Workout at Home

Happy Monday everyone!!

It's been awhile since I've posted anything fitness related due to some pretty painful hip pains from running but I've calmed down on the running and opted for the elliptical so I'm ready to get back in the game!

Sometimes a pricy gym membership isn't in the budget but thats no excuse for getting out of a  great workout! In the summer some of my best workouts were had outside! Now that the weather has turned rather mushy I've turned to the world wide web for exercises. There are so many websites dedicated to at home workouts. All you have to do is get a resistance band or some dumbbells and your set! You don't even really need to get those as a lot of workouts focus on using your own body weight. 

My current workout go-to site is http://www.fitnessblender.com/

Just fill out the following information of what you want to achieve out of your workout:

Training Type

Body Focus

Difficulty

Minutes

Calories Burned

and instantly your given workout videos that fit your criteria!
 The best part about this site is its FREE!!!
(It sounds like I work for them, I don't, I just think its a great site!)


Equipment I recommend for at home workouts:

1. Ball 2. Dumbbells 3. Jump Rope 4. Resistance Band

Always remember:

Have a great workout and an amazing week!!

Romantic Bedrooms Using Neutrals

As it is now February, I want to do a series of blog posts on different ways to create a Romantic Bedroom. I will do them periodically through the month starting with using a Neutral palette to create a romantic bedroom. 

Neutral

1. Artist- Fanny Nushka Moreaux 2. The Cross 3. Pottery Barn 4. Anthropologie 

5. The Cross 6 & 7. Restoration Hardware

Cream furniture with antique details (weather it be the shape of the furniture or its hardware) paired with soft linens, antique or "antique inspired" lighting (a small chandelier perhaps) and paintings using neutrals and pastel colours help to create an inviting and relaxing space.

Pops of soft pastel colours in accessories add interest to a neutral palette.

Mixing textures can have a similar effect to a space as adding colour. It creates warmth and interest in the room.
