Spring Time Makeup Tutorial

I have a love-hate relationship with Spring. I love all of the colors in nature, the fashion prints, and the beauty must-haves, but I hate that it starts to get hot. Granted it has only been a high of 67 today, it normally is quite warm. As I was attempting to get into the mood of Spring, I decided to test out this makeup look in hopes of changing my attitude towards the season. I like how the look turned out for the most part. My skin was pretty dry so the makeup set a little weird on my skin but besides that, I think it turned out pretty well! 

I used a variety of fun, bright colors in my makeup look!

Things I Love: Spring Skirts

I'm obsessed with brightly colored skirts for spring! I love that skirts can be casual or you can dress them up for a romantic date night! All of the skirts I love would be perfect for Easter! 

Which skirt is your favorite?

What color are you loving for spring? 

Splurge and Save

For this splurge and save post, I wanted to give you a simple look that you could wear for Easter! Being that it's spring as well, I wanted to create a look that gave off a fresh vibe! The splurge look costs almost $1000. That is crazy! Granted these looks will work great for Easter, spring, and all summer, but that's just too much! The save look barely tops $100. Now that's much better! 

Splurge: Shorts - $160 Top - $625 Sandals - $198

Save: Shorts - $19 Top - $38 Sandals - $49

Things I Love: Bandeau Swimsuits

In terms of swimsuit fashion, there's nothing I love more than a bandeau! I've pulled together my four favorite bandeau swimsuits, in spring time colors of course, just in time for spring break! Swimsuits are an essential item on anyones spring break packing list, and you have to bring plenty! If you need some inspiration for swimsuit season, check out my "Get Fit Recipes" and "Get Fit Workouts" to motivate you into getting swimsuit ready!

Get Fit Workout: Ballet

I love ballet. Even though I danced for almost 11 years, I never got a chance to do ballet! I was always into jazz and then competition teams doing jazz, kick, hip hop, and pom. Ballet is such an intense workout for such a beautiful art form! I found this Ballet workout on youtube that shows you the workout done by Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr. Of course I'm going to do this if it does that to her body! 

I suggest watching the video in its entirety first. They show you the moves, but the video is only 4.5 minutes long, so it's not a full workout. This one takes self-discipline and motivation to continue the workout on your own. But trust me, you will feel the burn!

Do you do Ballet? Do you use it as a workout?

Get Fit Workout: Kickboxing

As I mentioned in my "Get Fit Tip: Alternate Your Workouts" post, kickboxing is one of my favorite workouts! I love to do a good round of this when I'm stressed. Kickboxing is such a good cardio workout and is great for toning your muscles too! Although my favorite kickboxing workout is Kickboxing for Dummies, (more info in the post above) I found this great beginners workout on Youtube! This low impact workout out by FitnessBlender is a great way to test the waters of kickboxing! They also have a great printable routine link to the video as well!

This video is less than 10 minutes, so it's perfect for a quick workout in the morning or at night! If you go to the FitnessBlender website, there are many more workouts, exercises, and articles that are all very helpful to creating a workout routine! Working out and exercising, regardless of what type you do, does wonders for the body. Remember to never over exert yourself. Always work at a pace that your comfortable with, but try to push yourself in a way that will only make you stronger, not hurt.
