TOP / SKIRT / BOOTS (LOVE HERE TOO) 

HAT / BAG

I did a poll on my IG stories and asked if you like me chatting about motivation and real life when I post an outfit, and more than half of you said YES.  So here I am haha.  Going to keep chatting about it, because I can’t just post an outfit and not give you any sort of inspiration or information to walk away with.  

I’m always reading different books, and listening to podcasts to try their tips and then make them my own.  I’m all about the self help books and trying to better myself in all areas, so that I can be the best mom, wife, friend, citizen etc…  because why not?  So here is something I’ve been doing thats really made me feel less overwhelmed throughout my day.

I wake up and do these 3 things instead of going through my head and thinking of the huge list of things I have to do, I do this. 

MY 3 THINGS…

  1. Whats my NOURISH today?
  2. Whats my BODY today?
  3. Whats my MIND today?

For example my nourish today is EAT MORE VEGETABLES.  My body is GOING FOR A RUN outside.  My MIND is have more patience.  

It’s pretty simple when you look at it like that.  It helps you break it down day by day, instead of feeling like you’ve got so much to do and so much to accomplish.  Making tiny improvements and tiny marks in each day, lead up to bigger things in life.  Bigger accomplishments, better mood, better attitude, better health, better YOU.

Have a great week guys!  Take it day by day and more importantly have FUN with life!

TOP / JEANS / BOOTS / BAG / EARINGS

Kinda loving the trend with the bow tie look on the wrists.  I bought this top in white too because I love it so much.  Express is having their buy 1 get the other 50% off right now, so you should go check it out asap!  These booties I got last year and are sold out, but I linked some cute over the knee gray Steve Maddens.  They’re equally as perfect and cute.  

Switching gears here,  I want to touch on something today.  EXCUSES….. I just really want to spill out what I’m thinking.  We all make excuses.  We all have them, but how do we stop them?  Why is it so hard to actually do what we know will make us better?  It’s always the most basic things and simple tasks that we make excuses for….  to waking up early, going to the gym, reading, studying, etc…  here is what we say…. “I’ll start tomorrow”  “just this last cookie and I’m starting tomorrow” or “I don’t have time”.   WHAT THE HELL.  Why do we do this to ourselves?   Everyone has TIME if they want it bad enough.  We all have the same hours in a day.  It’s how we use them thats important.   

The answer is WANT.  You have to want to change, you have to want it so bad that you won’t let anything get in your way.  It’s just really that simple.  If you find yourself riding that excuse train, take a moment and really think about what it is you want, think about how much time you spend in front of a tv, or on your phone (which is the biggest thing for everyone)  The things we don’t want to do, are the things that will ALWAYS improve our lives.  Make us stronger, smarter, better, healthier… etc.  It may seem like your enemy at the beginning but it’ll be your best friend in the end.
