Jillian Michaels Killer Buns & Thighs DVD Review

I absolutely had to tell you about this DVD, Jillian Michaels Killer Buns & Thighs .  I have been working out to this video since mid May 2013.  I am absolutely obsessed.  I am not one to stick to workout videos.  I usually get bored, sometimes it's not what I expected and sometimes I just have no desire to stick with it.  This video is so different for me.  It makes me want to workout every day.  I can't wait for the next day to workout again.

I love it simply because of the results that Ive seen every time I workout.  The first week or so I did not see results but I felt it.  Then after that, I would see my lower body getting more tone.  That is exactly what I was looking for.  In the beginning of the year I made a resolution to get more tone.  I usually make resolutions and never keep them, but every year I always make them.  This year, I really feel like I am achieving it.  I can't tell you happy and proud I am of myself.  It feels so good and I really enjoy working out to it.


There are 3 levels to this video.  Level one is a lighter workout but definitely gets you in some shape.  I'm on level 2 now and it feels amazing.  Just to look at my lower body and see amazing results is inspiring.  I have level 3 but I haven't worked out to it yet.  It looks intense and I can't wait to actually start that level.  I do suggest really mastering each level before making the move to the next level.  Your body will thank you.  So many people have asked me what I am doing differently because my legs look better.  What a great feeling for people to ask me that.  My thighs feel tighter, so do my hamstrings.  My back side feels much more in shape.  Also, I have lost 2 pounds since I started working out to this video.  Losing weight was not my concern, merely getting more tone  So losing 2 pounds was just a bonus.  I've been eating the same as always.


Another plus is that this video is not long.  It's about 45 min in total, including warm up and cool down.  The actual workout is 30 min.  I love that fact about it.  I can totally fit it in my schedule.


FYI: Right now my workout consists of working out to Jillian Michaels Killer Buns & Thighs, then working on my upper body with stretch bands.

I highly recommend it.  Workout- Feel Great-See results with this video!

My Hair Care Routine

I have been loving my hair care routine and I wanted to share it.  My hair has been so healthy lately.  I have naturally curly ringlet hair.  I wear my hair naturally curly at times and also blown out.  Here are the products I use when I wear it one way or the other.

Curly:
Loreal Evercurl Shampoo and Conditioner- Love that it's sulfate free!
Loreal Evercurl gel-  Keeps my curls in shape, no frizz and it's not crunchy.  (I love this gel)
Then I just let it air dry


Blown Out:
Loreal Evercurl Shampoo and Conditioner
Paul Mitchell super skinny serum- Applied to wet hair.
Then I use a hair dryer and the most amazing brush ever.  This brush is seriously the best thing for de-frizzing my curls when I blow out my hair.  I tend to like big chunky curls and this brush delivers with added smoothness to my hair.  Simply amazing.

Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener Review

Today I would like to do a review on  Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener.

I was at Lord and Taylor a couple of weeks ago and decided to get some new makeup tips from the Bobbi Brown makeup artist.  First, let me start off by saying she was so kind and sweet.  She did not push product sales on me in anyway.  I simply asked her if she had time to help me improve my look.  I went there when they first opened at 10am and she was more than happy to help. I learned some new makeup tips and learned about some of Bobbi Brown products.  I did make a purchase and it was the Bobbi Brown  tinted eye  brightener in Bisque shade.  This product really seemed to look very nice on me.   

Let me state that I don't have dark eye circles, just some slight shading under my eyes.  Not really a big deal but when slightly covered up my eyes look much better. 

Here are my thoughts.
Very lightweight- not thick at all and does not cake up.
Blends in very nicely to my under eye area.
Color was very flattering on my skin and best of all it really did make my eyes look more awake
Staying power was great.
 I really like this product and I'm happy I purchased it.  I definitely recommend it.

BOBBI BROWN Tinted Eye Brightener in Bisque shade

Just a little side note:  I try to use all natural products whenever I can as long as they really work and are great products.  I have not found an all natural concealer or eye brightener that I really like.  For me, it's all about making clean changes whenever possible.
