YouTube: ToneItUpcom

Lately I've been searching for some good work out videos on youtube and discovered a channel called ToneItUpcom. The owners of this amazing channel are Katrina and Karena (Katrina is actually a friend of Elle Fowler!) and their are both experts for a healthy lifestyle. They work as fitness nutrition coaches, certified personal trainers and fitness models!

They have a work out video every tuesday and a video about healthy food every friday. I absolutelly love their videos and I'll talk about them a lot on this blog in the future for sure. :)

Make sure to check out their website as well: toneitup.com

Getting fit!

I'm really sorry for not posting anything yesterday! My Internet connection wasn't working! But I'll upload two post today :)

So, as you already know, one of my new years resolutions is to lose some weight & to get fit! I want to share my "journey" to a better lifestyle (that sounds so cheesy xD) with you and in order to do that I thought of these to things: Work out Wednesday and Food Friday. That basically means that every Wednesday I'll post a Work out Wednesday and I'll just write about the workouts I've been doing that week and post a video (if I can find one). And one Food Friday it will be all about my favourite thing in the hole world: FOOD! :) I'll share some recipes and some tips and tricks with you on healthy and delicious foods.

I hope you'll enjoy this posts! Come back tomorrow for the first Work out Wednesday post ever :) See ya!

New Years Resolutions 2012

Happy New Year :) My first post in 2012 will be about my resolutions for 2012. I have a lot I want to change this year ^.^

• Get fit & lose some weight! I'm not gonna lie, over the holidays I got a little overweight! So my gole for 2012 is to get more healthy and just do more sport. I want to work out at least every other day.
• Keep my room cleaner! My room is always a mess and I really need to fix that! My mother would be thankful too ;)
• Operation Christmas Child! Since I saw this video, I wanted to do this! I think, it's a great thing to do. I want to do one for a girl and one for a boy. And I also want to do other things like "Blessing Bags".

So these are my top 3 resolutions for 2012. I have some more, but these are the most important ones.
Check out this video by Blair aka Juicystar07 about her resolutions. I love it!

What about you? Do you have any resolutions for 2012?

DIY Candles

I'm in love with this idea! Homemade candles that are perfect as gifts or just for yourself. And the smell...perfect :) I really like them!

And eventhough QueenBeeuty calls them 'Winter Candles' you can also do them in the Summer by just using other sents and colours!

I'll definetely try this out! What about you? ^.^



NOTE: I don't own this video! It was made by QueenBeeuty. I use it on my blog because I really like it!

DIY: Lip scrub

Another DIY for you today: In the Winter your lips need special care and what's better than using a homemade, all organic lip scrub? :)

You will need:

• Brown sugar (you could also use white sugar)
• Honey
• Oil

1. Mix a bit of sugar with some honey. Take as much as you want/need.
2. Add just a tiny bit of oil. 
3. Mix everthing together.
4. Apply on your lips and rub it in using your hands or a toothbrush. 
5. Afterwards you can wipe it off or just lick it off :)

The lip scrub will help you to get rid of all that dead skin on your lips and will make them super smooth. Use this about two or three times a week and your lips are ready for the cold Winter months.
