Best Workout Ever!

This is the best work out ever because it provides great cardio, tones your lower body and it only takes 15 minutes!  This workout kicks my butt every time and I feel it in my lower body for days afterwards (in a good way).  Ok so here's what you do: do this workout two or three times a week.  Complete as many reps of each move as you can in 60 seconds, going from one exercise to the next without resting.  Take a one-minute break, then repeat for a total of three sets.

Product of the Month: May

With Spring comes rain and thunderstorms so I wanted to feature a product this month that deals with smooth and frizz-free hair.  Therefore, the product of the month for May is John Frieda's Frizz Ease Three Day Straight Spray.  I have very thick and frizzy hair and I've tried lots of different creams, gels, and sprays to tame my frizzy tresses.  I was near the end of my rope when I decided to try the Three Day Straight Spray, I didn't think it was going to work like it said it would.  However, I sprayed it on my damp hair, blow dried my it and immediately saw and felt a difference!

Heavy Metal

This blog is all about heavy metal and no I don't mean the music genre, I'm talking about metallic nail polish!  I've created these nails designs using 3 different metallic nail polishes:


                                                                               Gold

                          For this look I used Revlon's Metallic's nail polish in Gold Coin, Forever 21's
                                                    nail polish in Taupe and Sally Hansen's Nail Art Pen in White

                                
                                                                                Silver

                                                 For this look, I used a silver glitter nail polish and made the
                                                                     designs with Sally Hansen's Nail Art Pen in Black


                                                    
                                                                               Copper

                                       For this look, I used Revlon's metallic nail polish in Copper Penny and 
                                                Sally Hansen's Nail Art Pen in Black. I love this look its very tribal-like

Celebrity Looks for Less

Want to dress like your favorite celebrity?  Look no further! Here are a few celebrity looks I found that are similar and cost a lot less.



This first look is of Hayley Williams from Paramore's new music video "Now."  I instantly fell in love with her outfit (and the song) and immediately started looking for similar clothes online. Here's what I came up with:



 
*All clothing from Forever 21 except for boots which are from urbanog.com

Military Jacket:  $32.80                                              Black Combat Boots: $34.90         

Taupe Cable Knit Sweater: $24.80                                             Destroyed Skinny Jeans: $22.80

*To get Hayley's look, cut some slits into the sweater to give it a more edgy look

This next look is from Katy Perry.  I love this outfit because it's so simple and classy and who doesn't love the 1950's retro look?

*All clothes from Forever 21, except for
the capris which are from Love Culture                                                                                                                                                                                               Top: $15.80

                                                                                     Sunglasses: $5.80

 Blazer: $25.90          White Collar Shirt: $15.50           Shorts: $19.80         Tie: $8.90         hat $10.80

A fun twist on an old classic!

                             Who doesn't love a classic black leather skirt? 
                                       It's so chic and goes with anything:

But now that spring is here, I thought why not put a twist an old classic?  Instead of the black leather skirt, this season's hottest trend is the blush pink leather skirt.  Pair it with a chambray top and a chunky gold chain necklace and you've got a hot new look!

Or for a softer romantic look, pair the skirt with a white lace top, some black wool tights and black chunky heels:
