how many, how long challenge

so i wanted to do something to keep myself interested, and also to show my progress, i decided to keep my progress noted, to look back on, to show how far people can come when they put there mind to something. so i came up with the how many, how long challenge. 

so basically I'm gonna do certain exercises in the space of a minute to see how many i can do. I'm also going to set a stop watch to see how long i can do them for. therefore its called the how many, how long challenge.

this was suppose to be tuesdays workout, but i some how hurt my neck, ive been applying deep heat and it seems alot better so im getting back into it. the workouts this week will be pretty simple, warming up your muscles, preparing yourself for the times to come.

these kinds of workouts are good for busy mums or just busy people in general that wanna get a small amount of exercise in to your day. 

if you know anyone with a busy diary, that doesnt have time for the gym, or a full dvd workout. feel free to show them my workout plans.

p.s sorry for the late post, my internet is playing up, think it should be okay now though.

kisses, xoxo

boots buys

What I bought at Boots 

Because I'm going away on Saturday, I picked up some things from boots to take worth me. 

to start off with, I was so disappointed with the delivery service. I received my order a day late and all the lids to my mberto Giannini were smashed, it was hard to show since the lids are mirrored, but take me word for it. I'm probably not going to order online again. just a heads up! 

I picked up this clean on me shower gel by soap and glory, I love love love soap and glory products. There so moisturising and lovely, I'll always recommend them. this was £2.50 and as you can see its travel size. I also picked it up in a 3 for 2 offer. 

This daily smooth body butter is amazing, I had the full size a while back and never picked it up again. I got this to keep in my bag to use on my elbows and knees, because I'm going to be tanning so I want to be prepared, again this was £2.50. 

I use this to take off my eye make up, it just works really well and gets the job done. I think this was £1.50 but I got it free in the deal. 

Again this was just an essential that I needed more off. Nothing special just some cotton buds, I think these were about £1. 

I needed a deodorant to take with me so I just randomly picked this, ( It was like 50p).

There was a 2 for £8 deal on so i thought id try out some products from Umberto Giannini's range. I've used the conditioner once and it works nice, nothing special. It smells really good and makes your hair soft and fluffy, like any bog standard conditioner.

I always use baby powder as a dry shampoo, it works wonders! but I decided to give this a go. It's the Thickify Dry Shampoo from the incredible body collection. I still need to use this for a bit before I'm gonna give a review. 

Also from the incredible body collection I picked up the volume conditioner, just because I go through conditioner like mad and I can never have enough. 

I really needed a heat protectant, so I picked up this one. It makes my hair a little sticky I've seen, but I'm gonna use it up and I'll give a proper review later on.
