MEET AJ Odudu
Born to Nigerian parents, AJ (see blog here) grew up with her five brothers and two sisters in Lancashire (imagine how much she spends on presents through the whole year OMG, but apparently they're going for a secrent Santa this year to save everyone money - a good idea! hah). AJ studied English and Politics but is now a qualified personal trainer and sports nutritionist but alsoooo and most importantly she is a TV presenter and a DJ! Seems like she doesn't even have time to live, well actually she doesn't :D I spoke to her more than a month ago about this collab and she looked in her diary and gave me this date :D So yeah she was fully booked for over a month :D But that's a good thing, I really like people who work hard to become what they want, they are so inspiring...nothing happens on its own while you're just sitting on the sofa, your success doesn't drop down from the sky, you need to work your ass off for it!
Keep up the good work babe! x
FITNESS ???
1. Your fav smoothie? Energy Boosting Smoothie made with 2 large beetroots, 2 carrots, 1 small apple, peeled, a handful of spinach & ice. It's iron-rich and great if you're feeling a little depleted. 2. Fav exercise class? Body Pump in most gyms or Barry's Bootcamp in London. They're classes that incorporate exercises to sculpt, tone & strengthen the body and challenging for all fitness levels. 3. Stretching before or after workout? Static stretches should be done after your workout and a 5 min warm up should be done before each workout. 4. How much do you sleep? I personally don't sleep enough. 5-6 hours each night at most. Hopefully I'll get more beauty sleep ASAP :).
