Dear August: An Experiment and Zaggora Hot Pants

Posted on 09:39 by tripal h
In 89 days I hit thirty, which means that I have 89 days to slim down so that I can fit into the dress that I have bought for that very occasion. So August, I could really do with your support, because I don't know about anyone else, but I always find that sunshine motivates me to keep active. Therefore, I'm going to stay hopeful that you August will be the best opportunity for me to do the biggest bulk of my weight loss.

I know, I know - it's a lot of pressure on you. But, I have faith in you, even if other people don't.

So, as luck would have it, a couple of weeks ago, I was approached by a company called Zaggora, who -
for those who haven't heard the buzz around them - sell hot pants that are designed to help the wearer lose weight. Well, they're not really hot pants - as such - more leggings, really.

I have to be honest and say that I was incredibly sceptical of them, and have gone in to trying them with what I hope is quite an open mind, because although I have my doubts, I really want them to work. I think I want them to work since I have so many inches to lose, but I'm not going to expect too much.

On first impressions, they are a lot more comfortable than I expected them to be. This was surprising, because having measured myself I was actually on the verge of a XL and XXL, so since I'm attempting to lose weight, I opted for the smaller of the two sizes.

The only issue that I've had with the leggings has been that I don't feel that they are long enough in the body. I know that a lot of girls, these days, like trousers etc to sit on the hips, but for me hipster-type trousers and leggings, have a habit of just falling down. That is, of course, the exact experience that I've had with these. I am hoping that once I lose a bit more in terms of inches around the hips, they will (hopefully) fit me a bit better!

I'll do a fuller review in a couple of weeks, when I've had a better opportunity to try them out, but hopefully they'll help me to lose some inches :)

For me, losing weight - now - isn't about being "thin", because I have been never been "thin", instead it's about getting healthy

So August, I'm counting on you to stay nice and sunny (but not too hot) so that you can keep me motivated!!

2013: Year of the Weight Loss

Posted on 04:45 by tripal h
For me, 2012 will pretty much be the year that I finally stopped biting my nails. Admittedly, at the minute most of my nails are relatively short in length, but it's nice to know that they're not like that because I bit them, but rather because they broke!!

Kicking the nail biting habit has always been a big issue since...well, since I started biting my nails at around the age of six. However, accomplishing it has really helped to motivate me to tackle another habit that I want to get rid of, and that is my unhealthy addiction to junk food. I know that I can get my act together, so this time I'm confident that I'm going to do it.

Some of you might already know this, but at the beginning of last week, I had a bit of a health scare that really shook me up. Although I've been assured that it wasn't - at all - as a result of my weight, I've still found that the reality of spending seven hours sat in A&E not being able to breathe properly, was enough of a shake up to get me to lose weight serious-style!

I've actually spent the last week, recovering at my parents' where my Mum has had me on a very high vegetable, fruit and soup diet. I did slip up on Saturday, when I ventured into town, when I bought a Shapers packet of Chocolate and Caramel Popcorn, but I'm not going to beat myself up about it, because I've been using an app that tells me what I need to do to burn off those excess (bad) calories, and hence I spent ten minutes burning them off intensely on my Stepper!

So far, I've lost about seven pounds and my Mum thinks that you can tell I've lost a little weight around my middle, which is great. I'm certainly feeling less bloated, and I'm not suffering any of the illnesses that I typically get from binge eating on incredibly bad snacks.

I've also noticed that when I had some Strawberry Fruit Flakes over the weekend, I found them to be far too sweet, so hopefully that is going to help kick the sugar addiction, because I'm pretty much the same with salt. My Mum cut out salt when I was in my teens, meaning that I never use it either and now there are some foods that I just can't eat because I find them to be far too salty, which is of course another thing I need to avoid.

So, that's a brief catch up on my current life events.

I hope that everyone else's New Years have gotten off to a good start :)

Thoughtful Thursday: 22.11.2012 (just!)

Posted on 15:45 by tripal h
Hi, my name's Kat and I used to blog here pretty frequently....yeah, so it's been a bit quiet over here recently, and I'm not going to beat about the bush - I have seriously lost my beauty blogging mojo. You know how when you do something for so long, you just get sick of it, especially when it is also your job? Don't get me wrong, I love writing and blogging about beauty, but when I'm doing it for my job, it sort of feels like I'm bringing my job home with me, and it got to a stage where I was just spending all of my time doing beauty stuff. So, I subconsciously took a break from doing it, putting my efforts into my work and a couple of other blogs that you might want to check out - yeah, I'm plugging ;)

First, there is Entertained, and then there is my writing blog.

It's been nice to put a bit of focus onto other areas that I'm passionate about and I'm loving working on the entertainment blog with my other half.

I've also had the setback of being without a camera recently, and with Christmas coming up work and life are about to get even more busy, so I guess I'm just here to warn you that I'm probably not going to be around much until the end of the year.

Buuuut, I promise that I have so much to share. Now that I have long nails *touch wood* I'm really into doing my nails, and I'm currently obsessed with Barry M's Magnetic Polishes, which a lovely lady introduced me to. So, I have lots of Nails of the Days planned and I'll pop a few up if and when I get chance to.

So, to show you guys that I still love you, and I haven't forgotten about you. here's a great Thoughtful Thursday so that you don't forget me ;)

And no, that is definitely not me in my underwear...I don't have the confidence!!!

Beautiful World: The Sea

Posted on 14:48 by tripal h
I have to admit that I'm not really a huge lover of beaches. I've never been on a "beach" holiday, and to be honest, it's never really appealed. I hate the feeling of sand between my toes, and I can think of a load of other ways I'd rather be spending my holiday doing, than sat on a beach - maybe I'm weird, I dunno.

But, it's true that there is always something so incredibly alluring about the Sea. I mean, look at the image below...what's not to love about it?


Source: takeheart-sweetheart.tumblr.com via leni on Pinterest


There's something so calming, and serene about the sea. Just sitting and listening to it gently lapping on the sand, or watching it clap ferociously against rocks. It's mesmerising, beautiful and at times scary, all at the same time.

On a recent holiday to Wales, I spent my final day paddling in the sea at Black Rock Sands, something that I've not done since I was a very young age, and I have a feeling that the last time I paddled was ironically on that beach. In a way, the sea has always scared me a little, because even though it can be so peaceful, there's also that knowledge of the sheer power the sea has. A power that can destroy as much as it can cleanse.

It's not that I've avoided paddling, as such, but I will confess that those hours spent walking along, jumping over waves and splashing around have to have been the most carefree fun I've had in a long time. I felt truly happy and completely at peace with myself and everything around me.  It's like nothing else in the world mattered, and it was an incredibly "freeing" feeling.

I've certainly gained a renewed appreciation for the sea and its mysteries.

Do you have fond memories of time at the Sea? 
Where is the most beautiful Sea that you've ever seen.

The Wherever Workout App Review

Posted on 09:18 by tripal h
App: The Wherever Workout
Platform: Android
Cost: Free (at time of writing)

The Idea: 

The basic idea behind this app is to offer workouts that you can quite literally do anywhere, whether you are at home, at the office, in a hotel or have limited space. It's certainly a nice idea, and the app offers workouts in the following categories:

  • Office Workout
  • Hotel Workout
  • Minutes to Spare Anywhere
  • Airplane Workout
  • Some Equipment Workout

During each workout you have the option to have a voice tell you what the next position or workout will be, and how long you have to do it. Or, if you don't want a voice, you can have beeps. 

Each specific position or movement comes with an image and explanation, however this comes to be a bit of a pain because sometimes I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing, so I've had to pause the workout to read the instructions, which gets to be a bit annoying. I'd also like the images to be replaced with a video or animation perhaps, just to enforce the idea that I'm doing it properly.



Each category features a variety of different workouts with varying durations and fitness levels, so are they any good? Most of them are excellent. I personally have been enjoying doing the Good Morning and Good Night Bed Stretches under the Hotel Workout section. I'm one of those unfortunate souls who struggles to get out of bed in the morning, and I've found the Good Morning Bed Stretch to be amazing motivation, because it starts off with exercises that you do lying down, before sitting over the edge of your bed, and finally standing up. I like the gradual movement that it takes you to get out of bed, and I've found that really helpful.

I love that you only do exercises for a short period of time, because it doesn't get boring.

The Bad: My biggest issue with this app, however, is the fact that some of the exercises really aren't appropriate for the category they're in. For example, lifting your legs up at the knees whilst on an aircraft isn't exactly discreet, and I have visions of the guy sitting next to me looking at me as if I'm crazy (he's probably right, but that's beside the point). 

In the office, unless you are working from home is marching in place really that practical? How about Plank Hold on Knees?  Or, Side Planks, or Toe Taps? I mean, seriously, who is going to get up and do that in the office, even during their lunch hour? 

The exercises aren't really fit for "everywhere" really.

Overall: It's a nice app to start out with, but eventually it becomes repetitive and boring. I think that it needs more workouts, and more thought to be put into the types of exercise that people can - realistically - do in certain situations. I think that maybe differentiating between Home Office and Work Office might be ideal. However, if we're talking about a Home Office, I don't know about anyone else but I'm quite happy to get up and do a proper workout. When I was working an office, in a previous life, I don't think that I would have gotten away with anything more than the Desk Stretches to loosen the neck and wrists as well as increasing blood flow in the legs and feet.

Do you use apps to help you keep fit? 
Do you think they help?

Getting Back on Track

Posted on 09:29 by tripal h
It's pretty fair to say that my Workout Regime, alongside posts on this blog, has been really lax recently. In fact, I haven't done much of one in months, which is really bad and as a result I've put on weight again. Fortunately, it doesn't appear to have gone up too much (currently only three pounds heavier than I was at my last blogging weigh-on, but that's lower than it has been, so I'm happy to be getting it down again).

Time for Change

So, the other day I was watching an episode of Deal or No Deal (as ya do!), and I was inspired by the contestant (who eventually got a bit too greedy, didn't accept an amazing offer of £60,000 and went home with just 1p!!) who had turned her life around by losing weight. I don't know exactly how much weight she lost, but it gave me a little nudge to let me remember what I'm aiming for, which is the big 3-0! I still have over a year to go, but the longer I leave it, the harder the challenge gets.

Source: soon2befit.tumblr.com via Kirby on Pinterest

I started thinking about the success that I'd had with my 30 Day Workout Challenge on this very blog. The motivation from being reminded by my own blog posts, to do a work out was amazing, and I really wanted to do that again. But, I don't really want to bog my blog down yet again, doing that. I thought about setting my alarm to remind me to do a work out, but then I sat and thought: but what would I actually do? And that is when I grasped my problem:

I never know what kind of work out to do, I end up doing things randomly and my brain gets bored and thus I stop doing anything at all. And if I'm honest, the idea of setting up the TV and PS2 every time I want to do a workout just seems like too much hassle. It's the same principle as to why I'm more likely to play a game on my PSP than on the PS2!! I want something that I can use right here, right now, where ever I am at that very moment, without having to go into a specific area, if that makes sense.

What to Do...??


I've tried using fitness and weight loss apps on my Android phone in the past, but all they've ever done for me is count the number of calories in my food (well, it actually asks me to input how many calories there are for it, and if it doesn't know, then how am I supposed to??), and track my work outs.

Source: weheartit.com via Aina on Pinterest


What I need is something that tells me exactly what to do. Okay, so maybe this makes me sound like a little kid, but I think that it's guidance that I'm looking for. I have the motivation, now show me the path to take kind of thing!

So, I've been downloading and testing out a few work out apps and hopefully I'll love them enough to review them for you guys on here. I've been playing around with a couple of them for a week now, and I've managed to keep up every day doing a minimum of 15 minutes to start with, so I'm feeling really positive about stuff.

Stay positive and beautiful people ;)

Positive Beauty: Dove's Self Esteem Programme

Posted on 03:49 by tripal h
Over the weekend, I saw an advert on TV that really made me stop and think. In fact, the advert made me feel a little bit emotional. The advert was for Dove, and I don't think that I could possibly explain it to you, because this is a classic case of you have to see it for yourself:



The advert is part of Dove's Self-Esteem programme which is aiming to donate £250,000 into educating young people about self-esteem. And, personally, I think that the programme is an excellent idea. 

I remember watching an Extreme Parenting programme with Super Nanny Jo Frost a while back, where she was talking to some very young Primary School age girls who were already far too aware of body image for my liking, to the point that they honestly (at that young age) believed that anyone who was "fat" would never find love. To know that we live in a world where thoughts like that are being planted so young is sad, and I honestly think that opinion and thought patterns need to change. Not only in attitudes towards ourselves, but also in attitudes towards each other.

Take this image of the stunning Jennifer Lawrence, that I used in a recent Makeup in Film post:



I really can't believe that we live in a world where someone who looks like this, with that amazingly curvy figure, that I would absolutely kill for, is being told, by the media (essentially male critics, I might add!) that she was "too fat" to play Katniss. For such an argument to have come to light, at all, is just ridiculous no matter how you choose to argue about it (too well fed for District 12 appears to be the main one, but we won't go into that one right here!). The point is that here is a beautiful young woman who is being criticised over something relating to the person that she is, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with how she looks.

Whether you believe in God, Mother Nature or your Gene Pool, every single one of us has been created differently, and I personally wouldn't want it any other way. We're unique no matter how fat, or thin we are, or even what colour our skin is. Our bodies are as different as our personal tastes, and we should strive to be whatever we were created to be. Some of us were made to have hour glass figures, whilst others were made to be apple or pear. We all have freckles and marks that are part of who we are, but they don't define us. Our actions are what define us, and I honestly hope that we can be the generation that encourages our children, and future children, to realise how beautiful they already are.



Note: I was not asked to write this post, and I am most certainly not being paid for it. Anyone who has read my Positive Beauty posts will know how passionate I am about endorsing anything that encourages girls, of all ages, to realise that they are beautiful, no matter what anyone tells them.

Positive Beauty 30-Day Fitness Challenge: Day Who Knows!!!???

Posted on 11:21 by tripal h
Hi Ladies. So, I realised this afternoon that it's erm...quite some time since I'm done a Positive Beauty Challenge, and I am definitely not going to lie, I haven't been keeping up with it. And, I really have not got a clue what Day we're on, although I'm fairly certain that the 30 days is probably over by now, right? Yeah, I've been a bad Kat, and I will accept my punishment!!

Source: commons.wikimedia.org via Christy on Pinterest


So, I've been thinking about carrying the challenge on, but in a more personal way. I don't want to keep clogging up my blog, with posts for fitness every single day, but I do want to get back into the habit of doing my daily workout, in sort of the same way that I was with the Challenge.

Some people might have seen me talking about this a few weeks ago, but I had thought about continuing the challenge using another method, and well, I really wanted to know if anyone else would be interested in taking part? I'm toying with the idea of setting up an email list where everyone on the list will receive a daily workout to motivate them.

Honestly, if no one would be interested, I'll probably set up the email thing for myself, to send out motivational emails, because I really need them, so if anyone wants to be added to it, then I'm more than happy to add people to the email list.

If people are interested, I'll look into putting a button in the sidebar so that people can add themselves to the list :)

I'd really love to hear your thoughts on this, so huge thanks in advance.

Positive Beauty 30-Day Fitness Challenge: Day Twenty Two

Posted on 09:23 by tripal h
Hey ladies, just a quick note that there won't be a normal blog post today. Basically, my flat's roof appears to be leaking with two wet patches springing up in my hall way, and above my bed (of all places), hence today has been spent racing around in a paranoid attempt at removing things that would be damaged if large amounts of water came through the ceiling! I know I'm probably over-reacting, but honestly, if I could move my bed from underneath the wet patch, I really would!!

I'm going to be honest and confess that I probably won't be doing the challenge today because I'm all worked and I'm currently awaiting the Handyman to see what's what with regards my roof! But, for anyone who wants to take part in the last stretch of the challenge, here ya go:
