Current Summer Morning Routine This week, I originally planned to wake up at 5 am, but unconsciously turned off the alarm (every single day of the week.. I guess 5 am isn't happening yo). Alas I woke up at 6:45 am today. Nevertheless, I strive to start off the mornings well. Make it a Good Morning !~ While I brush my teeth, I boil a full kettle of water for my black coffee and freshly brewed passion fruit tea that I. and my family, can drink throughout the day. I don't know why, but drinking tea just makes the day a little better instantly. While I wait for the coffee grounds to steep, I try to do something productive. It rotates about these activites depending on how early I wake up and how I feel that particular morning: listen to podcasts (current favorites are The Smart Passive Income  and Ear Biscuits ) while checking my instagram feed read my daily devotional and have QT with God listen to edm unceunce music and do fasted cardio, pushups, pullups, ab wheels. Gen

EDC has completely slipped my mind this year,  until it popped up everywhere on social media. It's always fun seeing people's outfits and hair accessories. I think deciding on outfits is part of the excitement and anticipation for attending music festivals. And we all know that Edc bods are hashtag summer goals right? Anyways,  this year I didnt feel any sense of "fomo" except when I woke up this morning and read about Walter White (Bryan Cranston) ft Above & Beyond! This Breaking Bad fan is so peanut butter and jealous. That badassery must've been pretty awesome to witness. Ok, main point of this post. I love to tune into the livestreams during my workouts. I usually end up dancing along with the go-go dancers, djs, and attendees. Even though I'm not at the festival, and would probably never go to EDC, it is still entertaining to listen to the streams especially within the comforts of your house - clean bathrooms, comfy bed, water, food, ac, no traf

Darn, I'm trying to recap last weekend a week later.. I'm not sure why I haven't been able to sit myself down and reminisce with words. It's been a struggle haha. Regardless, Finally!! I am determine to finish this blog post. So, Saturday I had time to watch Youtube vids and play around with makeup:  Sarocha B Prom makeup  is what I attempted! Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of my attempt because lighting in a club is dark you see. Basically, my makeup was dark and sultry; typical girls' night out style of makeup. I had such a great moment dancing the night away and meeting new strangers  - MS54 [see what I did there, eyy haha]. However, I believe the best memory of the night may be when we left Create and right next to the exit was the glorious dirty dog stand. It is only after dancing for hours would I really ever consider buying hot dogs from the streets.. but live in the moment, and devour the experience I say! I was very ecstatic and content

On this day, I didn't feel like dressing up and just decided to stay casual. So I decided to make my gym apparel more exciting. I actually found this tribal print tank on sale at Pacsun , but it was a size too big. No big deal! Just wear a bandeau underneath, or in my case a sports bra, and knot it up on the side - make it knotty. heh heh I think this yoga pose is called the Toe Stand . Let me tell you, it was a bit of a challenge to keep my balance and does require concentration. But try it out, it's quite fun! ix. This pose kind of made me feel like a genie - "your wish is my command." ✨ A photo posted by DonutDiana (@rawrdianasaur) on Jun 11, 2015 at 4:19pm PDT

Is this dress purple or grey? haha I seriously had this conversation with someone when I wore this dress. But I think heather grey is what the official description would say :) This Rehab dress I found at Pacsun is one of my all-time favorite dresses. It's both casual and racy&sexy, all at the same time. I'm a sucker for lace knit. AND, this dress has a sweetheart cut with a see-through lacy, racer-back. Love, love, love it. You really have to see this uniqueness! The only "negative" aspect that I can think of this dress is that since the back is see-through lace, it's quite impossible to find a bra. But that's such an easy solution - free the nips, wear a bra with a bandeau, OR wear those silicone stick-on bras! viii. Who knew shadows on the wall could look insidious in the evening 😱👻 A photo posted by DonutDiana (@rawrdianasaur) on Jun 10, 2015 at 7:48pm PDT

oops time flies when you're having fun, being busy, and also stressing on the side But, I'm still taking my Pacsun ootd pics! These are just the past 4 outfits that I haven't updated onto my blog. I do feel a little vain taking pictures of my outfits. However, I'm also having a bit of fun coming up with simple outfits within the Pacsun parameter and being able to channel some creativity. It's also amusing to decide what angles, poses, and natural lighting I'm looking for that day. For example, lately it's been a bit gloomy and I've found that it's so much easier to take advantage of the lighting. Versus, when it's sunny, I have to see how the sunlight bounces off my face or creates weird shading. Heh, amateur photographer over here, if you can even label me that..

iii. sigh, boobs are slowly diminishing. Might as well grow a booty 🍑#itsgonnabeallmuscle. ps, Omg! went to #NTC workout today and did it fasted. It was awesome💪👍 A photo posted by AestheticDianasaurus (@rawrdianasaur) on Jun 3, 2015 at 11:04am PDT Today I forced myself to go fasted  NTC workout at my local 24 hour gym. And it was the best decision ever! The hour passed by so quickly, and just working out in a group environment motivated me to push strong throughout the whole workout. Amazeballs :D I will most definitely continue to attend the NTC classes, and as a matter of fact, I'm going to do most of my cardio seshes by gym classes. Today has proven to me that working out in a class setting encourages and uplifts me more than working out by myself. But weightlifting is a different story. I can push myself and encourage myself to be stronger and finish YO sets .

Ok! so I've been pretty stellar about my diet . The only thing processed I've been consuming is wheat bread, oatmeal, and protein powder. And absolutely no junk food eaten so far! haha I think when I was trying out IIFYM , I gave myself the liberty to eat some junk food saying, ahh all carbs are the same. But I think my body does appreciate more natural carbs from fruits instead. Regardless, it does make me feel fresher and filled more with vitality when I eat sources straight from the earth. Also! My current morning caffeine fix is the cold brewed black coffee!  I'm liking the convenience of not having to wait for water to boil, and the sweeter notes of the coffee as well. :)) Plus it's quite nice to sip on a cold coffee on a sunny day Sun Ended May with an awesome Squat Sunday and Legs session. Mon Noticed the gym is most definitely getting busier as the days are getting longer and summer is upon us. Had a pretty decent back workout after work, but was too l

Top : LAhearts from Pacsun Sandals & Necklace : Steve Madden This past weekend I did some spring cleaning and realized how much I have accumulated from Pacsun exclusively. SOO, I thought it'd be a fun challenge to see how many outfits I'll conjure with an article of clothing from them. I'm by no means fashionable, but I'd like to think that I know what appeals my body and makes me feel both comfortable and "heep." My style probably does embody someone with a casual, SoCal mindset. I am drawn to downplayed edginess or cutouts along with subtle details. In essence, I look like someone who tries more than she does, because in actuality she just throws on a piece almost effortlessly - attires from Pacsun make it seamless. Frankly, I think most pieces from Pacsun really elevate your wardrobe :)

so... last week, week 6,  was a week of sadness because I left my heart in Norcal. Unfortunately instead of going to the gym to squeeze out some endorphins, I lounged around eating hot cheetos and ice cream. my goodness, and I feel the effects of the junk food calories. Since I only have 6 more weeks til Hawaii and I really absolutely want abs, I need to crank out my workouts and tone down my diet. For the next 2 weeks, I'm going to just do good old fashioned " eating clean " and taking out all the junk food & processed foods. I don't think I have the patience and experimental mindset to test out iifym for now. And I also do not want to do a low carb-keto diet as of yet because I still want to eat my carbs, most especially fruits. We shall seee. Damn, I really want abs.
