Words for myself- 'Get Fit! Don't Quit!'


After more than 1 month I don't do proper abs workout (doesn't mean I skip all the exercise kay) and eat many processed foods due to the work loads, presentation stuff etc... I'm becoming lazy to do abs workout. But FITNESS IS A LIFESTYLE WITH NO FINISH LINE. 
So I'm going to start back my blog, clean eating, more abs workout. I Believe that if I don't give up, one day when I look back, I will be glad that I didn't give up :)

Life is about one choice, give up or get up... I would like to pick GET UP! 



I'm glad that the line still there :D


Morning workout that i usually do at home before i go to school:
- Russian twist 
- Sit up
- Reverse crunch

ingredient in face products because of its incredible tightening effects. So, while this mask
 is meant to brighten your complexion, it will also tighten it, revealing a more youthful you!
What You’ll Need:
1/2 Cup ground organic coffee beans (you can grind your own or buy pre-ground)
1/2 Cup organic, unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Cup of unsweetened whole milk

1 Tbsp of honey (for extra oily or acne prone skin, use additional lemon juice here instead of honey)
Bowl
Benefits of the Ingredients:
Coffee Beans – Reduces inflammation and redness, and the appearance of under eye circles. 
As an exfoliator, removes dead skin and “wakes up” a tired complexion.
Cocoa Powder – A good source of antioxidants; repairs damage due to environmental 
pollutants and free radicals. Contains high levels of sulfur (great for fighting acne).
Milk – It is said that Cleopatra bathed in milk to give her skin a healthy glow.
