Went for my first dress fitting this morning and I was terrified to say the least. It’s not just the obvious worry about the gown fitting properly, but it’s also that I’ve spent the last few months gathering all the accessories separately. Today was the first time I saw it all come together and I’m so happy to report that everything matches! Not that I ever really doubted my vision 😉 Somehow I’ve gained weight in my bust (I mean, really?!) but I’m hoping to be able to calm that back down before the big day. Other than that, everything looks and feels great, can’t wait to put it all on again next month!
Is there anything worse than gross feet? I think NOT! And tis’ the season to sport those gorgeous summer sandals, so it’s important to make sure your exposed feet are just as cute as your footwear. I’ve personally inherited really dry and cracked heels (thanks mom) and was even lectured at my last salon pedicure about the state of my skin. We’re at the point where just moisturizing won’t cut it. Plus, who can afford to constantly be going to the salon?! Not this girl. Thank goodness for Dr. Scholls Express Pedi for a little at home smoothing treatment. This little wonder gets rid of that unwanted dry skin and makes a home pedicure super simple. Scroll down for a mini how-to and a chance to win an Express Pedi for yourself!
Running was never my favourite activity growing up. It’s probably thanks to the remnants of traumatizing ‘Fitness Fridays’ where my school crush would laugh as he out lapped me. Now that I’m an adult, I know how to run with asthma. A sporadic 5k just doesn’t work for me. It takes time and effort to build my lungs up to be in shape enough for longer distance jogs. And I’ve since learned to love running. That feeling when your feet hit the pavement, the wind blowing past you as you dash towards you objectives. Sometimes I can’t help but run with a giant smile on my face just because it feels THAT amazing!
In celebration of adidas runmore.ca, a platform for urban runners to step their game up, I thought I’d share some things that I do to stay focused. On those days when running feels rather stale, or it seems like staying in bed > everything, I use these 5 motivators to help get my butt outside!
