I love a good suit set & you guys helped me pick o I love a good suit set & you guys helped me pick one for a panel I did at @beautycon over the weekend☺️❤️ I got to share my experiences around beauty after motherhood alongside other creators in various stages of mom life and, wow! What a reminder that parenting is so hard at the beginning, challenging with every subsequent child & just so demanding all around. But collectively, I think we all agreed that even with all the messiness & craziness that motherhood brings, it’s so unbelievably beautiful & rewarding. So regardless of what season you’re in, you’re doing amazing even when you think you’re not (in case anyone needed to hear that)🫶🏽

What I like to call finishing touches after I’m What I like to call finishing touches after I’m pretty much resdy to go. I love a good body glow + bronze and for my scents I prefer light but masculine, if that makes sense 😜 

@tingebeauty body tint is one of my faves for adding a golden glow to my legs or arms & chest. It’s transfer proof but because I like to mix it with body oil or lotion I also spray an aerosol deodorant to set it (this trick works soo well! It’s like a setting spray for your body..just let the product dry then spritz and let that dry) The brush I’m using is my favorite for the body it smooths all products out nicely & evenly. You can’t get a sense for the finish here that well but I have a body makeup highlight that shows how well this stuff covers bruises, cuts & just makes your skin look flawless 

@boy__smells woodphoria is so up my alley. It’s woodsy and has a tiny spice to it but it’s feminine too. I love scents that linger but are not overpowering. Ones that almost smell like you used a body wash and then it just lasted on your skin for hours. This is like that. For reference my other faves are @officialbyredo Mojave ghost @narsissist audacious & @narciso_rodriguez for her
“What about our house?”😭 That last part mad “What about our house?”😭 That last part made me weep when we surprised the kids with our new home. But it also got me so excited about a new chapter, with new adventures & new memories with the people I love most 🫶🏽🏡🧿

Can’t wait to take you all on this journey as we move into our forever home and share all things home related

Kai’s Corner // I love how the littlest changes Kai’s Corner // I love how the littlest changes in scenery can encourage so much self play. And,  with just a few weeks left of summer break that we’ll be spending mostly at home, I wanted to create a little outdoor oasis for my little man. I got everything on @walmart & I can’t tell you how much he loves this mini egg chair (snagged one in a different print for Mila too) & activity bench. Literally have to peel him away, which is so great especially when I’m trying to get some work done!

I was 38 then and 41 now. I thought the age gap be I was 38 then and 41 now. I thought the age gap between my other kids would be too big. I thought maybe I *was* too old to do this all over again (even though I didn’t feel it). And, yes, it’s not always easy, but omg moments like this just make everything so worth it. Just a little reminder to anyone out there thinking they’re behind or not where they should be, there’s nothing more rewarding than living life on your own timeline. It’s a beautiful thing 🫶🏽 #mommybear #babybear #motherhood #baby3
