OAKS OUTFIT – ALL ZARA & MOCS

Happy Tuesday guys!  It is GLOOMY here in Utah, & cold.. which is bringing me to sip on some warm coffee.. I don’t mind it though.  Nice break from the heat.

So I wanted to just simply share 10 random things you might not know about me & my life.. 

1.  I started blogging 2012 & wore the most hideous clothing…. So embarrassing.  I don’t encourage you to scroll back to 2012 haha.  But hey you gotta start somewhere.

2.  I love food.  LOVE food.  Have a hard time keeping myself from to much food on the weekends.

3.  I have 2 step kids.  My husband had his first at 19, got married & then had another.  They are two years apart.  The first is Tyson & he is 17.  Halle is 15.  Crazy right?   They’re such good kids, & super grateful for that.

4.  Back in December we had Tyson move in with us permanently.   It has been a journey to say the least, but he helps with Oaks & it’s so fun to watch Oaks interact & bond with him.  He loves Tyson! All & all I love having Tyson live with us, & getting to know him better.  It’s fun to see him bond with his dad.

5.  There is no one behind the Love by Lynn brand helping right now, just my husband & I.  Mostly little ol’ me.  Hoping to bring someone on very soon, as we expand!

6.  I am 1 of 5 kids.  I have 1 step sister , 2 brothers, & a sister.  My sister & I are VERY close.  We’re 16 months apart and I’m so happy about that.  Praising my mom everyday for that!   It’s been so fun growing up with her.  We’ve never been closer than we are right now, & it just keeps getting better.  She’s my best friend.

7. My parents were divorced when I was 24.  An ugly divorce, it was one of the hardest things my brothers, sister & I went through.  Everything is all good now.   They both got remarried, & it’s all good now.  

8.  Had an eating disorder from the ages 19-21.  Starve & binge… starve & binge.  Would work out, but nothing would happen.  I wasn’t feeding my body with the right nutrients, plus everything I ate was immediately stored to fat, since I wouldn’t eat all day & binge late at night.

9.  Favorite bad food?… Fries, & chocolate.

10.  Last but not least, I struggle everyday with getting myself to get ready haha.  #momlife

Okay guys, hope this post wasn’t annoying, but I wanted to get REAL & let you guys in on more about me.  Let me know if you liked it!  

Have a great day!

OAKS OUTFIT / TOP / MOCS / PANTS

At first I was a little.. eh.. hesitant at this ruffle trend.  Thought it was to fancy pantsy girly.  

BUT, I must say.  It is stunning & so chic.  Didn’t think I would like, but now I am UH-bessed.  I want every single one I just linked for you.  Super cute for this Summer.

ALSO I literally figured out how to keep these DAMN string lace up shoes to STAY while you’re walking around.  I was bond & determined to figure it out!   There is nothing more annoying than the laces just untying & falling as you walk… right?  Like I am cringing thinking about it. haha.

So whats the trick?

FIRST start by wrapping really really low on the ankle, then as you’re wrapping them up place each one very close together— almost overlapping each other.  Got it?

Okay, next you want to either tie it on the back of the leg, or front.  I guess it is personal preference, but I did on the front because that is the only way I could without the laces being to long. 

When you tie it off, tuck the left over lace under, if you can and if you want.  Again, personal preference.  BUT the trick is keeping them VERY close together as low as possible. 

If you like to lace them all the way up your leg, then be prepared to be re-tying those babies up every 10 steps.  At least that is my problem I have with them.

Does anyone else have any tricks they would like to share, or better yet, have any of you found lace up that actually STAY PUT?!  Please do share!

Headed to meditate now, on day 11.  Has anyone done the headspace app? Or doing it?  How are you liking it?!

Chat with you later,

xoxo,
