It’s a tough world out there for us, ladies.
On a regular weekend, we’re already up by 7am (which, by the way, should be totally illegal) to whip up some granola berry mix for breakfast. That’s before we trudge our way to the gym for an intensive hour-long session of panting, sweating and sometimes even – crying. To sum it up? Tortuous. And we haven’t even mentioned the fact that we’re somehow expected to doll ourselves up in time for brunch with the girls once the gym is done draining the life out of us. Side note to personal trainer – if you’re reading this, we love you.
