FOTD: Plumage Blues

This is just a REALLY QUICK fotd post. I wore this to work yesterday & I didnt have enough time to take a bunch of photos so I snapped this one right before I had to leave just for you guys! This look actually got me tons of compliments, which surprised me because I thought it might've been a little strong against my peaches & cream complexion. I am not a fan of wearing lipstick or lipgloss to work, mainly because my hair gets stick in it on the way there. At work I paired this look with Benefits new "Benetint Lip Balm" which is a nice cherry red colour (identical to their original "Benetint").

What I Workout In

I like working out in as little clothing as possible. I hate sweating & feeling really hot because of fabric. I also like being able to watch which muscles are working when Im using the weight machines. I prefer tank tops over tshirts & shorts over pants. Alot of the time I wear leggings that go mid calf but I've just recently been able to fit into my old short shorts from highschool so I've been sporting those instead. My shoes arent any awesome kind, they were the cheapest ones that I found. I do need to pick up a better pair, preferrably addidas or something made for athletes since my shoes slip & slide easily. The traction sucks. I dont spend a ton of money on specific athletic wear like Lulu Lemon or anything. I would love to afford their clothes but its not a requirement to workout.

FOTD: Smokey Neutrals

 I've been on a neutrals kick lately. I find them to be the most simplest looks to do & they flatter my eye colour very nicely. Neutrals also dont clash with whatever Im wearing. Today Im going to dinner with James & his friend. Dont mind the slightly bluish tone to the eye photo. It was extremely red hued so I tried to fix it but this is as good as I was able to make it.

Blog Update

I know I've been lacking on blog posts but I've been super busy lately. I had blog posts written up & saved, which is why my previous posts were much more frequent but I posted all of them & havent had time to write more. I never have any downtime to myself these days. My usual day consists of going to work 9-5 then hitting the gym from 6:30-8, making dinner, showering & then going straight to bed after a call from the boyfriend. On my days off Im usually in Toronto going to doctors appts, dentist/ortho appts or seeing old friends from there or running local errands all day. I work every friday night & then spend the wknds with James. Im such a busy bee. Anyway, the excuses stop here. Im hoping to get atleast 2 posts in this week (getting my ass out of bed in time to do a full face of makeup, lately I've just been doing my face routine & some mascara). This is supose to be a makeup/beauty blog so Im going to really start focusing on that along with some OOTD's here & there & of course weightloss updates or posts related to weightloss/health/fitness. Those seem to be fairly popular. This is my last week working such a full schedule, so soon I'll have a bit more time to focus on keeping this blog alive!
