Wishlist #1: The oversized scarf

Hey there,

Today I’d like to talk to you about oversized scarves, first because it’s one of the very few items on my shopping list for my next capsule (winter), and second because they’re super stylish.

A couple of years ago, we started to see them on stores, and I kind of wanted to buy one, because they’re so damn cozy and beautiful, but I ended up buying a bunch of other stuff I didn’t need. But not this year! By this winter I’ll have a super cozy and fluffy oversized scarf. Here are some pics with ideas of patterns, colors and how to wear them.

Sunday food ideas #1

Hello there,

I hope you’re enjoying your weekend as much as I am. Today I decided to start a new segment of this blog, every Sunday I’ll be basically sharing some ideas that I’ve adopted/had to make your food tastier/healthier and cool healthy recipes too.

Ok with that being said, today I’ll give you a very simple idea: pumpkin rice. Basically when you make rice, join some pumpkin, cut it un cubes and let it boil with the rice. It’s delicious and it doesn’t take much work, you just have to cut it and join and it doesn’t take more time to boil than the rice.

Workouts to try

Hey there friends!

Today I’d like to talk to you about some workouts I’ve tried in the past, and also make some recommendations.

Almost every fitness journey begins with the desire of losing weight, which is pretty common among women (you know beauty standards and all that society pressure). Now I recommend that you don’t enter this kind of journey until you attain a good degree of self-acceptance, this might sound kind of mean, but the truth is until you accept yourself and understand your own humanity, it’ll be very difficult to cope with failure – and trust me everyone fails, occasionally. I must point out that probably most of the great lessons I’ve learned in life came with failure. In conclusion: it’s fine if you aren’t perfect at exercising/eating clean everyday, and that’s something that you should embrace, because good things come with this attitude.

Anyways, exercising and moving is always good for everyone, so even if you aren’t at that point yet you should definitly try these out:

1. Hip hop abs – Fat burning cardio

This is one of my faves when it comes to cardio. I wish this was untrue, but I’m not the biggest running fan, I find it a bit boring after some time. It would make my life much easier if I enjoyed running, seriously.
With that being said I just had to find some alternative, and dancing hip hop with sassy Shaun T is pretty cool and motivating (that dude is really good at motivating).
So if you like this idea to implement cardio in your routine you can watch the vídeo here.

2. Jillian Michaels: Banish Fat Boost Metabolism Complete Workout

This one is tough (it is Jillian Michaels, to be fair). It’s longer too, but it has great advantages since you basically work all of your body in this. I would recommend this to someone who’s already active, because enduring a 1 hour workout and one that’s this demanding, you’re definitly going to feel it in you’re every move… the next day (that will happen even if you’re active, tho). It’s great for weightloss purposes, since it has a very nice mixture of cardio moves with bodyweight.
So you know, if you wanna get your butt kicked by Jillian be my guest.

And let me just say that the beFit channel is an awesome source of good weightloss workouts, I’ll be reviewing more in the future, for sure.
3. Darebee – 30 days of cardio blast
I’ve told you before that I’m following this one at the moment too, but I already did it before, when I began my journey in April. However since I’m very rusty after a long pause, I’m doing it again because persistence.
It’s a nice program, but I don’t recommend it solo. I mean if you’re not active it’s fine, but if you want something more challenging it’s not really enough, and doing 10 sets of the same thing (the highest level) gets pretty boring. Nonetheless, it has a great advantage: variety, meaning you never do the same thing for 30 days, and that’s great.
If you want to start this program you can check it here (I’m currently on day 6).
