Relationships: Benefits of Exercise in a Relationship

Tuesday, May 1, 2012

Exercise is not only good for your physical well being but mentally, it can really help you unwind after a long day at work.  And when you and your partner have a workout routine, whether it be together or separate, you are both really benefitting your relationship. 

Releasing Negative Energy
When you work out, you release negative thoughts and energy from your day.  They run through your mind as you do your workout.  Instead of having to unload on your partner and push your stress on them, you are getting them out yourself and they won't even be an issue by the time you are done.  Couples that have some sort of exercise routine, generally don't fight and bicker as often.

Better Self Esteem
Also, working out helps boost your self esteem.  Self esteem can be a huge problem in a relationship. If someone has low self esteem, they can bbecome suspicious and untrusting of parts of the relationship for almost no reason.   When both of you feel better about yourselves you can actually have less triggers for fights and it's easier to combat jealousy.  Why worry about the hottie in your husbands office when you are SOOOO in shape, right?!

Something To Discuss
Ever run into a lull where you have nothing to discuss at dinner? Now you have something, and it's something positive!  Your weight loss goals being reached, or maybe even your newest routine at the gym!  

A Stronger Support System in Each Other
If you do decide to work out together, it can be very very very beneficial to your relationship because you are supporting each other with something so naturally, you feel more loved, and more taken care of, and more like you are on the same team, even though you are already right? 

So basically, you can kill two birds with one stone when you exercise.  You can get a better body and a healthier relationship!


After A Huge Handbag Debate...


I have chosen to keep wearing my Miley bag from Silvia's Handbags.  i was getting itchy to buy a new handbag and then I looked through my current selection in my closet.  And I have also determined this is my favorite bag of all time because I love the slouchiness of it and I also love how lightweight it is.  Some bags have too many embellishments are too heavy but not my Miley bag.  It fits all of my stuff and it matches everything!!!!   They come in all different colors but the grey is my favorite.  Plus I keep the shoulder strap on it because it hangs below it and it reminds me of celebs with their bags!!!

I Organized My Closet!

Monday, April 30, 2012

On Friday, I posted on Twitter and Facebook asking you all how you go about organizing the clothing in your closet.  I got all types of responses including:
- Sleeve length
-Color
-Type

And that's where my problem was.  I had them organized somewhat but it wasn't working out.  I thought that organizing by sleeve length was okay but It was hard to see what I had in each section.  So I decided to change it to:
- Type
-Color
-Sleeve length






As you can see above, there really was no order.  It looked very uneven and junky.   So here it is afterwards


So I started with my work clothes and put them in sections of what kind (blouse, sweater, etc.)
Then I went on to tank tops and party wear and made sure they were organized by color.



What I ended up with was:
Work Clothes
Tank Tops
Button Up jackets
Zip up Jackets
Outerwear Jackets
Loungewear tops
Short Sleeve Tops
Half Sleeve Tops
Long Sleeve Tops

Each section is separate by a little gap of space so it's easier for me to see where it begins or ends.  I hope to be able to organize the hangers I use because that may make it even easier!!  Within each section, I organized by color and then within color, I did it by sleevelength.

It's much easier for me to organize by two major things

What it is
Color

Because...

Whenever I have an idea of what I want to wear, it's generally one of these few outfit choices
-Jeans and a regular top
-Jeans and a summer top with something over it
- leggings and a long dressy top

So this way I know what kind of top I'm looking for, and then it's easy for me to organize by color because I usually try to match up my pants to whatever top I'm wearing.

Am I rambling? Okay, I'm done I just had to share!!

PxSupply.com Review

I love PXsupply.com! They have a great selection of army and navy supplies like clothing and footwear.  I especially love their men's selection, as my boyfriend was in the Air Force so I know I could find stuff on here that he would love!!  He actually received Air Force Fleece Shorts which he loves and wears all the time!!

They are very comofortable and they look great and go with so many shirts! He loves them for just lounging around and even sleeps in them sometimes.  They are great quality and very durable!!    Plus I love the lace ties!  I will (and already have) be getting him quite a few things from PXSupply.com!

Panty By Post Review

Saturday, April 28, 2012

How cool would it be to have a new pair of underwear sent to you each month for a very low cost?  This means you could get all different styles, colors, and patterns, and you get the bonus of opening it from a really cool package shipped directly to you!

Well, that's exactly what Panty by Post does.  And I got to receive one from them.  And let me tell you I really enjoyed the thrill of getting a super cute package in the mail.

It was wrapped in the cutest tissue paper.

And Voila! What a cute pair of panties!!

This can really help curb a shopping addiction especially to an expensive lingerie store.  With Panty By Post you get something new each month but you aren't spending a ton of money, plus you get a variety of styles.

And if you get the wrong size, you can return it, and if you don't like it, that's fine too.  They work for YOUR satisfaction.  The whole process of selecting a size and style is super simple.

Definitely invsest in this little program ASAP!
