    Living My Best Life

          sweater (sold out) | bralette | jeans | mules  Many of you know my health story but many of you do not. Many moons ago (when I was in college) I was at my most unhealthy. I was focused on partying.. HARD, pretty much every night. That was my everything and I really dove into that lifestyle. I would spend my days eating fast food, getting ready for a big night out, pregaming in my apartment and smoking cigs and drinking hard liquor until the wee hours of the morning. Then I would hit up the drive through one last time before I went home and passed…

    sunnies* | top | cape – sold out (similar) | pants | boots Ok ya’ll… this blog is gonna be REALLY REALLY REALLY real. I keep getting questions about how I have lost my weight after having a baby so you’re about to find out!

Even VOGUE is taking notice! “When Minnie Mortimer dropped by the Vogue offices the other day, we couldn’t help but notice her supernaturally healthy glow. Her secret: Beautycounter, the new line…

    Sweet Sugar Thanks to Playtex

                Oh man, I cannot believe that my sweet Mercy girl is 14 weeks old now! She is growing by leaps and bounds and everyday she does something new. I am exclusively breastfeeding her but I try really hard to not let her fall asleep while nursing. I don’t want her to become dependent on falling asleep ONLY with me verses if Derrek is home and trying to get her to sleep. For some reason, Nolan and Harper never took a pacifier and I think it’s because I let them fall asleep nursing every single time. Scarlet Reese was the only child other than Mercy…
