THIS IS NINE MONTHS

Well here I am!!! Nine months pregnant, anxiously waiting for this babe to arrive. I can't begin to explain to you how crazy the last month of pregnancy is. First of all, it totally drags! You start to panic!!! I NEED THIS BABY OUT NOW! So then you google... castor oil, sex, bouncing balls, walking, squats, running (if you can manage), stripping membranes, begging doc for induction... anything to make you feel less of a Humpty Dumpty, especially when you need to be pulled off the couch and pushed out of bed or a car.What I wore: Jumpsuit: Séraphine similar HERE and cool 70's version HERE // Eye Clutch: SHEin similar HERE and adorable back pack versions HERE and HERE // Pumps: MIU MIU similar and a style steal HERE // Sunnies: Chloé similar style steal options HEREHERE and HERE // Cuff: Hermés similar style steal version HERE // Earrings: Forever21

WAITING FOR THE BABE

As I'm gearing closer to the birth of my third child, my anxiety levels are at an all-time high! It's crazy! You'd think that doing this for the third time would be a breeze, but somehow knowing exactly what a child means and what this transition does to a family, makes it all that much harder to process. The unknown of the delivery, the baby's ultimate health and bringing a newborn home with all the ups and downs and the sleepless nights, all while trying to balance my other babes, career, home life and friendships is a bit of a mind f*ck if you ask me!

So I decided I needed a "ME" moment and some time to unwind and beautify! I know that there won't be much time for sleep, beauty, or really "ME" time the first few months. The whole notion of you sleep when baby sleeps doesn't really apply to mothers of multiple kids with an entrepreneurial type of job. So I'm being realistic all while getting facials, spray tans (I'm obsessed with my girl DEENA who comes to your house), manis, pedis and  lash extensions!

THE DENIM TRICK

Happy sunny Wednesday everyone!!! So I wanted to chat about wearing jeans while preggo. I actually only bought one pair of maternity jeans this pregnancy from TARGET.  They have some awesome inexpensive options. I also did a little trick and wore my jeans throughout. I'm currently nine months preggo and these baggy  boyfriend jeans (which are much tighter then usual now)  still fit with the help of a little rubber band trick and a longer tee to cover it all up!

See below....

LUMINESS AIR AIRBRUSH SYSTEM

So excited about today's post! I've been dying to try airbrush make-up. If you follow me on Instagram, then  you know my favorite #BerkunBeauty finds! This one is definitely one I'm obsessed with.

Years ago I had my make-up airbrushed professionally, (side note, I can't stand to have my make-up done and almost always do it myself and if I don't, I sneak in the bathroom and do my own tweaks...control freak problems!).

I did love the way my skin looked dewy, and not at all cakey. You could actually see my skin without any blotchiness or redness.

Keep reading about my favorite and #1 Airbrush System out there!!!

SUPER WOMAN POWERS

Well hello 2016! It's crazy to think that 2015 just flew right by and I'm excited and anxious to see what this year has in store. This is "my year"! I was born in the year of the Monkey and I hope that this year is filled with health, happiness, hope and love... oh and a healthy little bébé!

This post isn't about New Years however, it's about not losing myself during this pregnancy. Everyone always talks about pregnant women and comfort, well, screw that. I wasn't always comfortable while I'm not incubating a human, why do I have to change now?!

GIRL SQUAD

Last week was one of those super insane weeks with shoots, styling gigs and a ton of events! It's been getting a bit harder with this pregnancy to be on my feet all day, (I wear heels to work a lot and may be on my feet anywhere from 10 to 12 hours), then heading over to work parties/events...it's been a bit wacky for one human making lady to handle!

However there was one celebration I simply couldn't miss. I've been so excited for the Elina Casell by Mia Bossi handbag line collab. Ok so I'm a bit biased...part of my so called 'Girl Squad' is the creator of Mia BossiJanet Mandel. So of course I wanted to support her, even if it meant wobbling my preggo ass to her Blackhawks (yes you'll love this sports fans) Star-Studded Event!
