BLOG worthy WOD

Oh how I love to get tortured at Crossfit Fortress!

It's been a little while since my last post about Crossfit, but it has just gotten better over time. I love the camaraderie of my co-athletes!  I really appreciate how we all have become friends and when new people come in well... everyone is welcome :) We encourage each other to keep going and to push harder. Some are more advanced than others yet we all work together. There is no place like it. 

WE (7pm class) have an amazing Coach Brian who I appreciate his techniques and all the ways of teaching us all. It is vey simple and very clear. Every class I learn something new. No matter how many times I have done a move, I learn to improve it and be more efficient at each movement. 

Alright enough of that on to the WOD! 

Warm up: 

• mobility and a jog

Skill: 

• Kipping - I  have always missed this. I am always not there on the day of the Kipping technique. Not able to pull my self yet, but I have to keep at it and will soon enough be able to do one without a band. 

WOD: 

Happy Hump Day (I love the name he he he)

10 burpees
10 wall balls 20/14
10 KB swings 55/35
10 box jumps 30/24
10 HSPU
10 deadlifts (heavy!!!!! This should be close to 1 RM)

*Elimination style WOD* meaning once one round is done then we start over and remove the last step until we end up with only Burpees left

My time 17:59 min

all I know I felt incredibly over heated when I was done and know I worked hard. After my last Burpee I just rolled over to catch my breath and when I turned my head I notice a few others laying on the ground too :)

Amazingly hard WOD for me.

Purex Crystals New scent review and giveaway

NEW Purex Crystals Mountain Breeze scent is pretty amazing. I always use purex crystals in my wash. It leaves my laundry smelling so fresh and clean. Even after my work out my clothes still smell amazing. 

I have been purchasing Purex Crystals for what seems like forever. not only does it work to keep a long lasting scent, but it is a larger size and much cheaper thank the alternative that is on the market. 

You can also put a little bit and make a little pouch out of stockings or any material and use it in your drawers or even put in a bowl (as long as not pets or kids will get into it) and place it in the bathroom to have the scent permeate the room. I love that!

Check out the link below to the Purex Facebook page. They are always having giveaways.

Influenster #JollyVoxBox

I was so excited to find out about the Influenster JollyVoxBox.

Once I opened the box I was even happier. There were a few items I have yet to try or use. 

The first item and instead of saving the best for last I just have to share how happy this item made me when I say it. Some people don't feel so happy about a drug store product, but I have been wanting to try the New Rimmell Show off lip color in "Luna" It is a peachy color and very creamy. It is a mixture between a gloss and a liquid lipstick. You do need to re-apply, but that is to be expected for me. 

$4.99-$5.99 

Next from Duck Tape was a fun bright colored mini duck tape in blue and white. I actually want to save this and use to when I go on my next Mud Run. I always use Duck Tape to keep my shoes from falling off or getting sucked off in the mud. So this little surprise will be saved for my next special event. 

 

From Skinny Cow was a box of the divine filled chocolates which are only 130 calories per pack and can I say yummy. I have already purchased every flavor of skinny cow treats. My kids can eat a whole box in one sitting. I always have to hide them and give them out as treats.

$4.99+

NYC eyeshadow trio in Long Beach Sands has amazing pigment and blendability. For the price of $2.75 (Walmart) it is affordable to all. If you love a neutral like I do you should pick this up. 

Puffs Take along Tissues is fantastic to have on hand. Perfect for your purse, car, diaper bag and more. I am already a fan of puffs and have several boxes in my home. 

Would you like to join the Influenster Nation? request an invite from me and I will send you one or go to Influenster.com for more information.

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Vibrance Vitamins for Hair Growth

Vibrance Vitamins for Hair growth

First I would like to tell you a little about my hair. Although I have very long hair, it is somewhat fine and falls out heavily when I brush it. It is dry and damaged and I have split ends. It is frustrating and I am hoping to find the product to help prevent an increase in fall out. 

I have been taking this for nearly 2 weeks and although I may not notice much with my hair, probably since I see myself daily and it is hard to notice a difference on myself. I do notice my nails growing quickly. Usually any supplement for your hair will do the same for your nails. With that said I am going to continue taking this to see how well it works for my hair. 

The supplement comes in capsule form and there is no uncomfortable effects from it ie: burping or an aftertaste; for that I am thankful. I would definitely stop taking a supplement if I notice anything like that happening. It is also gentle enough on my stomach and I have not had any nausea either. I tend to get very nauseated after taking any vitamins. Eating a little food with it helps to prevent it.

Studio Gear Cosmetics CC cream review

Studio Gear Cosmetics CC Cream

Manufacturer Product description:

Hydrating CC Cream transforms and enhances your complexion in an incredibly light, smooth formula. This foundation simultaneously fights aging, retains moisture, and covers and treats blemishes with a non-oily, perfectly radiant finish.

Key Benefits:

• Prevents fine lines and wrinkles with collagen-building ingredients
• Restores skin elasticity by promoting moisture retention
• Brightens and illuminates skin with a non-oily, complete coverage application

The CC cream is white and changes color to match your complexion. There are 3 shades available

I used the shade in Natural. There a mini specs in the CC cream and while rubbing/applying the CC cream changes to match your skin tone.

Upon application it is very silky and hydrating. It has SPF 20 as well. I use this under my foundation and get to skip the moisturizer and sunscreen steps. I have been using this daily since I received it. 
I am someone who puts on makeup daily even if I am only staying at home. I have uneven skin tone and hyper pigmentation issues and of course some blemishes that are haunting me. 
On days I am going to just stay home, I have been just using this and it gives me a fair amount of coverage while evening my skin tone. However it is not full coverage or "complete coverage" as stated above, but it is good for me while home since I would normally put foundation on.  The picture to the right is without powder or concealer. 
PROS: 

• moisturizing
• long term benefits for skin
• comes in 3 shades

CONS: 

• stays moist on the skin for quite a while 
• needs a powder to set

Price: $34
Availability: Bloomingdales, Macy's, Dillard's, HSN and ULTA
