Mommy Glam: It's all about the lashes

Who the hell has time for full glam as a mom?! Am I right ladies?? If you know me, you guys know I have been into makeup for a long time. I used to go absolutely CRAZY buying make up pre-mommy days. I followed so many beauty gurus to keep up with the latest trends and products. Well, obviously this all changed once Jaxon came into my world. Even though I do miss sitting in front of my mirror for a good 45 minutes (no joke) doing my makeup, I have figured out a way to get a full glam look in less than 15 minutes with my all time favorite products. And I'm here to share it with ya'll!!! 

So, the VERY first way to make a less than 15 minute make up look, look like you've spent more than 15 minutes on that gorgeous face of yours is a great pair of lashes. With a great pair of dramatic lashes, you literally need ZERO eye shadow on your lid. You want to look for a dramatic, FULL, and LONG set of lashes. Ardell lashes are usually my go to for a night out with a full eye shadow look because they give you just enough lash without covering up that gorgeous eye makeup. With less eyeshadow or no eyeshadow I feel more dramatic lashes can kind of hide the fact that you don't have any shadow on AND make your eyes look amazing at the same time. 

Above are the Velour Lashes in style Doll Me Up which is the style I am wearing. I LOVEEE Velour lashes. They are pricey, however you can wear them multiple times as long as you take care of them and they are such great quality. These do have a thicker and longer lash band. This means these might be a little more difficult to apply as the band isn't as flexible as an Ardell lashes would be. As far as it being a longer lash band, you will most likely have to fit and trim the lash to fit your eyes correctly. These lashes are worth EVERY PENNY in my opinion. I will link these AND other lashes that I love that may be more affordable to you. 

Since the secret to this glam is seriously all about the lashes, I will quickly run through the rest of my face. For my bottom lashes all I did was use a dark brown eye liner with dark purple and dark brown eye shadow to buff out my lower lash line to give a little bit of smokey eye look. My favorite pencil liners of all time are the Marc Jacobs Gel Eye Crayons. These liners do not budge and they go on sooo smoothly!!If you swatch them on your hand in the store and rub your finger over the mark, it will NOT move. See for yourself.  I will link it below for you guys. 

For my lips, I used NYX cosmetics soft matte lip cream in the color Ibiza and over-lined my lips with a pinkish liner. While the Soft Matte Lip Creams aren't super long lasting, they have an amazing matte finish and feel sooooo soft on your lips. They are literally what they say they are. Soft and matte LOL. I have a ton of colors and they are so affordable!! 

As for the rest of my face, I personally have normal to dry skin so anything that has the word "dewy" or "illuminating" I'm pretty much sold on. If you have combination skin or oily skin, anything dewy won't be as appealing to you as it will only further enhance the excess oil on your skin. But since I tend to be on the dryer side...give me all the dew and glow!! I've REALLY been into the L'oreal True Match Lumi Glotion in the color medium. This is NOT a BB cream. This is really meant to either be worn alone as a "lotion", under BB creams/ foundations/ concealer, or as a spot liquid highlighter. I personally put it all over my face before applying my concealer. (Don't kill me guys but I do not wear foundation at all.)

After I apply my Lumi Glotion, I apply my favorite concealer which is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser. GUYS....I AM A CONCEALER JUNKY!!!! NO joke. I don't know what it is but I am obsessed with them. I have tried soooo many and this one is by far my favorite. I apply my concealer under my eyes, center of forehead, down my nose, and on my chin.  Again, I do not have many problem areas but I feel like it gives amazing coverage while feeling pretty much weightless and not cakey at all. For a thicker concealer for a long night out I do enjoy Tarte concealers as well as the Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer but honestly, I find myself reaching for my Age Rewind concealer. It's an oldie but a GOODIE. 

Lastly, to set and contour I love the Kat Von D Shade And Light palette. I use the pinkish nude and yellow shades to set and brighten my under eyes and everywhere else I only use the pinkish nude shade. If I'm tanner, I use the peach color mixed with the pinkish nude color to set and brighten under my eyes. The contour shades in this palette are amazing. I have used the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette in the past and in my opinion, the shades aren't nearly as good, not to mention these blend out way better. I found ABH contour palette to blend out blotchy. The shades in the KVD palette are PERFECT and blend out amazingly. 

So that's it guys!! Just apply full dramatic lashes, put some liner on those lower lashes, do your regular face routine, a bold lip and THAT IS IT!! Simple as that!! I will link everything and MORE below for you guys!! I hope this helped a bit!! Let me know what you think :) 

Thank you for reading!!

You! Lingerie, My First Collab!!

MY FIRST EVER BRAND AMBASSADORSHIP/ COLLABORATION! Guys, I am so THRILLED and thankful that this company took a chance on me to represent their brand. I have teamed up with Preggo Leggings and You! Lingerie to show you their awesome leggings (that will be my next blog post) and their awesome maternity/nursing bras. So, let's talk about some lingerie! 

First let me start by saying with Jaxon, my cousin was nice enough to let me borrow three of her sleeping nursing bras. They were just very simple and did the job. I had purchased a more supportive bra from target when I was out and about but I didn't find it comfortable and to nurse Jaxon with it was a pain in the butt the way the cup folded down. I never really found a brand that I loved. 

What you see above are the two sets that they sent me. A plain black set and a polka dot set. Both are extremely comfortable. I am a 34 D and went with a size medium and they fit PERFECT. If you have ever nursed before you know that throughout the nursing process, your boobs will become engorged and shrink back down over and over again. This can make finding a bra difficult because your bra size basically will change CONSTANTLY. What is great about this bra is the back strap has 6 rows of hooks to help adjust the fit perfectly throughout all those changes.  It has the clips at the front of  the so that it can be easily pulled down to nurse. The bras do not have underwire but provide GREAT support and even gave me a little lift. I REALLY appreciated that. The underwear are actually very, very comfortable. Both are very soft, even with lace details. The back of both have a scrunching effect to make your booty look extra cute.

These sets are not just practical and comfortable, but they are also extremely cute and sexy. After having a baby, you feel FAR FROM cute and sexy. I mean... WAY far lol. But these little sets will give you that bit of confidence you need to make you feel a little better about yourself. After all, don't cute and sexy things bring a little smile to your face? I know they do for me. ;)

Getting a little off topic...let me talk about being sexy, being a mom, and being pregnant. I once came across a picture of this drop dead gorgeous pregnant woman, sporting a really sexy outfit. She looked absolutely stunning.  I was appalled to see a woman shaming her. She literally said "When you are pregnant or a mom, you should not be wearing sexy clothes like that. It's just not a cute look no matter how pretty you are." Um EXCUSE ME LADY?! I'm sorry but this mindset HAS to go. Why can't I be pregnant a post a picture in bra and underwear? Or in a bikini? Or in a tight low cut dress? Why can't I be a mom and wear sexy clothes or WANT to look sexy? Being pregnant or mom shouldn't change my personal look or style. I have ALWAYS loved to wear low cut shirts and tight fitting dresses. Why should that change now? Because I'm a mom? You cannot tell me to stop being sexy because I am now a mom. Dressing sexy makes me happy. It makes me feel good. It empowers me. It makes me proud that my husband is proud of the way I look. Yes, being a mom and now being pregnant has definitely made it harder for the simple fact that it's hard to find the time to get myself done up, but I'll never stop trying. I think we need to stop thinking that when a woman becomes a mother she must become modest and cover up. It's simply not fair. 

So for you mommies who feel like you should cover up now because your a mom, go on with you bad self and show off that gorgeous figure!! " If you believe you are sexy, then you are." - Sophia Vergara.

I'll have the direct links below for both bras and undies! They are actually on sale so check them out for sure!! 

Thanks for reading!!

Mom of boys!!

It's official people, I AM A MOM OF ALL BOYS! I literally cannot be happier!! I was pretty calm the past week leading up to finding out what we were having. I have this blog to thank for keeping me busy and my mind off of it. 

Back story, with Jaxon I pretty much knew I was having a boy. All the old wives tales were basically saying boy. Craving salt, glowing skin (this is not something I noticed but I really did have random people come up to me saying my skin was glowing who didn't know I was pregnant), awesome hair, and just feeling great! Ramzi theory pointed to boy. (If you don't know Ramzi theory is I'll link it below. I find it to be super accurate). The only thing that was off was the Chinese calendar (as it was for this pregnancy. I'll link that below). But what REALLY what made me just know it was a boy are the three boy dreams I had leading up to the reveal. 

With this baby, I pretty much am having an identical pregnancy. Same cravings and all... but I think everyone telling me they thought it was a girl was starting to make me question it if it was a boy again or not.  But again, I had three dreams of boys. The day before the reveal, I dreamt that the smoke came out blue. How wild is that guys?! Two for two over here for predicting what I am having! haha! 

Guys, I am truly over the moon. I might even be more excited about having a boy this time then I was the first time. I think it's imaging the brother, brother bond. I think all sibling bonds are strong, but whenever I see brothers together, there's just something so different about it. Something so strong and special. I am really excited to see it unfold. Or...I can only hope so. If there is one thing about motherhood that I've learned is that it's never anything you expect it to be and I don't mean this in a somber way at all. But if you are a parent... you know what I mean. 

I am ready to live in a crazy house full of boy and raise men. I am ready to show them how to love and respect women. I am ready to stand by my husband's side and help them to be the BEST men that they could be. I am SO excited for this amazing journey that God has blessed me with. Just me and all my boys. (I'm smiling ear to ear right now just so you all know!)

So of course I'm going to talk about this little outfit I wore to find out what we were having. Rompers have become a favorite of mine especially after being a mom. Especially one like this that actually looks like a cute little baby doll dress. It's cute and comfortable. Stretchy enough to fit my growing bump and even hide it a little. The only thing NOT mommy friendly about rompers is the obvious....ya gotta get completely naked to pee. LOL! But guess what? Good thing we ain't got time to pee ever! lol.  I purchased this one from Forever 21 about two years ago before we left for our trip to Hawaii. Its SO comfy yet incredibly cute. I usually wear flat sandals with this romper, but as you can see, heels can make all the difference in dressing it up. I LOVE pieces like this. Doesn't get any more practical or cuter. 

I will link similar rompers and playsuits like this one below for you guys as well as who we used for the gender reveal and the ramzi theory. 

I hope you guys enjoyed!! Thank you for reading!!

GENDER REVEALS!

Gender Reveals. Man do I LOVE gender reveals. Am I the only person who gets insane butterflies watching someone else about to find out what they're having?! I feel like I'M the one finding out for myself. It's such a exciting rush to anticipate the big reveal! The parents-to-be's reactions are always so priceless. In the moment, you see them for their genuine, true self. It's truly a beautiful moment to witness, even if you aren't there to see it happening in real time. Of course we have those hilarious reactions of the mom's or dad's having a disappointed reaction if the gender of their choice doesn't come to be. Those sometimes tend to be my favorite. At the end of the day, you know they will love that little boy or girl with all their heart. 

Let's talk about that gender of choice for a second. Yes, WE ALL WANT A HAPPY AND HEALTHY BABY!!!!! I mean, can we just stop saying that and know that's what we all can hope and wish for!! OF COURSE!! Anyway, what I'm trying to say here...IT IS TOTALLY OKAY TO HAVE A PREFERENCE. It does not make you a bad person if you prefer a boy or girl first OR the same sex the second time. With my reveal coming up this weekend I have had sooooo many people assume that I want a girl because I already have my son. Many are surprised to find out that I want a boy even WORSE than I did the first time!! True story!! "But why?! Don't you want a mini you?!" Well...no LOL! " But you're so girly!! How can you not wish for a girl?!" BECAUSE DAMMIT I WANT ANOTHER BOY! WHY IS THIS SO BAD!! Haha!! For me, I LOVE my son...I would love another little version of him again. I find the brother, brother bond to be so adorable and extremely strong. And if I am being completely honest guys....I'm literally going to say the thing YOUR NOT suppose to say (and if you know me personally, you know I always say what you're not suppose to say) I don't want another girl to steal my husband's heart. Yep. That's right. I said it. I want to be the only girl in the house. I want to be the Queen and the princess. I want my boys to spoil me with love because I do love how boys are with their mommies. Once this little girl comes into the world, ITS OVER for me!! LOL! So yes I WANT MY SECOND BOY and NO I will not be trying for a girl if I get another boy to answer THAT question. 

And guys with all that being said, If I do get a girl I know I will be incredibly happy once she's here. I'll say it again, IT'S OK for me to have a preference. Whatever kind of child I'm brewing in here has my heart forever. 

For my first reveal, my mother threw me the cutest party at my house. We had our closest friends and family join us for a Bee themed occasion (" He Or She What Will You Bee"). We had an awesome cake (as shown above and link will be below) and gave away jars of honey for favors (yep we even did favors). For the actual reveal we did fireworks which was a fail (LOL) as some people claimed they saw a different color then what actually went off. Thankfully we did run over to our back up which was classic balloon pop. We found out then our beautiful little boy was on the way!! Seriously one of my best memories. I really felt the love surround us when we found out. It was a really special moment. ( TIP: DO NOT do a confetti balloon pop in grass... two years later and there's STILL confetti in my dirt).

Now, a lot of people wonder if you're suppose to bring a gift to a gender reveal. The answer is no. It is NOT expected at all. But be aware people WILL bring gifts. So expect to most likely see people showing up with small gifts. So your next question would probably be what the heck do you bring as a gift?! Here are a few ideas:

-A small pack of diapers. SERIOUSLY... you CANNOT go wrong with this

- Gender neutral baby outfit

- White converse baby sneakers (so cute!!) 

- Baby Moccasins 

- Gift card (small amount)

- Plain white newborn or 0-3 onesies 

- Burp clothes and swaddles

-Cute maternity robe or post partum robe

- Small gift for mommy (for nail appointment or blow dry)

- Gift card to restaurants so mommy and daddy can do date night before baby! 

I will link below my favorite baby moccasin brands for you guys as well as the burp clothes, swaddles, and robes . 

If you are going back and forth about throwing a gender reveal, PLEASE do it. It will be a memory that you will hold onto forever. If you're one of those people who think they are silly or ridiculous, then have a seat negative Nancy. It's okay to want to have another celebration for a miracle. Before you are quick to judge those who do have them, maybe consider the fact that perhaps they had a hard time conceiving. Perhaps they had suffered a miscarriage. Or maybe they are just excited to have a freaking baby!! You don't know anyone's story or reasoning, so please let the parents savor every single moment and celebration. I've seen so many articles that this trend is "tacky" and how " no one really cares". Listen, if you feel this way about gender reveals the answer is quite simple. Just don't go! Are you the one paying for the reveal?! No. And no one is asking you to spare your precious time away from doing something else. You'll save them a couple bucks on the extra food and your negative vibes, seriously. Just do yourself and the couple a favor and just don't attend. Everyone will be happier that way. Expectant mommy's to be, ENJOY EVERY SECOND!

So because this is a fashion blog as well, I have to talk about what I wore to my first gender reveal. It was the end of September and it was quite chilly. I went with this simple, light pink, ribbed, midi dress from Posh LA. It was simple, comfortable, and could be worn again. This is another easy simple dress that can be dressed up with heels or down with flats. It could also be worn well into the colder months for a cute night out. Since this dress is from last year I will link some other options below for you guys. 

Don't forget to check the links below!! ALSO, if you guys are kind of stumped on where to get reveal items from Poof There It Is! (click it) has awesome reveal options with super fast shipping! You can even have your OBGYN email them with the gender so NO ONE knows!

Maternity Style: Mama Overalls

HORRAY FOR MOM OVERALLS! Usually the first thing I think about when it comes to overalls is how goofy they could look. But thankfully, overalls are in and who looks cuter in overalls than pregnant women?!! Like seriously its so freaking adorable!!! 

So, here I am again with a non-maternity look. You can TOTALLY get away with non maternity overalls. I purchased these from H&M about a month ago and just went a size up. The actual shorts were a little big around my thighs, but all you have to do is roll them up once or twice and your good to go. I will have exact link below for you guys. The tank underneath is possibly the most amazingly, softest tank top I have ever worn. And guess what....It's from Walmart! I about passed out when I felt how buttery soft this tank was. Again, link to purchase will be below. 

You can pair these overalls with any fitted tank or t-shirt. Crop tops look adorable with overalls and so does any fitted off the shoulder top! The off the shoulder tops are actually my favorite kind of top to pair overalls with. 

What I really love about this look is how EASY it is to chase my toddler in lol!! Denim is not always the most comfortable thing to wear but short overalls are super comfy. Below I will have links to some of my favorite overalls including maternity ones!! I hope I gave some of you who are hesitant to try short overalls (because Lord knows I was) some confidence to rock them!!

Hope you enjoyed :)

Love,

Alexi xo

Maternity Style: Comfy, Casual, and Cute

YAY FOR THE VERY FIRST FASHION BLOG POST!!! I really wish I started this when I was pregnant with Jaxon, but what can ya do right? ANYWAYYYYYY, let's get TO IT! 

So being 20 weeks pregnant (Holy crap I can't believe I am half way there already!) this is obviously going to be a maternity style post but the good news is... THIS IS NOT A MATERNITY DRESS! :) This option is great pre-baby, during baby, and after baby. SO...Let's take a look at the whole thing. 

As you can see, there really isn't much to this look but boy can the most simple dress accentuate that bump in the most beautiful way. This is a simple, grey, ribbed dress with a high neckline. What I love about a high neckline is they make your boobies and shoulders look so great somehow. This dress is from Forever 21 last year unfortunately. The good news is they have extremely similar versions of this dress this year! I will link them below for you guys along with some other really similar styles. I decided to pair this dress with nude lace up heels from Guess to dress it up a bit. Again, these heels are an older style but I will link similar styles below. You can really throw ANY kind of shoes with this awesome dress. Below you will see I have paired it with cute flat sandals with some studs on the straps. Another option would be throwing on any kind of slip on sneaker which I will link for you below as well.

The great thing about this dress is it was less than 25 dollars!! Had this been a maternity dress you would most likely spend twice as much for something you can only wear for a couple months. Another great thing is this early on, you can most likely  get away with purchasing your regular size so that you CAN wear it the following year as opposed to getting a maternity dress that you can only wear while your pregnant. If your shopping online, make sure to check the product information to see what kind of material the dress is made of. For instance this dress is 80% rayon, 15% polyester, and 5% spandex. Both rayon and spandex are very forgiving and stretchy so there shouldn't be any issues with you bump fitting in the dress comfortably. 

I hope I was able to provide you guys with some wardrobe inspiration!! Don't forget to check the links below for similar styles of this look! Let me know what you guys think! Would you wear this? :)

Thank you for reading!!

Product Review: New Baby Gift Idea + More

First Product Review: Craft-E-Family Personalized Baby Block 

This block was one of the first gift's I received from a dear friend of mine when my son Jaxon was born. As soon as I was settled in the hospital after giving birth to my son, I texted some close friends and family to tell them the great news that our son was finally here! Immediately my friend Jess asked for the specifics. How much he weighed, exact time he was born...all that good stuff. A couple days after arriving home from the hospital I had recieved a package that held this amazing little keepsake. So that right there tells you how fast they create this block and ship it to you. There turn around time is 1 day!!! ONE DAY! How awesome is that! 

The detail in this block is really beautiful. These are handcrafted and you can tell they truly care about their work. 

Craft-E-Family 

On this site you will find they do all sorts of baby blocks, Christmas gifts, gifts for teachers, and so on. They are extremely affordable so this is the perfect option if you don't want to spend too much but want to give something very special, personalized, and unique that they will cherish forever. Another great thing about this company is if there IS an error on the block, they will replace it at no extra charge! Talk about awesome customer service!! I can't say good enough things about this company. 

I want to give you guys two other options as well that I have come across that I found to be super unique. I discovered The Birth Poster recently and I am seriously obsessed. I NEEEED this for both my kids. It's an illustration of your child with their actual size from when they are born. The poster also displays their name, height, weight, date of birth and time of birth. This option is a little more pricy but they provide free shipping!  Below, you'll see an example of how beautiful the illustrations are.

The Birth Poster 

The last unique gift that I wanted to share with you guys would be the most expensive option, yet just as precious and unique as the first two. Ultrasound Keepsakes!! Another thing I NEEEED (hear this Gil?! *wink, wink*) for both of my children. Letter and Knot Co. creates beautiful ultrasound keepsakes where you send them a picture of your ultrasound and they laser etch it into a wood of your choice. It's an awesome way to preserve those precious first photos of your children. Below, you can see how beautiful these pieces come out. 

I hope I was able to provide you guys with some unique gifts that you can gift someone close to you guys or even for yourself!! I know sometimes it's hard to think about what to ask for, for Mother's Day or what to get your mommy friends when they bring their babies home. I will provide the links to all these awesome gift ideas and a couple more. Let me know if you guys end up getting any of these!! 

Thank you for reading!! Happy shopping!!

About The Love Of My Life

 

Meet the love of my life: Gil. How this man has changed my life in ways that I could never have dreamed of. 

Gil is a 29 year old veteran who served in the Marine Corps from 2007 to 2011.He was stationed in Iwakuni Japan for 2 years then San Diego, California for the rest of his military career. In 2014 he was hired as a Police Officer in his dream town in which we now happily reside in. Hubby LOVES action, so he naturally he is involved in two swat teams and does sniper for both. People often ask how I do it....the answer is easy. This is his passion. This is what he was designed and destined to do. How can I not support that? Someone has to do these jobs, and if he is willing to do it, I MUST support him. Trust me in when I say that NO ONE is prouder of this man than I am.

My husband is truly the most selfless man I know. From the moment I met Gil, I noticed how drawn people were to him. He has this....energy about him. One that is simply undeniable. One that draws you in. One that makes you immediately trust him. One that truly makes an impact on you. I can't explain it but I can promise you that he has left an unexplainable impression on everyone he has ever met. Gil is the type of person who if he sees someone broken down on the side of the road, he doesn't even think twice about pulling over to help them. I've literally seen him push an old man in a dead electric wheel chair in the rain all the way to the man's home. He really does has the most purest heart. When he loves, he loves HARD AND DEEP. This goes for friends and family.

I am not sure what I did so right in life to deserve this man, but I thank God for him every single day. He is my GREATEST blessing. My life is what it is because of him. I never EVER have to question his love for me and my son. I am so thankful and grateful for him. 

I would love to bore you all with how we met, but that's for another blog post. :)

To my husband, 

You'll never really know how much I love you. 

Love,

Alexi xo
