Jamberry Nail Giveaway!

I know some of you ladies HAVE to have polish on your nails at all times, but that is definitely not me! I am way too lazy to upkeep with my nails on a regular basis! I do go get a shellac manicure for special events, but other than that...this girl is NOT painting her nails herself. I'm super rough and it chips within 2 days, which always annoys me! On my Facebook group, some ladies have been posting their cute Jamberry nail wraps and I was curious about how they worked and looked like on. Well just about that time, Tricia asked me if I would like to review some Jamberry wraps and then giveaway a full set on my blog! Of course, I would!! Here's how my pink ombre' Jamberry manicure turned out. Pretty good for my first time using wraps, if I do say so myself! ;)

28 Weeks: Mint & Maxi

Sigh, I'm finally all un-packed and have my life back in order! We took a LONG road trip this past weekend to see my brother in law get married in Indiana (13 hours)...Let's just say I don't suggest ANY 7 month pregnant women to take a 13 hour long road trip in a little car! Not ideal, but I survived! :) I'm so excited next weekend we're going to Florida to have my two baby showers at home! My mom and step-mom have been working so hard planning my two baby showers! I'm excited to see all my friends and family! :) Pray for me as I take another long road trip again!! This one is only 7 and a half hours though.
Sorry, I didn't get to post last week, I was SO busy packing and out of town, so I decided to do a mid-week post! Last year, mint was the big spring color, and I'm still in love with it! I paired it with my gray/black striped maxi skirt! This is such a comfortable outfit!
I got to go soul-winning with my husband tonight and got to see him lead two people to the Lord. There is nothing better than serving God along side the love of your life! I wouldn't trade it for anything! I'm so glad my son will have a Daddy that loves God! I'm also thankful that he is always willing to be my photographer at random times! ;)

Organizing Your Closet

Last night, my husband asked me why I still had all my pre-pregnancy clothes hanging up in my closet. I told him it was because I am too lazy to put them away! So, he helped me get all our space bags out and I finally transferred my closet over to all maternity friendly clothes! You wouldn't believe how much easier it is to get dressed when you can visibly see all your options! (AND you can fit in them all!) Your brain gets overloaded when you have too many clothes/you can't fit in half of them!

I don't know about you, but even when I would go through my closet before I was pregnant, I never want to get rid of any clothes. I guess I'm emotionally attached to them...even though I don't wear most of them. But, my husband is a great help in that area, he isn't sentimental at all. :) So, here's some tips I've learned on how to weed out your closet.
1. Unless you have a HUGE walk-in closet, only hang up CURRENT season clothes. I'm a huge believer in putting away winter clothes when winter is over, and pulling out summer clothes! Yes, there will be some pieces that are year round, but you should be able to put away a good amount when the seasons change.

2. Color coordinate your closet. No explanation needed other than it's so much easier to "see" what you have to wear when you know exactly where it is hung up at.

3. Separate skirts/dresses/tops. I keep my dresses all on the left side, my skirts on my lower rack, and my tops on the upper rack, all separately color coordinated.

4. Weed through your clothes! Go through your closet every season and give away all the items you know are outdated, don't fit, or you just don't wear! It is so much easier to create new outfits when you actually wear ALL your clothes. Be honest with yourself in this area, if you haven't worn in for 3 months (not because it was too cold, but just because you didn't wear it) then TOSS IT! :)

5. Create new outfits. When you get a free day one day, go through your entire closet and try on a bunch of new options and create new mental outfits, that you can go back to and wear later on. You can also take a picture in the ones you really like so you don't forget about them!

I hope these few tips help you organize your closet! I felt like a new woman this morning, when I looked in my closet and could see so many new outfit options!
I know I just wore this tank a couple of weeks ago, but since it's not maternity, I'm not sure how much longer it will fit this growing belly! So here it is again, with a different color combo!
