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

Birthday Haul

I'm only getting around to this post now, even though my birthday was almost 2 weeks ago. I had all my posts scheduled  up to now so here we are! Some of the stuff I bought out of the money I was given haven't arrived yet and the shoes my mam got me are on their way now!

From my uncle:
My amazing uncle/godfather gave me a lot of money to spend as I please and I did just that. I have been wanting the Real Techniques Starter Kit after getting the Core Collection a year ago. I have only used the kit once on a night out and I love it and the brushes are so soft. I also picked up a couple of Nyx products, also wanting these since they came to Ireland. I got two of their lipliners because I've never actually owned a lipliner before. I also go their eyebrow kit in Brunette and the Liquid Illuminator. I even have money to spare after buying all this!

From my brother and his girlfriend:
My brother and his girlfriend got me loads! They got me nail art from the P.S Love range in primark, Bows for you hair which I have wanted for ages, ever since I seen Bethany Mota's DIY hair bows and frilly socks... YES FRILLY SOCKS. I cannot wait to wear these because they are so pretty and girly! They also got me the Zoella Fizz Bar, which smells so soapy and sweet and a Vaseline Lip Balm which I had before but I had ran out. The final thing they got me was the brown bag (pictured in the back). I am not quite sure where they got this but I love it.

From my auntie, uncle and cousin:
 My auntie and uncle got me the necklace on the left which has an 'S' on it, for Sarah obviously. They also gave me €50 to spend and I have ordered stuff off of BooHoo which is on the way. My cousin got me a packet of earrings pictured above on the right.

From my nanny and granddad:
My Nanny and Granddad got me and Primark gift voucher with €50 on it and so far I have got two tank tops for €3 each.

From my uncles partner:
 My uncles partner, Pamela got me this gorgeous bag from Forever 21. I'm the type of girl that wears greys, blacks and whites and this bag definitely goes with everything I wear. The second thing is the Lip Smackers!! I have been bringing one to school each day and when I put them on, I have to try not to eat them because they smell divine!!!

Mother:
My mam got me Nike Air Force 1's and they only came this morning and I am in love. I even asked her if it was possible to marry shoes... She said no but I still love them *heart eye emoji*!! 

I love everything I got for my birthday and I can't thank my family enough for everything!
