“You are lazy.” First hurtful comment I’ve had left on the blog and it stuck with me. Honestly, it totally shocked me. I still think about that comment from day-to-day. At first, I let it fester and even control my thoughts, but in the end it has been a blessing in disguise. Those three little words changed the way I look at the blog and myself. I didn’t delete that comment, but instead left it sitting where I can see it. And when I want to kick some major booty, I read it and get even more motivated.
But the word “lazy” made me think. Am I actually lazy? What am I doing that I can change, how can I get more motivated each and every day, what am I overlooking, what really needs to shape up? The normal every day things that race through your mind as I’m washing my hair or driving to a meeting on Monday morning. I tend to think about these things a lot. I’m sure you do too.
Are you lazy in any aspect of your life? Can you change it? Maybe it’s your career, workout, schedule, relationship. I am a firm believer in speak it and believe it. So start speaking what you want to see change and believe it will.
One change I’m consciously making is being more active every single day. So easy to feel lazy when the end of the day rolls around and just skip out on doing something that is not only healthy but also allocating time to clear my head. A little me time.
Tonic has been the perfect fit for my active yet stylish lifestyle. Photographed wearing all new 2015 Tonic, the Vigour Jacket from the Tennis Collection by Martina Hingis is perfect for a woman on the go. Made of a lightweight and socially responsible jersey with wicking and moisture properties, you will love the feel and the fit. The entire fall collection is pretty fabulous with lots of color choices, styles, and carefully thought design. I paired my jacket with the Crane Bralette, (my favorite sports bra from the Tonic Collection, love the back detail and the length) under the Elements Surge Tank, & my Curve Shorts.
Links to shop these looks are listed below. Feel free to share what changes you are actively making in the comment section or if you are a fan of Tonic, what pieces are your favorite and why? Enjoy! XO Tamara

I cannot believe anyone would call you lazy! You are impossibly in shape and your photos and look are consistently gorgeous and this post is no exception. I love the jacket and the hat. I am in search of a good hat this may be the winner.

You look so chic! And you look amazingly gorgeous! I definitely have my lazy days, but I’ve been back in the mode of work out almost every night, even if just for 30 minutes, to release any stress!
