Fall Favorites
Hello Friends!!!! I’ve totally missed you guys! I know, I know…I’ve totally been MIA this month. Honestly, October is totally kicking my bootie. I am currently taking a class towards my dietetics degree, Psychology of Addiction. I am loving every minute, but it has been a HUGE balancing act between momming and studying. This is the first class in a long while that I can’t just whip out the assignments and quizzes with little to no studying. Combine that with a mobile 7-month-old who just wants to spend every minute playing with mom, my to-do list keeps getting longer and longer. Fortunately, I am not regretting one minute with Goob. …

Friday Favorites
This week’s Friday Favorites are all over the place. I’ve been spending the last 2 weeks driving to and from the hospital every day. So all of these items have been a lifesaver as I have been spending as much time with my dad as possible. He’ll have one more week of recovery at the hospital from his double bypass surgery and then he will be at my house for at least a week before he and mom head back home to Idaho. These first two items go hand-in-hand. The DULLA battery pack holds 4 charges for an iPhone X and has a flashlight built in. I also purchased…

Friday Faves
This week’s favorites are kind of an eclectic group; a little beauty, a little baby, a little fashion and a favorite food. Any way it’s sliced, these are favorites, have made my life either easier or happier or both. And let’s be honest…food, especially a new favorite food ALWAYS makes me happy! First up is dry shampoo, and let’s face it…dry shampoo is a product that people are very picky about. Either it gives too much texture, doesn’t suck up the oils enough, and/or it causes a white cast on your roots. I’ve tried just about every kind. The Triple Sec from Drybar was perfect in texture and oil control, but…

Friday Faves
This week’s faves have been kind of minimal. I started back at the gym this week, I’m hoping to be able to get back to my 9.15min mile by this summer. We will see though. I use to be a hardcore Mizuno running shoe gal, and those are amazing for trail running, but they are super heavy shoes. I’ve found that unless I am training for a long distance race, I prefer lighter weight running shoes. These Adidas Performance Women’s Edge Lux Running shoe has been amazing. The sole padding is plenty and the stretch around the ankle is enough for security, but not too much where it cuts off…

Dressing the Mom-Bod
Getting dressed isn’t always a fun adventure, especially if your body type isn’t the body type you want. Choosing clothes that look good and fit can feel like a chore. It has definitely caused me anxiety and discomfort a time or two. Jeans have been my arch nemesis over the years. It took me a long time to find the right fit and brand that is comfortable, durable and looks stylish on my body. For a long while, leggings were my go-to; but leggings aren’t a kosher option in most every situation other than running to and from school drop off/pick up and the gym. Let’s face it, leggings are amazing…

Friday Favorites
Athleisure has been my go-to attire since coming home from the hospital with Goob; since I spend most of my time lounging around with the new bebe and chasing after the other 3 amigos. I just can’t get enough of these Bench hoodies. I have this pink one and then I also have a turquoise one. They are lightweight and comfortable. Here I’ve paired the Bench hoodie with some Lululemon Street to Studio pants and Nike Air Max 90 sneakers. Two beauty products that I am living for at the moment have been the Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector and the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer. Both of these help me…

Spring ’18 Fashion Picks
Every spring I find myself purchasing a new pair of Arizona Birkenstocks. I wear them so often throughout the spring/summer/fall that they are pretty beaten and dead come winter. My pick for this spring are these Arizonas in the Metallic Anthracite Leather. Arizonas also run about 1-1.5 large on me. I usually wear a 7.5 and I size down to the 6-6.5 in Birkenstocks. Another shoe pick for this season is these Marc Fisher Annie Perforated Espadrille Platform Wedge in the color Sweet Nude Suede. They run true to size and are extremely comfortable. They look high and like they will kill your feet, but…
