Day 1- Of the Love Your Life Challenge


Today we are going to write a list organizing our week. Good time management is crucial. If you organize your mind you won’t be easily stressed.
Think about everything you need/want to fit into your week:
My list-
1.Exercise- I want to train 4 times a week
2.Shopping- Groceries, Errands
3.Spending time with the kids- I have 2 kids under 3 so at the moment one word DEMANDING!
4.Me time-I do my beauty regime. It's a small thing that you can do that just makes you feel good and you're looking after yourself.
5.Work- As Bra Queen I wear many hats so my work is never actually complete. I need to prioritize my work according to my deadlines.
6.Partner time-Every night I try to make time for one hour where I can just sit with Chris and well I was going to say chat but mostly it’s me chatting and him listening (maybe he’s listening)
7.Housework- I do 1 major clean a week then just bits in between.

My biggest aim is to try to enjoy and embrace everyday.

There is heaps of other “stuff” I need to do but I can work them in to wherever and obviously it’s changes week to week.

Mine is going to be as follows:

Monday- I like making sure I exercise on a Monday because it prepares and motivates me for the week. I also prepare my working week everything I need to do. Washing is usually on the list after the weekend! The girls sleep at 1pm and this is when I work. I usually iron once the girls go down at 7pm.

Tuesday- Is my exercise, work & spend time with the girls day. I go for my walk then on the way home I go the park so Maddison can have a run around as well. I work in the morning then again when the girls go down at 1pm. The rest of the time I try to spend being as proactive with the girls as possible as it is really our only day that we are not running around like mad people.

Wednesday- I work and I also look after Maddie’s boyfriend. Maddison isn’t in care I think it’s important that she still interacts with kids her own age.

Thursday- Is my housework day, grocery shopping day and work day. So this is a pretty crazy day for the girls and I it’s a bit of a whirlwind day. But I like to be super organized for the weekend.

Friday- Is me day! YAY, the girls are with Nan and Pa by half 9. This is where I spend ½ hour on ME doing my weekly beauty regime, then I work, work, work until the girls get home at 5pm.
Friday night once the girls are in bed at 7pm our “thing” is to sit down with a yummy cheese platter and have a drink together and chill out.

I encourage you to just do something nice at the end of the week with your partner, just so you can relax and have a laugh together. If you don’t have a partner do something you enjoy or spend it with someone who makes you feel good.

Weekends my checklist is done, except exercise so at least 1 workout is needed. But other then that I am sorted!


How did you go, did you fit everything in?

This weeks PRIZES Include-
* A luxurious treatment Oceana Day Spa,
* SPROUT The Life You Love ,

AreYou Ready?

Today I just want to say this-

You HAVE to make the decision to BE 100% because

Unless your heart, your soul, and your whole being are behind every decision you make, the words from your mouth will be empty, and each action will be meaningless. Truth, honesty and confidence are the roots of happiness...
Trust that if you enjoy something that is what matters and as soon as you don’t stop and reassess. Follow your heart and you will be making the right decision it is that simple.

I trust you and I believe in you.
Make that commitment to BE 100% YOU xxx

We start Love Your Life on Monday! Bring it on!!!

Some days will be easier then others and some days through out the challenge may benefit you more, I encourage you to be persistent and consistent everyday!

GIVEAWAYS WILL BE HANDED OUT EVERY WEEK TO THOSE WHO ARE SHARING THEIR STORIES AND PROGRESS BY COMMENTING IN THE COMMENTS SECTION ON EACH POST.
2 MAJOR PRIZES WILL BE GIVEN OUT IN THE LAST WEEK.

Over All- 2/10
Bra Queen's Comments-For a brand that is renowned for it's quality this bra is very flimsy the quality is terrible. It is quite a small make as well. The straps are far to thin for the quality of the bra so you have no support what so ever. Ridiculously over priced for the quality of this bra.

Bra Queen's Comments- This bra is really pretty. It is well made and the quality is really good and it has a good shape. It does give your boobs a 50's look. So if you like your breasts out there then this bra is for you.

Bra Review- Calvin Klein


Calvin Klein Push-Up Balconette
Cost- $79.95
Lift- 8/10
Separation- 5/10
Quality- 9/10
Shape- 8/10
Material- 8/10
Appearance- 9/10

Over All- 6/10

Bra Queen’s Comments- I am ALWAYS asked about a good push up bra, so I am eager to find good ones. The quality of this bra was good and it did create a lovely round shape breast HOWEVER the cups are too close together so this bra will be VERY uncomfortable for you to wear. They are trying to define breast and push them close together but in doing so the bra ends up cutting into you. For the price I like you can do better.


Calvin Klein Cotton Contour
Cost- $69.95
Lift- 6/10
Separation- 6/10
Quality- 8/10
Shape- 4/10
Material- 8/10
Appearance- 9/10

Over All- 5/10

Bra Queen’s Comments-I was hopeful that this bra would be great because I have recently been on the hunt for a cotton balconette bra for a client. Sadly No, considering CK bras are for smaller cups this bra is WAY too long in the cup so it leaves the shape and therefore you looking totally wrong!

Material- 3/10

Bra Queen's Comments-The tops of the cups are flimsy but not because that cup is too big but because there is just something not right with the mold of the bra.

Bra Queen's Comments- This looks OK and the quality isn't too bad. It looks and feels like a sports bra without the support. The straps are too wide for the size of the bra it's not in proportion at all.

Bra Queen's Comments-The appearance and quality of this bra is just amazing however it is a bad shape, so I thumbs down from me. For $135- you should be getting a great shape. You have to wonder what it does look like on when you can't even find a model wearing it, even on the sites that stock it?
