Why Beautycounter?Why did I start selling something? I didn’t have to. It’s not like I applied for a job, and sent in my resume. Why in the world would anyone join a direct sales company? It’s scammy. It’s fake. It feels awkward. People are going to think that every time I talk to them, I’m going to ask them to buy something.Don’t tell me you haven’t had these thoughts in your head when you see your friends join a direct sales company. You know you try to skirt around certain situations…
Black is a staple in my wardrobe. I love color, too, don’t get me wrong. But black is just sleek, chic, and practical for anyone’s wardrobe. I feel like it’s the one color you can wear everyday, and it looks like a new outfit…even if it’s the same top every single day. No one knows somehow!My favorite black top for the spring weather right now is this off the shoulder blouse from Pink Blush. It’s casual and dressy all at the same time. It’s the chameleon of tops. Off the shoulder styles…
It’s here! It happens the same day every year, and yet it’s such a day to rejoice when it actually happens! Because on March 20th, we know that even if it’s still snowing, warmth is just around the corner. I like to treat the first day of spring like a holiday. Buy some flowers for the house. Go on a walk in flip flops and no jacket. Maybe start putting sweaters away. Take a look in my bathing suit drawer. Perhaps, go on a casual run/walk to feel like I’m getting in shape for shorts…
First of all, HAPPY ST. PATTY’S DAY!! You may be going out, drinking green beer, and wearing a shamrock on your cheek with beads around your neck. Definitely not what I’ll be doing, so I’ll be living vicariously through your adventures tonight! Maybe I’ll at least put a shamrock sticker on my cheek. Hallen would probably like to wear one at least. We’ll actually be celebrating Hazel’s one month “birthday.” Or rather…one month ago I pushed Hazel out of you know where au natural, so I deserve a little celebration! Maybe a glass…
So, I feel like I need to take a step back from my last post, and apologize. From comments that I received, even from friends, it felt like I made some of you need to defend yourselves with your growing families. That’s definitely NOT what I intended to do. I didn’t ever intend to make you feel bad if you had a rough transition from one to two children. I know it can be rough! A few of my friends said it correctly…we just need to be there for each other as women…empowering each other, and…
When you’re waiting on you’re baby to be born (who should have been here by now if she was on Hallen’s schedule), you go anywhere and everywhere to distract yourself! So, for me that’s usually shopping or walking around downtown. This outfit from Ingrid and Isabel is perfect for just going out and about, but feeling cute still (and not like a whale at 9 months). And I know I don’t look that big…everyone tells me I’m still so small, BUT it doesn’t change the fact that I feel like I have…

Do you feel like the last month of your pregnancy was more like another trimester? That’s how I’m feeling right now! I feel like I’ve been 37 weeks pregnant since Thanksgiving! And I’ve been walking and squatting so much that my knees, hips, and back have become the equivalent of a 90 year old’s, I’m sure.I can always count on Pink Blush Maternity to make me feel not 90, though! I figured this would be a great postpartum/nursing dress as well. I love it! And it’d been great for our 75…
