that walking, besides its physical benefits, is also beneficial for the mind, improving memory skills, learning ability, concentration and abstract reasoning, as well as ameliorating spirits. Sustained walking sessions for a minimum period of thirty to sixty minutes a day, five days a week, with the correct walking posture,[7][8] reduce health risks and have various overall health benefits,[9] such as reducing the chances of cancer, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, anxiety and depression.[10] Life expectancy is also increased even for individuals suffering from obesity or high blood pressure. Walking also improves bone health, especially strengthening the hip bone, and lowering the harmful low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and raising the useful high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.[11] Studies have found that walking may also help prevent dementia and Alzheimer's. Power walking- is the act of walking with a speed at the upper end of the natural range for the walking gait, typically 7 to 9 km/h (4.5 to 5.5 mph). To qualify as power walking as opposed to jogging or running, at least one foot must be in contact with the ground at all times (see walking for a formal definition). I got the definitions from Wikipedia, ace fitness and also Merriam-Webster dictionary. I don't know if the terms are correct. But to be honest, I think nobody knows the true definition to something these days, because first of all it means something different to us all. |
