Fast-Blasting 5 Minute Workouts!


Hey guys!! 


Today I wanted to share with you two great and super quick workouts...because who has time to workout?! ;) Well now you do. These two routines are only FIVE MINUTES! But they get the job done. Win-win. Now, enough talk. Select one (or both if you're feeling brave) and get that metabolism burning! 




Now try this one! ;)


Love,

Why Being Single is Awesome!! As Told by GIF's

My Friends! Thank you for stopping by!

Today is an irregular post, albeit still awesome. It has recently come to my attention that there are some out there who dislike that they are single (Obviously not me....)

Do you ever feel like this?





I mean, if I were a guy...



I mean, I'd like to think this:



And if someone doesn't feel the same way,



I will admit that sometimes it would be nice to be dating, but there's no point in whining about it, because let's be real - no one likes to listen to that. Sorry peeps. Best embrace the suck!



Ah, being single....












Some may see it as a burden, but I see it as an opportunity.

To do/have the following:


1. Shaving your legs - optional. 


I'm just being real. No one will ever know except you.

2. Freedom


That's right, travel the world. You can go wherever, whenever. Wanna go teach English in Thailand?? Now's the perfect time to travel!

3. You can be weird and no one will judge you.


Good question Jen, I would also like to know. 

4. Flirt all you want girl.

If you disregarded number 1, your chances may be better. But if you just wear pants all the time, you'll be fine. Go ahead, raise them eyebrows. 


5. You got time fo yo friends!



Among other things you should be spending your time on, your friends are the ones who should be there for you no matter what. When you're single, you got mo time to appreciate em.

6. Them Dollas


Dating is costly. Dates, gifts, spending more money on how you look (you can't wear sweats forever...unless your single!) - these things all add up. Think of all the money you're saving just by not dating!

7. Time

This is underrated I think. You shouldn't be afraid to be alone. Being alone makes you think more. You get to know yourself and you can grow. Find out what really makes you happy (because despite popular belief, being with someone doesn't automatically make you happier).


Or work on some dance moves.

8. Stress Less


Unfortunately in most relationships there will be times of disagreement. What you spend money on, how you act, or being annoyed by the other person. Being single, all those problems cease to exist, making you less stressed.


So my friends, spread your wings and fly! Enjoy being single! Bask in it's benefits, because you won't be single forever! ;)

Peace and Blessings.

    Mother's Day: They Don't Waste Their Breath


    Today is Mother's Day! I love my mom so much. She is such an amazing person with a really good heart. She is a wonderful example to me. Plus sometimes she's hilarious.


    Like that one time she wore my snapback. Seriously she's the best. I am really lucky to have her as my Mom. 


    Something people may not know about me is that I have two Moms! In a way, I feel grateful and happy that I have an angel in heaven watching over me plus one here on earth. Just so it's out of the way, my mom passed away when I was 3 from breast cancer. I didn't get to spend much time with her sadly, but it just makes me so excited to see her again later. I know it's no mistake that I have two moms, and I feel really blessed to have so much love from them both. 



    So I just want to say happy mothers day to all the women in my life! That includes my mothers, second mothers (i.e. Mamma Behr), aunts, friends, church leaders, and to all the other inspirational women in my life - regardless if you have children or not

    And since you stopped by, here's a list of 20 Things Our Mother's Told Us When We Were Younger That We Should've Listened To. You should really check it out!

    Sending lots of love,

    Lo

    Summer Bucket List Part 1

    Something that I've been thinking about recently is what makes me happy and fulfilled. And I found out a big part of that is goals and doing things I've always wanted to try - not that they have to be really big things (like skydiving...still yet to be done!) but either way, that is what makes me happy and content with my life.

    Tone It Up came out with the idea of a #createyoursummer bucket list. So I got to it. I put it on Instagram, but could only fit like 5 or 6 things in the picture.

    Side Note: a fun fact about me is that I love lists! I love putting all my ideas down and being able to organize and check them off....at least ideally - I won't talk about how little much actually gets done off them usually. But anyway! Naturally a summer bucket list is the best idea. It's the ultimate Try-It-Tuesday! ;)

    So here it is in (almost) all it's glory. My 51 item summer bucket list [I left 2 out ;)] :

    1. Road Trip
                                 

    2. Skinny Dipping
                      

    3. Campfire and S'mores
        

    4. Outdoor Amusement Park (which makes me wish I lived in Utah by Lagoon - seriously so fun!)
                                                   

    5. Camping
                                                      

    6. Sparklers on Canada Day
                                 

    7. Beach Day - Sandcastle making is a must.
                       

    8. Concert
                     


    Backstreet Boys: Check


    9. Half Marathon - *SeaWheeze*
          

    10. Boating on the lake....anyone have a boat?? I'll make you cookies!
           
    Plus I've always wanted to learn to wakeboard! So seriously...someone let me know if you have a boat!

    11. Pool Party
                                 
    How sweet would it be to put glowsticks in the bottom of a pool!?

    15. Buy flowers for someone else
