Anna Wintour 73 Questions




One of my favorite sections in the Vogue website is the 73 questions video. They've done Blake Lively, Dan Radcliffe and SJP to name a few. But this one featuring Anna Wintour is very very interesting.

Adriana Lima is so hot but Candice and Karlie will always be top of my list.

The Daily Workout

I'm at that phase where my metabolism is slowing down and I find myself burdened with a bloated belly after downing just two slices of pizza. Gone were the days when I could finish off half a box of Yellow Cab's 18 inch pizza and still have a flat tummy. I thought I'd be thin forever no matter what I ate so I never gave much thought to exercise.

When I started noticing that my metabolism was slowing down and my movements felt really sluggish. I went to Gold's Gym. All I did was attend their dance classes which I really enjoyed (Zumba, Belly Dance and Street Dance). But the commute is too time consuming and I felt like the membership fee was taking its toll on my pocket. I went for the cheaper alternative - youtube exercises which I can easily do at home.

THE TOOLS

The boyfriend got me a blue yoga mat, an exercise ball and a pair of blue 3lb dumbells from Toby's Sports which makes exercising at home so much easier.

I got the blue "Bigggest Loser" yoga mat!


For some reason, my brain associates the visual of my yoga mat with the happy feeling I get after working out so I always find myself getting up to do my workouts as soon as I lay eyes on the mat.



THE EXERCISES

I've been doing this 10 minute ab exercise 3-4 times a week. It doesn't get easier no matter how long you've been doing it (except for the side planks, those are my favorite).


This workout for the arms, I really like. It isn't too difficult either but you definitely feel the burn. I do this after the 10 minute ab workout.



This "Victoria's Secret: Runway Ready" workout, I really really hate because it made me realize how weak my legs are. Plus I find lunges really difficult let alone do reverse lunges. I only started this today but definitely need to keep doing it to work on my leg strength.


This is my favorite core exercise which I outgrew because I've been doing it for 2 months and it got boring so I switched to the other three workouts.



P.S. Don't forget to do stretching exercises before the workout and cool down exercises after.

What i'm loving now: Tomato + Chevron Prints + Coral & Mint

I used to wear black and neutrals all the time. Lately though, I noticed I've been a bit more experimental and find myself drawn to bright colors - particularly Coral & Mint Green. I've also been into a lot of chevron patterns. So imagine my happiness when I walked into the recently opened Tomato store in Glorietta 2...

and found these...

The Coral Bodycon Chevron Print Dress of my dreams!

It's like these dresses were made for me! It was either fate or they hired a mind reading designer! Lol! It's so rare that I go into a shop and want to buy almost everything!

Anyway, I bought both dresses and apparently they are now on sale from Php850 down to Php680.
I feel like I hit the jackpot with Tomato because not only are their dresses fashionable, but they are also so comfortable to wear, can be easily accesorized and paired with blazers to go from casual to office wear and yet so affordable.

Oh and I got this sheer patterned top too!



Loving this homegrown brand so much.

Victoria's Secret: Runway Butt

So I was looking for videos of the recent Victoria's secret fashion show and stumbled upon this.



This one's called, Train Like an Angel: Runway Butt. Candice makes it look so easy and she's a joy to watch! So easy on the eyes!

There also other VS training workouts in youtube for working out your core, doing cardio, trimming your thighs. It dawned on me that even these models have to workout to get that runway ready body and that I should probably stop whining about putting on weight and start working out. Tomorrow. Or next week.
