Wow….I just want to say thank you all SO much for all of the messages that I received on my last post. There are so many of you that are going thru the battle of infertility right alongside of us and I just want to say that I see you and I appreciate you sharing all of your stories with me. I know it’s not easy to talk about and for you to trust me means a lot. Sending you all love and if you ever need someone to talk to about it, I’m here. To those of you who…

Oof, it has been a while. To start off I wasn’t really sure that I planned on talking about this but last night I couldn’t sleep and I felt like I was being pushed to share so bear with me. I actually wrote the whole thing in my head as I laid in bed so we will see if that will translate to actually typing it out. I’ve really missed writing but have felt a bit of the comparison game set in so anytime I went to write something, I chickened out. So here we are ripping off the band-aid…

It’s finally summer and getting warm out, ayooo! Not going to lie, it’s been a heck of a month and a half-ish. In my last post I mentioned that I had been sick but it never really went away. I ended up at urgent care 3 times in May – twice to get some medicine to help how I was feeling and once because I had an allergic reaction to one of the medications. After finally feeling some relief and getting better from what ended up being pneumonia, we were hit with the vid. Luckily, Boston hasn’t tested positive but…

I’m currently writing this as I watch/judge the celebrities’ looks as they arrive to the Met Gala while I sit on my couch in sweatpants and an old sweatshirt…but I love it. I have a friend that is just as invested in seeing the looks as me so we just text and send Instagram messages back and forth talking about the hits and misses. It’s one of my favorite pastimes 😉 But anyways, I’ve read more books the past 3 weeks than I read all year last year. When it comes to reading, it kind of comes in phases, I…

Hi! The Springs Savings Event at Sephora starts tomorrow, 4/1 for Rouge members and there are some products that I’ve been using that I wanted to share in case you’re looking to try something new. There are also some things that I’ve been eyeing for a while that are going to be very tempting since this is the only time EVERYTHING is on sale until they run another sale in the Fall so I’ll share a couple of my wish list items, as well. First off, I have to start with my new favorite product. It’s one of those products…

Hi! I hope you’re doing well 🙂 It feels good to be back! Before I dive into the other few blog posts that I’ve been working on, I thought I’d do a quick life update. In September, college football season started! We are HUGE Michigan fans, if you didn’t know. So Anthony and I started off the first couple of weeks in Ann Arbor and it was a lot of fun. Not only did I grow up going to games because my Dad has had tickets since way before I was born but the Big House field is where Anthony…

So a few weeks ago, I had a dream that I shared one of my biggest insecurities here. I shared pictures and my feelings towards it. At first, I was unsure if I should talk about it because, was I really ready? Then I realized that I will never be “ready” but I started this blog to be real and to not filter my life or feelings so here we are… It has been over a year and a half since I gave birth and I am still learning to appreciate the new look of my body but mostly my…

I shared my quick makeup routine with you on Instagram and I wanted to make sure there was a place on my blog to check out those products more easily. So here’s a quick rundown for you! First off, is the Hourglass Veil Mineral primer. This is a super lightweight, easy to apply primer. Next up is one of my ALL TIME favorite products, the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation. I have used this for almost a year now and I love it! It is super easy to apply and just gives a light coverage for everyday.…

Woof…what a couple of weeks! I had a bad migraine for a few days and then after that Boston got sick so I’ve been just focusing on getting him better. But I wanted to quick share something that is very exciting for me… I applied for the Sephora Squad! For those of you who don’t know that is Sephora’s influencer program. They open up applications once a year and if you are accepted you will have a yearlong paid partnership with them. As most of you know, I LOVE makeup but this opportunity is even more than that. I would…
