Which Gem Are You? Finding your gem personality

Taking time to look within yourself can really help the way you comminicate with others and help you simply understand yourself a little bit better. 

 

Gems are a great way to begin to define your parsonality type.  Remember, like attracts like....so you may find that many of your friends or people you love working with have a similar gem typs as you.

 

Which gem type are you?

 

Through my weightloss transformation, I feel like my gem type (mainly Saphire with a little pearl mixed in) has been magnified.  Before I was silly and perky, but I kept more to myself.  Now I am outgoing and I seem to let my personality shine more. Weightloss hasn't just changed me physically, it's allowed me to overcome my fears and be ME unapologetically.  Do I have days where I sink back into my shell and feel self-concious?  Of course...I'm a work in progress.

 

BUT I'm happy to so those days seem fewer and farther between and time passes. 

So....which gem personality are you?  Share in the comments below.  ~Kendra~

How to wear your favorite MLB baseball hat with style

Since I live in Texas, I've choosen to style this adorable, satin Texas Rangers MLB hat.  I love that the satin adds a little girlie-ness to it, don't you? 

 

 

Baseball season in Texas is all about keeping cool, relaxing at the baseball stadium, cheering on the home team and having fun in the sun, BUT just because the sun is scorching doesn't mean we can't still be stylish. There are tons of different MLB Hats out there to fit with tons of different outfit options....you know I love having tons of different accessory options!! ;-)

 

Here's how I would style my Texas Ranger Hat for a fun day out with my hubby doing our usual Saturday thing....breakfast at a hole-in-the-wall place, taking the pups for a walk around our neighborhood and maybe some shopping or a movie matinee. Remember, baseball hats aren't just for baseball games. ;-)

Progress isn't just about the number of the scale!!

I was looking through my progress pictures after taking some pictures in my new bikini and found some back from September 2014.  I put them side by side with my new pics.  No....my body hasn't changed a ton, BUT

-I feel more confident (always a work in progress)

-I have NOT back slid or lost sight of my goals

- I may not have reached my final goals, but I am still pushing...and hey, that is something to be proud of.

I'm excited to see where my journey takes me by September 2015 and you can be sure that I'll be documenting it all along the way on this little ole' blob, because I love having a place to share what's going on. 

What are some of your non-scale victories?  Share below!! ~Kendra

DIY Tummy Wrap

So several of my friends are in to wrapping and I wanted to see what all the hype was about.  Now before we get started I will say, things like this are NOT for weight loss or health purpose....I feel like it really just rids your tummy of access water weight and tightens a bit for special events.  I doubt it's a lasting result, BUT it's fun to give things a shot. ;-)

What you'll need:
-Bentonite Clay
-Firming lotion (any brand)
-Saran wrap
-a makeup bruse of small paint brush
-A tummy wrap or exercise wrap

So I took some Bentonite Clay and some firming lotion and mixed them in a Dixie cup.

Then I simply applied the mixture to both my tummy and arms with a clean makeup brush.  

Once the areas were coated, I wrap them in saran wrap.  I also added a tummy wrap on top of the saran wrap over my tummy to make sure it stayed in place. 

I slept with all the wraps on & put a sweatshirt over it to make sure the wraps on my arms stayed in place.

(From left to right: Before pic, all wrapped and then the after)

I could definatelty see and feel a difference in my tummy & it was a fun little experiment.  Have you ever tried wrapping your tummy?  How'd it go?

21 Day Fix- Starting A New Round

Just started a new round of the 21 Day Fix workouts and I've done 4 days so far. ((It's Day 5 now.))

Gosh, I LOVE this program-->>  It's challenging, fun and GETS you results in JUST 21 days.  It's crazy!

Here's how it's going so far:

Day One-> Worked out on the patio in our backyard on a rare non-rainy morning.  The rain has been coming down nonstop in Texas this year.  So weird!!

Day Two- Lucked out with another patio workout.  Don't you love it when the workouts so tough that the cool down is such a relief. :-)

Day Three- Had to move my workout in doors.  Worked my arms & my legs were so sore I felt like I was waddling all day. haha

Day Four- My little, teeny baby abs sure did feel the burn....plus I had a lovely little cough that gave me an extra reminder of their soreness every 5 seconds.  Good times!
