EN: Hello Bananas! Well I haven't done one of these in a while simple because even though I started the year kinda well, started to workout but slowly the motivation was soon gone, which in a way is very common among people that make promises like "Next year I'm going to start working out and loose weight!" and a lot of people do start but then they quit, which was my case.
I guess for me it was more due to the fact that some things weren't going well in my private life so working out was the last thing in my mind.
So I've been working out On and Off for the last few weeks but I'm kicking myself in the butt and hopefully this time around I will stay in focus.
Do you guys workout? What's your tips and advices?
Hello Bananas! In case you missed my post regarding this subject, one of my new years resolution was to start working out to get a bit fit. If you would like to read more about this you can check out my previous post [here].
So today I will just share some more youtube fitness channels that I've been following.
Hello everyone. Today's post is a bit different than usual I suppose. Have you ever made a New Year's Resolution? I don't think I ever had, so this year I decided to make one and it is to workout!
I bit of a background story for you, I haven't worked out since 2005 - my last year in High School - since then the only workout that I've done is when I have to run to catch the bus, or I'm late to go somewhere, or when I go out at night and dance for like 4 hours. That's all folks! One of the reasons I also never bothered to workout was because during the years from 2005 till 2008 I lost in total, about 8 kilos due to stress and I felt like if I worked out I would eventually disappear. Then from 2009 till 2011 I maintained my 50/51 Kilos because it was when I started to live abroad and I didn't have mommy's food around soo yeeaahhh.
2012 was the year that everything changed, while living in London like my cousin likes to put it "You eat with the fat, you are gonna get fat" (lol), so I gain like 3 kilos and I only noticed when certain jeans wouldn't close properly -_- and then I became aware of my eating habits I noticed that my food portions had increased specially at dinner time. Since I left London in June I have no idea what's my weight situation also because my scale at home is damaged.
Okei enough rambling now, let's go to the point of this post. Since this last Summer I started watching some fitness videos on Youtube, initially "just for entertainment" since I'm a Youtube addict but after a few months of watching those videos I started thinking "Huumm... maybe... I should start... working out."
So since I can't afford to go to the gym, working out at home is the next best thing and next to that is to get tips right of the Internet for free.
I was going to do just one post about this subject but I decided to make more since I follow a few channels, this post would end up being extremely long. So today I will share two of my favourite Fitness channels on Youtube.

I'm a big fan of
Fashion Blogs. But better than just seeing the outfit of the day, I
love DIYs (Do It Yourself) and tips in how to dress according to your
body type, or how to pull of a certain look. I'm 1,60/1m and there
are certain looks that taller slimmer girls manage to pull of that I
can't. Like outfits that include a lot of mixed patterns, I see a
tall girl wearing it, and I'm like “WOW and if I try to do the
same is more of a “WTF! Did you just role out of bed and role on
some clothes that were on your floor Karen?”. Basically the taller
you are the “more space” you have to put more stuff on you. I like layering!
A style that I like is
the “Less is More” style. Like you just wear 2 basic colours, not
much jewellery not much make up and still look perfect and light and
fresh, if I do that, I feel like I look so BORING! Another style that
I like is like total black outfits! Black is one of my favourite
colours, and if I wear a total black look, I might look like someone
with no sense of style and boring, so I admire some girls that I able
to pull off a total black look. I guess mixing different texture
pieces, which I still learning about it.
I'm still trying to
figure out things that look best on me. I'm not a ONE style girl, I
like to change all the time, today I'm girly, tomorrow I'm rocker,
the day after street style I don't know.
Anyways Today I wanted
to share you one of my Favourite Youtubers. Her name is Chriselle
Lim. I “met” Chriselle trought another Youtuber Super Star
Michelle Phan she's a Make up Guru on Youtube. Michelle did like a
video with the help of Chriselle, about some tips with accessories or
something, later on she became a frequent on Michelle's channel and
then people start to request for Chriselle to create her own channel.
Here are some of her
videos that I like. I hope you enjoy them too and learn a thing or
two!
Embracing,
Loving, & Styling Your Own Body! - This is Defo a GOOD video!
Last month/year (lol) I did a brief post about the Bloggers, Youtubers and viewers lunch gathering at a Shopping Mall called C.C.Colombo in Lisbon.
It was lots of fun, meeting new people and get to see others again.
I went to Lisbon with Akuma Kanji, we both live in the same town, we took the train, and in the train I was still finishing with my makeup and some other details lol. I was going to do a topcoat on my nails, but I didn't have time... and then I found out that my nailpolish bottle that was on my lap, was not 100% well closed, and some drops fell on my favourite tights and on my "leather" skirt , plus I forgot to bring with me any type of jewlery (ring, bracelet, necklace, earings) aahhhh bolox!
Anyways once we arrive to Colombo, I spotted the girls close to the massive Christmas tree that they had there at the time, after we waited for a while for everybody we searched for a spot so we could gather tables, so that we could sit all together. We talked, ate our lunch (each person could go to different restaurants), talked some more, and then did the Secret Friend wich was the swap of gifts.
Olá todos (sim estou a escrever em português, sim é raro, sim é estranho para mim também haha), no sábado passado eu e a Akuma Kanji fomos a um almoço de Bloggers, Youtubers e leitores, no Centro Comercial do Colombo e depois do almoço houve uma troca de prendas, tipo amigo secreto, eu recebi um colar.
Eu esta semana estarei pela casa da minha tia, mas quando voltar para casa depois faço upload das fotos que eu tirei e do video que eu filmei :P.
Foi divertido rever algumas caras, que eu conheci no mês passado no Sleek MakeUp Focus Group, e conhecer alguma novas :)
