Quick stretch with me + a few health benefits by doing dance-Dance Saturday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,

 Today I am going to be showing you a stretching routine that you can do in your room quickly after homework. This routine should take approximately 10  minutes and if you do it regularly, you should be keeping up your flexibility. As well as showing you guys some stretches, I am also going to be sharing with you some health benefits by doing dance. Hope you enjoy!

For this stretching session, I used the Capezio slip on jazz shoes but you can do it with socks on or barefoot.




Dance can improve your mental health by putting a boost on your overall happiness. It also allows you to express yourself and release your emotions.



Dance helps to improve your co-ordination, core strength, and flexibility. Things like co-ordination skills are needed when you are doing jazz turns or pirouettes.



Dance can improve your cardiovascular health as well as improving your overall stamina. At school in dance, we do a lot of running around the studio and cardio exercises which all improves your stamina.



Dance also helps to strengthen your bones and muscles which reduces the chance of obtaining any related illnesses.



Dance is a calm exercise that you can do to relieve stress. On stressful days, I found that dance really helped me to relax.



Dance can also boost your confidence and improve your overall outlook on life.



I also found that dance really helped to improve my concentration. In dance you really have to concentrate on what you're doing in order to grasp the routine.


What does dance help you with? Dance really helps me to express my thoughts and feelings and to let loose and just be myself. Let me know yourn suggestions in the comments below, I ♡ hearing from you!

See you on Monday for another lifestyle post,

Bye,

XOX, Juliette

Week 1 update - My Portugal Holiday

By -

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, After a swift flight to Portugal, we arrived at Porto Airport. We got our luggage, went through security, and got a shuttle to the nearby car hire place. The shuttle, or should I say mini bus, was 1 minute long. Good thing too, because I could not find my seat belt and neither could my mum. It seemed like it was ripped out of its place. However, the driver was really nice and I was luckily because it was not  too rough on the road.  When we arrived at the car hire place, we were greeted by a nice worker, who got down my parents details and driving licences and even wrote his name in Japanese. We mentioned where we were from and how my mum was French and how my dad was half Japanese, half English. That's why he showed us that he could write his name in Japanese. He even recognised that my dad's name, Hideaki, meant the mountains and the sun in Japanese. I know, its quite cringey, but also really cool that he managed to r

Oti and Kelvin's epic Samba and Will and Janette's insane quickstep on week 1- Dance Saturday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Last Saturday, I watched the first episode of Strictly Come Dancing, 2019! I can't believe how amazing each couple was. For week 1, it was definitely like watching an episode at week 8.  In Kelvin and Oti's samba, Kelvin really maintained great technique, and I think that was what made him have the highest score of the day. For a male to be good at samba they must keep up with the beat of the music because in the samba, you really have to be able to move your hips. I think that was what he was good at doing and it was clear to see because he kept up with Oti. He also had excellent musicality and rhythm during his samba basic and walks. What I would correct is his hand placement, like Craig said because when he was exchanging arms with Oti, his hands were slightly splayed. However, other than that, his performance really looked professional and I think the whole audience was surprised by this dance. BBC Strictly Come

Blogmas day 4- decorating the Christmas tree-what a nightmare!⛄🌲

Hello Jujubears and welcome back to another blogmas post, Today I will be talking about what a nightmare it was putting up the tree. Before we get on to the blog post, make sure you are following me to get up to date with my life! I am sure the Jujubear fam will accept you! Now let's get on to the blog post.👉 Our house has basically been a building site. We had no idea that getting an extension could be this stressful. Though we got our floor installed so we could finally get a tree! This time a big tree which we could not get in the past. It was such a nightmare though because the stand for the tree wouldn't work so it took us a whopping two hours to actually get the tree standing. However, we finally managed to and we listened to Michael Bublé  and other Christmas artist whilst decorating the tree. For more amazing pictures like this, check out my instagram📷-  https://www.instagram.com/jujupage1/ How long did it take roughly to put up your Christmas tree

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  Monday 19th March I don't know why but, I couldn't be bothered to get up. I just wanted the week end to continue but being a 13 year old, I needed to go to school. So I woke up at around ten to seven (I know, EARLY!) and watched some YouTube. I love watching Sophdoesnails and Anastasia's vlogs at the moment. If you have not heard of them, you must check them out because their videos are really good. At around seven am, I went downstairs and had my breakfast. It was porridge with frozen berries which was nice. I had that with a cup of tea because ya know, ya girl was tired!  Then I did the usual things to get ready for school like ironing my top,making my lunch and packing my bag. At 8:20, I was out the door.👉  I'm very surprised! Anyone who knows me will know that I am not the best at maths. It took me 5 years to get out of bottom set maths! However, on Monday, I got this thing called a teachers award for my ma
