Le fabulous Fab & Mr Hermès

You know those women that look really fantastic when they workout? Well, unfortunately I'm definitely not one of them! I've been going to personal training for a little while now, trying to get back into shape since Mr Charlie's arrival (another 5 kilos and I'll be happy .... and why is it always 5 kilos?).

The image of what I look like in my mind (fantasy) never seems to quite match up to what I inevitably see in the mirror (reality). I'm always a little gutted when I see my beetroot-red face in the mirror and hair that... well... just looks bloody bad! And don't get me started on the muffin top phenomenon!

So that being said, I avoid looking now... however it doesn't stop me from wondering why they put those stupid huge mirrors all throughout the gym??? I mean lets face it... who wants to see the likes of me heaving and staggering around in their peripheral vision whilst they're trying to work-out! Well, I know I certainly don't!

So the cause of my aforementioned condition is a Frenchman called Fabrice. Fabrice is a friend of my husband who owns his own personal training business here in Brisbane. He's so good at what he does that I think he's worth a mention for any of you readers out there that want a serious workout (he has a masters in sports science and I dare say will be training a professional sports team in the not too distant future).

Anyway, he might look nice & friendly (see below picture) but an hour with him and you'll be ready to hurl and stagger your tired gluteus maximus all the way home...

Fabrice Personal Training 

So whilst I was staggering walking through the city after my torture training session with the fabulous fab, I noticed that Brisbane now has a Hermes store (and if it's been there for ages, I make my point again that I've dumbed down a-hell-uv-a-lot since becoming a mum and tend not to notice things that have been staring me in the face for months!)

So good on you Brisbane! Oh and I also saw that Coco has sent Chanel our way also...!!!
