AB Blast!

You will be sore for days after this ab workout! At least I was..(and still am). For the hanging abs, use your resources, if you don't have access to anything you can hold on to, use a captains chair or a stability ball or do mountain climbers and more leg raises instead.

Run: 2 miles on treadmill speed 6.5+

2 sets for the following:
50 crunches
50 Oblique crunches
30 Leg raises
Hanging abs (knees bent, and legs extended) 20 each (these tire me out so I did 4 sets of 10 total)
10 Pikes on stability ball

Don't forget to stretch after! :)

DIY Sharpie Mug

Let's get crafty!

I got a pack of sharpies on Black Friday last year and I wanted to display them in a mug so their easy to access (and they look pretty too) anyway, I could not find a mug with the right quote on it, size, ect. so I decided to make my own.

This technique is really simple and I actually used it for my chalkboard at my wedding as well (wedding blog coming soon!) 

What you need:

White Mug

Image/quote of choice

pencil

tape

Sharpie (I used black)

Step 1

Cut out your image so it is the size that will fit your mug best. 

Step 2

Shade the back side of the image with pencil, make sure not to miss any spots.

Step 3

Tape the image with the penciled side on the mug.

Step 4

Trace over the letters with either a pencil or a pen. I went over mine several times to make sure it transferred.

Step 5

Remove image and it should be traced to the mug with pencil

Step 6

Fill in with the sharpie

Step 7

Wait at least 24 hours before placing mug in oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. This helps seal the image in the mug.

End results!

If your planning on using a sharpie mug for beverages, do not place in the dishwasher and try not to was over the sharpie, just in case it decides to fade or come off completely! 

If you mess up with the sharpie, take some rubbing alcohol to remove it.
