Fit Friday

 

So lately I have been thinking of ways to make myself better. One of those ways is to stay fit. I am naturally petite so I normally don't ever workout. I don't walk around my neighborhood a lot mostly to get my kids out of the house.

 

Well I have been screaming about cutoff shorts and tank tops. I have been wondering about showing the side boobage under my tanks. I love Rihanna's look in this pic above. I need to get my legs & booty right for this stylish summer look. So I have decided to do the squat challenge!!!! Who wants to try it with me?? I will be starting on Monday & share my results on Fridays. Lets Get it!!!!

Hey Everyone!!! Sorry I went missing for a few days.........Again : ) lol. I definitely need a big regroup, revamp, and all the other redues I can do lol! I know I'm not the only woman that feels this way. Working full time, mom of two little boys, and a military spouse has my life busy in itself. I actually sit and think to myself what are you doing. Its the little task that start to add up in my day that's why I can never figure out where the time goes in my day even in my week. This post is definitely a catch up on my life type of post. This past weekend I was so tired from last week I spent it trying not to do much. Here are a few pics:

 My oldest son running around the yard under his new turtle sprinkler. He loves water.

 My baby and his cute chunky cheeks! Sitting back while we were outside at Yogurtland

Then later on that night my husband made a fire pit in our backyard. We made smores and just had a really great time talking!


Even though I needed the rest I really wish I would've took that time to actually do something more constructive. I tend to forget about myself a lot. So I have decided to give myself a two month goal of getting back to me. That goal doesn't mean that I will be together in two months but I will definitely be on the right path. I am trying to stop drinking soda for at least 30 days so now I have graduated to vitamin waters. I am addicted to the orange juice favor one. And while I was watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta part 3 reunion last Sunday I also tried a face mask. One of my BFF's told me about these cheap fast mask at Walmart. They are less than $2 so I was sketchy about it but I'm in love. I have REALLY dry skin so I got one that is for hydration. After I cleaned my face it felt so smooth and clean. I may start doing one of these mask once a week.

I will keep you posted on my improvement empowerment journey!
 

Stylish Mom

 

Last week I put up a birthday post about one of my best friends, and today I want to shout out my other bestie!!!! Happy Birthday Fe!!! I have known her since the 1st grade but I honestly I cant remember not knowing her LOL!!


This outfit above can easily be put together for a chic on the go look. Being a working mom of two boys I have to remember to be trendy but make it easy. This look is comfortable and spring-ish! Each piece is a staple and can be worn with many different looks out of your closet. I am so in love with the spring colors. The floral print pants go great with the lace detailed top. Throw on a chic white blazer, thong sandals, and cute bag.......you just cant go wrong! That cute updo style braid brings this chic modern look together even more!

Here is a little motivation for your Friday..........I know a lot of women especially with children whether you work or not, sometimes feel like they have lost themselves. Recently I have been so wrapped up with my children, my husband, and my full time job that I honestly forget to make time for myself. I enjoy my kids and husband but its always good to have that "me" time. I need to get back to the fashionable me and pick myself up. I want to start setting goals such as going to the  nail salon more, getting a better paying job, exercising, just anything that is going to make me feel good.

Here are a few tips on how to stay a stylish mom:

1. Get a wash & wear hairstyle- Working from home makes it so easy for me to not have to do anything to my hair during the week but that's no excuse. Get a style that doesn't involve much work because you may get so busy with your everyday life your hair will not matter lol. I enjoy styles that I can wash, blow dry, flat iron, and I can still put into cute updos like the one in the pic above.

2. Home Spa Time- Start buying products to do your own manis and pedis. Keep up with the latest nails polish trends.

3. Create a signature look- Of course every woman wants to be able to pull off a bunch of different styles and looks......but sometimes that is not possible. Pick a stable or essential item and stick with it. If you like blazers, rock blazers. If you like skirts, rock skirts. Keep up with the trends.

4. Simplify your makeup bag- I have not actually gotten into makeup like I want. Right now I do wear colored lip gloss and keep my skin moisturized.

5. Be prepared- I am going to start packing a bag and keeping it in my trunk for the boys. It will have diapers for my baby, changes of clothes for both of them, snacks, and other things I may need for them. Being prepared for them keeps me stress free therefore it makes me want to keep myself up....if that makes any sense LOL.

The biggest tip I can give is to accept your life. I am not where I want to be at my age but God makes no mistakes and he has your best interest at heart. So trust whatever you are going through its only a test whether its just busy with the kids, bad job, whatever just know you are not alone. Once you do that you wont have any problem keeping yourself stylish and feeling great!

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

What I Want Wednesday

 

OMG!!! Where have I been lol! I know I know! Have you ever felt like you have so much going on but you're not really sure what it all is? That's my life right now! I need to take a weekend vacation while doing nothing but making a schedule and resting. My energy level is below zero. I will be researching vitamins and healthy diets so I can regain my energy. I will keep you informed on my progress. I want more time for hobbies. Its possible I just have to use my time wisely instead of loosely like I've been doing.

 

I need a pick me up! So I recently took out my sew in hair and I have been thinking about getting a hair cut again. Help me decide!!!

 

The RiRi look below is very similar to my first hair cut I did back last year February. Its the uneven side bob. Should I go back this way?

 

Or should I go with the Taraji P. Henson cut? I love the long bangs!

 

 



Its Your Birthday!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NETALIHA!!!!

BIG birthday shout out to one of my best friends!!! A hard working stylish woman and mom! She werking this birthday outfit too! Neutral color dress with pops of color accessories.

This color is awesome on her. And everything for an affordable price at Target except the shoes. Patterned bottoms are everything this season and these cute jeans are HOT!!! Loving the touch of the collar necklace on a collar shirt......Fashion tips in pics!!!

 

Show my girl some love and leave some happy birthday comments : )

What I Want Wednesday

 

 

Hi Everyone!!!! Its time for "What I Want Wednesday"! So, this past weekend I went up to Lens Crafters, which is where I normally get my eyeglasses. I wanted to ask a general question.

 

Me: How much would the prescription lenses cost I brought in a $20 pair of sunglasses?

Salesperson: Your looking at about $180 to over $200.......

Me: WTH!!!! That makes no sense.

Salesperson: LOL I know right

 

So as you can tell I wont be doing that LOL! It will make much more sense to just buy a nice pair there and get the lenses put in there also. I have been wanting to get some sunglasses so bad I haven't worn shades since I cant even remember when. I would love to get contacts but it freaks me out to put things in my eyes.....I guess "I ain't about that life" hahahaha!!!

 

I am attached emotionally to the Ray Ban brand lol. I love the style of their frames. Here are a few I love! Help me pick out a pair.

 

Chic Comfy Weekend

 

Hi Fashionistas!!! Today I want to show you a cute look for spring that you can wear when running around during the weekend. Even if you don't dress like this on a regular this is a cute put together type of outfit that you can hang with the girls, date night, and lunch with kids. Chic but comfy enough to chase after your kids at a mall play area. Of course you would not really want to run but if you had to you would look fab doing so!

 

Stripes are very much a trend this year I believe. I love chiffon tops because even though it is long sleeves the thin fabric is great for good weather temps. Good weather for me is nothing above 80 degrees. Comfortable shorts can make any casual outfit effortlessly chic. Wedges are awesome if you don't normally wear heels but the low wedges are definitely a must have this season. I wanted to add a pop of color with that peach so it can brighten up all the neutral navy. I also threw in a color blocked bag. A lot of moms of smaller children dont like small bags so they end up throwing all they're items in the diaper bag to avoid bagage. I am starting to feel that since I carry a diaper bag for my youngest son, smaller handbags make me feel like less of a bag lady. So even with two bags I can still have my own style.
