Fall allergies aren't a flattering look on me


I always worry about exactly how long my eye makeup is going to stay intact in the fall because I have such bad fall allergies. It makes me sad every time but I take a bathroom break around lunch and realized I've rubbed most of my eye makeup off because of my itchy eyes. That's seriously no way to live, so I decided that I would do something a little differently this year as far as my allergies go. I'm going to see a specialist and take some extra measures so that I'm not miserable 24/7 this fall season again.

I used my Clear Portland Internet to find some contact info on allergy specialists in my area because I've never really visited one before.

As for my looks, I'm going to stock up on some serious concealer that has light-reflecting stuff in it so that my allergies won't be oh so obvious. Besides, I've always found that with the right makeup products and application, you can fake a good night of rest quite well, or a lack of allergies in this case.

Boxing my new love!


I was training with some of my personal training clients on a new speed bag which they really enjoyed.  We had a great work out; adding in some boxing really makes things a little more interesting.  I have been adding more boxing with my clients; it’s a nice way to work the upper body, while at the same time working the lower body, especially when you’re throwing those mean right hooks!

I really notice having a good pair of gloves while punching the speed bag or heavy bag helps.  Good gloves can add comfort as well as keeping my clients knuckles from getting ripped up.  I have also found using a hand wrap or taping up my clients wrist can add stability and help them to avoid injury.  I really hope more people incorporate boxing into their work out routines like I have.
