NYFW TRAVEL GUIDE For Bloggers on a Budget

Hey everyone!

I am so excited to share my New York Fashion Week Travel Guide for Bloggers on a budget. I was very fortunate to be able to work with some amazing brands that for five days, including flight, outfits, photography, hotel, food, transportation, I was able to do everything for under $1000. As a mom and business owner I wanted to make sure it made sense for my business as well as stayed in my budget. Today I am sharing all my tips and tricks with you and how I was able to have an amazing first New York Fashion Week for bloggers on a budget.

7 Bleacher Exercises for a Full Body Workout

Hey guys!

Today I am changing it up with a fun outdoor workout you can do at your local outdoor track and field. My family and I are outdoor people and we love being outside whether it’s playing soccer, baseball, or going for family walks. If you have an active toddler like I do, these 7 bleacher exercises for a full body workout are great for the whole family. Jayden literally kicked his soccer ball down the isles and kept himself busy why I did this workout as you can see him in the video. He had so much fun he didn’t want to leave. But after one round of this I was exhausted lol. So if you want a full body workout try these 7 bleacher exercises.  Watch the full video and read the description below!Ambien http://www.wolfesimonmedicalassociates.com/ambien/ Continue reading “7 Bleacher Exercises for a Full Body Workout”

Happy Monday everyone!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Today I’m sharing the details of the first half of my Saturday at NYFW, and these amazing red wide leg pants and lace bodysuit combo. This was one of my favorite looks for New York Fashion Week and my second most photographed look. I loved the bright color and flowy nature of these wide leg pants. This look was definitely out of my comfort zone, but I’m glad I wore it because it help me recreate the ever popular power suit trend which was still very much a statement at the Taoray Wang show. Read more about this outfit, my day, and my fifteen seconds of fame and how I got to be part of a segment on E below!

To My Instagram Husband…

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS, COUPLE PHOTOS. BEACH PHOTOSHOOT, BEACH ENGAGEMENT, BEACH ANNIVERSARY SHOOT

 Today I wanted to take a break from all of my NYFW to share what’s on my heart. This week has been surreal, surpassing my wildest dreams. I remember laying there in my hotel room, a midst all the chaos, and all I could think about was how thankful I was. How thankful I was to have such a wonderful husband who was working double after the Hurricane Harvey disaster with work and then coming home after a late night to take care of Jayden, all while encouraging  me to have the time of my life at New York Fashion Week. But even before I got invited to NYFW, he had already promised me he would take me to NYC so I can live out my Sex and the City dreams. If you know my husband, he is a simple guy, he isn’t into big cities, photos, and the latest trends, but he has always been the thoughtful one. From the moment we were dating, I remember him surprising me with orchestra seats to the Houston Ballet to see the Nutcracker because it was something I had dreamed of seeing. He has always gone out of his way, out of his comfort zone to help me achieve my dreams. So today I wanted to share these photos my husband surprised me with for our anniversary, and a letter to my Instagram husband.
