Be your own inspiration!

4 WAYS to be a the best possible version of YOU: 

1. Don't EVER measure yourself against others. Instead, measure yourself against who you were yesterday. Its YOU against YOU. Be your own fitness inspiration!

2. Embrace yourself - the strengths as well as the weaknesses. Avoid defining yourself by a particular strength or a particular weakness. YOU are unique, individual and AMAZING just as you are.

3. Learn to be in control of all things that mean something to you. Let go of what you can't control and don't need to control! You CAN control your attitude towards fitness.. remember that a one hour workout is only 2% of your total day!

4. GROW. Never ever stop being an open book. Do not ever declare yourself a finished product until the day you die!!

We're all 'busy' - but it's no excuse. Be stronger than your excuses. It’s absolutely NEVER too late to become what you might have been. xx

Shellac nails: a healthier option to acrylic!

Say hello to the future of nails. Shellac is the newest nail trend to hit the beauty salons! It is patent-pending UV3 technology that is said to “go on like polish, but wear like a gel.” Shellac is the first hybrid nail color to hit the market and is said to last for 14 solid days. No chipping, no smudging, and no cracking are a guarantee. No false nails glued on to your nail - just your natural nails, shaped the way you want, with an uber shiny finish. The UV technology allows for zero dry time, plus, it’s hypo-allergenic. 

When I first heard about Shellac nails, I was skeptical about the difference between shellac and acrylic. But alas, although it sounded too good to be true, I decided to give it a go. For $30 for a full set of polished paws (not bad, eh?), I was impressed. Not only are they cheaper and longer-lasting then false acrylic nails - they are also tonnes healthier for you! 

Check out my Vogue inspired 'dusk grey' shellac paws below. I'm hooked on this stuff! xx

If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you.

Thought of the day, thought it was worth sharing with all my fellow fitness enthusiasts. xx
