Mememe Boho balm

Hey guys so during the summer the very nice Nathalie at RDCommunications sent me out  a sample of the Boho balm from Mememe cosmetics.  
This is gorgeous in its floral tin, but even prettier on your cheeks and lips, MeMeMe’s Boho Balm is a cheek-lip combo, comprising two blendable colours to instantly brighten lips and cheeks.
 
Enriched with jojoba oil, the colour is both moisturising and buildable, allowing you to achieve a sheer, illuminating effect or deeper flush of colour. 
Available in two divine shades - Coral Taupe or Pink Rouge – both colours are designed to be interchangeable and can be worn on cheeks and lips.
I was lucky enough to receive my sample in the shade Pink Rouge which is absolutely beautiful.

I was lucky enough to receive my sample in the shade Pink Rouge which is absolutely beautiful. I used it mainly on my cheeks because to be honest my lips are typically very dry. I find it hard to get lip/cheek combos to work on my lips without going 'bitty'  but this is down to my lips and not the product. I found when used lightly as a blush it gave a very natural flush which you can build to good strong colour without it going clumpy or dirty looking. I absolutely love this little guy...so much product in it too I'm using it almost daily and have barely made a dent in it. It is priced at €7.99 which is fantastic value as essentially you are getting a 4 in1 product. 2 shades that you can use on lips or cheeks ...highly recommend it xx
Mememe cosmetics are available in selected  pharmacies nationwide

OMG...I've lost a stone!!!!! with Slimways

Hey guys ,so those of you following my fitness journey with slimways will know i have been attending their S.A.L.T workouts for the past 5 weeks.
I weighed myself on Thursday morning and OMG....i have lost 1 stone...that's 14lbs.!!!
For me this is huge because for ages i had been at a plateau where no matter what i did with my diet no more weight was coming off. The fact that I have lost 14 lbs is amazing but not only that I am so much more toned and I can really see the definition in my upper arms and thighs which i never had before.
It is very exciting for me and something I could not have achieved with the guys and girls at slimways.
I have so far lost the following.... 14lbs in weight, 3 inches off my belly,1 inch off each thigh, 1/2 inch off upper arms I have also gone down a full dress size. Happy Days!!!!

 Thank you so much to everyone who is helping me achieve this.I am so happy i want to go down there and hug each and everyone of my trainers!!!
Stay tuned for the next update with more pics xx

Slimways Journey ...UPDATE after 4 weeks

Hi guys, so as you know if you follow me on facebook I have been attending Slimways for the last 4 weeks. This has been a long time coming because if  I am totally honest I haven't been happy with my body for a long time.
I had 2 pregnancies back to back..both of which were very difficult pregnancies and after delivery I started to comfort eat. This was something I couldn't do during pregnancy as I suffered badly with Hyperemisis Gravidarum which meant I lost 3 stone while pregnant. This quickly piled back on after birth along with some extra lbs which led me to where I was a month ago.
I was the biggest I had ever been and I was not happy. I had finally reached a point where I needed to make some changes and this is where slimways comes into it.
As I mentioned in a previous blog they do Slimways Assembly Line Training (S.A.L.T)  which incorporates  High Intensity Interval Training (HIITS)
This is a new concept for aerobic exercise classes. This is a new facility with a fresh approach. It’s a full 60 minute class with a proven program of cardio, strength, spin and stretching, so it is suitable for women of all shapes, sizes and ages. There is no choice, you have to do it all, in one hour – four studios, four trainers and four different workouts, 12 minutes of High Intensity Interval Training (4 x HIITS) in each studio. It’s a complete workout and it’s different every time you come as the combination of trainers and classes is constantly changing.
I absolutely love this idea...I hate the gym I hate the idea of an hour looking at the same face making me do something I don't enjoy and pushing me for 60 mins. That doesn't happen at Slimways. You are in 4 different rooms for 15 mins with different trainers. For me this is a huge thing as i really push myself because its only 15 mins. However even though its ONLY 15 mins you really feel it ..I frequently leave each room feeling half dead yet get rejuvenated in the next room by a fresh workout. It turns out I actually love spinning and the weights ..who knew??
 My worst room is room one which is cardio,mainly because i have no coordination....I also cant jump. YES you read the correctly..I cannot put my two feet together and jump up onto a step,I don't know why but this white woman cant jump.
I am working on it though. I also couldn't plank when I started now I can and you know I'm bloody proud of myself. Am I grace full and coordinated....HELL NO... but am I doing it and giving it my all.....HELL YES.
If I can do this guys seriously anyone can...and I for one am telling everyone I know all about this program

                                           Before I started                After 2 weeks

                                         

                                           Before I started                After 4 weeks

I am delighted with the changes in my body after such a short space of time and the muscle tone and definition i am seeing already especially in my legs is unreal and very exciting for me as i never had it before.
