Refuse black

Hi all and a very happy sunday;=)

Yesterday we had a wonderful day where we cleaned the place so it shines and I must say that even if I am not totally an addict of having it totally in order in our "hidden" areas, I really hate when its dusty in the rooms and especially the bathroom and kitchen so we did our weekly cleaning and that means today is just for relaxing and fun. Me and Seth are gonna have a mum-Seth afternoon and are going to the cinema. Will be nice;=)


My boxing on friday with Lise is really showing in my body today and especially my upper back and my triceps are soooo soar. Great!!!

Yesterday I refused to wear wintery dark clothes and had beige tones on instead. And as you know, I love stars, so I also had a nice thin black star belt on;=)



Here´s some sunday music for you, enjoy!

PT and boxing;=)

Hi all and happy friday to you;=)

Really cold in all of Sweden at the moment but blue sky and a lovely sun so cant complain.

Today me and Lise, my dear PT had our 1 hour long exercise and today she had made a great workout for my shoulders and upper body. I have as a goal to get stronger upper body and more toned shoulders and arms and I asked Lise to do some boxing exercises and so we did today. I found boxing to be so fun and I got a lot of aggressions out and that´s something I need;=)

So what we did today was:
5 min fast power walk on the tread mill
followed by
5 min crosstraining with the resistance level on 8-10

then I did 8 different exercises in a row 3 times with a short break after every circle.
The exercises were:

Boxing - normal straight strikes forward for 45 seconds
then directly:
stomach/core exercise with a 10 kilo weight starting with bent knees while having the weight on one side, then while extending the legs forward and holding my balance, changing sides for the weight. Then back again and so on for 45 seconds

directly followed by:
boxing upper cuts for 45 seconds
then directly to:
using a medicine ball and with a volleyball grip, throwing it up over my head and down for 445 seconds

then directly:
boxing sideways with elbows out for 45 seconds
then directly:
the plank with a boxing glove on the back as a little weight for 45 seconds

then directly:
boxing high up over Lises head (for the shoulders) for 45 seconds
then directly:
one weigh in each hand and sideways lift out and up to exercise the shoulders.

This circle was one and after this some rest and water and then go again 2 more times before stretch.

I assure you, it was SO much fun and I really love to have a PT and can recommend it to everyone!

Now - shower and then I need to go and buy new exercising clothes for the coming months of fun PT training! Next time with Lise is on monday at 11;=)

Thanks Lise - you´re the best!

Shores

Yesterday me and Nemo went out for a nice long walk and stopped by the playground but it´s a bit to cold here at the moment for outdoor activities so today when its -7 degrees we have to stay inside. I dont like cold weather so cleaning the house is a better alternative;=)
But I took some photos from our ocean walk yesterday for you, enjoy!





And we tried out Nemo´s new nice cosy star blanket from GANT;=)



I did a blue make-up yesterday adding some golden glitter on top. Used my normal foundation and concealer from Make up Forever, mineral powder from Jane Iredale, eyeshadow from H&M, mascara from Lancome, eyeliner Jane Iredale, bronzer and rouge from Jane Iredale and lip gloss from MAC.





Today I went to Sandra at Posh shop to fix my nails and this time I wanted something a bit more colourful and crazy so I asked her to do a divided glitter nail and I like it;=)

Make up



So, here´s my make-up I wore in the cruise. The difference from the bigger gig at Gibson was that I didnt do the "tree-ornaments" around my eyes. I only made my eyes really black, with some black glitter eyeshadow on the lid. My make-up stuff are from Jane Iredale, Make up forever, Nars and Chanel. For my hair I use Paul Mitchells styling products.

My dresses I have worn these gigs have been different ones but you will see them all again during the tour. My big skull necklace is from "Rock by Sweden" and I wear a skull tiara in Islander from the same company.

PT

Hi all!

Today I went and had my first PT exercise with Lise;=) She is a great and nice person and our plan is to meet 3 times a week and do 2 times for 30 min รก la crossfit and tabatha exercises and then one time for 60 minutes where we will do more core and also on friday we´ll include some boxing exercises according to my wish;=)
Todays exercise consisted of 10 minutes on the rowing machine to warm up my body. Then 30-20-10 with 2 exercises that were jumping rope and then burpees with push-ups. It was soooo hard and for those of you who think this is easy - try it! Johan did 30-20-10 yesterday and now he understands how hard it is:=)

When I was on the cruise I met a great PT who was the one who made me feel I wanted to go home and get a PT. Her name is Dorothy and she works as a crossfit PT on tour with different bands. She´ll help me when we get over to the states again and she is just like Lise, a really wonderful person;=)

Here´s some photos from the times with Dorothy and here´s her web site.









And here´s Lise if you are from Helsingborg or close by and want a good PT;=)
