A Long Sabbatical...

Hello lovelies! It's been a while...

I took a long break from blogging to get married, advance my career, and drink more wine. A lot has changed, but I look forward to resuming where I left off (kinda). I apologize in advance if this turns into a mommy blog, because as of today I am 18 weeks pregnant!

Scott and I are thrilled to be welcoming our baby girl Sophie on January, 6th 2017. With all the excitement, comes some (no...a lot) of anxiety. In all transparency, I've turned into the biggest worrywart and my "carefree" attitude that was one of my defining features is no longer existent. My husband thinks I am going slightly crazy- and I don't blame him. I never dreamed I would worry so much about a little human that isn't even here yet. Should I vaccinate? Should I be worried about my vegan lifestyle? Should I use tea tree oil? What is up with Zika? Should I remain locked up in my house for the next 6 months? Excuse me, how much weight have I gained?! With this being my first pregnancy I know (hope) these are normal thoughts.

Anyway, I am excited to be back! The blog has been abandoned so hang tight here on the details. Looks like RewardStyle dropped me while on my "sabbatical", my URL was stolen, and I forgot how to HTML. But all is good and I'll get into the swing of things shortly, in the meantime check out a recent preggo selfie (I think this was 12 weeks):

Happy Friday!

In The Bag...

These are some of the products I swear by and all of the items can be found in my everyday make up bag!  With the changing of seasons, I like to switch it up to include warmer hues and dramatic colors. Contrast is the name of the game my friends!

This fall I am keeping my face dewy and my nails red.  How about you?

This Week's Lust Have: Cheetah Print Shoes

It's no secret that cheetah print is in. I am slowly warming up to this trend and can really only handle it in small doses.  My favorite way to subtly sport my cheetah is on my feet, I love how you can pair it with almost any style and color. Cheetah is the new black!

Shop the shoes from top going clockwise:

Do you rock cheetah on your feet?

On a Bad Day...

via

This week I had a lot of bad days. Life has been stressful and I have been neglecting you guys for lazy nights sulking in front of the TV watching Orange is the New Black. I am sorry. I will be better. But hell, it sure feels good sometimes not to do anything but watch mindless TV.

Anyway, check in next week! I will be introducing a new weekly series. Pretty exciting stuff, huh?

Have a happy and safe weekend friends!
