30 Days 30 Hairstyles: Day 16

Just a simple look for the day, I used my flat iron to make some loose curls and left my hair down, easy enough!

30 Days 30 Hairstyles: Day 13-15

I have been so incredibly busy that I haven't had time to really take pictures or do my hair! Two days I defaulted to my easy hairstyles (straightened and down and a regular old ponytail). Day 13 I had some time and inspiration and came up with this:

I have done a similar hairstyle in this challenge, but this time I just twisted two pieces of hair on each side and joined them into the bun instead of braiding the hair, I definitely will do my hair like this in the future!

Fitness Friday #6: Workout Schedule

I have recently been in a bit of a workout rut and haven't really felt motivated or excited for any of my workout DVDs. I use MyFitnessPal to keep track of calories and exercise and I heard about a workout challenge that sounded like the perfect solution! For the last two weeks I have been following Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Slim Down Challenge, which is tough, but a great motivator and it really helps that I am part of a group to keep me accountable! Here is the schedule:

DAY 1 - 30 DAY SHRED: LEVEL 1

DAY 2 - 30 DAY SHRED: LEVEL 1

DAY 3 - NO MORE TROUBLE ZONES

DAY 4 - 30 DAY SHRED: LEVEL 1

DAY 5 - BANISH FAT, BOOST METABOLISM
DAY 6 - QUICK TROUBLE ZONES
DAY 7 - OFF!
DAY 8 - 30 DAY SHRED: LEVEL 1
DAY 9 - 30 DAY SHRED: LEVEL 2
DAY 10 - QUICK TROUBLE ZONES

DAY 11 - 30 DAY SHRED: LEVEL 2
DAY 12 - BANISH FAST, BOOST METABOLISM
DAY 13 - NO MORE TROUBLE ZONES

DAY 29 - 30 DAY SHRED: LEVEL 2 AND THEN LEVEL 1
DAY 30 - NO MORE TROUBLE ZONES

So far I have noticed some small results (I'm looking to tone up more, not lose any weight or anything), I can definitely see my stomach muscles and better muscle tone in my arms. I'm definitely looking forward to day 30!

30 Days 30 Hairstyles: Day 12

Here's my hair inspiration for today's hairstyle:

And here's my interpretation:

I didn't quite get it as messy, but I think it turned out pretty good and only took about 15 minutes! I do think next time I do this, though, I'll put some braids on the other side as well. This may be my new favorite summer hairstyle!

30 Days 30 Hairstyles: Day 10 & 11

Yesterday I wasn't feeling inspired to try anything new with my hair, so I just did a low ponytail and wrapped a piece of hair around to hide the hair tie (pictured below).

Today, though, I felt like doing something a little fancy and created a new hairstyle for me! Basically I just put my hair into a ponytail, created a space between the hair tie and scalp to pull the ponytail through a few times, and then secured it with some bobby pins.

30 Days 30 Hairstyles: Day 9

Curly hair and an outfit post! I was going through my closet trying to mix up some pieces and came up with this outfit which I thought was kind of fun and vintage inspired. I'm wearing red peep toe shoes, but I couldn't get the angle right to show them.

My hair really doesn't like to hold curls, so I spray each piece with hairspray right before I curl it and then pin it (like a pincurl) after it's been curled. After all my hair is curled, pinned, and cool I let them all out! It works pretty well, but my curls still don't keep all day :(

30 Days 30 Hairstyles: Day 8

I made it through week one! I've tried this hairstyle a few times before, but my hair never wants to cooperate! It did today, mostly, so I kept it!

30 Days 30 Hairstyles: Day 7

Day 7! When I woke up this morning, I noticed that my hair had some pretty waves from the braided hairstyle yesterday, so I decided to just do a simple side ponytail.

30 Days 30 Hairstyles: Day 6

I had to work at my part time job again, so up went the hair! This has been my new favorite hairstyle since I watched the tutorial. Very easy and pretty! I always get compliments when I wear my hair like this.

30 Days 30 Hairstyles: Day 5

Today I thought I would take a classic hairstyle (half-up/half-down) and change it up a little. I pulled half my hair up, split it in two parts, tied it once and put a bobby pin, then tied it again and secured with another bobby pin.

30 Days 30 Hairstyles: Day 4

I finally did my hair today! It took forever to decide what to do, but after watching this video I decided. I have been wanting to try this out for awhile, but didn't have the time to try it out. I didn't re-watch the tutorial, but I think it turned out pretty good! :)

30 Days 30 Hairstyles: Day 3

I have been watching hair tutorials on youtube to get some inspiration for the next 26 days, but now I feel as though I have too many ideas and I'm having a hard time deciding which hairstyle to pick! I still haven't done my hair today!

Yesterday I kept it simple and did a sort of half-up half-down, but used only the top part of my hair.
