♡: my makeup vanity

I am so excited that I finally have a vanity. ehhhh!! I've been wanting one for a few years now and we had the chance to get one. My husband was so spontaneous about it and told me 'pick out your vanity' while we were shopping at Ikea. I wasn't expecting that, so it was a nice surprise. Right away, I was decorating my area and bought that mirror at Hobby Lobby (50% off) and bought the drawer organizers at Marshall's and TJ Maxx.

I really love that this vanity has enough storage to put all my beauty supplies.

♡: workout regime

I've been asked by a few, what is my workout regime. Before I was denied to workout, I worked out 5 days a week, right before bedtime. That was the only time in my day I could fit in a workout. I feel like my workout routine is the simplest, most minimal full-body exercise. I can't do vigorous workouts since I suffer from chronic fibromyalgia. But what I did was good enough for me. So, here it goes... Oh, I almost forgot to mention, whenever I do any of my exercises I tighten my abs. I believe it helps to have better results. And drink lots of water. Very, very important! Stretch before and after your workouts, as well. 

tricep press: I usually use a 10 lbs dumbbell - 2 sets of 10 reps then worked my way up to 3 sets of 10 reps.
 

Triceps extension: 10 lbs dumbbell -  2 sets of 10 reps

wall push-ups: If you're just like me, I'm awful at doing regular push-ups. So, I use the wall lol and I come to find out people actually do this. I thought, I was making up my workout lol 2 sets of 15 reps.
Bicep curl: 2 sets of 15 reps
 

tiptoe squats: Again, another workout I thought I made up but people do this as well. Instead of your common squats, Im on my tiptoes and squat. I started off 2 sets of 10 reps (slow) and now, I do 3 sets of 10 reps (fast) You'll feel the burn!
 


Exercise ball: glutes excluding the weights. 2 sets of 10 reps.  

back stretch: This feels amazing. My back is messed up but I do feel better when I stretch my back like this.

Ball crunch: 2 sets of 15 reps


leg swings: 2 sets of 10 reps
 

leg raise: 2 sets of 10 reps
 

And this is me now (taken on September 24, 2013): I haven't workout since February 2013. I still need to tone up and I really miss working out thoroughly because it helped me emotionally and of course physically. Hopefully soon, I can workout again. I still try fit in a tiny workout but only my legs and glutes (maybe 1 set of tiptoe squats and walk on my tiptoes) since ab workouts is clearly out of the question. And to think I was self conscious of my body. The last time I wore a bikini was before I had my second child back in 2009.
