Lazy Girls Guide to the Gym #2

Hello! This is my second post on my gym journey, I hope you enjoy it, if you've stumbled across this post and want to read the first; check it out here! This week I've managed to go to the gym twice, this may only seem like a small amount but both times I pushed my self to do something which put me out of my comfort zone. 
Missguided Active


In our gym the weights room is an age from everything else, you also have to get a code to get in to the weights room. I normally refer to this room as the 'The Big Boy Gym'. However on Saturday I took the plunge to enter the room. Now I did go with my boyfriend, who confidently told me it would be empty. It wasn't. It was full. But I stayed in there as long as I could possibly take, even when some annoying bloke left his weight thing for over 10 minutes and then told me to get off so he could finish his set (inside I wanted to run away from the big boy gym and cry). 
Getting out of the big boy gym proved a mission. I had to press a button and then open one of the double doors. The first attempt I didn't even press the button and helplessly rattled the door, whilst my boyfriend was shouting 'press the button'. The next problem was once i had pressed the button I pulled the wrong door. Which again led to my boyfriend shouting 'the other door you idiot'. Something tells me I won't be entering that room for a little while or at least until I fully understand how to get out!

The next achievement which Im really pleased about is.. I went to the gym by myself! I hate going in to gyms alone as in my head I feel like everyone there is judging what you do, how you do it and how long you do it for. In reality these people don't care what you're doing but anyway I get extremely self conscience about it. But I lasted about 40 minutes and did everything I needed to do. I also learnt that a sports bra is a necessity as I have could quite easily knocked myself out with my boobs and the full length mirror in front of the running machine did me no favours in terms of boobs flying everywhere! 

This week, I'm hoping to try and get to the gym 3 times, Enter the weight room again, and go at least once by myself to get used to it. 

Have you got any gym goals? Let me know in the comment box below or tweet me at @ohhsorosie. Also check out my Instagram (ohhsorosie) to see why I get up to in the gym!

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
