Ellie box

Hello loves! Happy Friday. I feel like its been a minute since I last blogged. Life has been keeping me busy and I have been learning to balance everything that comes my way. I have been major slacking with things but the gym has been a constant thing that I have stuck to. I am big on every woman loving themselves for exactly who they are. Society shouldn't determine who we are or what we look like. Even though I struggle from time to time to find the love for my body on the outside, I am learning to love the process of bettering myself. Since the gym is a second home for Derek and I, I am always on the lookout for new workout gear. Whether it be clothing, supplements, shoes, food, etc. So when I cam across Ellie I just knew it was the perfect thing for me! Ellie is a monthly subscription box that comes with 5 items for anyone who is active. This was March's box and I am obsessed with everything that came in it! And are you kidding me with the blue? Completely obsessed! And this rose gold bottle, I take it with me everywhere. Seriously my favorite thing to drink water out of because it keeps it cold and the ice doesn't melt. And that gray towel, its a towel yoga mat. How perfect is that? And whats even more perfect is its a killer of a deal. Only $49.95 each month for 5 items that are worth much more than that. So if you are into fitness and always looking for new outfits or products to try, you need to try Ellie! Have a good weekend. Love you all!

Denim

Hello loves! How is it Monday already? I swear they always sneak up on me. Mondays are my day off so Derek and I have gone to the gym and have been doing things around the house. Spring fever has kicked in and I am deep cleaning and going through everything. This weather Utah has been having these past few days has been amazing and I never want it to end! So Im breaking out all my spring and summer wardrobe and I am loving it. Especially loving this denim skirt. The length is perfect and its so easy to slip on and off, not to mention its super comfy. I cant wait to transition it into spring and summer and pair it with cute wedges and heels, maybe even some sneakers! If you are like Derek and I, newlyweds who spent way too much before they were married haha and are on a budget. Then you look for pieces that you can wear through all seasons and get many different outfits from. So you will definitely be seeing a lot more of this skirt! But hey thats ok because really you has money to constantly be shopping? I wish I did but Im here to help you change up your look with pieces you already have! And if you are loving this denim skirt as much as me, head on over to my Instagram to see how you can get 20% off at the cutest little boutique! Thanks for following!

Palm

Hello loves! Its finally Friday and I am so ready for the weekend! One of my favorite things to do is take a little at home spa day for myself. That usually consists of a bubble bath, bath bombs, scrubs, facial masks, staying in comfies and watching Netflix. With the products that I use on my skin I am always looking for ones made with natural ingredients instead of being made up of chemicals. I found Palm products and not only are their products amazing, what they stand for is even more amazing. For every two bars of either soap or lotion they sell, they give a bar of soap to an orphanage or community. How awesome is that?! I got their paradise lotion bar, coffee scrub and the grind. I have always been a fan of coffee scrubs, I don't drink coffee but I love what the scrubs do for my skin. The paradise lotion bar is an awesome alternative to liquid lotion and you use it just like you would with normal lotion. The grind is a bar of soap with coffee beans, not only exfoliating your skin but also acting as a massager. I have used the grind bar after the gym and it helps to relieve my sore muscles. If you love natural products made for a good cause, then you will love Palm. Thanks for following!

Bison socks

Hello loves! Its almost the weekend, you can do it! Today was my day off so Derek and I went to the gym and the rest of the day was for hanging out at home and then hot tubbing. We are always on the move so some lazy days are just what we need. Not all the time because then I start feeling like the worlds biggest slob haha. And when I am hanging out at home 90% of the time I am wearing socks because well Im obsessed. And these Woven Pear socks are some of my favorites! You saw their cactus print socks in a previous post and I just couldn't help myself with getting these cute bison print ones. They have so many cute prints to choose from and not to mention they are super comfy. Im to the point if all I get are socks for holidays then I am one happy girl haha. And yes I am one of those people that will wear my socks with my "jesus sandals" haha the ones that you get from Hawaii. Or jandals as we like to call them! Either way, no matter how you wear woven pear socks you will be in love with how cute your feet look. And I think that you need these ones because well they are the cutest! And they have dream catchers on the bottom. Seriously obsessed. Love you all!

Pink Sneaks

**Thanks to Jane for sponsoring this post 

Hello loves! I hope that this post finds you well! Do any of you feel like its been a long and exhausting week, and its only Wednesday! haha. And can it just be warm already? Im craving spring and summer so even if theres piles of snow everywhere, I'm breaking out my dresses. My favorite way to wear a dress is to pair it with my favorite sneakers! I love the way dresses are so versatile and really no matter what you pair them with they will always look good. And these slip on sneakers are giving me life. The pattern, the shade of pink and they are super comfy to wear! I will be wearing them more than I should this spring and summer but can you blame me? Paired with pants, shorts or dresses, I know they are going to be a huge staple in my spring/summer wardrobe! I got them off of Jane and if you haven't shopped from them, you need to! Jane is an amazing site that has clothing, decor and children's clothing for the fraction of the price. So you could get that dress you have been eyeing at the boutique for way cheaper! They add daily deals and its almost addicting to be on it everyday to see the new things that they add. And it doesn't hurt that you will be saving some money, so your husband shouldn't have to worry too much haha. And don't tell him I told you! Love you all xoxo

Self image

Hello loves! Its Monday, again haha. I hope that it wasn't too brutal on you! Today I want to get a little personal and talk about self image/self love. Especially today with society telling us what we should look like, its hard for us women to truly love ourselves. I have struggled with it ever since I can remember and still today it is a huge factor. Comparison is so hard and comes so easily, especially with social media. Women are skinny, fit, tan, perfect always. As social media shows right? We get so caught up in feeling inadequate, wishing we could be different, look different. Because what we see on Instagram and Facebook, everyones lives are so much better than our own. And what we don't realize is that behind social media, everyone has their struggles. I am the most I have ever weighed. I have the worlds biggest sweet tooth and I would be lying if I said I didn't love to drink coke everyday. I have unwanted fat everywhere on my body and my cellulite on my but, you can see through my leggings. I don't have abs and some days have a hard time getting to motivation to even go to the gym. Derek and everyone can sit there and tell me I am beautiful no matter what and sometimes I don't believe it. We are our own worst critic. But slowly I am learning to love my body in the process of bettering myself. Every woman should love everything about them, including their flaws. But we should be working daily to better ourselves. Better than what we were yesterday. There is nothing wrong with loving yourself at 150 pounds and then loving yourself at 130. Its ok to love your fat and its ok to love the fat that you have lost. Being a woman is hard but I want to say something. You are imperfectly perfect. You are gorgeous no matter what the scale says or what society tries to tell you. You will go through many stages in life learning to love your body but don't ever let anyone convince you that you aren't worth it. Getting a little real and raw because sometimes I need to hear it too. So to all of you, you are all beautiful humans who deserve as much recognition as the models we see on the runway. Love you all! xoxo
