Congrats to fab skinny bish Joan Smalls!

She recently solidified her place as Estée Lauder’s new face for upcoming global campaigns. 

Job well done, Joan.  Such grace, such splendor –

This morning, in my quest for motivational stimuli, I came across a video wherein President Barack Obama was being interviewed by Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith.  Interesting, I thought to myself, this should shift the dynamics a bit and shed light on aspects not yet covered by mainstream journalists.

Discipline:  much needed.  

Video below:  motivational (vast understatement).

How does one become “excited” about exercise? Really, I’d like to know. With my gym only a few feet away, the only requirement is that I pop in the shower and jump into my gym clothes. Yet, it’s always such a painful ordeal. Initially, I figured – well, if I update my workout wardrobe I’ll feel better about it.

Wrong.

I’ve accepted that I’ll never be at the gym every day or even every week. I will, however, make it there at least once a month. My routine has been tweaked a bit: lunges, squats, elliptical. This usually lasts for a little less than an hour. Following each hour-long workout, I take a stroll on the beach and cool down before taking a refreshing shower – made even more delicious by my eucalyptus bath bar. Yum!

I haven’t been around for quite a while.  I wanted to mark the significance of this weekend’s efforts by making an entry.  I’ve taken a few steps towards becoming and remaining carefree amidst the madness called life.  I’ve made my home my oasis, the peaceful place I rest my head.  De-cluttering and reorganizing my vanity, bathroom vanities, and bookshelves has provided me with unbelievable peace of mind.  My mind has long been cluttered and my thoughts no longer danced freely; I quickly realized that this was due to my cluttered home.  This small change has led to me waking up with a smile and happily looking forward to popping over to my vanity in order to go through my “girly” routines.  Each weekend I reassess my body – buff my nails, change my polish, make sure my brows are in excellent shape.  I really enjoy being a woman; more so now, being that my sanctuary has gotten a mini facelift!

The sequel is here.  Rest assured, there are a lot of grins widening nationwide.  “Long awaited” is an understatement for some; this should cause quite a stir. 

Abu Dhabi?  Quite the twist…

I see Aidan’s reappeared…hmmm…..
….and is that Penelope?    Trod carefully Mr. Big ;]

 
Strap yourself in for a helluva ride! This should, at the very least, be a brow raising, mouth-gaping (*cue Samantha’s wild antics/quips, she never disappoints) good time!

Here’s a sneak peak:
