I honestly was the person that was like HELL NO to waist trainers; and to be honest I am still against it to aim to cinch your waist to an abnormal size. However, I did try one for the sake of trying and I will say if you get a size bigger they make a great sweat belt at the gym or while working out. AS LONG AS YOU CAN BREATH. I don't like feeling constricted. But with regular sweat belts they sometimes roll down and it can be annoying having to try and adjust it while working out. Since this targets your entire abdomen it seems to help. While working out this is something to test and see if it works for you not something I personally would wear all day long. Ill link an option below ;) and some other weight loss items.

This is NOT younique fiber lash mascara.
Hey Guys!
I don't like to make another company look bad and this isn't what this blog is about. I actually have the Younique Fiber Lash Mascara and I liked it for a while but to be honest the fibers got everywhere and the two step having to go back and forth applying it wasn't really ideal for me. It still looks great and like I said I did like it but its definitely not an every day mascara for me.
Then I found a ONE STEP.. YES ONE STEP mascara that gives the dramatic length without the fibers going all over the place and its just a simple concept. This one is from beauticontrol and I'm in love with it. (left eye 4 coats dramatic lash. Right eye 4 coats of an expensive named brand mascara)
If you are a one step person like me that just likes to put your make up on and go you can contact me at vwatsonyt@gmail.com if you are interested in testing this one out.
If you order by Thursday 2/19/2015 Ill pay the shipping cost which will bring you from $35 to $29
I'm a false lash person but its not realistic to wear fake lashes every day so having a mascara that opens my eyes, and gives me long lashes in one simple sept is everything during the week :)

All things weight loss!
HERE ARE ALL THE THINGS I LIKE THAT HELP AID WEIGHT LOSS.
you can pick and choose what might work best for you and help you maintain or drop a few extra pounds.
Fat Burners & Pre Workouts
Forskolin helps burn fat, helps with asthma and skin problems. I have a youtube video talking about this product and its what I am currently using. Link below.
Vega sport all natural and vegan pre workout. It gives you the perfect amount of energy !
Cleansing
I like smooth move a lot. I know its a little uncomfortable to talk about but it really helps get rid of extra "stuff" clogged up in our belles.
Oolong tea.
this helps aid in proper digestion and speed up the metabolism.
Matcha green tea
another tea that is one of the best #1 part of the body is burns fat from is the stomach. I love this tea, and unfortunately I am allergic to it but when I drank this consistently my stomach was FLAT!!
This cleanse I have used a couple times for jump starting my weight loss and it really does put in work.
Acai Super cleanse for 14 days really helps eliminate backed up stuff from the colon!
Workouts
Some things I like to help me sweat more during a workout
Sweet Sweat this stuff makes you sweat more in those hard to sweat places
Sweat belt: Here is the one I have but there are others you can choose from on amazon
Workout Recovery
Vega sport recovery another product from vega I really like
Protein powder
For a few years now I have tried a few protein powders this one is not only affordable but gets the job done and tastes pretty good
Wheybolic is another one I tried and I love that is sweetened with stevia also tastes great!
These are all the things that have definitely helped me. They all work they are all pretty affordable. And you don't need every single one. Just find what you think will suit you best. These are just products I personally use and know work.
hope this helps :)

Week One Meal Ideas
A lot of us have jobs and need to have a fast but healthy breakfast, then we only get 30 minutes break at work and need to go to the quickest fast food spot or heat up a frozen dinner loaded with sodium and but the time we get home from work we need to figure out what to make for dinner and then again we either heat up a frozen dinner, order out or swing by a fast food place on the way.
Well ill say this first, these meal ideas are to help make your choices easier but the commitment sometimes isn't easy. Especially if this is a transition you haven't made before. Luckly there are plenty of affordable and time consuming options.
I like to cook things in threes. Im not a major meal prep person because I like to have my food as fresh as possible 7 meals in advance chillin in my fridge isn't for me. Three days ahead I can do.
Breakfast Ideas:
2-3 hard boiled eggs, half grapefruit and some green tea. ( trader joes has pre boiled eggs that come in handy if you need to eat breakfast on the go.) I like to add a little hot sauce to mine and stevia to my grapefruit.
1 slice of ezeikeil bread (any kind I like raisin) with a table spoon of almond butter and half a banana on the side or on top! its great :)
1/3 cup of oatmeal with some fresh berries, almond milk (unsweetend), stevia and cinnamon
3 egg whites one whole egg scrambled mixed with vegetables of your choice and some hot sauce. (this is probably one of the best) slice some avocado on tip.
Morning snacks:
the other half of your banana from the a.m. and table spoon of raw sun flower seeds, almonds or walnuts.
quest bar
pineapple and some mixed berries with organic string cheese ( i like to cut out dairy the first week but this is fine)
table spoon of almond butter with an apple
Lunch:
I like to pre make about 3 chicken breast or 3 99% lean turkey patties.
chicken with broccoli, spinach and some hot sauce.
ground turkey patty with zucchini pasta
shrimp with zucchini pasta and earth balance butter is one of my favorite lunches you can get a Veggeti on amazon aka vegetable spaghetti. I love this thing and it makes the meal more fun.
Salad with chicken/tuna/turkey/avocado any vegetables you like and some oil and vinegar or any dressing you choose thats healthy. I like brags liquid amino acids and hot sauce.
Snack:
any of the previous will do
Dinner:
Dinner is the smallest meal for me.
I like roasted vegetables with some chicken or turkey
Cauliflower mash with some protein is also great
For this I just say Protein and a Vegetable.
Frozen veggies are convenient and you can use one of your pre cooked proteins. (if you make more than 3 free your protein so they last longer)
dinner is a hard one for me because its typically the same.
hope this gives you a little idea for week one on what you can eat so you don't feel like you are a little bird. lol
xo.
Please keep me updated with your progress!

MY WEIGHT LOSS MUST HAVES
In this blog ill be sharing some things I believe to be essential for weight loss. The first week changing up a diet routine is usually the week we lose the most. Because of water weight and a drastic transition.
Here are some things I find to be MUST HAVES!
Forskolin! I've tried Garcinia Cambogia, CLA fat burners, amongst other things and I just wasn't impressed. I recently tried this forskolin and I have to say I am so impressed with the results I had using this supplement. I believe is helped me not have as many plateaus and I also believe it helped speed up the process of my weight loss. Below I'll link the exact product I used and purchased myself.
My next weight loss must have is TEA! There are two teas I like specifically although one I can no longer drink because I'm allergic to it. But before I knew I was allergic, man, my abs were on point!
Matcha green tea. Ill say this one for cost sake and it'll last far longer than the other tea I love so much which is (monkey picked oolong from teavana) the number one part of the body matcha burns fat from in the stomach! If you don't mind a green taste then you will enjoy this. When you click the link above search for Matcha Green Tea (organic is better)
Next when you are on the go and you are in a position where its either eat a donut or a piece of cake QUEST BARS ARE YOUR OTHER BESTIE! From he flavors to the simple ingredients they really are someone anyone on a health journey should cary with them for an emergency. My favorites are the oreo and chocolate chip so I will link those two options below. (I have used these as a meal replacement front time to time)
Search Quest Bars From Previous Link
If you are someone who is a snacker and you like things to be on the more savory side QUEST NUTRITION CHIPS are to die for and are also a life saver. 21 grams of protein low carb and taste great. Another nice little back up to have if you feel like you really need something to hold you over.
Search quest chips from previous link
For those of you who need to lose more than 20 pounds I recommend the HCG diet. It's worked really well for me and for the people who stick to it. In this diet challenge its completely optional and you can check this next link out below. Ill also link a video of my most recent results. This is completely optional!

Botox update: 24 years old with Botox
I know I said I'd check in after a couple days after having my Botox. But it didn't start to kick in until the 3rd day. My forehead looked a little weird because I could kind of move it but I still had
ripples. After two weeks it took its full effect. I must say I AM IN LOVE!
I feel it gives my face a nice look. I still have some expression and I can lift part of my brows. I'll post some recent photos. My make up doesn't crease up in the lines of my forehead and it just looks so smooth. This is something I definitely want to do in the future again.

Getting Botox at Age 24!
I'm sure its somewhat frowned upon being 24 years old and getting botox. But i'm okay with that. I'm at the age now where I want to experiment, I want to prevent wrinkles by eating healthy, not smoking, washing my face correctly, but lets face it that won't completely prevent it. I was offered a free botox treatment after months of considering spending my own money on it so I finally gave in. This is a short review of the process and what I can expect in the next couple of days.
First things first. What facility did I go to? I went to Laser Away in Sherman Oaks and I was beyond impressed with the facility and customer service. As weird as it sounds the receptionist treats you like you're friends and I LOVE that.
Next, she went over all my options payment wise. (this treatment was free for a promo they had) but for future payment options when I want to come back.
After that a nurse comes in and asks you about your health history to make sure you are a good fit.
Then comes the botox. She carefully checked my facial expressions for botox placement and then iced my face. It is completely painless, a tiny pinch. She explained to me not to exercise for 12 hours, not to lay down for four hours and that there is a chance of small bruising. First results don't show up for 3 days and after that 2 weeks are the final results. They last 3-4 months before having to go back and re do. Not too bad in my opinion.
This is something I really just wanted to try to see what it is like, I squint my eyes a lot and make little faces that sometimes cause a crease in my make up and I just don't care for it.
I'm excited to see what happens in the next couple of days and then for the two week results.
I had a great experience at Laser Away and will definitely be returning for other treatments. :) Here are some Pre photos I'll update you in a few days and then in 2 weeks for final results.
