Yay for Yoga!!

Hey folks! It’s still Yoga month. And I am still excited about learning new Yoga moves. This week’s yoga pose is the Cat Pose.  The Cat Pose strengthens the muscles in the back and abs while toning the arms. This pose also increases circulation of the spinal fluid and gently massages the digestive organs [source].

This is the Cat Pose

In this video Robin Downes explains exactly how to perform this pose

Natural hair styles

Just a few pics of some natural hairstyles.

Lunch Attire

Today I had a great day. I went to work, did a little shopping, then joined my friends for lunch. This is what I wore toady. It was a beautiful day so I figured a nice spaghetti strap dress would be cool and relaxed. The dress is a black base with colorful computer specs all over. I purchased this dress from Ross and I got my shoes from Kmart.

 

National Yoga month!

September is national yoga month. Yoga month is a campaign to teach people about the health benefits of performing yoga and to help people create healthier lifestyles by incorporating yoga into their daily routines. I have done yoga and I personally have seen the impact that it made on my sense of well-being and my stress levels. Research has shown yoga to benefit people in the following ways:

• Lowering blood pressure
• Decreasing stress levels
• Increasing flexibility
• Weight loss

For National Yoga Month I want to introduce a yoga pose to you guys at the beginning of the week. My challenge to you is to perform the move everyday of the week and see how you feel by the end of the month. The poses will be beginner level poses so everyone should be able to do them. Stick with it and I can assure you, you’ll notice changes in your body and mind.

CORPSE POSE

The Corpse Pose is also called the Savasana pose. This pose is known to relieve stress, fatigue, asthma, constipation, indigestion, and insomnia. This pose is performed on the floor so a mat is recommended. To do this pose first lay down on your mat and rotate your legs in and out then relax them allowing them to fall to your sides naturally. Then relax your arms away from your body while palms face upwards. Move your head side to side then rest it in the center. In addition to relaxing your legs and arms, next relax your facial muscles. Relax your tongue, nose, ears, and forehead. Relax your eyes and breath deeply and slow. Clear your mind and concentrate on breathing and your body. Remain in this pose for 5 minutes.

First Official Day Of School!!

Today was my first day of school!! I am now officially a SENIOR! Oh My Gosh! I can’t even believe it. I am so excited about being a Senior and graduating in the spring that every time I think about walking across the stage accepting that diploma I light up and just start cheesing. I know I look crazy walking around campus smiling like John Travolta in Old Dogs but I don’t care!

This is what I wore today. I loved this outfit because it was comfy and cute!

Pretty polish

I just brought this polish from The Dollar Tree. (S.N: the Dollar Tree is my all time favorite store) The name of this polish is BCC #564 by L.A. Colors. This polish goes on smooth and has a nice consistency. I used two coats and no clear top coat. I just love this shade!!!

Sunday morning joy

There’s nothing more refreshing then waking up on Sunday morning to go to church. I love going to church because once I leave I feel rejuvenated and ready for my week!
