We thought about going out to celebrate New Years since it’s our last one without a baby, but we eventually decided to stay in. I still wanted to get dressed up… I had a few too many days of post-holiday laziness in lounge wear. So I put on this new dress (it’s a little short right now due to the growing bump) with tights and that was enough for me.

I am crazy obsessed with all things cozy and lounge-y right now. At 29 weeks pregnant I want to be as comfortable as possible at all times. Topping my list of current favorites is this blanket by Leesa. You may remember my mattress post with Leesa last spring, well I’ve partnered with them again to share this yummy blanket. Which has been the perfect companion on the chilly rainy days we’ve had lately. It’s super soft, but actually heavy enough to keep me warm… and for someone who shakes like a Chihuahua when they’re cold, that’s a huge win. It’s made from the same luxurious feeling fabric as their mattress cover and is double-sided for even more softness. It’s also Mackie approved, but that really doesn’t take too much….

Let’s talk hair!

Last week I was lucky enough to spend the day at Sassoon Salon in Costa Mesa. When it comes to my hair I’m pretty low maintenance, but I was due for a refresh. I’ve had long hair most of my life (aside from a few unfortunate haircuts) and plan on keeping it that way for now, but I’d been feeling blah about it lately. After a day being pampered at Sassoon I’m feeling much better and my hair is looking so much healthier, shinier and more natural.

In the winter I get sick of wearing pants everyday, even when it’s cold. So my solution has been dresses with jackets and layers, sometimes I throw on tights or over-the-knee boots if it’s really cold. I was able to brave it this day and wear my new floral dress with this suede jacket over. I have to admit, I was a little cold but it felt good to get out of my wardrobe rut. Plus it’s much more comfortable to throw a dress over the bump instead of pants.

Happy 2017! With the new year come all kinds of fitness and wellness goals and with that comes new activewear. Or at least that’s how I see it. 🙂 Now that I’m in the third trimester I’m trying to make better health decisions. I have to admit, the first two trimesters I was eating whatever baby I wanted, which was definitely not the most balanced diet, consisting of lots of carbs and sugar. Live and learn, right? I’m also trying to be a little more active. There’s not much I can do workout wise at this point, but getting out and going for short walks everyday is something I’m trying to do more. I have much more energy throughout the day when I do and I know it’s better for mine and baby’s health in the long run.
