Bitches be like... No make-up...  lol 

 Hello my friends!

It is SO good to be home for Christmas!  My father lives in the mountains, so you wake up to the most amazing view.

Anyways, still need to keep the tush tight... even on holiday.  I have 4 Expo's coming up and want to look my best.  The show must go on.

As many of you know, small towns does not have gyms. lol. .... Next best option is to drive a home workout gym around in your car's boot.  :)

Time for important things

"If it's important to you, you'll find a way. If not...you'll find an excuse."

- Coach Whitney

>>>> It really is as simple as that.  People like to come up with excuses all the time for not doing things and then blame other factors - Most of the time ' I did not have time' .  It all comes down to what your priorities are.  Do what you feel is most important to you.  It is hard living up to other peoples expectations all the time.  

Here is a small recipe I would like to share with you. 

I made a big whole chicken and took all the meat of the bones.  I like to keep it in the fridge during the week.  It ensures that there is something cooked and healthy to eat all the time. 

Grill mushrooms, snap peas and marrows in a tablespoon of coconut oil until soft but still crunchy.   Add oven roasted chicken pieces.  Add 3 tablespoons yogurt ( I used lactose free) and let everything cook through.  I added my new favourite spice from Woolies, salt and pepper. 

Enjoy! :) 

Self love - Vanity?

Self Love? Vanity? Where's the line, and how do you walk it? 

I believe a little vanity leads to a healthy self-esteem. This being said, there is a line.  Sometimes we linger on that thin line, as fitness girls.  In a industry like this, you want to promote a healthy, fit body.  You have to be the advert for yourself, if you want to make a success.  If this need a little self-love, then so be it.  

In my humble opinion, if you still inspire people to be the best that they can be, and you are not just working for self gain, there is nothing wrong with it.  You are taking the lead and giving something positive back. The most important part is to remain HUMBLE.  In great success, it is an even greater achievement to keep your little feet grounded. 

Arrogance can be a deadly quality and can have an extremely negative effect on a sufferer's daily life, personal relationships and performance at work.

So how do you see the difference? This will vary from person to person as to what they perceive to be over confident and vain... as to someone who  feels competent and self-assured, a person willing to take responsibility, who at the same time cares about others. 

To conclude; believe in yourself. Trust in  your abilities and above all remember that humility is the most attractive characteristic you can find in someone.  

I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes.
