JUMPSUIT / ALSO LOVE HERE & HERE / HEELS / WALLET (ON SALE!)

Since this jumpsuit only has two sizes left, I linked another two that are very cute! I’m wearing a size 4.  The sizes they have left are 2 & 10.   But seriously grab it if your size is left!  One of my favorites and they quality is so nice and super comfortable.  

Switching lanes here, I wanted to talk about spicing it up.  What do I mean?  Well ya see, I know I feel like shit when I look like shit.  When I don’t try to do anything for myself that day, or try to even brush my hair…  this isn’t a vain thing to do.  Trying to look our best is something that I think fights the mental game in our head that says we suck.  By taking 10 minutes a day to spruce it up, you will have a better day!  No it isn’t a vain thing to say, and there is nothing wrong with that. 

Just try a little harder to look a little better is all! You will feel a little better too.  I know the days I’m living in my own filth, I think to myself “what is life?” haha.  When the days I get up and try, I think to myself “you got this!”.  It really is a mental thing, but we’re human and getting up and trying makes it worth it.  Besides spice it up for that husband of yours.  I’m sure he’ll appreciate it! 

NOW, I’m NOT saying go get dressed to the nines everyday, lashes, contour etc.. no not at all.  Just do what make you FEEL good.  For example, washing my face, putting on CC cream, mascara & my brows makes me feel accomplished and ready to take on the day.  That takes me tops 5 mins. 

Now, let me take it back.  I know they’re hard days and busy days as a stay at home working mom that it just happens, and I live in my own filth, but shit happens.  All I’m saying is do what makes you feel good! If putting on the lipstick makes you feel good, then do it!  

Also, another HUGE thing for me is getting dressed up and going out on a date with my husband… can you say THERAPUTIC.  No, but really I love doing that. It makes me feel human and not like I’m always wearing the mom hat. 

Okay so, are you guys involved in my Secret FB group called LOVE HIIT BG BABES.  It’s basically a support group of moms using LOVE HIIT BG and sharing our tips and tricks with anything in life.  IF not, you should come join!  I wanted to create it to get more involved and get to know all of you better!  Just another place to chat!  Lots of things will be happening there, including a giveaways, and tips and secrets!

MAKE HATS & SPF YOUR BFF

 SPF

It’s no secret that I’m a huge lover of all things skin.  It started at a very young age for me.  I started really taking care of my skin when I was 15, from one of my good friends growing up.  She taught me all the basics!  So I started taking off my make up with the good ol’ dove cream make up remover, and using clinics line, morning and night.  I got in the habit of doing it twice a day, and loved doing it.  I’ve always been highly obsessed with skin.  

Nicely applied make up starts with your skin.  SKIN comes first.  So what can you do to keep your skin from premature aging?  Over the years I’ve protected my face, neck and hands so much so that I haven’t had any signs of premature aging… (knock on wood).   It’s so important to start taking care of your skin while you’re young so that you’ll have long lasting youthful skin! 

A little background though, I used to be a HUGE tanner in high school… (BARF)… didn’t we all though? I feel like that was a thing?.. No? ha.  My friends and I would walk to the nearest salon after school and just bake the shit out of our skin in those deadly beds.  We would even put the little heart stickers below our belly buttons, just above our panty line… ummm.. (NO)  Kinda trampy if I might add.. haha.  You guys know the stickers.. you know those things.   Anyways, you could visibly see that the tan line, we tanned so much!  Nowadays you have to have your parent WITH YOU while you tan under 18.  SO smart.  Wish that was the case in my days.  So all that tanning wasn’t smart!  But now that I’ve grown I know the importance of it!  

But it isn’t JUST washing your face morning & night that will keep you from aging.  I wanted to share 3 simple, but affective AND affordable ways you can add this onto your skincare routine, and it will help keep you from premature aging.    

  1. STAY OUT OF THE SUN WITHOUT PROTECTION &  ESPECIALLY TANNING BEDS.  Use SPF. EVERY SINGLE DAY.  A good one without all the chemicals.  I use ELTA MD UV CLEAR SPF 46.   Even in the winter months… every damn day guys.  You wouldn’t believe how much the UV rays damage your skin.  They cause sun spots (those ugly brown spots) on your face, neck & hands, and cause wrinkles (the leather look)  guys– speaking of the leather look.  I used to work at a few tanning salons, so I know the look.  Its barf guys. Barf.  I wanted to lather every one up with sunscreen, and send them on there way out.  Thats another reason why I’m so careful because I’ve seen it firsthand!  Worked in 5 different salons from ages 16-23, and stopped tanning at 21.  So don’t do it!  SPRAY TAN GUYS.  Those are why I look tan all the time.  Use ST TROPEZ rub on.  SO GOOD.
  2.  WEAR HATS.  The bigger the hat the better.  Whenever you go out, Wear the hat as MUCH as you can.  You will thank yourself at age 40.
  3. DRINK WATER. LOTS of water.  Seriously, such a great way to keep your skin hydrated.  I can totally tell a difference when I’m not drinking enough.  My skin feels extra dry, and I live in a dry state (UTAH) so I drink tons of water.  I got this 40 oz bottle that I fill up 3x a day.  You’ll need more water if you work out.  So thats why I drink so much.    

SO, sounds super simple right? Well, it is.  The issue we run into is consistency!  You’ve got to keep up with it.  Make it a habit!  Creating healthy habits go a long ways, and you’ll be so glad you did. 

 

Have a great day!
