Happy 4th of July!!

What a cute 4th of July Mani idea!! Happy birthday America! Its been raining all day here in Panama City, FL, so it hasn't been the typical bbq and sunshine kind of day. No worries though because I got to spend a nice relaxing day with the boyfriend. A day with no plans and pure relaxation. I've had good food, good wine, good people and a really good massage! Maybe we will even throw fireworks in the mix. How did you spend your day?

Color of the week: lala lime

Baby will be my, corona and lime

And I will be your, main squeeze

And if your brother don't like my style,

We can take it to the street,

We can take it to the street

Yo, little girls in the city, dress up pretty

Go out and get messed up, get shitty

Girls by the sea, dress like hippies

And rock love beads and go skinny dippin'

Girls in the hills, go day trippin

To get their nails done and hair straightened

Little girls in the 818

Get hot when I roll over Laurel Canyon

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day everyone! I just want to say thank you to everyone who dedicated their life to serve for this country and all the beautiful people in it. Today at Panhandle CrossFit we had our Memorial Day "Murph" workout in honor of Navy Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy, age 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan on June 28th 2005. 


Every year on Memorial day we do this WOD to remember him. Its a rough workout but its the least we can do in memory of him. He died serving us so we can put ourself through hell for him.


R.I.P M. Murphy

"Murph"

1 mile run

300 squats

200 Push ups

100 Pull ups

1 mile run

**Wear body armor if you have it. You can break up the squats, push ups and pull ups any way you'd like. Just start and finish with 1 mile run.

(I don't remember by time last year but I got 43:18 this year. I was shooting for  around 45 so I was really happy with my time.)

Color of the Week: Confetti Arm Candy

This weeks color of the week was inspired by confetti. Confetti is such a fun way to add sparkle to anything. It always puts a smile on my face! Even if your not celebrating anything- add it! 

For my best friends birthday years ago I broke into her car and poured confetti all in her air conditioner. When she turned her car on confetti blew all over the place. She was a bit upset because of the mess we created, but the smile she had on her face was priceless.

Color of the Week: Life as Rx'd

This week... I decided to do a Life as Rx'd theme for my Color of the week. I was inspired by Adams shirt when we were at the gym yesterday. For those of you who may not know, Life as Rx'd is a CrossFit clothing company. They have some really nice tanks. Make sure to check them out! [Life as Rx'd means life as prescribed] 

 I recently found these cool nail art deco polishes so I wanted to test them out. It has a really fine tip so you can draw anything or use it to make dots. I was actually impressed by the quality and how easy it was to use. It was from the dollar store so one of my brushes had no tip and is impossible to draw with, but I can still use it somehow. I'm usually a very shaky person too so this sort of task was very difficult. I am happy with the way it turned out though.

It's Hippo To Be Square

Its Monday morning yet again. The sun is shinning, the birds are chirping and I feel a good week coming on. It's my first week of summer vacation and it is much needed.I am excited to be hitting it hard in the gym and getting my diet back on point. This week I chose to go with the color purple. I love this shade because its not an obnoxious purple. Some shades of purple are just to much for me. I added some silver polka dots to my ring finger as well to add some sparkle.  Here is a tutorial on how to make your own dotting tool. I used the tip of a bobby pin for mine. It didn't turn out as neat as I would have liked. The dotting tool works a lot better. I picked up this shade from Sephora its called " It's Hippo to be square."

 LOVE IT!

Color of The Week: Pink Lace

Happy Monday everyone.

 Hope your day is magnificent!  After a rough weekend I chose a calming pink for this weeks Color of The Week. I love this color. Its one of my favorites- and of course its pink ;)

Finals are this week and instead of studying I found myself out and about with the boyfriend over the weekend. Not only did I consume to much alcohol and eat crappy foods I also managed to wreak my car. No, I was not drinking and driving. It was early Friday and an awesome way to start my weekend. No one was hurt except for my car. :( I felt crappy most of the weekend and had no motivation to study. It is now Monday.Time to get back on track. I should be stressed out because I wasted precious study time and now only have limited time, but no worries. No need to bring unnecessary stress into the new week. Hope you all had a better weekend than I did.

Color of the week: Hot Pink

Color of the week:

Its Monday morning, the beginning of a new week. My hands are cracked, dry and my nails are left with specks of mint green. No worries though, because it is Monday-Mani Monday ;).

Its always funny to see the manicurist's reaction to my hands. I have calluses on my hands an inch thick, my skin is dry from the cornucopia amounts of chalk I use during my WODs. They pick at my skin like WTF does this girl do. Being a female CrossFitter its hard to keep your hands "girly".  Lets just say by Monday, my hands are begging for some love.

So I sit in the chair as they wash away the remains of the previous week. My hands are shaved down, my cuticles cut and my nails are left with a new shiny color for the start a new week. Whats your color for this week?

Mani Mondays

 Sunday is traditionally regarded as the first day of the week.

Most people agree Monday is the start of the week.

I use Sunday as my day to get ready for the upcoming week. I clean my house, make sure all my laundry is done, run any last minute errands, then relax the rest of the day. As Monday makes its way to me everything is ready to start the week smoothly. But there is one thing I leave out...

What do I do for myself?

Sure all my laundry is done and I am showered so I can wake up and go. But am I ready?

  I think the more time you spend pampering yourself the better you feel, and the better you feel, the more confident you are, and the more confident you are you are more likely you are to have a positive and successful day. So why not choose something small and pamper yourself.

Monday is your day!

Go ahead pamper yourself!
Start the week  fresh and new.
Color coat your week.
Take a moment for yourself.
Learn new things.
Start Monday with a fresh new manicure.
Feel good about yourself.

After all they are just nails...
