How to : Nude Lips, Plum Liner and Other Pretty Things

So this may come as a shock to some of you, but I'm not really a make-up girl. Well that is, I'm not an all out make-up girl. I used to be, ask my sisters, and would not leave the house without putting my whole face on. But life and school catch up with you and NOBODY is going to be waking up like two hours earlier just to get all that done, so I gave it up and started getting comfortable in my own skin. It was a little hard at fist and I didn't start off by going cold turkey (I hang on to my foundation for so long) but with time, a lot of water and great face care practices I now leave my house with only moisturizer and lip balm(or Vaseline) on.

Okay back to the point of this blog, with all that said, I am not anti-makeup. Don't get me wrong, I still have to restrain myself when I walk past the Mac store in the mall like every other little girl and I get ll dolled up when I have the time or there's an occasion. This last week, I had plenty time, lol so I got my stuff out and played with my face. Right now I am absolutely obsessed with nudes, browns and all things natural looking. I actually spent some time googling what other girls are doing and watching a bunch of my favourite YouTubers talk about their everyday makeup routines. I prepped my face (really important step) and got to playing

Healthy life struggles

So I just left home with a positive mindset and feeling great about all the progress i made this vac losing weight and being healthy. Then BAM! Cape Town and all its temptation of junk food and unhealthy living. Just what I need right? Must. Find. Will. To. Go. On.

It's terrible. Especially living in the center of  Rondebosch (Student hub) with all the food thrown in my face. I literally step out the door and "oh hey girl, fries, burgers, shakes, ice cream cake?" And I'm just there like nooooooo! Get behind me Satan. loool. Then to make it worse, I've got all these food sites bookmarked and tasty on Facebook keeps throwing these delicious looking treats in my face.smh

How am I doing it you ask? Well....

Craves shake? Grabs water bottle.(throw some cucumber or lemon in it for a twist)
Craves ice cream? Grabs yogurt. (Strawberry all the way)
Craves fries? Grabs salad. (mhhh, lettuce, feta,chicken and avo has to be my fave!)
Craves cake? Grabs fruit.(thank God it's summer)

That and moving around with no/as little money as possible. Lol. I don't know how much longer I can hold out though. I'll indulge in a cheat day soon just to keep me going.

Oh and I'm going on a run tomorrow with my loves. Wish me luck with my first one for 2016.

How do you guys stay on your healthy life journey? Please let me know!
