Its the end of January already? I swear it was Christmas Eve yesterday? Where has the time gone? Anyway, I have decided to share with you all my faves for this month, from beauty to food to music!
Naked 3 Palette
I love how versatile this palette is and can be used for both day and night looks! My favourite shades have been 'trick' which I use on my lid, 'darkish' which I love to apply in my crease and 'strange' which I use to highlight underneath my brow and inner corners of my eyes :) I am absolutely delighted I received this for christmas and cannot wait to play around with other combinations of colours!
Breville Active Blender
If you are looking for a smoothie blender that is quick and can process almost any ingredient you throw in, the Brevile active blender is a must! it comes with two portable travel bottles, which you just throw your ingredients in, blend, and replace the blade with the lid and your all set! i absolutely love it and haven't stopped making smoothies!
Kayla itsines Bikini Body Guide
Being the fitness fanatic I am I had been dying to purchase the Bikini Body Guide (BBG) by the inspirational Kayla Itsines! Having seen it all over Instagram I just had to try it! And I am so glad I purchased it! It includes a series of workouts for you to complete for 12 weeks! It incorporates legs, cardio, arms and abs workouts. The training guide includes two circuits, which must be completed two Times and you are given 7 minutes to complete as many rounds of the circuit you can. I enjoy doing these resistance exercises and can finally do a more than one push up! haha
'One Direction' and 'Years and Years'
I just had to Include my Boys 1D! having released their new album towards the end of last year i instantly fell in love! I had always despised one direction (for some bizarre reason) as i thought they were like any other commercialised boy band with little talent! but their new album 'four' is absolutely amazing and by far the best album yet! my favourite song has to be 'girl almighty' although i also like 'fireproof' and 'no control' and 'steal my girl' and 'where do broken hearts go' and the whole album to be honest ha!
The new and upcoming band 'years and years' have been producing some pretty tasteful music and I absolutely love their single 'desire'. Its uplifting and upbeat and is a song that i highly recommend you add to your workout playlist!
Foam Roller
Whilst completing the BBG a foam roller is a must, as each workout leaves you satisfyingly sore! So decided to by myself a decent foam roller which Kayla recommends!
Avocado
I've always liked avocado but recently I've been loving it! Its a great subsititue for butter and can also be added to smoothies! It provides significant amounts of healthy fats and contains more potassium than a banana! which is great for muscle recovery after a workout! I highly recommend!
Hi Ashleigh,
ReplyDeleteJust stumbled across your blog and I think you have a new avid follower!
I love my Naked 2 (haven't got my hands on 3 yet), am working on my bikini body and have been eating avocado for breakfast most days- sounds awful I know, but you should try it with a boiled egg and a tiny bit of salt and pepper... bit of chilli sauce if your daring too :) it's delish! I have been having this after my morning runs!!
I would love you to have a little look at my blog!
