EOTD & Makeup Break-up: Pink and Taupe

It's been a while I did any EOTDs for the blog... And I promise this time it wasn't laziness ;) The thing is as Winters start setting in and the weather becomes dry, I start getting dry patches over my lids and below my chin :( And though I do use an ointment for it, it does take time for them to heal completely... So last night while washing my face after the gym, when I noticed that the dry patches had started to heal, I for my brushes and my MAC and Inglot palettes out and did an EOTD... It felt so good :)

So here it goes...

Fitness between times

Then align bathing or brushing with exercises that strengthen your muscles. They are simple and execute them multiple times a day, you'll be able to get fit and lose weight.
7:00 If at this time you're in the shower, then you need to help your muscles to wake up.
In a standing position take a few push-ups from the wall. This is a great exercise for strengthening your chest.




7:30 Make breakfast. Slightly apart and quickly rise to the toes, then slowly return to starting position.
To increase the load, stand on one leg.

8:00 Every time you drive to work on public transport or stuck in traffic on a personal car, pull the stomach for 10 seconds.
Exercise strengthens your abdominal muscles, improves posture and helps the gastrointestinal tract.


11:00 In the office at this time do not sit at the table. Find an excuse to walk: go to the next room for the paper, which is sort of ended in the printer or drink of some water.
If you feel a drop in energy, put a book between your thighs and squeeze it for 10 minutes.
This will restore your vitality.
13:00
Lunch break. Rather than continue to sit in your favorite easy chair, go to the store for yogurt or a nearby cafe to eat a fresh salad.
Calculate the time so that you moved for lunch at least 15-20 minutes.
During the walk move from heel to toe, and control the abdominal muscles, breathe deeply. Just work up an appetite.
16:00 Do not wait for the elevator!
Come up the stairs, while squeezing your buttocks and counting to 10.


20:00 Instead of sitting on the couch, use it as a tool for the exercise: Lie on your side, lean on the arm bent at the elbow, bend your legs at the knees, lift the top leg slowly, hold it for a few seconds in the air, do the exercise 10 times and change legs.
This exercise strengthens the muscles of the thighs and buttocks. You may be able to perform not only while watching TV, but when reading.

The more you help your treadmill

The more you help your treadmillThis is plain simulator actually hidden as five of your faithful helpers.One of them - a physical education teacher. The second - a caring doctor. The third - a personal fitness trainer. Fourth - dull companion for a morning jog. Fifth - a reliable companion for you and your children.


Do not believe me? Judge for yourself. Thus, the modern treadmill can:
Organize domestic sports. Any track regardless of the price and the brand is a moving belt driven by an electric motor, which you have to walk or run.
Cheap track can run at speeds up to 16 km / h, with a maximum rise of 10 percent, have a timer, distance meter, calorie consumption.
Track dearly have the same features as the low-end models, and a more advanced electronic training program, some a monitor to measure heart rate.



Most complex and therefore expensive treadmills have features average cost, but have a more robust design, powerful engine, faster, increasing the length of the moving blade.
Among the three categories there are folding models: some trainers have a folding track, which you can pick up and lock in the upright position for easy storage.
Ungainly models tend to be more stable, but uncomfortable when the balance every square meter.

Monitor health status.
Track a little more expensive cheap, tend to have a facility to measure heart rate - at a special "Heart Rate Monitor" displays your personal testimony, and you can train to avoid congestion - plus you continuously control the heart work better than it would do the most responsible nurse.

Monitor the quality performance of an exercise program.
Good tracks can remember and change tempo without your lessons, slope track, control the speed of movement of the belt during the warm-up and during the main load to recreate the conditions that are similar to cross-country running - in short, to drive you to spare no effort, like this, good coach.

Create favorable conditions for the run.
Clear display, comfortable handles, wide side panels for easy gathering and getting out on the track, the presence of the player or even TV - if you are buying pay attention to these details, you will track a good friend and reliable companion.
To take care of security.
When buying, choose one with a "security key". Usually, when you start training, you need to insert a key that using a long cord is attached at one end to your clothing, the remote.
If you slip and fall, the cord to pull the key from the console that will stop the treadmill. The key - and even protection of children, who, not knowing the secret, can not run on their own trainer.
