A Lazy Girl's Guide to the Gym #3

This is my 3rd week of making an effort to go to the gym, last week my aim was to attend the gym 3 times this week. I failed. Now ok I have a good reason! I actually own only 1 pair of 'gym wear' and whilst I could have organised my washing machine plan slightly better, my gym wear did not get the treat of 3 washes this week, and my worst fear is being smelly, so as I had no clean gym wear,  I didn't go the 3rd time.

However on a positive I am now competent on a running machine, and the fears of me falling off the things are slowly diminishing. I do thoroughly enjoy you tubing people who fall off running machines, but it would not be funny if this happened to me, I would never return to a gym again.

I have been doing a number of arm exercises, which are surprisingly satisfying. I did some shoulder presses, and a load of other stuff which I'm not entirely sure of the names of the exercises as my boyfriend was just telling me what to do. Handy for you reading I know.

The second time I went to the gym this week, I lasted about 35 minutes, it just wasn't happening for me, my commute home from work, took an age, I had to walk tot he gym in heat in a 100% polyester dress, so when I arrived at the gym I already felt like I had done a work out.

On to other things I am looking for new gym wear so I can increase the amount of times I go to the gym without relying on the washing machine. If anyone has any recommended brands that would be most welcome.

If any of you want to see or read anything specific please do let me know, as I would love to know your thoughts. You can contact me through twitter @OhhSoRosie, leave a comment on my Instagram @ohhsorosie or comment below!

Thanks Dolls!

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer Review

Image
Charlotte Tilbury is a brand that I absolutely love. However not being near to a store can sometimes make me a little hesitant to purchase online. The products I have managed to pick up in store are 100% keepers in the makeup bag. Both the Magic Foundation and the Light Wonder Foundations are products that I think are fantastic - ended up with shade 3 for both foundations. Although my magic foundation is pretty much empty now.  However you’re all here to read a review on the New Magic Away Concealer*. Concealers are products I just forget to invest in. I am literally that girl that rushes into boots a week before payday to pick up something ‘that’ll do’. So it is definitely nice to try something that hasn't been picked up in my lunch break.  First off the packaging – all packaging from CT if fabulous, it definitely gives off 1920s vibes. There is a window to view how much of the product is left – a handy feature if you don’t mind me saying. I also love the little

I was literally half way through doing my 'What I got for Christmas' when my best nine for Instagram was ready, once uploaded I was like ah isn't that nice my top liked pictures of 2015. Then I thought, I'm guna talk you through these pictures, cuz why the hell not?! 2015 bestnine  Top Left: These sandals I bought in an attempt to cheer myself up after a bit of an argument with my boyfriend, they were in the sale which made me happy.

Every year we try and make the biggest and best birthday cake we possibly can! It tasted lush and was mana

Holiday Outfits Part 1

Image
Holiday look books. Do people even like these? For those of you who dont know I took a late holiday to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to catch some rays! I wouldn't say this was a complete look book because I didn't document every single item of clothing I wore. But I do have a handful of outfits which I loved wearing and putting together. This will probably feature over 2 or 3 posts just so it isn't a heavy read!  First Up ....Swimwear!! The bikini. Yes it's similar to the Triangl bikinis which rocked my Instagram newsfeed for the majority of last summer, I think the colour and style is fun and laid back. This bikini came from Missguided and in terms of fit I was really surprised. Normally I struggle with sizing and I very apprehensively bought a size 10, normally the top part is far to small for me. But a massive thumbs up to Missguided and myself for fitting into the bikini top perfectly! There was also a gorgeous baby blue and peach bikini identical to this which I
