I found an amazing way to stretch and get into the zone of belly dancing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0MiC4lYVjc. I've been using this video for the past year before I start any kind of aerobics or dance routine. Part two of the series is useful to begin practicing belly dancing.
Belly dancing is an amazing way to work out your abs while having fun! Just last year, browsing through the web, my friend and I came across this Spanish song, that I now use to get into the mood to belly dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y6nl7s6V3s.
Aside from this random Spanish song, there are tons of songs by Shakira, such as La Tortura and Hips Don't Lie as well as other music that you can dance to. The great thing about dancing is that as long as the music is great you can have a fabulous time burning those extra calories. Jump, do some jumping jacks, shake those hips and DANCE until your legs go into shock! If you're lucky enough to have a partner who can dance just as well, or who wants to learn a new dance form with you, why not try something together like jazz, hip hop, salsa, tango, and even just moving around to a video.
Embarrassing myself is part of the fun that I have while dancing. My mom or my dad come into the room and ask me if I've been possessed by a demon... but, it's all in good fun.
I danced, I laughed and cleaned a ton. I also ate some amazing food and made some healthy carrot, bran cupcakes. It was a spectacular day!
One of my neighbours is heading off to an old age home. She is a charming, wonderful person and has always called me Moon. For that, I am forever blessed by her presence in my life - she never let me forget that I am and always will be a kid.
My painting's almost done... about three more days of work.
I helped my mommy clean out the book shelves and such today. Wow, I found a lot of books that brought back some amazing memories. Enid Blyton short stories, anyone?
I baked a batch of healthy cupcakes: carrot bran with blueberries and of course, a hint of unhealthiness - the icing.
The mess, post cleaning the book shelf. This was the stuff on and around it.
Finally cleaned my paint brushes and paint set, although, it is still a disorganized MESS.
My very first Casio, I shall never forget you old friend. We had some good memories...
My sister's language book from grade 2. Yes, I was very bossy. :P
Tomorrow's Mantra: Avoid the crazy materialism and work on my novel :)!
