GREAT Brush, Horrible Delivery

By Beauty Santiago from Brooklyn, NY on 7/12/2011

 

4out of 5

Pros: Functional, Easy To Use, Soft Bristles, Great Design

Cons: Loose ferrule

Best Uses: Everyday

Describe Yourself: Trendy Style

I LOOOVEE this brush for stippling on my liquid foundation and buffing it out, mines doesn't shed at all. I would easily give this brush 5 stars if only the ferrule hadn't broke away from the handle and had to be glued back on, also the delivery was way to long (took ELF 5 days just to process the order and then another 5 days for me to actually get it). But still this is 1 of my favorite brushes, I have 6 of 'em :)

P90X - DAY 2

Day 2 and the workout was Plyometrics "The Mother Of All P90X Workout", sheeesh, I'm still wiping the sweat off my brow :). 

This was an absolute killer, I started off OK (probably because it was only the warm up I was doing, lol) but then all the jumping came into play and I was no more good. Although I didn't finish the entire workout (I stopped 15 minutes before it was over), I'm proud of myself because I kept going despite the fact that I wanted to stop almost as soon as the actual workout started. I have faith I'll have better luck next time :)

Breakfast: Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats w/ skim milk
Snack 1: 1 Sargento String Cheese
Lunch: Campbell's Chunky Beef Stew
Snack 2: Dannon Peach "Fruit On The Bottom" Yogurt
Dinner: Salmon cakes w/ brown rice
Snack 3: 7 raw baby carrots

*I ONLY drink water*

P90X - DAY 1

So today was the "official" start of my diet and exercise program....I'M STARVING! Lol :D

I started the P90X exercise program today, day 1 is "Chest & Back"....OMFG! It was hell for me, I was exhausted damn near before the workout even started. I haven't done a actual push-up in sooooo long (if ever) I'm more in tune with the "girl" push-ups (which is what I ended up doing because I wasn't stong enough to do them otherwise). I didn't finish the whole workout, I skipped the 2nd round of exercises and I TRIED my best at that "Ab Ripper X" sh!t. Although I didn't finish the entire workout I figure *there's always tomorrow :)* and its certainly more than I did yesterday....

Although I was surprised at how hard this workout was for me I'm not at all discouraged, I'm doing this for me and I'm gonna stick with it (for now, anyway).....I have a loonnnnggg way to go with the fitness and I have an equally long road to travel on the diet side of this journey. But as I said "There's Always Tomorrow :)" and I'm sure what I ate today is worlds better than all the crap I had yesterday.

Breakfast: 2 Packs of Quaker Blueberries 'n Cream Instant Oatmeal w/ 1 cup of whole milk
Snack 1: 1 Sargento String Cheese
Lunch: Chef Boyardee Ravioli
Snack 2: 1 Bag of French Onion SunChips
Dinner: "Taco Salad" (my version)
-taco meat (ground beef, water and taco seasoning) on a bed of lettuce & tomatoes and topped with  shredded cheese and salsa
Snack 3: 5 Shredded Wheat Biscuits

*Told ya'll I have a LONNNNNNNGGG way to go, LOL, stick around ;)!
