You’ve Got to Work for it
“You might already know, there is no miracle anything for looking good. You must put in hours at the gym or some place similar to look good, there is no way around it,” Lima says. Half-hour running and riding around the park or in your own neighborhood, and she also some Crossfit classes (she just started that recently!) and frequent boxing lessons, to work for her, but she will tell you that finding any activity that you and a friend might enjoy is good as long as it has you moving around and getting your heart rate is exercise.
You Must Hydrate, Hydrate & Hydrate
The hydration process for Lima is two-fold. One, your complexion: “Fill your stomach with water to have nice skin!” As a plus, it takes away your craving for unhealthy snacking which starts when you are thirsty. “I drive a lot and doing thing such as– heading to the gym, doing errands, and transporting my children—it is easy to hit up a drive-through or grab some chips or something sweet from the corner store,” she says. “I like to keep a cooler filled with water and sliced fresh fruit in my ride so when i’m low on energy or need a snack, I have a quick fix instead.”
Dress the Skin You are In
A dab of moisturizing body cream or special oil along your mid section and obliques is fast complement to any crop top. “Consuming plenty of water will make you glow, but while you wear clothes that shows off some skin, I like to use moisturizers or body lotions with shimmer to keep it silky smooth,” she says this is a classy sun-kissed formulas. Eat yourself to beauty.
Jump Start Your Morning Metabolism

A cup of water
1/2 avocado
Honey to taste
Measurements are not set—blend to taste, adding more or less of each ingredient, as desired.
Add about a cup of cold water to the blender. Halve and pit a new avocado, then scoop out the middle of the avocado into the blender.
