Deck of Cards Workout

Hey I've heard of the deck of cards workout before but I have never actually knew what it was until I did some research. So this workout is very simple and only uses a deck of cards. Normally, each suit is a different set of workouts for example, Hearts are crunches, spades are burpees, so on and so forth. And all face cards are worth 10pts, Aces are 11pts, Numbered cards are as valued. The goal is to get through all 52 cards everyday. You can organize this workout however you want by changing which exercises you want with a different suit for instance maybe you don't want crunches with hearts and want push ups with hearts its up to you.

How to

1. Get out your deck of cards
2. Flip one card over ex. 10 of spades. What ever you choose spades to be you do 10 of them. For now lets say spades are bicycle kicks, you do 10 of them.
3. Flip the next card over..and keep flipping and do the exercises until the deck is finished

This workout may seem easy but its pretty intense but there are different versions too. I particularly want to get through the deck faster.

Here's how

1. Get out your deck of cards
2. Flip over 3 cards at a time and add them up. Ex: 2, Queen, 7, total of 19 points and you choose out of random what exercises you want to do for example squats you do 19 of them.
3. Flip over 3 more.. and keep flipping til deck is finished

Here's the video I follow

Good luck getting Fit!!!

Olive Oil Beauty Breakdown

Olive oil is most commonly known for cooking but it also have benefits for you skin, hair, and nails. Sadly most people don't know this because of lack of research on their behalf , but its okay because I am going to breakdown the beauty benefits of Olive oil. Olive oil is wonderful for your skin, very moisturizing and keeps your skin soft and dry free. Instead of spending money constantly on products every month switch out for a bottle of Olive oil. I got mine from Walmart for $7.98 for a big bottle (Extra virgin Olive oil would be best)

Hijab fashion

So I have been on the interwebs one day just messing around and I came across hijabs. Just in case any of you who does not know what a hijab is its a head wrap that Muslim and or Somali women wear to cover their hair and themselves in practices of modesty or empowerment. I find this garment to be interesting and quite stylish. I know that the hijab is of some controversy were some say that it degrades women making them submissive to all men when in fact that is not the case. Times change in the world of fashion and the same applies to the hijab. The hijab can be worn in many ways and styles with different fabrics, stitching, colors, lengths, patterns and may other details. There are many other things you can add to to a hijab as well like broaches, decorative headbands, and even hats! I like how the hijab is so versatile.

DIY: T shirt Cutting

I have found a new love for T- shirt recon. I have always been a little scissor happy, cutting up everything and anything . Now I can put this to some use. This craft is an easy way to switch up your style and add some edge to a boring t-shirt that will have you friends asking you "How you do that" or "Where did you get that shirt from".

All you need is

• Simple or patterned t-shirts (preferably 1 or 2 sizes bigger than what you wear, boy shirts work great!)
• scissors
• creativity

salinabear and itsblitzzz are some of my go to YouTube channels for t-shirt cutting ideas and tutorials

Water fasting Update days 1-3

 Sorry for not getting this post up earlier I was a busy bee with work. I hope you understand:)

Day 1   6/4/2012

I woke up at 9:10 to start getting ready for work. I am so sleepy but its not from fasting its because I stayed up too late last night. I dont feel hungry but I do feel like I can go for something, but I'll be fine. I have a long 4-5 hr day ahead of me plus travels so I will make sure that I drink enough water throughout the day.

Im back its 10:47 and all day I was tired and hungry, I could not stop thinking about food. Sometimes I would be distracted then I see something that reminds me of noms. All I could think about was what I was going to have once I got home. Its disgusting how much I thought about eating today...sadly I gave in and had a bowl of mini wheats, some doritos, and a bowl of ice cream, I feel bad that I gave in. Surprisingly, I 'm not hungry anymore because I realize that I want to do what I promised myself. I will complete the fast as scheduled, I am not going to quit!

Day 2  6/5/2012

Today I woke up sooo hungry but I kept repeating "Hunger I is my body fighting toxians" and this helped me get throught the day. Water was my best friends today. Times where I felt my hungriest I would consume more water and that helped to curve my craving :) Other than being super hungry today was a great day.

Day 3  6/6/2012

 Hey yall!!!! Today is my last day of my fast and I am so happy Whew!!! Fasting is alot more difficult than what I thought it would be. Its all mental and thats the part I struggle with the most. I would Definatly do this again but not until I get a 9V battery for my scale and until I am better prepared.
Anyway today hunger pains wasnt as bad today as is was the other two days which is good. I drank alot of water almost to the point where I drank too much and started to feel bloated and uncomfortable.

New beginnings... water fasting

I have been doing more and more research on water fasting, looking up both sides the negative and the positive. So far the pros outweigh the cons.  Still I am a little bit sceptical but I want to give it the old college try. I don't want to seem like I'm trying to be something that I am not, trying to take the easy way, seeing lazy, or insecure. I want to do this more so for the health benefits rather than the weight loss even though that would be awesome. Frankly I really don't care if anyone disagrees with this because  this is my life, my opinion, and my choice. I am doing this for me and me only. Throughout my years of binging out of boredom I feel my body hating life.. slowing down and unhealthy. I just don't want to be overweight or feel disgusting on the inside everyday. I know that my biggest obstacle would be the mental part not so much the physical. I need to be mentally prepared for this fast and I am known to make excuses and to put stuff off. I promise myself I wont do that again. I am going to start off with a 3 day water fast to test it out.. if I think I can go longer I will. Seeing as though I love water this shouldn't be so much difficult. I don't know my measurements or anything but will post went I figure it out. I don't know my weight as of today but I am going to go off on my last weigh in which was 226lbs. I personally don't look that big but its true, my short term goal for the end of the summer is to be out of the 200's so 199lbs would be awesome with a 26lbs loss. I am not shy about posting my weight for everyone to see cause I dont realy care, once I lose it all it wont matter anyway. You get me? My ultimate goal is 170lbs I wouldn't want to go any less because I feel as though I would be too thin and really unhealthy and sicking and to be honest anything less than that would be unrealistic. So I'll post my fasting update in 3 more days. See you then :)

Agelica Pickles is the mean girl of the whole crew, shes bossy, loud and spunky. If she wasa real person I think she would wear something like this. I believe her to be quite fashionable with the ability of color block successfully!

New Laptop!!!

Yesterday my new laptop came in today. I was soo excited. It feels a lot different from my older computer. I no longer have to worry about a wireless keyboard attachment, broken headphone jack, Cd drive popping out randomly, loose screen, over heating, cant last for more that 2 minutes with out the charger lemon. LOL. I almost forgot what its like to have a fully functioning laptop! I cant stop playing with it I love it so much and I promised myself that I will take care of this one, no one is to touch it!!!!!!
This laptop is a HP model purchased online from tigerdirect.com
