Christchurch, New Zealand Visual Diary.

 

🛧🛧🛧

Day 1:

Wellington, NZ ---> Christchurch, NZ

Once we got off the plane we went straight to the Antarctic Center which is about a 5 minute walk! I definitely world recommend paying them a visit, it was so fun plus the huskies and penguins added extra cuteness o the trip!

Penguins at the Antarctic Center. 

Day 2:

We walked around and explored the views and little landmarks of Christchurch.

Flower Clock in Autumn





Quake City.


Day 3:

We payed the Christchurch museum a visit, it is bigger than I though it would be:D


One of the many rooms within the museum.

Our next stop for the day was the Botanic Gardens. OMW it was so pretty even in autumn! Most plants were still green but there would be pops of autumn leaves between them. It was cold so I definitely recommend taking a thick jacket. 


Our lunch picnic view.

The Greenhouse!

More Landmarks within the City.


Day 4:

The next day was our tour with Leisure Tours to Akaroa.









Exploring the city more.

Black Leather Mini Skirt Outfit Ideas.

 🛍 🛍 🛍

Recently I have found a gem in a thrift store!

A cute black leather mini skirt from Forever New and it inspired me to share with you a few outfit ideas on how you could style a black leather mini skirt.


Black on Black: 
A classic chic look that makes you look well put together with minimal effort. 
You could dress it up by adding a pair of heels or knee high boots.
Dress it down by wearing a cute pair of white shoes and secret or invisible socks. (Click here to see what invisible socks are)


Flowy blouse:
Pair a cute blouse that will go with your skirt. A white or black blouse, with a pop of colour, will make a good 'going out' outfit.


Basic Crew Neck Tee:
Style the leather mini skirt with a basic Crew Neck Tee and some of your favorite jewellery to create a casual everyday streetwear look.


Black and White:
Another classic favorite of mine is the black and white outfit combo. Add some jewellery to bring the whole outfit together.

Love Char.

Gardens Magic.





🛧🛧🛧

The gardens magic is a free for all event that is usually held every January in the Wellington botanical garden is held on different consecutive evenings all with different live entertainment and night lights! 
 




Bring along your own food and drink, a blanket would also be good idea, for the night to be extra enjoyable.
To reserve a seated spot I would recommend going early before the show starts as it can get crowded fast.






Don't be alarmed if you end up make a new friend at this event as most people are really friendly and want to make the most of this magical evening.


Love Char.

Free Workout Apps.

♥️ ♥️ ♥️

I love exercise because it helps me feels strong, happy and confident within my own body. 

However with Covid-19 happening it caused  most gyms to close and reopen all year round. This year has made me realize that you do not actually need gyms in order to stay in shape, you only need yourself, self-love and the right amount of motivation.

Over time I have discovered apps that allow you to workout at home and the best thing about them is that they are FREE so here are my 2 favorites!

1. FitOn App

I have stumbled upon this app in the beginning of this year and I have been using it ever since! There is a lot of different types of workouts, intensities and many different trainers such as Gabrielle Union, Christine Bullock, Cassey Ho, Vytas and Jeanette Jenkins which leaves you to discover what works best with you and your own body. They recently added meditations too!

You can also choose different workout plans like build muscle, reduce stress, prenatal fit, postnatal fit, stay toned, lose weight and be more active plans but you still have the freedom of controlling what you do yourself.

There is also a feature where you can search for a specific workout, time length, equipment, muscle group, intensity or even trainer to help you choose the best workout for your day. There are 3 intensity levels for different workouts which gives you the opportunity to choose which one to do depending on how you feel.

For premium users there is also different healthy recipes for you from breakfast all the way to dinner, including snacks!

There are challenges each month for you to join and loads of free advice to keep you going and learning more about fitness, nutrition and wellness. 

You can add and motivate your friends and family. There is even a FitOn party feature where you can video call while doing a workout to keep you connected to others and motivated.

If you would like there is also a feature of set "workout classes" to do at home! This is where a certain workout will be done at a specific time that you can join so you can plan your day around that or if you like the element of a class you would not have to miss it as much.


I highly recommend this app for at home workouts because it has so many things and makes working out fun!

Here is the link to the FitOn App.

2.Nike Training Club App.

I actually used this app before Covid and I loved it. Even though I haven't used it in awhile I still highly recommend.

It allows you to choose your own workout plan but you can also do what you want when you want. 

The exercises are split into workout focus, muscle group or even the type of equipment used.

 The exercises have different time ranges from short 5 minutes to as long as 47 minutes.

The workout focus includes endurance, mobility, strength and yoga workouts. The muscle groups are split into abs &core, arms & shoulders and glutes & legs.

 There is 3 equipment options where you can choose no equipment, basic equipment or full equipment. You can see how to do the workout before hand and even see what is coming up (or how far your next break is).

Here is a link to the Nike Training Club website.

Both of these apps are my go to apps to in order to get a free worthy workout. 

Do you have any free go to workout apps? I would love to hear what they are and maybe even try them out. 

Love Char.
