Stress Relievers

Do you ever just feel so overwhelmed by everything going on in life? I certainly have been feeling the stress these past couple of weeks. Between working 40 hours a week, working out everyday for 2-3 hours, and then having to do homework for my online classes during the weekend, I have definitely been feeling the stress. But I do not know how to manage my stress. But what I have found that helps me calm down or relax is playing spider solitaire on my phone crazy enough! If I play a couple of games while on breaks at work or when I am stressed, I find that in return I will feel much calmer. But I have to pay attention to what I do daily that calms me down. And that is what I want to inspire you to do. It may be something so simple as reading a book or taking a walk outside. Find what soothes your spirit, because stress can leave a negative effect on a person. It can cause trouble with sleeping, chest pains, elevated blood pressures, headaches, and upset stomach. Stress can also worsen symptoms of diaereses. I personally knew I was stressing out because I always have trouble sleeping. But it is not good to turn to drugs and alcohol for stress relievers because that could only make things work. Just try and find some type of healthy alternative to relieving your stress. It will work wonders in the end as it has for me now!

Tone Those Glutes!

The new fad seems to be toned, big butts! Well I have to admit it is obtainable, but it takes a lot of hard work. You have to make sure you are doing glutes exercises at least 4 times a week. And on top of exercising, you have to eat right, take protein, and drink lots of water. I have recently started working on my glutes, and I can already tell a difference. My glutes are more tight and toned than loose and out of shape as I like to say. But I feel like working out to get a butt is better than paying for a Brazilian ButtLift. Thousands of hours in the gym sounds better than thousands of dollars spent on something you could have done yourself. I just set a goal of protein for myself everyday, and I make sure to lift heavy at least 5 times out of the week. I know it will take a while to reach my goal, but once I do I know all this hard work was worth it. You can check out these websites! http://www.lyzabethlopez.com/trainwithlyzabeth/

Always Apply the Sunscreen!!

So, since I have been working on my skin, I needed to find out what types of sunscreens to use. If you want to keep your acne spots or scars from getting darker, you need good sunscreen. So as I did some research, I found that zinc oxide is a very important active ingredient you need to search for in sunscreen. It shields you from UVA and UVB rays. Zinc oxide-based sunscreens reflect and scatter the sun's rays, while chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays before they reach your skin. So I use the Walgreens Baby sunscreen with a SPF of 50. It contains 14.5% of zinc oxide, which is the highest I have seen in any sunscreens in the store. I always apply the sunscreen 20-30 minutes before I go outside. I put the sunscreen on first before I put on my makeup. But when I know I am going to be outside, I try not to put on any makeup so that I will be able to reapply my sunscreen every two hours. Just depending on how much you sweat, or are at a pool, or any circumstance like these, will determine exactly when you should reapply. So far, the sunscreen has helped keep my scars from getting darker the past couple of weeks.
