When you look good you feel good, When you feel good you look good

Wow having babies is wonderful but it does a number on your body. At least for me anyways. I think its all genetics. I was not one of those people that just needed to breast feed to loose weight I actually kept the weight on breast feeding.
I have not bought new clothes for myself for so long I am so picky and never find anything I like and besides I don't want to go shopping because I am not happy with my body.
When I got pregnant with my first baby I was 5' 7" and only 114 pounds I was tiny and loved it. I gained so much weight I was 169 the day I had him. It took me almost 3 years to lose most of the weight then I got pregnant again. I ate better this time but gained even more weight I was over 180 when I had my baby Kai.
It has been over 7 months and now I am on a mission to get my old body back and be a HOT mamma. Calorie counting is really working I don't have the time to officially calorie count but you can kind of measure how much you can eat and not eat. I have found that eating a big breakfast makes me so much hungrier during the day now I just have a Nutri grain bar for breakfast, small lunch, small snack, small dinner, and a low calorie popsicle for dessert. Of course throw in about 2-3 coffees with a little bit of sugar and fat free milk in the mix.
Anyways it seems to be working I lost 3 pounds last week. I am no where near where I want to be I have about 30 more pounds to go but I know I can do it. I need to throw a daily 15 minute workout and I will be well on my way.
What prompted my post today is because I had a wedding the other day I did the makeup but they are also great friends of ours. I was just torturing myself on what to where. I went to Nordstroms and a wonderful girl approached me in the Brass Plum area (such cute clothes right now) she just looked at me and took it upon herself to choose a bunch of different outfits for me. I went into the dressing room and had lots of cute stuff to try on. Long story short I spent $32o (I hope my hubby doesn't read this) I found such cute stuff that actually looked good on me. I felt great at the wedding and I could tell my husband loved it.
Stay positive, confident, and take care of yourself. When you look good it feeds you emotionally. Eat good stuff and make sure you spoil yourself often. Life on this earth is too short to feel bad about yourself. You have the control to be exactly where you want to be. Just thought I would share some of my story. I have a long way to go to be really happy with myself but I am definitely on the right path.
Lots of love!!!

Sunscreen Ladies Sunscreen!!! IMPORTANT!

So easy to make it a part of your routine daily. Just put some all over your face, neck, and chest every morning under your makeup. Just that simple.

Prevent aging, sun spots, skin cancer and look beautiful. I love and use Neutrogena Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 15. Great product and feels so refreshing and light on your skin.

Mascara Mascara Mascara

Ok so I got some intel from an amazing makeup artist friend of mine. She has amazing lashes too. Check out her website http://www.noabolozky.com. I have been on the hunt for a good mascara so I thought I would ask the most experienced makeup artist I know.

I am on my way this week to get mine.

Water Proof Mascara for weddings and other events she recommends:
L'oreal voluminous

Everyday look she recommends:
Clinique Lash Doubling

I will let you all know what I think after I am able to use them. Which will be soon because I have a makeup appointment on Wed morning and a Wedding on Saturday. Have a wonderful day!
