So it may already be spring by the date but here in the UK. It still is mighty nippy (cold). So this post of getting ready for spring/ summer does not seem so stupid as this is preparation for the nicer weather! (fingers crossed)
Going back to the start of year when resolutions were made, I didn't make a resolution but I told myself I would 'take care/ look after myself this year'.
The first two months didn't quite work out at all, but as we are in the third month already (where time has flown to I don't know). I have decided as I now work in an office, sat on my behind most the day. I would make sure that my "peachy" (peachy is the new nick-name for my bum in work) would not go flat like a chair.
That being said I researched on the wonderful Youtube what is the least time consuming exercises I could do to maintain my bum in tip top shape.
I was correct, squats were good, so were donkey kicks and an odd looking leg lift to the side.
I don't do these everyday! if I did I would look so oddly shaped it would be quite off putting. Instead I try to at least once every other day or 2 days (basically no less than three days a week).
Next I am a small girl on the top area (if you get what I mean), so I too researched any exercises that could help build the muscle area around them to appear bigger ( I am full well there are no exercises that can actually make them bigger).
I found a rather charming girl online showing how she does her exercises so I thought why not give this a try! (no harm can be done, by trying?)
Next Looking after my skin/ making me feel good!
Confidence is the key to surviving the bikini clad, daring girls of summer. Nothing can help you with this unless you help yourself in my opinion. So starting from I will say today! I shall take care of my hair, skin, face and nails.
This will give me confidence in myself that I look/feel and smell good therefore giving off the illusion I am a confident blonde.(Secretly I want to hide in an Alice and wonderland world where I meet fluffy white rabbits)
What am I going to do to achieve this? simple buy the right products and use them! Yes that means no hoarding them because I think they will look pretty or will save them for a nice day. (because Charlotte that nice day will come and gone a dozen times till you finally look at it and realise it's gone all ewwyy fide).
My partner had nicely given me a budget of £25 to spend in the lush store.
I have only ever owned the 'dragon's egg'. I too kept that so long till the smell wore off and I was just in a bath of soft glitter!.
I thought it would be fun and I would be having to choose what to put back to be in budget.
Instead I was spoilt for choice so much, that Curtis had to step in and tell me what to pick. (There is a haul coming next week on my lush buys).
So with them in mind I shall make sure I treat myself once a week to a nice bath bomb and give my hair some TLC. (Not that it's abandoned now as I don't dye it. So it's okay! I hope)
Now the fun and exciting bit! CLOTHES SHOPPING.
I have two chest of drawers, a clothes rail and still end up with a pile sat on the floor (excluding the weekly pile up of ironing to be done). I still always end up finding myself looking at it and thinking aww I wish I had that kind of clothing to match with this or this to wear with that.
So naturally I end up trying to find it in my next Primark shop (that haul is available online, see below for link)
So I can hear you saying what on earth is this post about Charlotte other than what is going on in your crazy mind! (shopping, shopping, jelly beans, shopping, food... mmm...)
Well I am going to share with you over the next few weeks in a few separate parts of my lead up to spring/summer warmer weather and I am inviting you lovelies to join in!.
I am going to tag my fellow welshie friend Sarah Siobhan in this but I tag you all!!:
Create a post on what's in your to do list for this spring/ summer, tag my name in there somewhere and I shall have a nose at your ideas/blog.
Happy Days Lovelies
Charlotte
