Zumba-dy Teach Us to Read Properly

Despite having a jam-packed day of going through everything I own and then for some reason feeling like shit, myself and my friend ventured to the gym to try out our next experimental class: Zumba. But wait, were we sure? Did we read the title properly? No. Of course we fucking didn't. It wasn't just any Zumba, it was Strong by Zumba.

Little did we realise what exactly we'd got ourselves in for. The Strong by Zumba website says of itself: "Strong by Zumba combines high intensity interval training with the science of Synced Music Motivation." It's safe to say that we did not realise this. We died ever so slightly. Considering this, time during the class went pretty quickly- it had been 50 minutes just as we thought it would never end.

There's literally no explanation regarding the class that I can give. The website says it all, and it was tough man. But do you know what? We got through it. We fucking got through it. And for the fourth class I've ever taken at the gym, I'm pretty proud of myself for being able to keep going through the torture (on the whole). I've also realised how bad my strength is, and that my arms shake when having to hold me up because they're weak as fuck.

Normal, plain ole Zumba will be one for the books in the future now that we've realised our mistake. RIP us.

Here's a little video of us during the class (also makes great motivation):

Disney Pins!

Image
Disney is two days away guys! The excitement is real!  Whilst trying to plan my outfits, I thought I might dig out some Disney pins I have that I could possibly wear whilst at Disneyland. This is a bade that I've had for yeeeaaaaaars! It's got to be around 14+ years old? It has my little initial on it so people know what my name begins with. (Why do we like to buy things that have our names/initials on?) It's like a little vintage pin that I want to bring back and start wearing again. This one my friend got me from her trip to a Disney park or some kind (probably Florida). It's 9 years old and I remember her giving it to me. I used to keep a pin badge collection so this was a perfect edition to that collection. Although I don't talk to the friend as often now, it's nice having this as like a little reminder. I've never actually worn it out so it'll be nice to show off the bling bling.  One of my favs is the Tomorrowland badge...

Autumn Equinox

Image
Today is the day of Autumn Equinox. The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, and it's time to get super cosy. I'm currently writing this from the comfort of my bed with what I would describe as a cosy set up.   I have my mega cheap copper wire fairy lights on that I bought from Primark, wrapping around my many miscellaneous possessions.  I also have my £3 Asda- own vanilla candle lit. Now, call me an amateur, call me what you will, but I love a vanilla scent and it makes me feel cosy af. This is my first ever candle so please leave me alone and go away with your Yankee Candles that are probably called "Breath of Autumn" and god knows what. (I have nothing against Yankee Candles.) I'm wearing any old tshirt I could find, but super cosy bottoms by Little Blue House. I bought these when flying back from Canada and can not recommend them enough. They're brushed cotton which, in my correct opinion, is the ultima...

Christmas: What I'm Reading

I wanted to write a couple of blog posts about Christmas, so have decided to write about the mediums I shall be consuming that are Christmas related. This episode: books! I've only recently started reading regularly again after since finishing uni and thought it was the perfect time to try and fit some Christmas reading in to get me into the spirit! Below are three books that I have/am currently reading. A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote I only discovered this short story after buying and reading Capote's popular tale about Holly Golightly- Breakfast at Tiffany's . The book contained two short stories, one of which being A Christmas Memory . It's a short but fairly sweet story about a young boy named Buddy and his older cousin and their Christmas tradition of making fruitcakes. Much like the Charles Dickens' stories, these characters are poor, and Capote has written it in such a way that helps you to appreciate the little things during this time of ...
