I’m not artistic but painting is fun

Yesterday I made a special post about my recent fitness & health goal on becoming fitter by my 30th. After being sick this past week with either strep or a sinus infection (not really sure what it is) I have delayed my journey. I am going to keep working towards my goal, but my body needed a little break and I am okay with that. I am still eating healthy but I’m not doing the insanity workouts until I’m 100% better.

I never got a chance yesterday to share my experience from this past weekend at Arts Studio plus. A bunch of my friends and I celebrated my 30th with a painting class. I went into the class thinking I was going to fail because I am the least artistic person but I wanted to challenge myself to try something new.

Who knew painting could be so much fun??? There was wine so I guess that helped, but the night flew by.

When we first arrived, I’m not gonna lie I was a bit nervous and had no idea what to expect. The instructor was fabulous and guided us through step by step.

Here are some progress pics.

We were all so focused that at times I got up to check on everyone’s painting and to say hi. Then I would totally miss out on what the instructor was saying and have to ask my friend Danielle to tell me what to do next.

I really enjoyed the class though, and who would’ve known that my non-artistic self could actually make a forest look somewhat decent.

It also surprised me to see the guys paint some ridiculously good paintings as well. All in all it was a fun night and it felt great to step out of my comfort zone and try something new!

Yesterday I got to spend the day with my family. We did some shopping at Target and I also bought some workout clothes at Sweaty Betty

We even went for a nice walk on Greenwich Ave to enjoy the beautiful weather for once!

Ava thought it was fun to knock on all the stores doors. It was quite funny!

I hope you all have a great day ;)

Are you more artistic or more athletic?

Have you ever tried a painting class?
