Since the beginning of January I've been back in the gym (after a very long break), and last week Elverys gave me the extra motivation I needed by offering me some fab new gym gear from their latest collection. The items I picked out were: A Nike Pro Classic Sports Bra (yellow) A Reebok top with sports bra attached Under Armour Leggings I need to give a special shoutout to Catherine in Elverys, Blanchardstown who looked after me and was so helpful and friendly. Unfortunately the purple print sports bra wasn't available in my size but I'm keeping an eye out for it! For this collection Elverys collaborated with of my favourite fashionista's Courtney Smith , and together they are encouraging customers to #CommitToFit. And that's exactly what I'm going to do. My commitment to fitness is to continue going to the gym at least three times a week. I train at  Advanced Fitstop and mainly go to classes, which include spinning, boxercise and weight training. I also have

I for one look ridiculous without my eyebrows drawn on, my natural eyebrows are so blonde, they're pretty much non existent! I have used the Catrice Eyebrow Kit religiously for about two years now but spotted a new brow crayon in Penneys for a bargain price of €2.50, and said I'd give it a go. It's double ended with an angled crayon on one end and a spoolie on the other. It has all the makings of a great product but unfortunately it's kinda crap. I found the crayon too waxy, the application wasn't sharp enough and it just didn't last long. My skin would be oily enough so the product had just worn off by the end of the day. I think I'll be sticking my powder eyebrow kit from Catrice!

For anyone who has been reading this blog for a while, you know I go in and out of gym phases. I'm either giving it my all.....or nothing at all.  At the beginning of January, along with half the country, I started going to a gym (again). This wasn't like before , it's not a six week challenge where there's a definite beginning and end. This is basically just what I do now, and hopefully will continue to do for the foreseeable future. I've been going to classes in  Advanced Fitstop , Tyrrelstown, about three times a week, just to improve my general strength and fitness (my arms are like noodles!). These 45 minute classes cover pretty much everything including spinning, weights, exercise and cardio, and I'm always trembling by end! The classes are somehow horrific but brilliant at the same time. What I notice about this gym is how I'm treated no different than anyone else, but still get personal attention when I need it. There's all sorts of people doing
