Can somebody give me back my life please?

Wow, had big plans with this blog, and then suddenly everything fell apart. One of my fav quotes is "sometimes the shit comes down so hard you have to wear a hat", and boy oh boy I could have worn three!

But as I try and pick up the pieces of what was once my life I decided that I should write here some more. Dont care if people recognize me or whatever, this is me and my struggle to get my life back. Starting today.

As am on a really, really tight budget right now I thought I would start collecting and sharing tips for homemade beauty stuff, cheap but healthy recipes and the likes. If you like you can follow me on my struggle, or shall I call it journey, into a better me, a stronger me.. *starts humming 'I will survive'* :)

Boxing..

.. didn't really go well tonight. It is probably not nice to say this, but a partner who is just starting out is a bit frustrating, as I can't learn much, let alone practice the combinations. Oh well, bag training tomorrow will be better.

Ofcourse my nails didn't survive the boxing gloves, so off to do a new mani now.

Musthaves

Can you tell I'm a bit bored? Just a random list of some of my musthaves.

- Chanel selftanner for face, the only tanner that doesn't make me go orange!
- CND Cuticle Eraser, just awesome.
- Eight Hour Cream, for my lips, hands, basically good for everything :)
- MAC foundation, best I ever used.
- Skinceuticals C+E Ferulic serum, to keep my skin glowing.

Those are the ones I can't live without. So how about you, any beauty tips or musthaves? Let me know!

Workout plan for this week

Since I'm having a hard time combining boxing and weight lifting I want to try someting different this week. Can't catch lowkicks when my legs are sore from heavy squats. So will try some Tabata style workouts this week. Oh what pain I will feel :)

Schedule so far: boxing on monday, tuesday and wednesday. Tabata training for chest and abs thursday, legs friday, back saturday. But then I miss arms hmmm.. Need to think about it some more.

For those of you who don't know what Tabata is, google it, it is 4 minutes of pure and utter pain :)

So..


.. Fashionista didn't last that long, never try to get your boots on with freshly polished nails!

Replaced it with Sexsea from Color Club.

Fashionista



Failed to do a mani yesterday cause my friend came to visit. Was in the mood for some purple today so I used H&M Fashionista. Lovely color, but streaks a bit. Sorry for the crappy phone pic :)

Today..

.. was not too good a day for me. No workout, which always gets me a bit irritated. But I listened to some good advice of giving my body a few days of rest. Three days of boxing and three days of weighttraining seems a bit too much, every muscle in my body aches! So just some R&R for me.

Figured I would go and give myself a nice mani, think it will be Ruby Pumps tonight! Pics later.

Hi there

Thought about blogging for a long time, but since I have a bit more time lately figured I might as well start one now.

You can call me Josja, forever 28 ;) living in The Netherlands. I have lots of interests, but my biggest passions are lifting weights, and kickboxing. If I am not sweating my ass of in the gym I love to keep myself busy with pretty things like make up and nailpolish.

Not really sure how this thing will work out, but you're more than welcome to read and leave a nice message :)
