Wardrobe Picks: Spring and Summer

Image
Hi! Today I am going to share with you a couple of my favorite outfits:) I dress stylishly modest, I love using accessories to boost an outfit from "okay" to "hooray!". A vivid or patterned scarf will always bring that desired "pop" of color to an otherwise gray outfit; I love my converse, and I love you, my dear shirt, but the pretty blue makes you that much better:) I love love lovee finding cute, simple tops(the pocket makes it that much more adorable!). I paired it with medium-dark denim, a skinny belt, and my beloved Burks;) Perfect simple tee, with ripped denim, and colored vans- lovee it! The turquoise turtle necklace brings the color from the shoes up to the neckline. Cute printed blouse, along with stacked rings and a blush watch; it even has sparkles!!

So on top of light training(either running two miles, volleyball practice, or weight training), the last three days before the race I have been carb-loading. My calorie goal per day was 1300-1500 calories per day, with about 70% of t...

Final Week: Half Marathon

Heyo! So sorry, its been literally forever since last time :'''( But here I am! And I am determined, resolved, to be actively posting:) I started this blog a couple years ago, and the sole focus was dogs; however then I added the topics of "hair" as well as "health". But now I am 100% focused on fitness, nutrition, basically anything that applies to your overall health and well-being(just a heads up, its a possibility that I may post about organization or productivity as well, I am huge on those!). I am hoping that sometime in the future, I can post my workouts for you to follow, as well as detailed **healthy, nutritious, yummy** meals, etc, etc. But, unfortunately, I'm not quite there yet:/ Now onto the main focus of this post: Half marathon-ing!! Yes, it's true, I have been training for a half marathon, which is on August 20th!! Exactly one week from today, yikes!! I'm very excited, and while I have never completed that distance before, ...
