Motivation

A little over a month ago I ordered my first pair of Lululemon pants and for those of you who don't know, Lulu's motto is "sweat once a day and/or #thesweatlife." When I opened up my package a little slip of paper with their motto fell out and it made me think about how I rarely exercised. The next day I went to the rec (my university's gym) and did some cardio for 30 minutes. Since then I've gone every single day, for longer periods of time, pushed my self harder and tried new things. A little over two weeks ago I decided that I was going to run. I am not a runner, have never been a runner, and have honestly never seen myself as a runner, so this was a big deal for me. When I hopped on the treadmill I set it to 5.something and started to run... I only lasted 7 minutes. It was rough and made me feel so out of shape. So each day since I've been running and pushing myself to further distances. Yesterday was a pretty big day. I started on the treadmill and ran a 10 minute mile (kinda slow and easy, nothing too crazy) then walked for .5 mile and I wanted more, I wanted to run more. (craziness). So I put the speed on 6.0 and ran. I covered the time and distance tracker with a towel and just ran until I wanted to stop. Turns out I ran for twenty minutes and a little over two miles. That may seem easy to some, but for me it was a big deal and I felt as if I needed to share it. Happy Tuesday! image via lululemon

Best Dressed at The Oscars

As you all know, last night was the Oscar awards and while I tried to stay up for the entire event, I crashed just 30 minutes before the end. To say the least I had to catch up on all the winners this morning. However, I did get to see Jared Leto and Lupita Nyong'o's speeches and they were both incredible. As for the fashion of the night, there were some incredible dresses. Cate Blanchett and Lupita Nyong'o both stole the show in my opinion. The detail on Cate's dress was just incredible and that perfect pastel blue Prada dress on Lupita was simply gorgeous. Other favorites include, Charlize Theron (!!!!), Emma Watson (her makeup was phenomenal), and Amy Adams who styled herself instead of having a stylist. Oh! and I can't forget Kate Hudson because she looked absolutely radiant in that silver Atelier Versace gown and Jennifer Lawrence in that fire red Dior!
