Chapped Lips - Not Cute!

I have been suffering lately with really bad chapped lips.
I'm not sure if it's because of the weather, lack of hydration or just because I have generally been feeling run down - Knowing my luck it is probably a combination of all 3!

So I've been researching ways to heal them quickly......this is what has been working for me!

1) Give them a good old Scrub - But not too hard! I've been lightly brushing away the dead skin with an old toothbrush feels a bit weird and leaves them a bit tingly but generally gets rid of the dead dried flaky skin.

2) Carmex - Yes it's cheap and cheerful and was found at the til in Primark, but honestly it's the best lip balm I've used in ages. After scrubbing I apply a thin (very thin) coat of lip balm and wait for it to soak in.......I then apply a second layer just before i fall asleep.

3) WATER - Water, water, water - Yes it's the answer to all of life's' little problems. In all seriousness though I've found that by increasing my water intake just a bit and following all the steps above I've been able to pretty much eliminate my chapped lips!

What are your favourite lip treatments??

Hunger!

THIS!!!!!

Never has a statement resonated with me more! I have no clue as to what is wrong with me at the minute but I can not stop eating! I'm hoping its due to my increase in weight training again?

Currently enjoying this at work!

oooooh the glamour!

So much for clean eating and trying to be sugar free??

Might have to start that one again.

On another note I've decided to give up popcorn for lent! This is huuuge for me as I am totally addicted to the stuff!

Also going to make sure I stick to my training plan until Easter - I know not strictly giving up but I need to see some serious results before summer #summerbodiesaremadeinwinter!

Do you have any plans to give anything up for lent?

Catch Up and My new Training Programme

I can not believe how long it has been since I last posted!
I'm fairly sure I've started the last two posts off by saying that. A lot has been going on in my little world and unfortunately not all of it has been good!
It's been a tough month or so but I'm finally coming out of the other side and I am more that ready to get back into blogging again!

So I'm starting off with some exciting (well for me anyway) gym news.....

I have purchased, printed, but not yet started the Kayla Itsines Better Body Guide! I am so so so excited to start this program.
It's been a while since I followed a gym program - I've been preferring to head to classes and hit the gym in between but I need to seriously kick start my routine again and decided the better body guide was an affordable way forward!

You only have to take a look around Instagram to see there is an amazing community already following the program check out #thekaylamovement #bbtg and having amazing results.

I can't wait to give it a proper go and of course I'll be sharing my results with you all!
