Spelling Out Your Workouts

If you're anything like me, doing the same workouts over and over again are extremely boring. It's very difficult to get the motivation to work out when you get bored halfway through. I'm not the biggest fan of the gym because I stay for 15 minutes and get bored/ leave. This is extremely unproductive. As I was scouring pinterest for workouts the other day, I found this from the SkinnyMom. 

Spell out your full name to get your workout!:

To me, conceptually, this seemed like an interesting idea. However, the thought of just doing my name over and over again seemed extremely uninteresting. I figured that I liked the idea of spelling words out. I toyed with the idea of spelling "flat abs" or "skinny legs" as a workout, but it was still too routine for me after a while.

I then came up with the idea of using a random word generator such as this one. This way the workouts vary by size and intensity. I came up with a couple rules too:

  1. short words 3-4 letters in length: 5 sets of the workout
  2. medium size words 5-6 letters long : 4 sets
  3. Long words 7+ letters: 3 sets
I thought this would be a fun way to change up the workouts every day. You will not get tired of the same old routines.

DIY Harry Potter sharpie mug

I about to write a post about something many, many, MANY people have done before, but I just couldn't resist myself. I thought this idea was just so cute. It really isn't much of a tutorial. Get mug, decorate, bake, BOOM you're done. I decorated mine to have as many Harry Potter references as I could fit without overdoing it. The main point is the play on "Expecto Patronum" turning it into Espresso Patronum. I then added some HP themed symbols on the handle. On the bottom I draw the grim to mimic the scene with the tea leaves. And, because I love this quote, I wrote "I solemnly swear I am up to no good  ·  Mischief managed"

DIY: Flower RIng

Image
I discovered a cute, re-inventive way of creating a flower ring today. Usually, making a flower ring for me consists of just forming a flower shape out of wire. This tutorial takes it a step further, creating an enamel filling for the petals. What you will need: 16 gauge wire Wire pliers Pencil Nail polish color of choice First, start off by wrapping the wire around a pencil 5 times (or as many times as you want petals) Start bending the coils out one by one to make the petals and shape them to your taste.   Take the end of the wire and wrap it around a marker or something else that is round that is about the size of your finger and secure the end. Next, we are going to start filling in the petals.  Take the nail polish of your choice. I picked a very light pink color because I was going for an elegant look. A fat, flat brush works best for this. Star at the point of the petal and slowly pull back, creating a thin film. If the film br
