Besos

With the colder months coming who doesn't need a good hydrating lip balm? I just wanted to share my two favorite brands with you guys so you can have luscious, kissable, baby soft lips like me lol.

I stumbled across the Softlips in Target when I was scouring the store for random tidbits. It was just hanging out by the register...waiting for me...."two for $2.99" and I figured it'd be a good buy because my Burt's Bees one was almost out. It made my lips feel sooooo smooth. Like buttah!! The best flavor I'd have to say is Vanilla (of course) but the Watermelon is pretty good too.

The Maybelline Babylips are perfect for me because I don't really wear lipstick and gloss is too messy. They give me that buttery hydrating feeling with just a small hint of color. And they smell heavenly! Only $4.00 at Rite Aid. 

Btw, both of these balms have SPF 20...some extra awesomeness for ya

Halle Berry Legs

If you don't know me, I'll let you in on a little secret...I have a huge appreciation for physical fitness and muscle toned bodies. I just think everything looks better when it's sculpted and toned and I for one want to achieve Halle Berry legs. 

I mean think about it, your legs are the entire lower extremity of your body and something like 1/7 of your total body weight. They're responsible for everything from standing, walking, running, and jumping.  Without them you're held at a really big disadvantage. There's a lot more science to this whole thing like how many bones are in your legs (52 to be exact) and that 45 percent of women experience leg problems by the age of 30.

But me?? I just don't want flabby legs! That's not cute at all. I want to have legs of envy and I want to be wearing shorts at 45 and looking like Halle. So, I started working out. No canes and walkers in my future if I can help it!

Here's one of the quick workouts I do to tone up my legs. I'm trying to also focus on my tiny calves, one of the most difficult muscles to train partly due to genetics (i.e. my dad and his bird legs) but I'm trying to put it out there in the universe so that it'll happen for me. Wish me luck :)
