Who is loving this bell sleeve trend??  Kinda really loving it!    As you can see there are only two sizes left in this top, since it’s amazing BUT here are some other ones I found that are equally amazing.  HERE, HERE, HERE.

I wanted to share some tips to feeling and being more confident in yourself.  As girls, we sometimes have a hard time with this.  Especially with social media and everyones lives looking perfect, we get caught up in it, and forget the chaotic not so perfect lives behind the instagram quilt.

Listen, I am not perfect and guess what my life is crazy and I have days where I feel like shit.  I try to show behind the scenes on my snapchat so you can all see this.  

I have done these little things to help me feel better and snap out of it everyday.   

1. Don’t EVER compare yourself to anyone.  In the industry I am in, it is very hard not to do this for various reasons.    It will honestly get you no where, but feeling like shit.   Trust me, I have been there so many times and I am sure a lot of you have to.

Everyone is so different.  Don’t compare yourself to anyone.  It has left me feeling depressed, worthless and sad.   Especially when I was going through my postpartum after having Oaks.  I felt so out of shape, emotional and vulnerable.  I didn’t feel like myself. I talk a lot about that HERE.

Anyways, everyone has their own life journey and plan.  Focus on YOU and only you, and stay in your own lane.  It is good to get advice from others, of course, but stop focusing so much on what others are doing.  Focus on you, your kids and your husband and life goals.  Do YOU.

2. Do what make you happy everyday.  Find anything that makes your soul happy.  What makes you feel alive? What makes you feel pure joy?  I am not talking about like “oh my gosh I am SOOO overwhelmingly happy and annoying about it” hahaha.  I am talking just at peace everyday.  Something that centers you.  

Mine?  Working out.  Getting my sweat in.   I get up, at 6:30am, throw my hair up, brush my teeth, put on my gym clothes, grab a coffee and I am out the door and there by 7am.  I do this every single day, and get a great work out in.  

It has changed my life for sure.  You set the tone of how your day is going to go by a morning routine.  I automatically set my day up to be good one.  And it is!  You really are the one who choses your day and how its going to be run.

3. Give yourself a positive pep talk everyday.  yes, talk to yourself!  I literally tell myself how awesome my day is going to be, and how grateful I am for all the things in my life.  It puts me in such a great mood.  You can write these things down as well.  I tell myself everyday.  I also vision the things I want, and I do something everyday that will help me reach it.

Listen guys, this isn’t to say I don’t have bad days, but I can tell you this.  Ever since applying this to my life, my bad days are very very numbered.   

We really all have bad days, but it is how you handle it thats important.  

Let me know how you liked this, or any tips you have on feeling and being more confident!  PLEASE SHARE THEM BELOW!  Would love to know.

xoxo,

I struggle to get to the gym some days just like any other person.  Just because I seem like I don’t, I DO have those days.

Today, being one of them.  

So I decided to share things that help me get to the gym, and of course share my pre-work out that will change your whole life.

So NUMBER ONE. 

A good PLAYLIST.  This is SO important.  Get your playlist ready in advance and have the best jams ready to go, and make sure you have enough to last you an hour, or however long you decide to work out.

My husband is a music fanatic… different music.  I don’t want to say EDM because that is to raver sounding, but it is something along those lines.

So needless to say he has really good jams that he has introduced me to, that really get me pumped.

Here is the list of songs I have been listening to the past couple weeks.  Download them if you would like!

Number 11, is my all time favorite right now!  I hope you enjoy them as much as me.  They will get you ready to get moving!

So I have got a ton of questions on my pre-work out.  I used to take them back a few years ago, and stopped because I just felt cracked out ha ha.  

I was taking the wrong one that is for sure, because the one I take now does not make you feel that way at all.

It gives me the push I need to keep going while I work out.  My husband wasn’t really into them either until he finally started taking mine, and was so shocked at how much it helped him.

He also said the same thing about it not being so intense.

He takes his after work around 5 and can go to bed just fine at 10-11pm, which is his normal bedtime.  I take mine in the morning or afternoon, whenever Oaks is napping.

So with that said, make sure you eat something with it when you take it, and I wouldn’t recommend taking a pre-work out if you have certain health complications.  Its wise to talk to your doctor first.

Also, if you are breastfeeding or pregnant, DO not take a pre-work out.  

It is called Amino Energy, it has BCAA’s as well which is another reason I like it.  BCAA stimulate protein synthesis, and might do so to a greater extent than a normal protein on its own. BCAAs also increase synthesis of the cellular machinery responsible for carrying out the process of protein synthesis.

BCAA also give you natural energy, which is why it doesn’t have the intense affect like most pre-work outs.

I love the watermelon flavor.  That is all I have tried so far, but I keep buying that flavor because it tastes so good.  

So, just giving you suggestions on what I do and love.  I am not telling you to go do it yourself and try it. If you already work out just fine, then you probably don’t need it.  All your choice!
