How to Look Fly in No Time
Hey lady! I know just like me you want to look good and live an overall healthier life! I personally find it easier to spend time working out rather than eat healthy, because I am all about that carb life. In the past few months, I have met some amazing bloggers through the Boss Girl Creative podcast and community. One of those ladies is TJ Hadley from TJ Tells It! She was kind enough to put together an at-home workout for us, that ANYONE can do!

TJ also has a great healthy snack up on her blog! Make sure you check it out, it looks quite tasty!
I hope this helps you out! Don’t forget that you can always read a paragraph or two in between sets or listen to audio while working out! Keep working hard and you will look fly in no time!
PS. I’m not sure if fly is still a thing, maybe I should say fleek? I’m not sure. Have a great day!

Joy, you and TJ make a great team! You’ve got a combo of some of my faves here, too: running, reading and eating! (I’m overlooking the part about the squats and lunges, LOL) TJ’s pepitas recipe looks like a keeper. She had me at “lime.”
