I’m A Ninja

July 21, 2014 · In: LIFESTYLE, Uncategorized

Mall Mall-2

Mall-4Chris had a rock bottom closet moment yesterday=it has been 2 years since we went clothes shopping and everything was faded and shrunken. 

We literally updated his wardrobe by purchasing the EXACT same clothes in today’s versions. Black polos are a bit longer now and blue shorts are a tad shorter. We are the same people. 

What did I buy? Nothing. Why? I’m a ninja.

I live in a black moby wrap on top of a Target black tank and Old Navy black maxi skirt that is super pilly. Chris said I need an attachment for a sword. 

I’ll buy some clothes in about 17 pounds. Yay.

    But you look great in a maxi!!! Don’t sweat the pounds girl – you should have at least one piece that you feel beautiful in.

      Thanks, Ashley! I have a few things that fit that I can easily breastfeed in and I’m saving them for some outings this weekend. 🙂 I really do have a limited wardrobe and I kind of enjoy another area of minimalism in my life….but, hey, I can’t wait to treat myself to some cute clothes in the future!!!

      Thank you, Rowena! I always thought black was not my color and I wear SO much white. Now, I’m trying to blend into the background! I may go toward cream though soon…spit up camouflage! 🙂

      Girl, I am too comfortable, Nicole! I now have a phobia of pants, heels and denim. Hopefully that will subside with the pounds! 🙂 We are sleeping more overall but there are those days! It’s a roller coaster. A really cute roller coaster with chubby cheeks.

    Awwww, hang in there girl! I had to still wear my maternity clothes for about a month after I had Taylor! Also, I am also a ninja! I just used that phrase to describe my style last night! For me it is a New York City thing. We all wear black head to toe year round. Sometimes I am colorful but for my daily 9-5 in Manhattan I wear all black errerythang. It is slimming and looks chic and streamlined. Hope you are feeling well! xo

      LOl. I totally love that about New York. I always love that Agelina Jolie-white or black only style. Tank tops have never flattered me but it’s too hot with the baby and the weather here so I must. 🙂 Ninjas forever! lol

It looked so bad but wasn’t sure if it was just cosmetic thing or something I should get checked out for my health.

I was avoiding it and “waiting until I had time” to deal with it as a mom of 4.

I finally made time and l’m so glad I did.

This was the start of my health journey at 45.

This makes our weekdays so much less chaotic, and I don’t feel like a scullery maid-I feel like I have a personal chef!

I get to focus my time and energy on connecting with the kids or taking a moment to rest. 

Throw these together really quickly this weekend for a smooth week. 

The mini meat loafies are a quick snack, packable lunch item or dinner main.

The turkey taco meat is so quick and you can make so many different dishes with it. 

PS it’s been a staple food in my health journey.

I like to cook my veggies day-of or have some washed and prepped in containers.

Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element to design your space and make it stand out?

A design element that just doesn’t make total sense but adds the zest to the room that just makes it?

But why is it so hard to figure out the exact thing that will make your space special?

You’re an emotional decorator! You’re someone who walks into a room and knows she loves it but can’t explain why.

I’m here to help!

Part II of Translating what we love about this space-Nancy Meyers edition!

This iconic kitchen from It’s Complicated, is so funny because Jane is in the works to finally renovate to get her DREAM KITCHEN and we would all love to have this one as it is right now!

Why? 

Notice that there are layers of detail from floor to ceiling and even ceiling!

If you want your home decor to feel cozy, there’s nothing like decorating every surface.

Keep it neutral if too much business overwhelms you.
When I spotted this window shelf in the movie, I thought it would be the perfect way to add some interest to our very boxy dining room-my pattern interrupt.

All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so amazing. I wondered what their secret was.

When was I going to bounce back like that?

Everyone was being vulnerable so when it was my turn I said, “I still can’t fit into my old jeans.”

One of the moms looked at me and said, “I just bought new jeans.”

I was shocked! She looked amazing!

I thought that if I bought jeans for my current “larger size” as in “not my ideal size,” it would mean I was settling for my current state that I didn’t want.

Then it hit me.

When you see yourself as worthy and do things that make you feel great-like new clothes that fit, your mind does something you’re not even aware of.

when your brain says, “I look cute” then you’re just going to continue to look better on a subconscious level. 

Why?

Your self image improves and when it does, you do things in alignment with a good self image like eating better or moving more or learning how to do your hair at its best!

Want to know exactly how I convinced myself that I was a healthy person and lost 25 pounds at 45 years old after 6 pregnancies and 4 kids?
