APRIL GOALS 2015   Every month I am going to try to create goals for myself. This way I can share them with you to not only remind myself but give you guys something to put as your month goal.   1. Clean my closet...This is a very long and overdue process. I needs to be done. I need to clean out what I don't wear and don't want anymore, make room for new purchases, and clean my shoes area.   2. Eat healthier. I want April to by my month to get on top of my fitness and really pursue my goals for exercising and food. Eating healthier is defiantly on the top of my list.   3. Enjoy the warm weather. As spring finally arrives, I want to get outside and enjoy it before summer comes. Summer's are so hectic so I want to enjoy the peace and quiet.   4. Shop for Spring and Summer. There are a lot of clothing items that I want to purchase, as well as new makeup, new décor, new everything. I'm setting a limit for myself, and I will be doing a post on this lat

  ITS FRIDAY....GET MOTIVATED   Happy Friday to you all! TGIF! I'm so ready for the weekend.   Here is today's post, all about my fitness routine for Fridays. They are a special day, so its a special day in the fitness routine. Lets begin.   Usually every other Friday I take some sort of exercising class examples like Zumba, Hip Hop, spin class, or Kick Boxing. Love them all but this Friday was a day at the gym to really get a good workout.   First : Cardio...hate it but you need it. I run for about 30 minutes as fast as I can. Second : Core. I ALWAYS make sure to do core on every Friday whether I take a class or not. I spend about 20 minutes on core. Third : Stretching, I like to take 15 minutes to give a great stretch to muscles, since they go through a lot of wear and tear throughout the week. Fourth : At my gym they have hot yoga every Friday and this Friday I decided to give it a whirl, and guess what...I loved it! It made me feel so amazing.

Today I am sharing a styling type post on how you can wear one piece of clothing three different ways to create three different looks.   Your favorite mint cardigan.   One : Pair with skinny jeans, leather boots\cowboy boots, a white tank or shirt, and you have created look 1!   Two: Use same skinny jeans roll them at the bottom two times, pair with your favorite flats, and the cardigan. Your set for look two! Here is what I mean for rolling your skinnies Three : For the final outfit choice, I recommend a nice pair of flare jeans, and some booties to complete the look. This is a bit more casual but still cute!     I love all these looks. Great ways to pair with your favorite cardigan.   Have a great day!   XO   Disclaimer : I do not own this images, no copyright intended.   contactsoutherncityd@gmail.com

Now that its officially spring, maybe not outside yet...but we can start changing into spring season. My favorite part of spring is changing up your makeup looks from winter, adding pops of color to your lips or lids. Makeup is the easiest to change in my opinion. You can go right out to the drugstore and buy a $5 dollar lipstick, or maybe spoil yourself with a higher end or brand product. Simply you can tell yourself because I CAN spoil myself once in a while.   Each year I try to create a new signature look for me. Sometimes its the latest trend for spring or maybe something that I want to create on my own.   Last year, the look I went for was to branch out on my lip color choices. I am usually a nude and light pink type of girl, so I went to Sephora and looked for colors that I would wear and to try out.   I came out with bright coral\orange lipsticks. I enjoyed trying out new things, but as for this year I want to try the DEWY skin\Fresh face for spring.   I l
