The products below are things I've seen other people share on Instagram and things I've found along the way. I'll be using these items most likely my entire pregnancy/post pregnancy. </p><p style="text-align: center;">First things first, a comfortable bra. I haven't sized up in my regular/normal bra, but I immediately bought a few bralettes that are just more comfortable to wear. I wear these all the time around the house/running errands, etc. They are also super affordable! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.target.com/p/women-39-s-reversible-seamless-bralette-colsie-8482-ginger-m/-/A-82248267" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="636" data-original-width="640" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgXXDu2mwvFnmMP4oFHgrt3pqtLiZSpsUe3u6nU6_DOdXCyb8qCTrBXlabbhithp97UGarT32mpPDclklwFVgc5H3FC2dMAw-gyi07E1ZVrx5V75IwUAmr31ipfKjkmy9h8E0RdBakCBofeACAYrbf8kxrv6W8Ijy8OE1fymYdHEgDyP2V0kQuz0AYL=w320-h318" title="Target Bralette" width="320" /></a></p><br /><p style="text-align: center;">Another clothing item I've been loving since being pregnant are comfy pants that work with a growing bump.

I quickly realized I didn't have the best remover (without harsh chemicals) so I did a quick search and found this one. It's unscented, works great- you just need to wash your hands after removing any nail polish because it feels a bit oily.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082WN64RD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_FS3P5ZCQVW79V00RVR2C?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="951" data-original-width="635" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhIzWLQDurZ5ZBMZgPLSSGWPGzCdggwbZKn4cocoZRTfuffqzj9HZpNU2noyIsdXRjVxeLrvx-Tt_Essj8B0c8uKQt_6b2oVYNZTcXcL3V4KygMwcyFJYd6bcOww2WeI15I7pOtui8U-CgJZTERSdLOENwUBcIweSt8fbVgt8L4xRWULXbEwBuqMKa3=s320" width="214" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One of the most important things added to your routine once you get pregnant are supplements. The number one being a pre-natal. I won't be sharing what I'm taking for that as it was prescribed by my doctor, but I will share two other supplements I've been taking. The first is Omega-3s/Fish Oil. I started taking these (along with my pre-natal) about 6 months before trying and continue to take them daily. They don't leave any fish taste in your mouth. The next one is a probiotic. I started taking this about a month before trying and I'm very lucky to say I've had no constipation issues thus far in my pregnancy. Constipation can be a common symptom in pregnant women. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*Be sure to consult with your doctor on what supplements are safe for you to take.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.target.com/p/nordic-naturals-ultimate-omega-softgels-dietary-supplement-60ct/-/A-79803830" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="582" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjoH2ZTb5fkSSbUDYB9T6yoWZccDtpcu1GAB3eTTBkTIC8-avaX62BF8XCrG9Qn_mYyScKhs81VOqIOAaT_ozWi4USGPLicbm-FuVTJDqxczeLIofrVyQvcdOQQxZGyQ9BEcFHyK0sgwomgYHJb36JAdyNd2DdLV32HpB49S2PjWrj2FhMfyDgc2Lbd=s320" width="291" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G1MDRS6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_54JMY1V0KF80JF02RWBT" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="922" data-original-width="779" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhALP-zHkZvUbMzoKfzcxzH5CYVNsBc4YVdOYlz27nS625WU2X4O3IqguFhF_I2cFyj_oqehnpAHrzFuqAo0-hXoEviTEbOqXiVv2526BYbOD2HLtnkk59h4kK19-6n7z90oVIlcZFzPNvj4mN1bviwc6lEs4BRu3YsxGc6XrfN8yycjcOcRhU6mz-H=s320" width="270" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Along with supplements, I decided to purchase a pill organizer. I'm pretty good at remembering to take them everyday, but this was more for traveling. Even just a weekend away I didn't want to bring four bottles with me. This pill organizer makes it super easy to travel with supplements or just remembering to take them daily.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P477J6W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_WDQ80ASPG26BFP4MG207?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="698" data-original-width="1242" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiW77b2tu2p0w1Z6HlZMTnYYathg0LmNoOtgDBn3GCutHgYfyomd3qr373ksBI0eReIIgBU4cmQQbYpuPl1D749l-bb-LPnD-X6lc8fy53kPdcCa0b4df3Y5outnkflT5T_iEymot8Fgy3kxe63RvP3_i0T9roP9Uoq2by47b2WOmCI86AZEwtWqG3e=w320-h180" title="Pill Organizer" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hydration is key while pregnant. I aim to drink about a gallon of water a day. In order to do that I need a pretty big water bottle. I've relied on my Yeti 30 oz tumbler that I refill multiple times a day. I know so many brands make similar water bottles and I'm considering getting the handle attachment so it's even easier to grab once the baby is here.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/YETI-Rambler-Stainless-Insulated-MagSlider/dp/B073WK3JWT?th=1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1282" data-original-width="700" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjruXQl2jfFUl6hiBOmxLQIa8uluCWQ6Hltq0K8jnPFkyOwcE3sv74ZIyLpRyKUnJTZIHj5qz0gLOq9zvZdQhOW3KhWtq9h4YwgtAD86L7R5kx8jPsteVWd6RAlIUgfUJ-xJjGHAh8583x3exNbj-FxaaCq9cPdtIjECTeud0HMyNdn7zZdMyY5wtuk=s320" width="175" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Keeping your skin and lips hydrated is also important.

Being pregnant for the first time is all new to you and it might be beneficial to write it all down. Whether it be your beginning symptoms, when your last period was, the date you found out. All of these notes can be important during your first appointments, as well. It's also a nice memory book to have and to also look back on if you get pregnant again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.target.com/p/200-sheet-college-ruled-spiral-1-subject-notebook-11-34-x9-125-34-blue-stripe-sugar-paper-essentials/-/A-81278272#lnk=sametab" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1400" data-original-width="1400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjQ6ceH_Bs8jIfsjiGkNcDQhEsvNwzt81XGnFACcFICe9dxjxj6Hi3z2QyEw3Xd9TPGZv5be2vjYY0_t_JHxnC4sZ4TDzCxQmVXZN4QEEeBWA_COR8tUrvZB64EoXDo6-c2lnBH9rbOnhgo2ZzU-xy7YVhBKNlJiNBtbNmmHN5b2F04t-kN_ZGP9l--=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>breboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12935421872203439312noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032916767362256393.post-7208945953370724152021-07-18T20:20:00.000-04:002021-07-18T20:20:08.428-04:00Wedding Series: What I wore on my wedding day<p style="text-align: center;">It finally happened!

Back again for a wedding update! This time it's all about engagement photos. When we first got engaged I knew for sure I wanted to get engagement photos done. That was one criteria I was looking at when picking a photographer for our wedding day. I wanted the option for engagement photos, but not at an insane price. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you want engagement photos, I highly suggest using your wedding photographer as it gives you a moment to get to know them and their personality before your big day. I can 100% say that I'm comfortable taking kissing photos now that we practiced with our photographer, haha. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When it came to picking out our outfits, I had previously bought a dress I adored from <a href="https://www.tnuck.com/" target="_blank">tuckernuck</a> that was on super sale, and I wasn't even engaged! If you see something you love and you have a pretty good idea you're getting engaged feel free to grab it! I knew I wanted to wear white and have my fiancé wear something that complemented that (nothing with patterns or bright colored.) I also picked a second white dress that was a completely different style so I could have some variety in our pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, the location. We live on the CT Shoreline and our home is pretty coastal when it comes to decor. So I knew I wanted to take pictures in a backdrop that would complement our home. We've been in our house for a little over 2 years now and barely have any pictures of us on the walls. This is just an extra tip if you're thinking of hanging these pictures up, think about your decor/style and what kind of backdrop would look best with that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, the good stuff! Below are some of my favorite pictures that our photographer took! I'll leave her info below along with links to our outfits.</div>

If you don't know already, I am recently engaged! My boyfriend proposed to me on Valentine's day (my favorite holiday) I am elated and so excited to start planning this magical day! I definitely felt overwhelmed the first few weeks, between everyone's questions and my own thoughts of how we are going to pull this off, but all in all it's been an amazing time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every book, magazine, blog, and person basically tells you to start with the venue before you do anything else. I agree with that and even more so with drafting a budget before you think about anything. Having a budget that you and your future spouse agree on is key. And if any family plans to contribute, that's even better! My dear co-worker who recently planned her wedding was nice enough to share with me her wedding budget template. It was great because it included so many extra things I wasn't thinking of. Some of these things included; Wedding Insurance, Tips for vendors, Bridal accessories, Gifts for family, State Sales Tax/Gratuity, etc. Once that's agreed upon, start the search!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a few venues in mind when I started thinking about our wedding, specifically in the southeastern part of CT, near Mystic. I immediately started reaching out to venues to inquire on pricing details. I was surprised to see that some venues have required caterers you can only choose from, which can effect your budget. One venue I was in love with was set up like this- once I reached out to the caterers (which will be the most expensive part of your wedding) I realized this location was not meant to be. The good news is that after chatting with one of the caterers, she gave me a name of a venue I've never heard of that might fit the vibe I was going for. That new venue she mentioned, happens to be where we picked to have our wedding! With that said, if it wasn't for me reaching out to the caterer, I would have never have found my current venue!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another thing to keep in mind for your venue is a site fee, if you are planning to have an outdoor wedding, that is one expense you can expect. When visiting venues, don't be afraid to ask questions! I saw some venues state they spray for bugs, which I would have never thought of. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you find this post and my future wedding posts helpful if you're planning a wedding or about to be engaged! I'd be happy to share any templates with future brides!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And if you're wondering where we chose to have our wedding, we picked <a href="https://smithfarmgardens.com/weddings/" target="_blank">Smith Farm Gardens</a>. A beautiful property in East Haddam, CT with a newly restored home and organic farm & orchard, perfect for any celebration! </div>

<a href="https://www2.hm.com/en_us/index.html" target="_blank"><b>H&M </b></a>always has great deals, but right now they have up to 80% off on select items! Below I picked some of my top fall stable items, some of which are on sale!<br />
<br />
*Black skinny jeans are a must for fall/winter months. You can wear them with flats or boots and they always look more polished than regular jeans.<br />
<br />
*Blouses are also very versatile since you can wear them alone or with a cardigan or blazer on top. I love a good printed blouse, as well!<br />
<br />
*Neutral sweaters/cardigans are a crucial for mixing and matching for different looks. You can also layer them with a simple black tank.<br />
<br />
*Lastly, how cute are those cross body bags! I can't get over the faux suede and how luxe it looks! Perfect for a night out and can fit everything you need!</div>

I'm not much of a Halloween fan, but I do love fall! I recently was looking at ModCloth because<b> <a href="https://www.jillianharris.com/" target="_blank">Jillian Harris</a></b> mentioned a <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/QV9F" target="_blank"><b>skull cardigan</b></a> similar to a popular one sold last year. I never shopped on ModCloth before, but I found that they have a lot of festive clothing for holidays! I thought this might be interesting to some of my teacher friends who might want to dress "festive, but cute" for Halloween- or anyone that just likes Halloween!</div>

After attending four weddings this past summer, I think I have a good idea of where to look for an "on trend" affordable wedding guest dress. So far, my favorite place to look for special occasion dresses is <b><a href="https://us.asos.com/women/dresses/cat/?cid=8799" target="_blank">ASOS</a>. </b>They have a great selection with all price ranges! They usually offer frequent sales and free returns, so you can always order a few sizes if you're not sure what works best for you (they offer Tall and Petite, as well.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below are my favorite Fall Wedding Guest Dress picks! Every dress is under $100 and is perfect for any event in the next couple of months. I love fall florals, burgundy, navy, and some pops of color!</div>

I looked into the company, they are a Nordstrom company, and figured out how it worked. Here are the basic things you need to know about Trunk Club;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Once you sign up you get picked a stylist. <span style="color: #666666; letter-spacing: 0.4px;"> Y</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.4px;">our stylist sends a Trunk of handpicked clothing straight to your door. You'll receive an itemized preview email first. Once you sign off on your stylist's selections, your Trunk will be shipped and you'll then have five days to try everything on, and determine what you want to keep and send back.</span></span></div>

So we have lived in our house for a little over a year now, time has flown by! Luckily, we didn't have to do any major updating. The main thing was repainting, using the original homeowners paint colors, and changing the color in the Master Bedroom. That is one tip I have for new homeowners, if you like the current paint colors have the sellers leave the paint cans so you can repurchase the exact color. We also got lucky and ended up at the same hardware store as the sellers and their paint colors were in the system under their name, which made it easy to look up by specific room. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After we painted our bedroom from periwinkle blue to a classic white, I finally decided I'm ready to put some things on the wall. Our home is a cape located on the CT shoreline and I'd like to keep the coastal feel throughout the house. I've noticed these prints on pinterest, instagram etc. and I finally located the exact ones I wanted on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1475656144?campaign_label=proteus_transaction_buyer_notification_v2&utm_source=transactional&utm_campaign=proteus_transaction_buyer_notification_010170_239798626671_0_0&utm_medium=email&utm_content=&email_sent=1534097544&euid=jokjYaJ0hUCp4ocSVzI92c3fYSTU&eaid=71391078016&x_eaid=301b5afed0" target="_blank">Etsy</a>! They are digital prints so you just purchase, download, and print! The frames are from <a href="http://www.michaels.com/gray-belmont-frame-with-mat-by-studio-decor/M10392853.html?dwvar_M10392853_color=Gray&dwvar_M10392853_size=8%22%20x%2010%22#start=4" target="_blank">Michaels</a>, I got them 40% off and used another coupon on top of that (they always have some kind of sale going on.) </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We don't have a headboard yet, I can't get myself to commit to one, so this artwork is a good focal point in the room! I like that it's coastal, clean and ties the room together. </div>

With warm weather on the rise means a new makeup routine to keep it from melting off! If you have oily/combination skin (especially in the summer) this post is for you!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm still on the hunt for the best affordable oil free primer, but I have used the <a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/step-1-skin-equalizer-primer-P393965?skuId=1669027&icid2=products%20grid:p393965" target="_blank">Makeup Forever</a> matte primer and it's perfect for the summer months (just pricey.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Foundation: I am currently LOVING Covergirl's new Trublend Matte foundation. It's super affordable, comes in 40 shades and keeps my makeup looking great in hot weather! I recently put it to the test when I wore it to a wedding that turned out to be 85 degrees during the daytime. It lasted all day/night and I didn't have to touch up once! Another tried and true summer foundation for me is the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless liquid foundation. It has great coverage and keeps me oil free all day. I apply my foundations with a brush or beauty sponge, my favorite affordable sponge is by <a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Real-Techniques-Miracle-Complexion-Makeup-Blender-Sponge/115226098?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=22222222227067924741&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=172592734756&wl4=aud-273067695102:pla-278949924631&wl5=9003366&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=115226098&wl13=&veh=sem" target="_blank">Real Techniques</a>. PS- make sure you wet/dampen your sponge before applying your products!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Setting Powder: For oily skin it's key to set your foundation/concealer. It keeps your makeup set and gives you a flawless finish. I've used the <a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/translucent-loose-setting-powder-mini-P422083?skuId=1635176&icid2=laura_mercier_whatsnew_carousel_us:p422083" target="_blank">Laura Mercier</a> translucent setting powder for years, but it is expensive. I am interested in trying the new <a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/veil-translucent-setting-powder-P430240" target="_blank">Hourglass</a> setting powder, but for now I've been using the most affordable product on the market. It's the Airspun loose setting powder and you can get it at Walmart or Walgreen's. It's under $10 and you get a ton of product! I like the translucent powder the best because it doesn't change the color of my foundation/concealer. Again, I can't emphasize enough the importance of a setting powder, it's a game changer! </div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I recently went on vacation to Austin, TX. You may be thinking, why Texas? Do you have family there? That is literally what everyone asked me, haha. The answer is, we just wanted to go! My boyfriend visited Austin last year for a bachelor party and he said it was a great city. Lets face it, living in New England all winter can be a little depressing, so I didn't care where I went- as long as it was warm.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We stayed there for 5 days and packed a lot into the trip! Before we left I did a lot of research on the city- where to eat, best places for happy hour, shopping, etc. Luckily I got a lot of info from some lovely Austin bloggers. <a href="https://www.thedarlingdetail.com/" target="_blank">The Darling Detail</a> had great recommendations! I highly recommend researching a new city before you go, it helps plan out your trip a little better. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Below I wanted to include every place we hit up and why it was so great! If you end up visiting Austin, I hope this post is a good tool for you!</span><br />

I stumbled upon a pumpkin muffin/donut hole recipe on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/brebold_13/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> and could not wait to try it! I had most of the ingredients, which is always a plus, and it seemed pretty simple. I substituted some ingredients, but they came out perfect!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Please check out the recipe <a href="https://www.texanerin.com/vegan-pumpkin-muffins/" target="_blank">here</a>! They are the perfect fall treat, without all the calories! I love baking/cooking with pumpkin because it's very low on fat, and it also tastes amazing :) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The only substitutions I made included; vegetable oil instead of coconut/canola, and I used whole wheat flour.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Happy Fall, below is the finished product!</div>

Fall is right around the corner, which means PSLs, flannels, bath & body works candles and apple cider donuts!! I recently did a spotlight favorite on Old Navy, and this week I wanted to focus on another affordable brand, BP. - can be found at Nordstrom. I rounded up some perfect fall transition pieces, hope you like!<br />

I've been living in CT for almost two years now, and recently purchased my first home on the CT shoreline. My day job consists of budgeting and accounting, but beauty/fashion/lifestyle will always be my obsession. I hope to share my love for all things New England, along with a splash of fashion & beauty.<br />
<br />
I think that's enough info to scratch the surface. If you like what you read, please stay tuned!

The answer to both of those questions is YES! I think I've just been genetically blessed with long nails, but I've perfected my at home manicure over the years and I think I have it down to a science!<br />

My first piece of advice is the kind of polish you buy. Sometimes I get the cheap $3 bottles, and then I instantly regret it because it chips so fast. I try to find colors I know I will use often and then I can justify buying a $8 bottle a little more. The benefit to the more expensive polish is that it lasts longer, and I think that's what we all want at the end of the day. The next piece of advice is the top coat. I've gone through so many different brands until I found out about <a href="http://www.ulta.com/dry-fast-top-coat?productId=prod6051231" target="_blank">Seche Vite</a> dry fast top coat. Let me tell you, this is LIFE CHANGING. It literally dries my nails in 30 seconds, no smudges! If you wanted to paint your nails at 9pm, no problem! This top coat will dry your nails so fast and it also makes them extremely shiny, as if you got your nails professionally done.<br />

I took full advantage on Sunday afternoon at B.F. Cylde's Cider Mill in Mystic, CT. This was my second time there and it was worth the long wait for their one of a kind cider donuts & apple cider slushies!<br />
<br />
Since it was a little warmer than your typical October day, I thought I could still pull off one of my favorite denim shirts. I honestly think denim shirts can now be worn in any season, they are so versatile! This one in particular is my favorite because of the fringe & back detail. I paired it with some black skinnies and tennis shoes.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy this post! I'll link all the details below!<br />
<br />
Happy Fall!<br />

This past April I decided to focus 100% on my well being. Ever since graduating college and minimizing my ability to consume 4,000 calories a day (minor exaggeration) I've been having a difficult time staying on the "right path."<br />
<br />
I know I need to eat healthy and exercise regularly, but that just didn't seem enough for me. I wasn't about to start two-a-days at the gym, because lets face it I don't really have the time or drive to do that. Instead of abruptly changing my workout routines, I decided to start from within my body and in turn it would hopefully effect the outside, as well.<br />
<br />
After an abundance of research I decided to do the <a href="http://whole30.com/" target="_blank">Whole30</a> challenge, lifestyle, diet...whatever you would like to call it. The main point of the Whole30 is to take out certain food groups that could be having a negative impact on my health & fitness. I definitely have some sort of digestive issues, but I've never been able to pin point what is effecting it. I've temporarily gave up gluten and dairy, but never consistently for a long period of time. Whole30 has you take out sugar, grains, dairy and legumes of your diet for 30 WHOLE days.<br />
<br />
The purpose of Whole30 is to eat whole, real foods. This includes meat, seafood, eggs, vegetables, fruit, oils, nuts and seeds. It is VERY important to read every label on your food because then you are aware of everything going into your body.<br />
<br />
My favorite part of this journey is that Whole30 doesn't want you to look at the scale for the entire 30 days. I rarely weigh myself, usually only at the doctors office, so I reluctantly weighed myself before my start date and I was eager to see if that number fluctuated at the end of this.<br />
<br />
<b>Week 1</b>: It was definitely eye opening during the first week. I didn't think I consumed a lot of "extra" sugar before this, but I was wrong. I had terrible withdrawal headaches from having extra sugar to not. I was also tired a lot of the time.<br />
<br />
<b>Week 2</b>: I was still trying to live a normal life and go out with friends and family, but it is definitely a challenge to go out to dinner on Whole30. Most of the time I picked the restaurant or asked for the name ahead of time so I could check out the menu. It can seem like you're being a pain when ordering, because my entire order needed to be customized, but trust me it's worth it!<br />
<br />
<b>Week 3</b>: This week was probably the toughest mentally, mostly because you're past the half way mark and just want it to end. I started to get more creative with my meals by this time and relied on the cook book, provided in the Whole30 book. It's good to mix things up in the kitchen because your taste buds can get sick of ground turkey and chicken every night. I highly recommend googling recipes and using suggested Whole30 recipes found online!<br />
<br />
<b>Week 4</b>: Finally, the last week! At this point I really started to see a difference in my appearance and the way I felt :) My clothes were starting to feel a little looser and my skin was glowing! On top of that I was falling asleep quicker and waking up without feeling groggy.<br />
<br />
This experience has totally changed the way I look at food! I did weigh myself at the end and have successfully lost 10 lbs! I've never tried to lose weight before so this was a huge accomplishment for me! It wasn't only about my weight though, I am now so aware of what I put into my body. I know how good I feel eating whole foods. I am also a little scared reintroducing certain foods into my diet, but I will try it at my own pace. The one thing I have tried again since my Whole30 ended is wine :) Luckily my two glasses didn't disrupt my digestive system as much as I thought, which relieved me a lot, haha.<br />
<br />
All in all I think the Whole30 is great for anyone! It's not easy, but it is eye opening! I now know how it feels to go out to eat and not feel horrible the rest of the night. I am continuing to eat Whole30 as much as possible, while reintroducing foods at my own pace.breboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12935421872203439312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032916767362256393.post-41116592662194874732015-11-02T08:39:00.001-05:002015-11-02T08:39:04.191-05:00November/Birthday Wishlist <br />
<span style="text-align: center;">Below find my November/Birthday wishlist items! I've been loving my Elizabeth & James Nirvana Black sample perfume, and highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fall/winter scent. You can never go wrong with a chunky monogram necklace, especially in this marble pattern! I've had my eye on the black Rebecca Minkoff purse for a few months now, the black on black details have me hooked. I will be in need of some quality winter boots, and these Tory Burch boots below scream warm and cozy! You can't go wrong with a cute festive phone case too :) Lastly, I've heard AMAZING things about the Kat Von D shade & light contour palette! I currently own the Anastasia contour palette, but would love to try out another palette! That's all for now, hope you all had an amazing Halloween and are looking forward to the holidays! xo</span><br />

My favorite hair products include Bb Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Shampoo, Macadamia hair mask, Schwarzkopf heat protectant spray, Batiste dry shampoo, and Schwarzkopf volume hairspray. The Bumble and bumble shampoo keeps my hair shiny and protects it from any heat damage. Most heat damage comes from my favorite hot tool shown below, the wand. You can get one at Marshall's, CVS, or your local beauty shop. Since I only wash my hair about twice a week I like to use a hair mask on the ends to prevent breakage. The Macadamia hair mask is great for that! Heat protectant spray is also an important step for hair prep, and this one by Schwarzkopf is so affordable! Batiste dry shampoo is my everyday staple. Like I said before, I don't wash my hair often and this product saves my life! Whenever my hair gets oily I just spray this product and rub it in throughout my roots. Lastly, the Schwarzkopf volume hairspray gives me texture while holding in my curls all day.<br />
