I am going to be real with you guys – bloggers get sent a LOT of free stuff. Some of you have probably seen the big bloggers or You-tuber’s videos where they show product ‘unboxing’ of all the free stuff they receive. Now, I am by no means a ‘big’ blogger but I still get sent a decent amount of skincare and beauty products to try on a regular basis. This can be fun because I get to try out products and share with you guys the ones I really love and actually end up using on a regular basis. This post is a round up of all my April beauty favorites that I am using (and that are working!). And some of these products you may have heard me talk about before so if so – I’m sorry for repeating myself, it just means it is THAT good!
Instagram Recently
Happy Monday ladies! I wanted to share a roundup of some Instagram trendy outfits I’ve been wearing lately to give you some inspo to start off the week. I pull a lot of my outfit inspiration from other bloggers so I always appreciate it when they take the time out to give more details.
Have you guys seen ‘those cat-eye’ sunglasses every Insta blogger seems to have these days? The ones I am wearing in the photo above are SO similar but a fraction of the price. I wanted to try out the style but wasn’t sure if I would love it on my so I didn’t really want to spend $100 – ya feel me?! I got the ones I am wearing off of Amazon for under $12 I think – and they come in like a million colors. Check them out here. My hat is from Anthropologie last year but this L*Space one is under $33 and almost identical.
Balancing ‘It All’ | Being a Mom – Blogger
Working full time, running a blog, and being a mom can be downright exhausting at times. Sometimes so much so that I just feel like I want to quit everything and run away. Live on the beach on an island somewhere with just me and my baby boy. LOL. The dream, right?! I am sure any of you mama’s out there know how tough it can be at times. And as a new mom you are also struggling with keeping up with YOUR identity – who WAS I before I had a baby? And not to mention the constant ‘mom guilt’ that can come up now and again. Why do I need to feel guilty if I want to go have a drink with my girlfriends? Or if I want to go shopping by myself for an hour or two? It goes on and on – I think you are getting the drift. Balancing ‘it all’ can be tough and quite the emotional roller coaster at times but it can also be worth it.
3 Shoes You Need This Spring
Are you guys so ready for spring, or what? I know my babes on the East Coast and the Midwest have BEEN ready. Shoot, I am ready and here in San Diego our weather is pretty mild year round. I think I am just ready for more spring fashion; shoulders out, a little glowing tan, and of course – fun shoes!
These are the THREE must have shoes you need for spring this year. I tried to link some splurge and save options – which BTW Target is literally killing the fashion game right now. I’m always so excited when I find something I am obsessed with and realize it’s from good old Tar-jay.
Accessorize Your Way Out of an Outfit Rut
Happy Monday babes! I wanted to start this week off with a fresh OOTD post for you guys. Hopefully this post will inspire you to pull some stuff out of your closet and recycle it into a new outfit. You don’t always have to buy something new to look and feel cute. In fact – I’ve been wearing these jeans for YEARS. I’ve found that by adding in new accessories you can switch up your look quite a bit. For this outfit throwing on a beret added a trendy little twist – and you may have noticed I’ve been a little beret obsessed lately. Case in point my recent post Bombers + Beret – I just can’t help it!
