 I have a busy busy day today so I thought I would share a few of my favorites at the moment.

I am so excited to start in my new position at Old Navy. I love this company so much. Everyone I work with is like family.

Books Books Books

Before we start talking about Books, I would like to share some news with everyone!

 I just wanted to start off saying SORRY I have been away from the blog world recently. I have wanted to blog so much but have been incredibly busy. I have been working two jobs, trying to fit sleep and working out in there somehow. I feel that I will be able to blog more because.... I got promoted at one of my jobs! So that means I don't have to work two jobs anymore!!

 Now on to BOOKS. I am not a huge reader. I really have to get into a book at the beginning  and love it to be able to get all the way through the book. There were a few books in highschool that I loved. One of the books that I enjoyed in highschool was "And Then There Were None." If you have not read this book it is GREAT. I loved the Agatha Christie books in highschool. So if you like murder mystery books, Agatha Christie's books are for you.

I have a few books on my To- Read List. I will share a few of them with you .

1. The Hunger Games Series. 

I have not yet started them. I need to get reading and finish at least the first one before the movie comes out. My little sister is and avid reader and LOVED these books she read them all and said they were amazing. She is the one that told me that I needed to read them. So this is number 1. ( and 2 & 3 ) on my list to read.

2. Maze Runner Series.

I heard from a friend that these books are amazing also. I heard that if you like Hunger Games, you will enjoy the Maze Runner Trilogy. I have not yet read these books yet. I am going to start these after Hunger Games

 

3. Red Queen Series. 

I have head a few things about this series. I am not sure exactly what they are about but they are on my list for sure.

The last series is one that I have not read and I don't think I will because it is typically not the type of books I lean toward if  and when I read books.

Vampire Academy

I bought this book series for my little sister that LOVES to read. She loved the Twilight series and this is obviously about vampires, so I thought she might enjoy it. I gave her these for her 16th birthday. Not even two weeks later she had read all six books and said she loved them and she could not put them down. 

Are you a reader? What types of books do you like to read? If you have read any books lately and would like to share them , I would love to add them to my To- Read List!

Healthy Habits

 I just wanted to start a little segment called "Healthy Habits". I am starting to work out more and slowly change my diet around. So I will post different things here that I find useful and Healthy!

• My first one is NO POP. I have started recently trying NOT to drink many soft drinks. I have not had one in over 3 weeks. It may not seem like a long time for some but for me it is Major!!

• Drink LOTS of water. I am not a huge lover of just plain water... unless I am working out. So, I add Crystal Light to my water bottles. I have fallen in love with the Crystal Light Peach Tea. It is AMAZING!!

•      I simply can't cut chocolate out of my diet. I love it too much . So I found a lovely substitution that has only 110 calories for the bars and 120 calories for the clusters. These are now my go to snack when I am in the mood for some chocolate. My favorite are the dark chocolate clusters! YUM 

 Workout Tips and Hints

 If you can't make it to the gym or do not have the extra money to spend on a gym membership here are a few tricks you can use at home.

• Elevated Pushups- put your feet on your couch and your hands on the floor and do elevated push-up.
• If you have resistance bands- place them under your feet and do squats on the couch. It will make you not cheat and go low enough- make sure your butt hits the couch.
• Put the resistance band around the leg of your couch and do flyaways. ( see video)
• Tricep work out using your couch. (see video)

 Just a little inspiration for the weekend!! Have a great weekend and comment on your favorite at home workouts!!
