Leg Envy

I have massive leg envy right now for a Victoria's Secret model called Candace Swanepoel. I saw some photos of her modelling at the launch of the Incredible Bra and thought, "I wish I had those legs!".

Here are some photos taken from www.theskinnywebsite.com.



Ok so she's around 5ft 9" and I'm only 5ft 1.5" which means having legs like these is pretty much impossible but I can only wish.

Do you have any body part envy? That sounds strange doesn't it? But I mean a part of someone's body you would love to have if you could have your 'ideal' body?

26. Under The Sea - Update

Sorry I've been so rubbish with updating my blog. I've just completed on my first property so it's all hands on arranging carpet fitting, flooring and buying beds and other housey type items. I'm trying not to turn into one of those boring people that blarr on all the time about house stuff so this blog is strictly forbidden with any talk of that!

I wanted to write an update on the sea kelp tablets, incase anyone is interested (serious lack of comments on my previous post so I hope this isn't boring?!). Anyway, weight loss wise I haven't noticed any drastic results and to be honest I haven't seen any improvements in the condition of my hair or nails. But I was talking to my friend who said that you have to wait around 6 weeks to see any results so we'll see. And the tablets only cost about £1.50 for 90 (300mg in strength) so they're not breaking the bank.

I have a couple of blog entries I'd like to write about so I just need to set aside some time! I will be better at updating in the coming weeks.

25. Under The Sea

I'm talking about sea weed and in particular sea kelp. I learnt today that sea kelp can improve the condition of your skin, hair and nails and also aid weight loss. I don't know how I haven't heard of sea kelp before because I've heard of most herbal style concoctions/tablets that claim to aid weight loss but not this one.


I'm not overweight but my weight can fluctuate 5 pounds up and down and as I'm only 5"2 and a size 8, I can feel a big change when I'm at my "largest". I hate it when my clothes feel that bit tighter. I think I wrote on a previous post that I'm a smaller person stuck inside an obese body and sometimes my obese side gets the better of me! I'm blaming Easter as all the chocolate somehow trained my body into craving more and more. Bad times.

So, I'm at what I would call my "largest" which is 5 pounds heavier than my smallest and preferred weight. I usually cut out most snacky foods and try to eat less at work and for dinner. Combining this with my normal gym routine usually sorts my few weeks of reckless eating out.

Now I've read a lot on the internet about sea kelp; some people swear by it, some people claim nothing happens, some people experience side effects such as tummy upsets so I'm going to try it out and see if anything happens! I'm planning on taking the tablets for 1 month from today and after that, I'll let you know my thoughts and hopefully results.

I'm not taking sea kelp purely for the supposed weight loss effects but my hair is fine and my nails always seem to split so I'm interested to see if there are any improvements on this front.

Have you taken sea kelp? Do you have any thoughts on it's effects?

P.S Tablet number one taken and it smells like the sea. Pleasant!
