FIT FOR SUMMER

FITNESS INTRO

YO SUPERBABES!

Right so this week, I'm writing about a few tips and pieces that are perfect for making your work out just that bit more fun and sassy and fit!

 People often ask me how I keep fit and how I must feel under pressure to be fit, with working doing modelling. Honestly I do feel some pressure to keep fit. I am naturally pretty thin but as I keep telling people thin does not mean fit and healthy!!!!

 I must confess, I've had a tough few months and I'm probably the most out of shape I've been in a long time. (Moving back in with my ma and pa has been hardcore and there is hardly any space to work out at... )
They have all gone on holiday though, so I have the perfect chance to rearrange the house and make some space. Although today was SUNNY and I was actually able to get outside! YAY!

Over the next few months, I will give some of my fitness secrets, tips and exercises in the count down to summer which I think are fantastic and work for me and youtube videos to watch etc. Count this blog as an introduction. I'm personally a strong believer in little and often. That's what works for me but feel sure to work out whats right for your body. I try and do 10 minutes in the morning and 10-15 minutes 4-5 times a week. Usually weekends I would give myself the weekend off or do one session.

WORK OUT GEAR!

Shopping and looking good while working out does help motivate me. This week i'm wearing my Barbie Crop Top from www.adventurelanduk.com on sale for £10.00.  I loveeeee crop work out tops and and I am getting quite a collection now!













I'm also wearing my work out leggings also from Adventureland currently on £10.00!!! www.adventurelanduk.com

My trainers/hi tops are actually PRIMARK! I know I was shocked too...I've always had a policy, NEVER buy cheap trainers but these are really pretty and comfy and I love them!! Def one of my best finds for a while at only £10.00!

SASSY FUN AND DURABLE WORK OUT EQUIPMENT

So my pilates and balancing mat is called a Usa Pro one and I got from sports direct. I must confess have 3 yoga mats!  The others were cheaper and to be honest you can tell! This one is properly non slip ,doesn't roll up unless you want it too, and comes with a handy shoulder strap so you can carry it easy. I paid £15.99 but now you can get it in the sale for £7.99  I 100 % recommend it!! 

These are my little hand weights from www.sportsdirect.com £3.99 and perfect for doing your squats gurrrrrrls! 

And this little baby I got from Tiger! Tiger is so the new Ikea!  Girls they have some fantastic and cheap work out goodies in there!  This wobble board £5.00 is fab for your inner core,balance and getting your ankles stronger. It's useful to get your ankles stronger for things like balancing,yoga skiing! Its really fun too!!http://www.tigerstores.co.uk

DO IT

Your notice most of my work out stuff is pink. It's not cos i'm a bimbo, it's because it's the perfect reminder that you can be girly and sporty! I see too many girls palm off excuses about sport or work out not beingvery girly. Fortunately in my life time I am seeing such a HUGE attitude change. IF you wanna play rugby with the lads in the park, DO IT!!! If you want to be a 'sicck' skateboarder, get learning and DO IT!  Be whatever you want to be and don't EVER care what people think of you!

I will leave you with a silly selfie! 

Sending you lots of love and motivation! Lo xoxo

How to spot if 'YOUR A MERMAID IN THE CITY' & 'DRESS LIKE ONE TOO'

HOW TO SPOT IF YOUR A MERMAID IN A CITY!

Sadly not all mermaid's can live by the sea...(Just mainly those lucky Australian girls you see on Insta with those perfect six packs, green smoothies for lunch,strawberries for breakfast being fed by their romantic surfer boyfriends and that perfect sunshine!) Help Me I can't cope with it...
but of course we all follow one or two... Our insta motivation on another pants grey weather day in London, Paris,New York or wherever you are................? 

So anyhow's how to spot if 'YOUR A MERMAID IN A CITY'?! 

(Answer these questions below 
and see if you find yourself going YES YES YES!)


1. You have dyed hair that's trying to be red like Ariel or maybe it's pink or blue or its gone a kinda 
weird brown colour where its been dyed so much!

2. People get sick of you moaning about summer...

3. All your wardrobe consists of Hot Pants and bikini's which you keep just in case you get that           ' Record Heatwave summer' that the radio presenter has been promising for the last 5 years.

4. You spend half your life stalking hot surfers Instagram's.

5. You've put lemon on your hair before because you have heard it goes blonder in the sun.

6. When your at peoples house's and you spend half your time sat on the nearest radiator.

7. You can't concentrate at work or school because your planning when is the quickest time you can earn enough money to leave your job and go on your next travelling trip...(another excuse to stalk instagram for *cough* places to go surfing!)

8. You don't brush your hair and its full of knots because you just don't see the point, I mean did Ariel brush her hair? I think not!

9. Your hair, getting to your waist is your ultimate life goal.

10. Your hair has gone green before because you spent so much time in the local swimming pool practing kicking with your legs together like a fish!

11. Water is the ultimate lifesaver, you can't drink enough of it and your paranoid of getting old if don't drink 2 litres a day.

12.  Being barefoot is how you spend as much time as possible and these days you can't even be bothered to wear heels out.

13. People sometimes describe you or your clothing as,"wacky,out there, bright, unusual," or use expressions like "Hmm wow, only you could get away that".

14. You response is usually, "your lucky I'm wearing clothes as i'd rather not be."

15. Right now, your dreaming of a white beach, drinking water out of a coconut, in a shell bra...


HOW TO DRESS LIKE A MERMAID IN A CITY!


I've included my favourite bits from www.adventurelanduk.com this week and how to add a bit of mermaidness to your outfit!


MERMAID HANDS AND ARMS

Our vintage Starfishy Bracelet and ring is a must and lets like its just been found on the ocean floor! £13 for the set

I have teamed them with our Under The Sea Stick On Jewels in Mermaid Aqua. You can get two sheets of these for £6.00. These really are gorgeous and you can cut,size and stick where you like. 


You will just need to peel off the front, use a wet cloth and stick down. Perfect for festivals or jazzing up your outfit for a night out.
Lastly, I am wearing our little Seahorse Rings to complete the look. Our deal at the moment is you can get 2 of them for £7.00.

MERMAID HAIR AND EARS

Hair is important when pretending we're mermaids and our cute Shell and Starfish sets which are only £4.50 set just the right spot! I teamed them with my disco Dolphin earrings which look not quite perfect as I only have my earrings pierced at the top but are so cute and sparkly £7.00. The whole look is completely with our mermlife leotard which is completely durable and can be worn on a night out out or doing sport or is even made so you can go swimming!

Hope you enjoyed my MERMBLOG and had a little giggle and now all have serious MERMMAIDVIBES!

Love and sparkles!

Lo XOXO

GUYBROWS AND WINTER SKIN

So todays blog,I chose to write about two things that I like to think I know about and love! I love eyebrows and thanks to Cara everyone is loving them too!





1. How To Deal With Unruly Eyebrows.

This kit is from Collection and is 5.99 and honestly I think its awesome. I use the middle shade, the lighter brown but not the lightest shade.

I also discovered, Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Mascara which is pictured next to it. 4.99

http://www.boots.com

Honestly, if you have eyebrows and you wanna enhance them or you just want some eyebrow's, I can not recommend these products enough. I give 5/5 stars for both these products. I 100 % won't recommend any products in any of my blogs, I don't believe in and use myself.

SKIN TIPS

"Skin oh Skin,"... my favourite subject.. having had, pretty good skin through out my teenage years, yes  I was one of those annoying lucky ones... (although I was always seriously careful what I used on it) THEN 2 or 3 years ago ..BAM! Hormonal acne...! HELP!

In the last 12 months I've managed to combat this and now I'm not really having any breakouts apart from a couple, of spots at that horrible time of the month for us girls.

I really do feel, you have to make your skin good from the inside. For me personally,
St Johns Wart and Acidophilus tablets have saved my life and skin.....(yay no more moody slightly depressed Lo!!!)

You can grab St Johns Wart for 6.50 from Tesco http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=268307066

I also make sure I take acidophilus every day. Seriously full of good bacteria .... Provides 3 billion active cultures per capsule!!!!!  
http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/holland-barrett-mega-potency-acidophilus-capsules-60001540 Its 11.99 and worth every penny.

Aside from this, I swear by green tea and green smoothies.


CLEANSE,MOISTURISER AND OIL ME UP!!!!



So every day, I start the day with my Boots Tea Tree Foaming Face Wash! I love it and notice if I don't use it for a few days I then start getting a few pimples pretty quick. 3.59  http://www.boots.com/en/Boots-Tea-Tree-Witch-Hazel-Foaming-Face-Wash-150ml_1213604/

I then use L'Oreal Intense moisturiser
http://www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Paris-Triple-Active-Nourish-Intense-Hydrating-Moisturiser-Dry-to-Very-Dry-Skin-50ml_1222356/        4.33

& three times a week,  I use this little star buy! I LOOOOOVE IT!  Trilogy ROSEHIP OIL 16.99 http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/trilogy-rosehip-oil-100-organic-60076391?c=triogy

And then twice a week I also use this.....Decleor Aroma Cleanse which is pictured next to it. 20.63 It's my investment product and seems to last forever. I've given the link to the place I found it for the cheapest to buy. (I LOVE seeing all my dead skin come off!) haha! http://www.allbeauty.com/productPaging.php?productId=6370&ref=%7Badtype%7D&utm_source=%7Badtype%7D&utm_medium=FREE&cm_mmc=%7Badtype%7D-_-Free-_-Listing-_-6370&currency=GBP&country=48&&gclid=CMPm0ZKrtMMCFQgcwwodeCEAQA



    WAKE UP AND MAKE UP DAT FACE!

On my skin if I'm going on a night out or going for lunch with the girls, I usually use BB CREAM (in Shade (Light/Clari)  9.99 http://www.boots.com/en/Garnier-BB-Cream-Skin-Perfector-For-Sensitive-Skin-Light-50ml_1277270/

Under the eyes...in the winter I've been using Maybelline Fit ME. 5.99 (My bags are much worse in winter and in summer I can't actually use this shade but while I'm so pale it's perfect!)  http://www.boots.com/en/Maybelline-Fit-Me-Concealer_1279343/

Every make up artist has these two in their kit....their 100 % must haves... I can't get enough of MAC SOFT AND GENTLE SKIN FINISH
 http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/products/spp/shaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT159&PRODUCT_ID=PROD30735&SKU_ID=SKU55526

And SLEEK CONTOUR KIT IN SHADE LIGHT  6.49
http://www.boots.com/en/Sleek-MakeUp-Face-Contour-Kit_1395740/
I usually use these two products together. I only use the bronzer out of the kit and mix it with soft and gentle!

Thats about it for this blog post, I enjoyed getting some vitamin D this morning in the garden to take these little shots! All products featured have the links to where to buy and are pictured. 
Let me know, if you find any of these little tips helpful and if you want me to write about anything in particular! I've got the next blog post lined up to be about WEEEERK OUT/FITNESS TIPS.

                                                           Love and sparkles!

New Beginnings

Hey, Hola, Ciao,

Im Lo :-) and welcome to my new blog! 

I want to write about:

Outfit ideas OTTD
Places To Travel
My adventurelanduk item of the week.
Work Out Ideas,Tips And Sports
Healthy Food
Women that inspire me 
 I'm also happy to write about things you would like me to write about?? Let me know


Here's a really quick history lesson on who I am (YAWN!)

I own a little company called www.adventurelanduk.com

I grew up on a little holiday island called Tenerife.This fed my fascination with the ocean and its creatures. I was a total wild beach girl and my nickname was Mowgli. As a teenager we moved back to London where I was signed as an Agency model. I have currently been working as a model and in marketing for about 6 years! I adore all sorts of sport and think sporty girls are so motivating! From skiing to horseriding to football seriously can't get enough of it.

"Adventureland was thought up while I was on a job shooting a princess fairytale book. I thought about how much I would like all girls to have that feeling that you get when you dress up and feel like a princess!!"

I like to think of Adventureland as a affordable place where you can live out part of your own fairytales.

My next blog post and my 1st proper post will be on fitness,health and workout.

Lots of Love & Sparkles

Lo xoxo
