Pregnancy Outfits from the Last Few Weeks
I have totally neglected taking outfit photos like I used to. When I do have extra time in the morning before I leave for work, I find myself sitting down to watch the Today Show instead of snapping outfit shots. I also couldn't do outfit shots for awhile (in the morning or at night) because it was really dark outside and I didn't have the ...
It’s a…
GIRL!!!!!!! Can you believe it?! No one is more surprised than I am. My husband has said from the start that we would have a girl and I was convinced baby was a boy (so much so that I didn't even look at girl clothes or anything girly during my pregnancy thus far). My reasoning? I am so girly, I must be having a boy. I don't know ...
Mary Kay Skincare & Makeup Reviews & Giveaway!
I remember getting Mary Kay catalogs in the mail when I was younger. As I grew up and became interested in beauty and skincare products, I'll admit I never really thought about Mary Kay. It just wasn't on my radar anymore (out of sight, out of mind, I suppose). (the latest Mary Kay catalog)Through BlogHer, I was able to get reintroduced to the ...
Pregnancy Skin Care: My Updated Skincare Routine
Before we started trying to conceive, I stopped taking antibiotics for my acne (I had only used them for about 2 months or a little less---you can read about that here).

16 Weeks!
Week 16 went well. I still haven't gotten back into working out, but I cleaned my house this weekend---so that counts as a workout, right? How far along? 16 weeks Total weight gain/loss: I have gained a total of 4 lbs so far. My OBGYN told me I should aim for 20 lbs total for the entire pregnancy, which seems low, so ...
