Over the past few years, I’ve been asked a ton of questions about nursing bras!  And I always replied honestly that I had grabbed mine from Amazon & Target and they were cheap, ugly, and gave no support– but hey, they got the job done. Well… apparently there’s no time like the third & final baby to finally get my act together and research comfy, size-inclusive, actually-cute nursing bras! I went to Bella Bra Shop (offer A-O cups with 28-52 band size… amazing!) here in Dallas and got a lesson ALL the ins and outs of nursing bras.  I tried on approximately 10000 of them, and th ..read more

OK real talk… Upon hearing the name Princess Polly, one is like… Sooo, is this a clothing boutique for adults? It totally is, and I am on board!   I am so happy with the fit and quality of this brand, and I appreciate that they have ample plus size + sustainable options available. They gave us a discount code:  XOMOLLY. These are the looks and sizing details from my most recent tiktok video!  (excuse the janky photos below.. they are screen grabs from my videos) LOOK 1 black set (I’m in a m/l)– this is SO exceedingly comfy and sexy all at once!  Very soft, high end sweat ..read more

DISCLAIMER. I don’t think that health or treatment is one size fits all.  I think everyone reacts differently to medication. This is purely my experience, and has nothing to do with anyone else’s. A little background: I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was a kid.  I was put on every rx stimulant drug you can think of… And it helped! I stopped turning my homework in on crumpled construction paper instead of lined, I started remembering my books when I came to class, I stopped constantly having to go to detention.  The meds did made me paranoid and irritable at times, and when that ..read more

I know I’m a bit late to the Prime Day game,  but better late than never! I am going to cover 25 of my favorite Amazon sales items that I have personally bought, used, and loved. Enjoy the sales… You have until the end of the day to buy if you see something you need   40 oz tumbler mug (a great..in my opinion BETTER… alternative to the Stanley Cup mug) OR 50 oz tumbler mug (my precious!  What Matt & I use!) Bambody Period Panties (XS-6xl… size up. I recommend the 3 pack. Third party tested:  NO harmful PFAS!) These soft, ribbed kids PJs are the shizzz!  Th ..read more

Hello friends, I am trying to raise money for Everytown, an organization fighting to get reasonable gun regulations  in place to keep our kids safe.  So, I am donating 100% of my commissions to the organization until 2023, at which point we will reassess.  I feel super powerless, like many of you, but I’m hoping that this is one small thing we can all do to help. Some background:  I have never been an online creator  who makes a big bulk of my money from commissions, simply due to the fact that, relative to many other influencers, I’m not a huge product linker. a) Beca ..read more

*** Links below are affiliate.  This means that if you shop through one of my links, I earn a small commission.  All of my earned commissions are being donated to Everytown until 2023.   I have always heard great things about the brand Soma, but it had mostly been about their pajamas (evidently they’re magical but I have yet to try them!) and their bras.  I was super excited when I was invited to work with Casey (my girlfriend over at StreetsBeatsEats) to promote their swimwear!  I have had THE BEST experience with Soma. Their customer service has been fabulous. and I ..read more

As a somewhat out of the loop 38 year old mom, I am not always one for the hot new fashion trends– BUT, the recent athletic dresses craze has managed to get my attention.  While I’m by no means an athlete, I do love me some athleisure; and generally I am a fan of wearing one single piece of clothing on my entire body (in this case, an all-in-one bra/dress/built in shorts).  I am also attracted to the versatility of these dresses!  They seem appropriate + effortlessly cute for basically any daytime occasion, whether you’re at the playground, running errands, or headed to a lunch ..read more

I’ve tried a lot of skincare in my day.  Its a passion of mine that goes way back to my years in Dermatology sales…. I love trying different brands and products and seeing what’s out there!  My latest skincare  is perhaps the COOLEST brand I’ve ever tried; plus, my skin is looking fantastic while using it. It’s called Somebody, and it is women-owned (1/3 of the team Latina), cruelty-free, with eco-aware packaging.  I’ll get into the exact products I’m using, in the order I use them, below, but FYI they did give us a discount code:  Fashionveggie will get you 20% o ..read more

First off– Before showing you these awesome Amazon swimsuits, I would like to address that I’ve neglected my blog for about a year (!!!) … Life has truly been so busy, and the blog is the most time-intensive part of my job, so off the radar it fell. Some brief life updates in case you haven’t been following on the ‘gram (or unless the dreaded algorithm has hidden me!)– Matt got a new job back in August!  He is head of Impact at EarthX, and environmental organization based here in Dallas. Yall– HE IS WORKING HIS BUTT OFF, and I’m grateful, but wish things weren’t so stressful for him. &nbs ..read more
