THE BEST LEGGINGS FOR POST BABY

Happy Monday! The days are just flying by, but I love it. I recently received these Snapback Postpartum Leggings from preggoleggings.com and wow I can’t say enough good things about them!!! They are super high-waisted to help tighten the tummy, thighs and lift the booty. As a mama to a one year old, I still don’t feel completely content about my postpartum body. Pregnancy is amazing and our bodies are capable of growing a tiny ...

BEAUTY BABBLE// SEPHORA HAUL

I feel like I am always at Sephora picking something up; whether it’s something I need to refill or something new to try, I’m there often. I have known for a while now that IT Cosmetics is a great beauty brand, but I’m starting to obsess over their products. IT Cosmetics not only look good, but do good. Last week’s BEAUTY BABBLE, I talked about the Confidence in a Cream moisturizer. It’s truly is a life saver ...

STATEMENT SLEEVES

top// jeans// belt// mules// sunglasses// watch Love a good statement sleeve! This top is a simple t-shirt with the prettiest detail on the sleeves. It’s the perfect top for summer too!

I love all the girlie details and feminine touches added to this year’s style. It’s the perfect way ...

BEAUTY BABBLE// CONFIDENCE IN A CREAM

I tried this IT COSMETICS SUPER CREAM about a week and a half ago as a 100 point sample from Sephora. I loved the sample so much so I bought the normal size! This brand continues to impress me.

DIY DISTRESSED DENIM

It’s true, I have an unhealthy obsession with holes in my jeans. Most of my denim collection consists of distressed jeans. I do have some with no distressing. At my job we can’t wear jeans only, on days where the elementary school kids do (free dress days are the best days). When I can wear jeans at work, I wear jeans with no holes because I still want to look professional (a previous school I worked at allowed jeans, but none ...
