Happy Holidays!

I can’t believe Christmas is literally just around the corner! This year I actually decided to be proactive and get our shopping done early. In the past we have usually waited till Christmas Eve to do it all, but I’m pretty happy with how this year is turning out haha. So proud of us! (thank you to Amazon and Cyber Monday) Online shopping saves me.

But for all of you who are still searching for the perfect gift, make sure to check out this Be Classy Ju-Ju-Be- Diaper bag (click on the pink link above to get the one I have)! So, let me tell you a little story. My first diaper bag was a Ju-Ju-Be bag, it was my hospital bag, my favorite travel bag, and through all these years still looks brand new… and now I have 3 of them haha. I love how spacious they are and they don’t even look like diaper bags… they are basically a glorified purse. It’s seriously an amazing gift!

Well, I hope you all have the best Holiday Season with your loved ones!

Thanks for stopping by.

Oral-B Power Toothbrush

ORAL-B Power Toothbrush

Hello Friends!

How are all my babes doing? I know it’s been a hot minute since I have been on here but I just had to share this amazing Oral-B power toothbrush with you all haha. Ok, so first off it was so entertaining that Aiden wanted one of his own… plus he would just stare at me with “what the heck is that?” Look on his face the whole time I was using it lol. I wish I had videod it!

Second, I was super curious to see what the fuss about this toothbrush was all about. It’s one of a five series Oral-B power toothbrushes and they are the only power toothbrushes that have gotten the ADA (American Dental Association) seal of acceptance. So you know they’re legit!

I’m a HUGE advocate for good dental hygiene. I love the feeling of when you come out of the dentist with fresh, sparkling teeth! And what I love the most about this toothbrush is that it not only makes me feel like I’m always as clean as I am when I leave the dentist, but it’s so thorough that it cleans my wisdom teeth (that I still need to get removed lol)! I’m honestly amazed and completely obsessed!

I officially can never ever go back to a regular toothbrush ever again haha… plus their travel case makes it super conveinient to take anywhere I go.

Go try one out for yourself… your teeth will thank me later 😉

Happy Lovers Day!

I know Valentines Day is still a week away but I wanted to share with you all our V-Day look. I’m a hopeless romantic so I fell instantly in love with this off the shoulder, red, lace Theia dress. I mean, seriously… just look at it!! And the shoes are a look-a-like of the Aminah Abdul Jillil suede bow pumps but at a much more affordable price (I’m all about them deals haha).

Hope you all have some fun plans for the holiday and thanks for stopping by!

BBG FAQ

BBG (Bikini Body Guide) app click HERE

Hi Friends!

First of all, thank you SO much for all your support and kind words! I wish I could hug and thank each of you in person because I feel like words are insufficient. This fitness journey of mine has truly been life changing and I love sharing and helping as many of you as I can. I have had tons of questions about the Kayla Itsines BBG workouts so here are some answers to some FAQ. 🙂

What is BBG? It is the Bikini Body Guide workouts created by Kayla Itsines and Tobi Pearce.

Do you use her app or the guides? I use her app and the link to it is in pink above.

Do you use her meal plans or do your own? I do my own meal plans. I’m not the most experienced cook so I prefer my meals to be as simple as possible!

What do you eat? I have started a new tradition that I start every January. I go on a strict only protein, fruits, veggies, healthy fats, and very few carbs diet for 12 weeks. I drink TONS of water and each week I have 1 cheat meal and dessert. My goal with this diet is to learn all about healthy options and substitutes for my favorite foods. It’s not necessarily a “diet”…. it’s a lifestyle.

Here is a food schedule that I like to do…

BREAKFAST: Kind Bar and a banana or apple (I don’t like to eat too much in the morning)

LUNCH: Avocado toast with sliced tomatoes on top or almond butter and honey toast

DINNER: Steamed veggies and grilled salmon

SNACKS: Fruits, veggies, almonds

DRINKS: I only drink water I make sure to drink 68oz (4 16.9oz water bottles)

How much of your diet did you change? ALL OF IT! 80% of how you look is what you eat. So don’t just workout and eat whatever and expect to look amazing. Change your whole lifestyle… don’t plan on this being temporary.

How do you complete the circuits? I do the circuits as many times as I can until the timer goes off. I go as fast as I can but make sure that I am keeping good form. Working out with correct form and making sure that you’re truly working the muscle helps you get the best and safest workout! Bad form = injuries! So make sure that you are listening to your body and if there is a sharp pain then you’re either doing the exercise in bad form or you need to take it easy. Her mini how-to videos on the app are great to help you know how to do an exercise.

Do you do strictly BBG or do you do other workouts as well? I strictly do BBG but lately I like to add some extra butt exercises. I like to do yoga for my LISS sometimes instead of walking on an incline (incline: 15 and speed: 2.5-3) all the time. It’s good to change things up!

Do you go to the gym or do you have equipment at home? I go to the gym.. I just can’t get motivated at home so it’s worth it to me to have a gym membership. Plus they have everything I need there and I get time for myself because of the childcare. But if you’re a home workout person then that’s great! these workouts require some equipment but not tons. So you can easily get by with some at home stuff.

How long did it take for you to start seeing change? 5 weeks… it took me 5 weeks to lose 2 pounds! it’s not going to be fast, it’s not going to be easy, it will kill you emotionally and physically. BUT it will be worth it! There is no pill or quick fix.. you won’t lose 10lbs in a week. give yourself a realistic timeline and just put your head down and work for it. In a year, you’ll look back and be glad you started today!

How do you stay motivated and consistent? COMMITMENT is KEY! You have to decide that you will keep up with your eating and workouts even on the bad days. Make it a priority and plan it into your schedule. If you don’t have a set time to go to the gym then you will always push it off and end up not going. And most of all!! Find a way in yourself to keep going… for me, I would look in the mirror and ask if I was happy with what I saw. If I said no, then I would get ready and go without another thought.

The only person in this world who can change your life is yourself!! So stop giving yourself excuses and do something about whatever it is you’re unhappy with. Be strong and believe in yourself! YOU CAN DO THIS!

Becca

New Year Resolutions 2017

“For what it’s worth, it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald

Happy almost New Year!

I can’t believe that another year has come and gone! Time is seriously going by way too fast! That’s one of the reasons why I started taking resolutions so seriously. At the start of each new year, I select one big thing to focus on for that year. Picking one goal has been the best and most realistic thing for me to do instead of having a long list of ideas and not sticking to any after January haha (you know what I mean… 😜).

I have been doing this successfully for 3 years! I usually pick either something that I am insecure or unhappy with like… 2016 I chose to focus on health and fitness (losing all my baby weight). 2015 I chose starting my blog (which was extremely intimidating because I had no idea what I was doing!).. and 2014 I chose to focus on my skin care and how to apply makeup properly.

By doing this every year, I have transformed an insecurity into a strength! Which in the long run, has helped me over come huge personal obsticals and made me a happier person. I try to select something that is personal instead of a general family goal because it was important to me to take care of myself so I can give more to my family.

This coming new year (2017) I have decided to make it my next level year! I want to take everything I have been working on and take it all to the next level. So here is the break down..

My Blog:

My goal this year is to go to fashion week for the first time and start working on a bigger scale with bigger companies.

Fitness:

Every January I will begin a 12 week extreme clean eating tradition to help jump start a healthy new year. I want to get a six pack this year!

Skin Care & Beauty:

I want to continue to find new and amazing ways to help me to look and feel my best:)

LipSense:

And last but not least, my new adventure with SeneGence! This has been something I have been working on for only 3 months and has helped me not only make some extra money but has been helping my husband and I reach our financial goals! I never thought that I would be in the position that I could actually make a difference in our family’s finances. Just in December alone, I made $2k (which is more then I have ever made from my past jobs)!! So my goal this year is to continue succeeding and growing to help our family reach our financial goals by the end of the year.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that this year will be my GIRL BOSS year! It’s time to kick everything up a notch and change our lives! After all, you’re the only one who has the ability to change anything for yourself. So what are you waiting for? Let’s make 2017 a LIFE CHANGING YEAR!

Adopt Don’t Shop This Christmas

Humane Society // photos: Peace Photo

Hello Friends,

So remember that day that I spent at the Human Society? You guys, it was one of the best shoots I’ve ever done!! First of all, it was so fun getting together with these ladies and playing with cute dogs. But what I loved the most was giving these sweet animals a day away from their kennel and some needed one-on-one time to play in the fresh grass and just be cared for.

Since I was a little girl I have loved dogs. I love all animals but dogs especially! So when I walked in and saw Doc’s cute little face, I just couldn’t resist picking him up (Doc is that little chihuahua’s name). It was love at first sight! Unfortunately, we decided as a family that it wasn’t the right time to add another member to the family. But I was SO close to taking him home!!

So this Christmas, if it’s the perfect time for you to add to your cute family… take the time to go to the humane society and see if one of those cuties catches your eye. Not only will you make their day.. but you will give that animal a second chance to have a home and life.

Merry Christmas everyone:)

Becca

Blanqi Black Friday!

BLANQI BLACK FRIDAY SALE // PHOTOGRAPHY: Peace Photo

Hello friends!

I’m sorry I’ve been so horrible about posting on my blog lately. Life has been so busy that I literally forgot that Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK!! What!! So yeah, for me.. like my most recent post, Halloween was yesterday haha. Anyways, now that we are all approaching the best time of year, lets chat about Black Friday! I have a TON of great deals coming your way so make sure to keep an eye out for them because you don’t want to miss out on my favorite gifts to give this season. Like these Blanqi Leggings!

Guys, I literally live in these haha! Now that Aiden has been walking around like he owns the place, I have officially begun the mom chase. And to survive such constant cardio, these babies have been my saving grace (*hands raised emoji… I need emoji’s on my laptop). They are SO comfy and breathable plus they come up pretty high so it helps my PP body look smooth under my clothes. So believe me when I say that anyone that gets these will be EXTREMELY happy! Because of their high waist support, its a great present for new breastfeeding moms!

Well loves, have the best weekend ever and thank you for stopping by!

xoxo,

Becca
