15 Spring Must Have's for Mama's Closet



Hey hey mama!

Here we are finally getting over this horrid stomach bug and got power back just in time for another winter storm, looking like blizzard type inches and guys I am so over it. Over all of it. This post was suppose to go up last week so bare with me as I catch up during nap time! So I have decided that I am concentrating warmer temps. And a sweet family vacation we have planned for next month. First up, spring must have's that I can pack and will take me through spring and summer.


love all of this line for mama and baby but these overalls are everything. (insert hubby rolling his confused eyes at them). I ordered ones for my minis too!

Adorable Straw Cross-body Bag! A perfect bag to tote around snacks and wipes, but make it a cross-body and you will for sure be wearing it all season long. love this black one.

Oversized Denim Jacket! A GREAT FITTING DENIM JACKET WILL BE A FOREVER CLOSET STAPLE FOR SPRING, SUMMER NIGHTS AND ALL THE WAY TILL FALL!

Wrap Top THIS GORGEOUS TOP WILL BE PACKED TO BE WORN OVER MY SWIMSUIT, IS NURSING FRIENDLY AND CAN QUICKLY BE DRESSED UP OR DOWN!

Midi Dress (love this one too!!) WEAR THIS DRESS FOR EASTER AND THEN ALL THROUGH SPRING AND SUMMER (WITH WEDGES, SLIDES EVEN CUTE SNEAKERS!)

Cropped Denim UPDATE YOUR DENIM WITH A CROPPED PAIR WITH A FLARE! THEY GO PERFECT WITH SLIDES, SNEAKERS OR A HEEL.

Hoop Earrings! HOOP EARRINGS ARE MY JAMN! SO CUTE FOR EVERY DAY OR DRESSED UP. MAKE YOU FEEL PUT TOGETHER.

Straw Fedora INVEST IN A STRAW FEDORA, INSTANT CURE TO A BAD HAIR DAY AND MAKES YOUR AIR DRIED HAIR LOOK CHIC.

Striped Top A STRIPED BOATNECK TOP IS FLATTERING AND GOES W/ EVERYTHING!

Midi Gingham Skirt A MIDI SKIRT CAN BE PAIRED WITH WEDGES OR SLIDES, WORN HIGH-WAISTED OR LOWER (AS A MAXI) EVEN OVER A SWIMSUIT ON VACATION!

A light weight anorak jacket. AN ABSOLUTE MUST IN THIS CRAZY NEW ENGLAND WEATHER. LOVE HOW THIS ONE PULLS IN AT THE WAIST AND WILL COVER BABY SPITUP TOPS AT THE CAR POOL LINE. THIS WHITE ONE IS COMING HOME TO MEEEEE.

Yoga Bra & Leggings. I LIKE TO UPDATE WITH A NICE PAIR OF LEGGINGS & YOGA BRA EVERY SEASON BECAUSE THESE GET THE MOST USE FROM MY CLOSET. EVEN WHEN I AM NOT WORKING OUT, SO TOSS OUT THE DRAWER FULL AND HAVE TWO GREAT PAIRS THAT YOU CAN ROTATE & THAT YOU LOOK GREAT IN. CAN'T WAIT TO WEAR THESE, I HAVE THE BLACK FROM LAST YEAR AND LOVE!!

 

What are the pieces you buy every year for your spring wardrobe?

Also, I am still working on the newsletter from last week, with the tot school details, but mama has been on stomach duty since last Wednesday and currently recovering herself. So I thank you for your patience! It's coming!!

Winter Beautycounter Favorites



hey hey lovelies!

We made it!!! TGIF. It's going to be super cold this weekend so we have a little meal prepping, cleaned the house and I finally got ready. AKA showered and threw on a little eye liner and my Dew foundation because mama looks TIRED.

And it got me thinking that I have been promising my Beautycounter favorites for a while now, so I thought I'd squeeze it in since some of them are part of the Winter Sale until Sunday. I'm also including a few things I am about to order from the sale. :)

 

But first let me tell you a little about why I choose Beautycounter. 4 years ago I brought home a tiny preemie baby, with super sensitive skin. And I was lucky enough to have already started eating cleaner, more organic foods, more in season fruits and veggies and reading INGREDIENTS while pregnant. But bringing home my tiny Z from the NICU ignited a fire in me to search for better quality products (from cleaning products, to detergent, soap and anything that touched the little ones skin).

And the more I read about ingredients, especially in anti-aging products, the more I knew I had to find better. And gosh did I try. Skincare was semi easy, but pricey but I could NOT find non-toxic makeup that I loved. In come Beautycounter, about a year ago and goodness I was sold. Started with sunscreen and then I dipped into the rest!

It took me a while of introducing other people to the product before I jumped on the wagon on becoming a consultant. Mainly for the discount (wooohoooo!!) but now I feel like I have to share, like I am hurting you by not telling you about skincare & makeup that not only are safe for you but that WORK. So here I am, doing what I feel like I have to do, spreading the word on safer skin.

I have a long way to go to replace all of my products but hoping to get there with you guys, so please ask away with any questions or better yet some BC reviews.

 

Ok so here are the favs and I have a lot under skincare because for me winter is when my skin needs a lot more love.

Cleansing balm - magic in a bottle. and a very large bottle at that. I use this as a cleanser in the evenings and as an overnight mask a couple nights a week. This ultra moisturizing balm can be used on cracked dry skin (like sensitive teething baby cheeks, as a makeup primer (my favorite!!) and even a lip moisturizer. And although it's the most expensive BC item in my drawer the ingredients are so great that a tiny bit goes a long way.

Rejuvenating Night Cream - moisturizes your skin as you sleep and I wake up with my skin that looks so hydrated and glowy in the AM. Formulated with marine extracts and safflower oleosomes, the cream helps intensify the nightly cycle of natural skin repair.

( I really want to try this Rescue Eye Cream!! )

Nourishing Cream Exfoliator - I use this in the shower, because multi-tasking. Love that it cleans without feeling like it strips my skin of moisture. Non-abrasive jojoba beads help slough off dry skin, while organic coconut oil and aloe soothe and hydrate.

Charcoal Cleansing Bar - My friend Sara sent a sample of this to me before I joined and I am so sad that I hadn't tried it before. I started seeing a difference in a week and a month in and it's a big difference. It's like a detox for your face. Made with antioxidant-rich, organic green tea and hydrating organic coconut oil, the gentle formula can be used daily on your face and body.

Rejuvenating Day Cream - A little goes a long way with this, super moisturizing and brightening day cream. I wear it every day.

(I've heard amazing things about this day cream too)

The Matte Bronzer (both #1 & #2 are on sale!) . Love this bronzer!!! not cakey at all and I use it for contouring too.

I have both foundations but for every day I love Dew Skin Moisturizing Coverage - which is a tinted moisturizer, light coverage but leaves your skin glowing.

Eye liner - I have had this for a month and I AM IN LOVE. It goes on smooth, last all day and it feels great to know it's non toxic when going pretty much in my eye!

I would like to try this brightening facial oil, actually I am adding all three to my collection because winter skin is killing my glow... lol Also ordered this Brightening Facial Mist, (all three of the mists are on sale!) which I can't wait to try.

Hope this is helpful for all of you lovelies that requested my favorites, but seriously message me with any and all questions, happy to talk about all of these or your skin needs. And I'll be sending out a set of samples to all orders over $100!
