Time sure flys, let's catch up: Instagram Style

February, really? I cannot believe that January has come and gone. Mean Mr. Punxsutawney Phil predicted 6 more weeks of winter after seeing his shadow yesterday morning, which I’m pretty sure puts him on the naughty list for Christmas this year. I mean yeah, it’s early to be on the naughty list, but that was just rude! Surely I am not the only one ready for summer time, vacations, boats, & relaxation, right? Didn’t think so! Travel plans for 2017 are almost finalized and I’m ready to jump into some fun! Any big travel plans for you this year?

I feel like my last post back in January started out similar to this but I was seriously MIA from the blog last month and I’m very sorry everyone! Sometimes life has other plans & those plans kept me extremely busy with work, play, and everything in between! Since I was so absent recently from the blog, I really wanted to check in with everyone & give them a Basically Joy update. You know the usual stuff i.e. have an IG roundup, let you know what is coming up this month on Basically Joy, & just to say hey girl heeyyyyy!

                A large majority of my time this last month has been spent getting my rear handed to me with the workouts my friend/personal trainer, Delani, designed for me. If you haven’t yet, go check out her YouTube channel or Instagram for some great fitness tips, workouts, etc! In conjunction with Delani’s workouts, I am also finishing up the Dietbet hosted by Brandi Laughlin this upcoming week.  It has been so much fun & I always love the support I get from everyone that joins her Dietbets! My work outs have been going great but I really need to kick my diet into high gear this month – and that is the plan! Round 2 of “Delani Kicks my Butt” starts on Monday & strangely, I am looking forward to it! At the beginning of next month (MY BIRTHDAY MONTH), I am hoping to give my first update/results of how everything is going. I am excited and nervous to see what progress I’ve made with my body since I haven’t checked my body inches since I began the process! Fingers crossed everyone!

               This month on Basically Joy, I am planning on keeping up with all that life entails which also means several upcoming posts!  And what all will I be sharing this month you ask? Excellent question! A little bit of what will be happening this month includes some great recipes, some healthy & some maybe not so much, great deals on fashion, beauty reviews  from my January & February Ipsy glambags, & so much more! I do hope that January treated everyone well and that February does as well! Until we chat again, check out my IG roundup below & follow along with me on IG to stay up to date with all my fun!
