Monday Quick Pick

Hello!

Where have I been?

Well, this weekend I'm happy to report I became certified in both Spin and Kettlebell training. I had so much fun - an entire weekend doing what I love, with people who have similar interests. Today I'm incredibly sore, can barely walk up and down the stairs. Saturday I was on a Spin bike for 5 hours and yesterday was 5 hours of Kettlebell training. Both are excellent workouts and BOTH should only be done at most an hour a day.

I know many people are just beginning to hear about Kettlebells, if you have any questions feel free to ask. This is one of the best workouts for strength and weight loss, if you haven't given it a whirl I suggest you do.

Funny story though a woman was talking to me about how ridiculous it is that people come to work out with full makeup on. WTF?? Was she looking at me? I go NO WHERE without my lipstick on and since yesterday was kind of special, I had on the full works of foundation, waterproof liner, mascara, NARS Orgasm on my cheeks and lipstick. I thought it was funny. Maybe she was hinting to me that I'm silly for having the makeup on? I was tempted to tell her about this site and offer her a makeover. I guess that would have been rude. It's interesting that I stopped myself, usually I'm known to insert foot into mouth quite often.

The only downside of this weekend? I was too busy to hit Ulta and Target. I have a coupon for Ulta though and plan to shop today or tomorrow. I'm on the market for Easter basket items for the girls (Sally Hansen's nail stickers and Cover Girls stay forever lipsticks). For myself I'm going to pick up some NYC's liners.

I also want to buy MAC lipsticks in Pink Plaid and Hug Me. And Yu-Be body lotion.

OH, and Lancome's new Mineral Veil lipstick. I'm not sure of the shade, I've heard great things about all of them so I'll have to do the swatch test.

So many desires, only so much cash! I'm grateful for all the work other bloggers do because it helps inform my choices. That said, Product Girl, if you happen to read this, You ARE MISSED! Come back Product Girl!!

I'll report back here as to what I've liked and what's been a waste of cash.

OK. Off to shower and then Ulta. Report back here tomorrow for more reviews and an update on my Clean Eating. (Spoiler - so far, not so clean, but I'm not giving up!)
