Hello Mom's to Be!
I want to chat about how the simple things can enhance our physical appearance and boost our self esteem. This morning I woke up and realized that my face had gotten fatter, and the love of my life kindly said " I don't notice it...but babe you are pregnant". In his sweet way he was trying to console me but I could tell he didn't understand. The mirror showed a reflection that I wasn't comfortable with and I needed a pick me up fast, as I had a doctor's appointment and work to think about. So I went straight to my accessories corner. I grabbed a headband that matched my outfit perfectly and placed pearls on my wrist. The accessories massaged my bruised self esteem and I walked out of our bedroom with a smile.
Moral of the story is accessories are great remedies to not so great days and nights. Since I've been pregnant, I've purchased flowers to wear in my hair, switched my handbags more frequently, and bought a couple of inexpensive jewelry pieces.
Flowers: Theses are a great way to add that extra touch of femininity. I wear them in my hair and pin them to my clothes. You can find them cheap at hottopic.com and forever21.com.
Handbags: I had been in a rut and carried the same bag for two weeks. This morning I changed it and felt like a stylish lady. I got a compliment on the bag and decided it felt good to give myself an extra 5 minutes in the morning to switch handbags.
Jewelry: Stick to buying earrings, stretch bracelets,necklaces. I've noticed that my fingers are swollen and its getting increasingly harder to put on non stretch bracelets. So save yourself the disappointment and buy what will fit now.
TTYL!!!
