PRETTY PREGNANT<3
Are you pregnant?
If it is possible and you are wondering right now hmm maybe? Then you came to the right spot because I am here right now to tell you how to keep it pretty and glamorous while you become pretty pregnant and pretty big!
This post does not only go out to the ladies with a bun in the oven this can be related to by women going through any change in their life or who are having a hard time finding time to keep it pretty so, welcome all!
# 1 - Keep exercise in your life always. even if it means at 15 minute walk that has become part of your own therapy or your everyday routine- stay active or moving! Getting at least 30 minutes of sweat time in a day can lift your spirits and bring out that pep in your step! I always feel energized, excited and ready for life after I do any sort of physical activity and you will too if you keep it around!
# 2 - have hobbies- Why?! Because you are meant to explore all the world has to offer and find those random things that you love to do!! They are out there for you to find and then do, to keep your life fun! We all indulge in watching tv sometimes ( i am in love with mad men right now!!! ) but it really isn't a hobbie and shouldn't be your main go to. When you keep fun activities in your life that you enjoy you are filled with fun that you can share with everyone around you and that is really pretty=)
# 3 - Catch a ray. Sun not only makes you happy but a little tan can perk ya look right up! Go outside and grab some NATURAL rays for a glow no one can resist! ( Spray tan even- try to avoid the beds! ) I used to use the beds and usually do to prep for summer each year but this year being that I am pregnant & obvi can not and neither can you other prego women, I decided why not just put an end to it now and save my skin for later. ( I don't judge people who use the bed it is truly relaxing and weirdly addictive )
# 4 - ( My favorite Number! ) Have a go- to makeup routine that is quick, easy, light, good for day or night, not messy, can be taken on the go, and has a splash of color. This has to be a kit that has all things necessary but can be done in 5 minutes for everyday use. Example I will use mine: A bare minerals kit that is in a zip up case with a mini concealer, foundation, touch up veil, bronzer and illumiantor. Face done in these light powders so it is appropriate for day, feels light for the summer hot days and leaves ya skin looking fresh! Next I use brown eyeliner ( one for hazel eyes ) and then mascara! OH yeah something for the lips- I have anywhere form 3-7 lips colors in my purse, cant help it I love them all<3 ( my go to summer lip is: Clinique chubby stick in super strawberry )
# 5 - Don't change too much. This is different for pregnant vs. non pregnant girls but in the big picture not really. But I'm going to break it down separate to start:
PREGNANT: If you are pregnant your body is going to go through enough changes you do not have to alter your entire lifestyle like society make you feel. Yes do stop drinking and doing dangerous activities or jumping from objects. But don't stop caring about yourself and don't stop working out. Don't stop having friends and only eating a ton of food because your pregnant and your a loud to. Keep yourself confident and happy. Pamper yourself!!!!! Massages, pedicures, a cute purse, new hair cut- idk whatever your bliss is! But be happy because your making a miracle and don't feed into the stereotype of being miserable. Your friends do want to still hangout with you but not if your miserable and a downer! You are still hot- the belly is natural and if you feel like you dont like the way your body is changing - change it! Walking is so therapeutic and great for the baby and you- bonding walk<3
NON PREGNANT: Don't change to be the new friend you just met because it looks like her life is the s*** on social media. Being young after college or just uncomfortable with your self at anytime can make you want to change and be whatever vibe is around you. But i think society and social media is making people think they have to be something they are not and maybe don't even want to be. Girls are left thinking they need to be sex objects all the time or a fitness bikini model because Instagram has them all over the place. Its worse cause its even leading our younger generation to think they need to be provocative. Don't feed into the feed! That is going to be my next post and it will be more on this topic- so come back to discuss it more if you feel strongly about it too!! BUT!!
Remember: you are always pretty and shining if you love yourself!!! And that is free and only something YOU can achieve by spending time with yourself and realizing who you are and what you are about! But by staying active, keeping hobbies, getting some sun, having the perfect on the go makeup plan and not changing to fit the mold you will shine like the north star that you are!<3
