walking backwards

7.18.2013

hey, it's gym time!
the song i chose for this post's title is relevant because at the gym,
i always spend at least 30 minutes on the treadmill.
i read a study once saying walking backwards is a good way to 
relax your calve muscle,
therefore reducing the size of it,
all while creating a nice tone muscle.


walking backwards
by leagues.
hear it here.

"i've been taken by a new emotion, i've been walking backwards"
nike gear are essential for me at the gym!
i used to go to the gym wearing a t-shirt and gym shorts.
but now i go in style.
my theory is, if you go looking cute,
you'll feel more motivated + confident to work your ass off.

in this post:
nike - dri fit - sports bra
nike - free runs 5.0

to be honest i'm the least gym-type girl in the world
so wish me luck!

Faux Height - Trick Used By Celebrities

3.10.2013

 How to Fake Height Without Wearing Heels
Let me introduce you to the beauty of heel insoles!

Ever wonder how some celebs look taller then they actually are? Well, here's the secret! Male and Females use it a like. And its actually pretty affordable and comfortable! Crazy right?

I mean its so perfect because you can't always where heels, they simply tend to be on the more uncomfortable and over dress side of things, plus cute Doc Martens or even warm UGGs are sometimes more preferable then a stiletto! That's when this baby comes in.

Its pretty self explanatory, you buy the insole. Stick them in your shoes, and BAM you're taller. 
The downside though is you have to usually up one shoe size to actually have them fit comfortably, but hey its really worth it! 






I purchased these in Hong Kong, but I'm pretty sure you can get them a lot of places, but to make your life easier, I have found a link for you, where you can get one online! 

Its not the same as the one I have, but they're cheaper!
