Tips of setting goals and keeping them!

Setting goals is easier said then done! But here are my tips on achieving your goals! My goal right now is getting my hips down to 36 inches so I can go to New York to model! Crazy I know but i'm crazy so it makes sense :P

1. Goal board!! I recently made a goal board on my wall in my bedroom. Right next to my door so whenever I leave I can see it and get motivated!

2. Watch videos of what your goals are! My recent goal is becoming a model and losing 5 inches off my hips. I've been non-stop watching model videos of interviews from backstage of Cara Delevingne, Karlie Kloss, Joan Smalls, Jourdan Dunn, and so many more! I've got to see what they do backstage and it's really encouraging me to stay to my goals!!!!

3. Focus on what matters! What does this goal mean to you and why do you want to do it!

4. Set a timeline for this goal if needed. I'm trying to get my hips down to a 36 by the first week in April!

5. Do something everyday to achieve this goal! For me I've been eating heathy and working out! Trying to get to the gym every day for at least a 30 mins on the treadmill!

6. Visualize everyday what the outcome of this goal will be!!! For me it's becoming a top model and going to New York, London, Paris, and Milan for runway shows and to do amazing beautiful editorials for major magazines!

7. It's good to have long time goals but also have short time goals!! Don't forget to reward yourself for them! I'm not allowing myself to buy anything major till I start shedding the hip weight! When I get to a 38 I'm buying myself a new pair of heels...I'm obsessed with shoes...

8. TAKE ACTION! Go out and achieve your goals now!!! Make a plan and go!!! Gogogogogo!!! Woo!

So don't forget to be a goal digger ;) Do it!

Best wishes!!!!
Lots of Love,

DIY : Body Wrap (Budget friendly!)

         This week I've been trying so hard to be on a heath kick and try to get my body back into shape. I'm going to be starting back with my workouts, healthy eating and something new, yoga! Personally I really want to get back in shape so I can model again. It's so important to make connections in the fashion industry and with working with designers side by side while modeling I'll get an instant in. So when I'm out of college and looking for a job to start out I can work with them, hopefully!

I was looking through Pinterest the other day I came across a pin called body wraps. I know from watching Red Carpet reports that celebrities do body wraps before premiers to get rid of excess body weight/water. I figured I try it out! 

This was very wallet friendly and I had everything in my house already! 

Things you need...

-lotion (it's said to use one with ingredient from the ocean. So things like kelp, seaweed is a big one, and mud) I used one from The Body Shop! I love their products because they are paraben free! All natural! So your taking away bad toxins in your body and still are by using an all natural lotion.

-Plastic Wrap

-Ace Bandages 

Step 1!

Gently rub lotion on your "problem area". Today's target...the stomach. Don't rub it in all the way!!! 

Step 2! 

Wrap the plastic wrap around your body. Don't wrap it tight!!! You wont be able to breath if you do that!

Step 3!

Wrap the ace bandage around your body. You want to make sure you wrap it tight enough for it to stay but loose enough to breath!!!! 

Alright! Now your ready to go to sleep!! In the morning unwrap yourself and see the results!!! You have to remember that your body nautally releases unwanted gasses from your body when your asleep so that helps as well!

Here are my results! I did it two days in a row to see if it made a difference! 

As you can see day 2 I gained back the weight but lose even more. It's not going to help you drop weight like flies but it if you have an event or going to the beach and want to look good for the summer without having to workout (the lazy way!) I'd definitely suggest trying it out!!! If you do let me know! Tweet at me! @ElizzabethHope
