Navigating Beauty & Life—now with a bump 🤰🏻
Fresh blog drops: Mon & Thu ☕
Maternity Capsule Wardrobe ⬇️
Maternity doesn’t have to mean one-time use! Even Maternity doesn’t have to mean one-time use! Even on the earliest days of my pregnancy, i knew that comfort is my top priority, and I won’t be sold on the idea of a whole new wardrobe just for nine months. If you know me, you know I’m all about intentionality (and staying cool in this heat! ☀️). I’ve been avoiding anything tight on the bump—partly for the comfort, and partly because my mind says less tension = less stress (aka stretchmarks 🤞🏼) on my skin. So, I’ve curated a maternity capsule wardrobe that feels like me. No heavy elastics or maternity labels; just 10 comfortable pieces that I can actually transition into postpartum life and beyond. A peek into the edit: 🌿 Survival Basics: The loose tees and t-shirt dresses that got me through trimester one. ☁️ All-Trimester Essentials: Scrunch-back skirts and coords that grow with me (the real MVPs). 🏠 The Home Edit: Breezy cropped tops and soft bottoms for those slow days in the condo. It’s about being resourceful so I can invest in pieces that last, rather than items that end up in the to-donate bin by next year. The full 10-piece breakdown is live on the blog! Link in bio and comments below. P.S. If you’re catching up on the journey, you can also find my full First and Second Trimester Expense breakdowns on the site too! Are you team Maternity Clothes or are you team Upsize and Reuse? Let’s chat in the comments! 👇 #maternityfashion #maternitystyle #minimalistmama #postpartumstyle #firsttimeparents
Moms in the “all’s a workout” phase, i see you 🤍 Moms in the “all’s a workout” phase, i see you 🤍 Pregnancy is often described in beautiful, sweeping terms, and, indeed, it is! It’s a literal miracle. But the (not-so) little things that your body goes through daily? That’s a whole different story. 🫠 From the midnight bathroom runs to realizing your favorite tops are now midriffs, the physical toll is real. I’m learning to be patient with this new version of my body, even on the days when the sciatica makes it hard to move. It’s a heavy lift, but the reward is going to be so worth it. 🕯️✨ Which “betrayal” hit you the hardest? Or if you’re in the thick of it, how are you taking care of yourself today? #pregnancyreality #pregnancylife #maternityjourney #pregnancyjourney #firsttimeparents
Mamas, don’t get swayed by the “must-have” noise! Mamas, don’t get swayed by the “must-have” noise! 🕵️‍♀️🤰🏻 It’s so easy to feel like we need everything people recommend. But I’ve learned how important it is to stay grounded and focus on what actually works for us. We all have different living styles! Since we’re in a condo and leaning into that minimalist vibe, I’m skipping 10 popular items—like bulky furniture and newborn shoes (they don’t walk yet, anyway! lol). 👟🚫 Apart from my “I won’t buy” list, I also shared the specific questions I asked myself while nesting. It’ll help you figure out your own essentials based on your lifestyle and space! 🏠✨ Check out the full blog at the link in my bio! 🔗 What’s one baby item you think is a total waste of money? Let’s chat in the comments! 👇 #babyessentials #nesting #intentionalparenting #secondtrimester #firsttimeparents
Just why is every nursery item a “must-have”? 😒 E Just why is every nursery item a “must-have”? 😒 Every list I find adds 10 more “essentials” and I really don’t wanna give in to overconsumption! We’re currently at the nesting phase and while we finalize our list, let me eat my feelings until we swipe our cards at the essentials of all the essentials. 🤭 Help a girl de-clutter her brain! What’s one nursery item everyone hyped up that you actually never used? Let’s save some coins (and my sanity) in the comments! 👇✨ #smartparenting #nestingmode #babyessentials #pregnancyjourney #firsttimeparents
Cabbage-sized and swimsuit-obsessed! 🥬👙 Current m Cabbage-sized and swimsuit-obsessed! 🥬👙 Current mood: If it’s not stretchy, I’m probably not wearing it. 🙅🏻‍♀️ Pregnancy is one big season of change, and our wardrobes have to keep up! I’ve recently realized that swimsuits are the ultimate pregnancy-approved hack for comfort, but for the days I actually have to leave the water, I need support that doesn’t feel like a chore. 😮‍💨 I just dropped a fresh review of the maternity bras that are saving my life (and my back) right now. I’ve tested the fabrics and the fit so you don’t have to! Check out the new post at the link in my bio! 🥂 #maternitystyle #secondtrimester #pregnancyjourney #motherhoodjourney #maternityfashion
The pace isn’t the point. It’s the intention behin The pace isn’t the point. It’s the intention behind it. 🤍 There’s so much noise about being left behind, as mamas like me tend to walk slower than usual. To be honest, it used to frustrate me, too. I’d get mad and pout at my husband for not waiting for me. But when I tried to romanticize the little things, my perspective shifted. Now, I’ve grown to love the view of my husband who is always two steps ahead, already clearing the path for us and our little one 💙🥹 #intentionalparenting #pregnancyjourney #firsttimeparents #romanticizinglife #parenthoodjourney
