Bikinis, Stretch Marks, and Baby Gut

-
As I prepare for vacation, I am trying to figure out what the heck I'm going to wear. You would think it would be simple for warm weather. It would be if we stayed in a warm climate where you can find swim suits and shorts all year around not a 2 to 4 season (if you stay in Michigan you understand that season thing). Plus, on top of that I just had a baby and I really need to figure out what I can actually fit! I went an pulled some stuff today and maybe I'll try it on tomorrow if there is time. It is official that we leave in a week and that I an underwire. But, I'm not worried as much as I thought I would be. While most women are trying to cover up due to the fact that some of your stuff still isn't back to where it was prior to your little ones arrival. I am proud of myself for this simple fact I'm not covering up shit! Why cause it's vacation!?!?!

My body has never truly been where I wanted it to be. It's always been a work in process and when I got close I got pregnant. But, I am proud of myself for the fact that no matter where I was at in my life with my body that when it came to vacation I showed it off! Why should I be uncomfortable? This is me and how could I enjoy myself if I was too worried with what I looked like? The times I had the most fun was when I didn't get a shit and had not a care in the world. So, being a new mommy why would I start now? Yes, my first son stretched the hell out of me thankful the second didn't do the same. He just lived in the prior renovation just fine. I wore a bikini on our first vacation with my first son and let me tell you no one looked at my body because they were too busy looking at my cute baby in tow. How's that for a perspective change? Also, a bikini was excellent for nursing while at the beach or pool side. And this time around my son will be 4 months while my first son was 7 months. Let that sink in on how my body is still looking under construction, still looking a little pregnant. But, guess what if my body was where I would "want" it to be I would still look a little pregnant due to all the good food I would be eating and the great drinks I would be sipping!

So, guess what I'm wearing my bikinis and crop tops cause damn it I'm on vacation! I just feel like this why should I be ashamed of my body? My body has created, carried, and birthed two lives! If that's not amazing I don't know what else is? I have more to say on that matter which I'll do in another post later. But, I will be rocking my bikini, stretch marks, and baby gut. Until next time loves!

Shea Moisture Shea Butter Vegan Lip Balm...Wait! Can We Talk?

Can we talk for a second? So, I just so happened to be on  Pinterest  and this picture of a lip balm crossed my screen. It was the  Shea Moisture Shea Butter Vegan Lip Balm  in Coconut & Hibiscus and African Water Mint & Ginger. Pause. I must get it... both flavors... I then check on Target & Walmart to see if I can get it in store. Yes, I can. I purchased it from my local Walmart and couldn't be any happier. Open it up apply it to my lips. What is that smell? The taste... What the heck is in this lip balm? Can I be honest for a second? I don't like it. Ok, don't get the pitch forks out just yet. I'm a Shea Moisture fanatic. Shea Moisture is always my go to, my wishlist, my it gets me every time Walgreen's has a bogo sale. But, here me out for a second. I don't like it for the following two reasons, it smells and tastes like castor oil to me. It has the faint smell of the Coconut & Hibiscus but the smell that overpowers everything else is t

Hello July: Well Wishes and Thoughts

Hello July and loves, I hope everything is well and July is being the best to you. We have officially made it through two birthdays and 4th of July. Bash's birthday was a success. Everyone had a good time. We were able to celebrate Sly's birthday with a impromptu BBQ. I'm a little disappointed that he had to cook on his birthday and not to mention I wasn't able to be much help because I had to work. We were able to enjoy everyone's company in coming together to celebrate life's moments and make memories. We literally drank for 5 days straight! Talk about a good time! Fourth of July was good because I got to see it through the eyes of my son who was finally old enough to see fireworks. He truly enjoyed it and I enjoyed seeing the excitement he had seeing them. July is our "busy" month I like to call it because it is a birthday every week and a party to celebrate every weekend. I was a little upset with myself because I didn't post anythi

Hello September

Hey Loves,  I do hope that everything is well with you all.  I hope your September is starting out well and your August ended the way you needed it to. August for me was definitely a very busy month. It started with a world wind of things going on. We were able to see and spend time with family which is always plus in my book and travel. Stories about that to come later. The start of September has been productive. I've started to throw things away and clean my house trying to prepare for the winter months to come. I'm not ready for it to get cold but it's coming. We celebrate my brother and nieces birthday. I was even enlisted to make Jell-O shots. That will be up on the channel for Cocktail Friday's this month. I'm glad Mercury is out of retrograde because maybe now I can get some things accomplished. For a brief period of time I felt like I couldn't complete anything. I am currently sitting on 6 videos that I need to edit to get up on the channel so,
