Debs 2015 and my First Youtube Video.

Hey Guys!
So on Wednesday I went to my first Debs with a few of my friends. The Leaving Certs were ever so kind to invite the 5th years along to their Debs and after twisting my mams arm I was finally allowed to go. OH MY GOD IT WAS AMAZING!!
I headed into town at about 4 o'clock and met up with Helen and Angelica who both looked amazing in their dresses and we got a few pictures taken (seen below).




After all the pictures and chatting to a few people it was time to crowd onto the bus and begin of journey to Carrick-On-Shannon (a.k.a. me and mums favourite place). We were having a meal in the Landmark hotel which was actually quite exciting for me. I have literally ate in every place in Carrick apart from the Landmark. We all had a laugh with each other and I literally could not ask for a better night.

After the meal and a few awards been handed out to the Laving Certs it was time to head into the nightclub. This is when the real party started. I had such an amazing time and I could not have asked for better people to be around that night, the laughing was never ending.
Anyway we headed home at about 3am and I was soooooooooo damn happy to see my bed!!!


Okay so here's the best part of this blog post... MY FIRST EVER YOUTUBE VIDEO!! What?!
I cannot believe I have finally ventured into the world of Youtube and I am super excited to do so. It took a lot of consideration to start this as I have received negative comments towards my blogging in the past but I feel I am a stronger person now. So here it goes; Video editing and writing is definitely the path I want to take when I head off to college and I feel this will help me towards my future career. I have such a passion for editing videos and just editorial work in particular. I am aware there may be comments whether they be positive or negative but I feel I can take them head on and continue doing what I love for me!

So here it is my first youtube video!!!

Exercises For The Summer Months

Hey Guys!
So since the summer months have kicked in I've been getting back into my fitness, as I now have the time to do so. So I thought I would show you guys some of my favourite exercises for toning up and of those jiggly bits!!

Obviously cardio is like a major detail you cant leave out of a workout. I like to go for a walk/jog 3-5 times a week and I only go for a half an hour. You can swim or cycle also. 
Then when I come home I get straight into the toning, so here is the list of what I do:

1/ Squats with Dumbbells
Basically use dumbbells with a weight of 8-10 pounds in each hand and squat as usual. I do this 15-20 time for 3 reps.

2/ Donkey Kicks
Start on all fours. Keep your right knee on the ground and slowly lift your leg off the floor and towards the ceiling. Hold for one count and return to your starting position. I normally do 18-20 donkey kicks on each leg for one rep.

3/ Pilé
This move isn't just for ballerinas. Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart. The just squat and hold for 2-3 counts. I do 15-20 of these for one rep.

4/ Standard Crunch
Lie on your back with your legs slightly bent, feet on the floor and arms crossed over your chest. Then lift your shoulder blades off the ground. I do 20 crunches for one rep.

5/ Cross Mountain Climbers
Begin in a pushup position and bring your left leg over to the right and twist your body with your leg. I do 15 for one rep.

Honestly it doesnt look like I do a lot but it works wonders!
Have you any workout tips?

Until Next Time
