Only a few more days to go until the end of this month, I hope everyone had an excellent month so far. How’s your squat challenge doing? I have to admit that I kept quitting and starting over countless time, so if you’re in the same boat like me, just give yourself a break, believe in yourself then start the challenge at the day you were left off. For those who are on track to complete the challenge, congratulations, you’re rocking it girlfriend! I’m so proud of you. You definitely should do something to celebrate your success, like go shopping for a new workout clothes!
Everybody keep up the good work and come join me on the next months challenge! This August we are going to pay more attention to the obliques and ab muscles. But before we talk about the challenge, I have two questions to ask you.
Do you love cupcakes or muffins?
Yes, those two are my favorite.
What about the muffin top, do you still love it?
Nope. I don’t.
Now let’s get right into our business.
What’s a muffin top?
I’m not talking about the toppings that you put on top of the muffins or cupcakes. I’m talking about a roll of excess fat that hangs out over your waist when wearing tight jeans or pants. Just a reminder: The challenge will be from August 1st – 30th, 2016. You can download your Challenge Tracking Progress Sheet here, if you haven’t had a chance to grab one.

…and here’s the 30 Days Muffin Top Challenge Plan,
Sometimes making something that the whole family can enjoy gives you an amazing feeling. No daddy menu, mommy menu and baby menu because everyone is loving and enjoying the same exact food. Saves sometime for me to write more blogs!
Today’s menu is making me smile really big because it is easy, simple, delicious, provides plenty of nutrients and of course everyone can enjoy it together. All you need is two ingredients strawberries and key limes. Let’s take a look at the benefits of each ingredient first.
Strawberries are high in vitamin C, calcium, potassium, folic acid and fiber. Strawberries has high antioxidants anthocyanins, which help you produce an adiponectin hormone, fat- burning hormone, in your body. Strawberries also help to prevent the body from turning starch into sugar too. Research has shown the links between consuming vitamin C during stress can help reduce blood pressure back to normal level, and can also help to prevent the development of hypertension — especially in children.
If you consider trying this menu, try choosing organic strawberries over the normal ones, if not you probably have a high chance of consume pesticides.
Key limes provide an excellent source of Vitamin C and potassium, are cholesterol free, fat free, sodium free and low in calories. Key limes are also beneficial for weight loss and help boost your metabolism too.
Now let’s talk about how to make it.
We already knew what ingredients we need, lets see about the equipment. You do not need a juicer but you do need a blender, and a knife.
Follow my directions below;
First, wash your strawberries and key limes, then cut the strawberry leaves off and throw them away, next step simply put all your strawberries into the blender. Then cut your key limes in half and squeeze them into the blender. Start blending until it turns smooth. Voila! It’s time to enjoy!
If you want to speed up your metabolism even more, adding a pinch of cinnamon and a pinch of cayenne pepper will do the work.My husband and I love drinking it first thing in the morning and we make this menu as a snack for our little angel.

Questioning yourself again and again “what should I wear for my date tomorrow?” Complaining “I don’t have any clothes!” Not just you girlfriends, me too! This is a typical pretty girl problems!
I remember when I went on a first date with my boyfriend, who’s now my lovely husband, I tried on many outfits the night before. I mean, at least 5 outfits and still I couldn’t find the right one. The reason for that is because you want to look beautiful, even though your date always says you’re so beautiful but you know what, I just want to be a little bit more gorgeous than usual. Is that ok?
Today, I’m going to share with you from my dating experience “The basic rules for picking the right dating outfit every girl should know.”
1. Something comfy
You never know how long your date will last for, so wearing something comfortable is a must. If you go for a dinner then a movie afterwards, you don’t want to be stuck in that outfit for hours and hours. Not only dose it make you uncomfortable, it will ruin your personality too. Instead of focusing on your cutie, you have to worry about your outfit and how it will feel throughout the date.
2. Remember fit and flatter
Just because you see one of your friends wearing a tiny little black dress and look so amazing, doesn’t mean you have to go get the same dress and wear it for your first date (or any dates). You want to put on something that will fit you perfectly and also flatter your body too. Be true to yourself, if you don’t look 110% good in it then forget about it. Try the next one! A little tip here, choose the dress that is similar to the one you were wearing before and everyone said WOWs!
3. Choosing the right colors
Depending on where you are going and what time of the day, picking the right color can draw a lot more attention to you. It can represent who you are, and how you really feel. Remember that saying “first impression”, people can sense your emotions from the colors of your cloth too.
Wearing bright normally means you are a happy and a playful person. Darker colors mean you are strong, outgoing, and of course very sexy too but sometimes it can mean that you are sad. So be careful about what color you are choosing. For me I always go for bright colors for daytime and dark colors for night.
4. Get ready for the weather
The best thing to do is to check the weather ahead of time but who’s going to do that, not me! I am pretty sure at least you know what season you are in, just dress for the weather, ladies. You don’t want your date to take off his jacket to help cover you up because you’re too cold. Yes, you are cold because you are wearing your pretty satin dress and forget to bring your jacket along with you.
You don’t want to feel bad for your freezing cold cutie either, so pick the right outfit gorgeous, so you both can enjoy each other on your special day.
5. Pay attention to undergarments
Unless you don’t wear one, so you don’t need to worry about it! Right color, right style, and right fabric will add one layer of comfy and another layer of beauty on you.
If you’re planning on wearing a white dress, wear it with white or skin color undies. You don’t want your secret lover to steal your scene or to say hello before you say it. Not only is it inappropriate, it shows your sense of style too. Dress classy, stay classy and have a wonderful time, lovebirds.
I think I got you covered for these pretty girl problems. Let me know what your rules are on picking the right dating outfits. I bet you have a ton.

Do you have Tassel Earrings? Do you have Off the Shoulder dress or top?
If yes, why don’t you try to mix and match them together for this summer?
I love how tassel earrings and off the shoulder look so chic together! Any hairstyle won’t go wrong with them. Beach braids, high bun, swept-back, beachy waves and many more can give these two pieces a must have for this season.
Let me know if you agree with what I just said or not!
Because we love Summer and we love Fall, over the knee boots are one of the must have items you should have in your closet. I know some of these gorgeous boots are a little bit pricey, that’s why I am here to encourage you to get them right now before the Fall/ Winter starts which makes the prices crazy high so you won’t regret it later.
I did some research for you and came up with all these pairs from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2016. High heels, medium height and flats are all below, I hope you enjoy and find your soulmate pairs like I just did before I started typing this post.
Rock those booties and share your pictures with us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter using #allaboutgoodvibes_fashion and don’t forget to tag me @thevibescloset so I can see you my lovelies!Have a fabulous weekend!
