Hello Miss Niki Blogs

See what I did there in the title… Lats… Back Day…. Get it? Okay – so bad puns are my thing. Moving on… Back Day!!! It’s become one of my favorite days at the gym! I train back and biceps the same day, and once I started perfecting my form and understanding what works best for me, it’s been great! I always feel like it’s my most successful day at the gym and makes me feel like I crushed my…

Alright – so I’ve started something new, and even though it’s small, I’m having lots of fun! While I love and adore beauty, my focus has been health and fitness these days.

So I had this post all ready to go a few weeks ago, and then I discovered a few new hair products that I became obsessed with! Over the past year, I’ve truly embraced my curls.

While I love my curls, I feel like finding the right products is an ongoing battle. What’s good for my…

Workout Wednesday: Workin' the Glutes!

GLUTES! If there’s something I need help with, it’s glutes! I have, what my husband likes to call, a Shovel Butt. You know… like those flat shovels with an ever so slight curve at the bottom. Yeah – I can’t even argue with him. It’s flat… it always has been, and it has been the butt of many jokes (no pun intended). So one muscle group that I really enjoy working is my arse, for two reasons…

There I was, browsing through the Target Spring Beauty Preview, closely studying all the glorious products that were about to hit stores. Carla (Fashion.Maven.Mommy) and I admire all the Pixi Beauty products on display and then it happened! I stopped… dead in my tracks, as I fixated my gaze upon the Pixi Beauty Glow-y Gossamer Duos. They glistened under the lights. I dropped my bag and phone as I…
