CURRENT LOVES #2


Here's to staying healthy, strong and on track! These current loves are all an imperative part of the BBBProject. Hope these inspire you too!

WATER DAILY APP
Winter makes it tough to keep up with my water intake so I downloaded this easy free app to ensure I'm not only reminded periodically to keep hydrated but make a small accomplishment each day. That even though I haven't saved the world, I've at least don't something good for myself!

BLACKGOLD BALSAMIC REDUCTION
This sweet, thick, delicious sauce brings all my meals to life - just try it, you won't be disappointed! And it's literally fat free and low in those little sneaky sugars!

COTTON ON SOFT TRAINING TANK
Found these workout tanks on sale and I already an dying to have one in every color available. They are super soft, easy wash and dry, and are hassle free when you are training - no fidgeting and pulling necessary! Love love love.

The Beautiful Blonde Bit*h Project


For quite sometime, I’ve been looking for other avenues in using the LL to inspire. A platform for not only myself, but the readers too. Then 2 things happened . . .  
  1. My constant food coma-eating-like-a-cavewoman-but-working-out-like-a-demon-guilt -frustration was getting the best of me 
  2. My trainer, knowing how incredibly competitive I am and hearing my constant guilt frustration moaning (shame, the poor man), approached me with a 10 week Weight Loss Challenge he’s putting together for his clients.
I finally had my light bulb, heavens parting, crunch time (literally and hundreds I’m guessing) moment. Game on  biat*hes! 
And then, The Beautiful Blonde Bit*h Project was born. 

I have a clear vision and hope for myself as I approach my 32nd birthday. I’m feeling even more pressure within to achieve it. It’s 3 simple things:
  1. To see myself as beautiful again but to hopefully inspire others too to feel beautiful in their own skin and own way. We all have the right to see ourselves as beautiful no matter what the vision is personally.
  2. Transition back to blonde (small yet significant as I feel my sexiest as a blonde, and yes -  we do have more fun) 
  3. And to tackle these like a boss . . . or in this case a biat*h!

 So I stocked my fridge with healthy necessities, installed a water intake app on my phone, had my last indulgence stint (thank you gluten-free brownie in a mug) and thought it would all be so much more achievable if it’s out in the open.
Each week, I’ll be updating you of my progress – sans the before and after photos for the time being as that would just be cruel and such a cliche – and we will achieve this together. 

Here’s to feeling inspired and getting back on track!

Sweet Young LOVE


You know those moments when you see something and it fills you with happiness. Makes you smile. Makes you believe in something again and reassures you that there are still beautiful things and people in this world. I saw this late, last week -  and was left with a wave of immense beatitude and reassurance and belief again . . . in love!

The moment was pure and innocent. 2 people coming together after a long days work. And the glimpse (because if I looked any longer it just would’ve been creepy) I saw of the running embrace, (yes, they ran to each other. You see how beautiful this just keeps getting) and the envelopment of arms, I knew it just couldn’t get any better than this. Two people, starting to care for each other and giving those around them the happy fuzzy “there’s still love in the world” feelings.

It’s still there, we just have to wait sometimes to realize that’ll it’ll come to us all at the right time, the right place, even after all the heartbreak.

The LITTLE LIGHT



Its been a rough couple of weeks. Emotionally. Physically. Not just for me, but for many of those near and dear. It’s almost as though the equilibrium we all had got ever slightly shifted off course. Causing us all to feel a sense of unbalance.

As I processed through the personal small struggles and supporting those around me, I found my inner light dimming a little, bit by bit. Causing a sense of brief loneliness. But as I started to gain perspective and work through the motions, I found that little light again. And one morning whilst washing the dishes (yes, I actually have to put my self manicured hands through such torture!), I heard myself whistle and sing again.

A small yet very significant sign that it’ll all be alright. That the light and spark is always there, it just needs to find it’s way once in a while.
