For my Readers…

Hello, my lovely people, this is a completely random post that I had not planned to even write, but I asked those who follow me on snapchat to let me know what they want to hear more about on the blog, and thought I should clear up one item.

I have been stressing myself out to the max over my blog. How it needs to be perfect! How I need to be perfect.. And I’m not. I’m just starting out, and that’s something I need to remind myself.

I find myself constantly comparing my life with the lives of other fabulous bloggers I subscribe to and follow. This has really taken a toll on my emotions and made me, quite frankly, difficult to be around. I’ve become so self-conscious, it’s annoying..

One of my most known passions in life is fashion, and it’s something I was looking forward to exploring on my blog! If you don’t know me personally, this might be news to you as I haven’t really posted any fashion or style tips. There is a reason for that, and I just want to be completely honest with my readers!

Now, I am looking for no sympathy or pity.. if you do know me personally, you’d know those are my pet-peeves! I like to think I’m a strong independent person that can stand on her own two feet always, but even the strongest people fall down sometimes..

So here is the deal.

I am not comfortable in the current skin I wear.. I used to be a lot thinner and fashion was easy and fun, but now it’s frustrating and humiliating.

I’m sure many new moms can concur that it’s not easy to love yourself after your first baby. You’re different, but you don’t want to be! You’re the same you, but it just doesn’t show the way it used to.

But, guys.. that’s okay! I’ve been there and I found that the only way you can work towards your goals is to accept the body you were given and to love it! You don’t have to love all the marks and curves, you just need to appreciate them in order to let go of them.

So, I am currently on the road to self-recovery. I am learning to love everything my body can do for me, if I treat it right! I am just not where I want to be to show off any part of it, and that makes it difficult to post about fashion. So, PLEASE bear with me for the next month or two as I focus more on family, home living, my kiddo, and my health.

I promise I won’t leave you high and dry for Valentine’s day.. I already have those posts planned!

But, for now, I will be focusing less on fashion.

I hope you all understand! Thank you in advance for bearing with me!
