Tone It Up #BikiniSeries

So excited!?

I have just signed on for the Bikini Series with TIU!!

I have almost everything all planned out and I am really trying to stick to it this time.

 (It all kicks off April 13th 2015)

Last year, I didn't. We were not in a good environment then. Luckily, we are now!

And back to living by ourselves. 

For me, following a schedule is really hard for some unknown reason. I don't like it and keeping appointments is sometimes a struggle...

I try hard to keep to a plan I make and I don't always make it to the end :/

When I don't, it makes me discouraged and I stop completely. I am a quitter of sorts...

I also need to work on that. I am my biggest critique and loudest voice when it comes to

 "You're not good enough", "You can't do it"...

Needless to say, I have a lot to work on.

 Moving on... I have also decided to go for the #100BySummer miles challenge. It is a part of the #BikiniSeries and #ToneItUp. I think they have this sort of extra challenge for every series the hold.

Such as this years #LoveYourBody challenge.

I will be keeping my stats with my FitBit. Hoping all this rain stops (gotta love Oregon weather), my daughter and I will be going for more walks. I need to talk my husband into getting me an umbrella soon. How we don't have one, I don't know!

I also did some super simple Easter nails and some trial and error Easter nails lol

I'll post them down below. 

That is all for now and thank you for reading. I will post TIU links below as well!

Simple and Cute :)

Not sure yet how I feel about these :)

 (No hate! My "struggles" may not seem real or important to you but they are to me. Thanks)

No More Nubs

I went back to Gel nails, again...

I love natural nails and I wish I could stay bare but it's just not in the cards for me right now.

I also love gel on my nails and the added length.

So for now, I'm going to keep the gel on until I can relax more and give my nails (and cuticles) more attention! I also might try doing some more acrylic work.

I need to set up a table outside for that. Just for the smell lol

My wonderful hubby took me to Ulta this last weekend and let me spend a bit. They had a lot of great sales. I believe its still going on, if you buy $19.50 of Ulta products you get a free gift. It's a really cute Lavender (or pink) rose designed hand bag full of make up. I got the lavender one. I love it.

I also went over to the polish isle and found a giant discount rack... Oops :)

I spent just under $100! But I got a lot.

 This is the bulk of it. And the gift bag. I have a couple polishes not shown and I gave the OPI kit to the right, to my mother in law. I was super excited about the Zoya Pixie Dusts being there and on sale. I thought that after they discontinued them, I would never get them. I still have a couple I want from the Pixies. Mainly the blue ones. But I believe I might be able to get them online. Through Zoya directly or Amazon.

This is what came in the gift bag...

Sorry for the bad lighting. I tried to make it a little better.

You get quite a bit in it. (BTW... I am not paid by them in any way! I bought this and all products from them cause I love their store, prices and products!)

You can go on their website for more details and how to purchase.

It ends 3/14/15 or while supplies last.

Don't forget to sign up for their Ulta Rewards card too ♥

On to more personal news, I started my Jillian Michaels 90 Day Challenge again. Going to follow thru this time and finish it. We won't be moving around this time either.

Shane bought Fitbits for both of us and I'm trying to stay focused using it. We'll see :)

I try to keep myself motivated and I want to do daily check ins with my community board and Instagram. Hopefully this will help and keep me focused.

I think that's about it for now. I got the app on my phone working as long as I don't post any pictures with the post. So I might be posting from my phone more. Little updates here and there.

Thanks for reading and have a great rest of your week!
