    Simple Post Partum

    jumpsuit – sold out (same style in different color) | shoes | cuff | clutch | sunnies | lipstick – Lily Hey y’all! I am so happy to share this post with y’all. This is my first “outfit” blog after I had Mercy! Sheeeewww, I didn’t think I’d see the day where I would wear regular clothes again but I am so stoked that the day is here. Although I miss my belly and wearing dresses to style the bump, jumpsuits have been on my mind for several months. I have been taking it easy at home for over a week and just living in comfy pjs.

    Placenta Encapsulation For the Win

    Now that the third trimester has finally ended, welcome to the fourth trimester! This one is all about mommy. Alongside dealing with body issues like post partum bleeding, cramping, sore and engorged boobs, you also have to worry abut maintaining your sanity. The next few months are crucial as a new or once again mom because they set the tone for YOU.

Before I started working with Beautycounter, I set myself up for failure by telling myself the typical responses that I hear from others on why I just couldn’t join as a consultant. “I don’t know that many people.” “I am…

    So you had a baby…

    Hey y’all! I planned on writing this during a night feeding with Mercy but she decided to sleep all night. I feel like I’ve hit the baby jackpot or maybe God just decided to give me a little break from crazy town for a bit. Either way, I am not complaining! My midwife has given Derrek and myself strict instructions that I need to stay in bed with her for a full week so, that’s what I am doing. I tend to jump right back into the swing of things after I have a baby but my body really needs the proper time to heal so I won’t miss things…
