I'm liking this style!!! This photo is a reference of a very good friend of mine so I couldn't not draw Nami like this!!!

Who do you think she's talking to?

Also her tattoo design reveal!!! What do you think?!?!🙈😳💅✨❤

Nami doesn't like dresses so that's why she said that.😅🤷🏽‍♀️

Also, am I the only one who's getting Angelina Jolie vibes from this??🤔🦄

It has pockets! I fell absolutely head over heels for this adorable dress! I am so glad that dressing rooms are open again but my pocketbook isn't. LOL! However, this is my birthday outfit and it's from @target, so my back account isn't protesting too hard. 😂😍 Almost 48 isn't looking too bad! #BirthdayGirl #Almost #July5 #SummerGirl #47AndFabulous #47YearsYoung #Almost48 #LookingGood #SingleMom #SingleMomLife #BirthdayOutfit #ItHasPockets #ItsAGirlThing #BetterEveryDay https://www.instagram.com/p/CQzSX27lv7o/?utm_medium=tumblr

Mom has put paw and nose relieving lotion on my paws. And socks to help keep them moisturized. I actually don't mind it. I love getting pampered. #maggie #englishbulldog #puppypampering #itsagirlthing #dodidog #socalbulldogs

The Bikini Dilemma

Alright ladies, it’s summer. Actually, it’s almost half over already -- ahhh! Therefore it is the season to bust out the bathing suits.  Other than the dentist, a tax audit or a Pap, bathing suit shopping can be the biggest groan.  This is coming from someone who LOVES shopping.  I do. I have zero shame about it.  But bathing suits have always been tricky.  They are the demon that brings all the insecurities to the surface.  Who’s with me?  I have had a personal goal of feeling confident in a bikini this year for the first time in a long time.  I don’t mean, a tankini or rashguard top.  I am talking about the quintessential two piece.  It has been at least six plus years since I have worn one.  This does not mean that I will be turning my back on my one piece wonders, because they are the bee’s knees.  

A couple of things come into play here.  First off, I am 35 and the debate of what is appropriate whirls around in my head. Even though I am still clinging to a couple pairs of cut off shorts that I still give zero F’s wearing. The majority of times I am in a suit is at the lake surrounded by my family; my step sons, in-laws, you get the picture.  This makes me hyper sensitive to what types of suits I like to invest in, especially when envisioning a two piece.  This leads into the second thing, which is, I am rather busty.  It’s hilarious to think I always thought I had a somewhat small chest, until I got properly measured five or six years ago only to find out I am actually a 32DDD.  I was shocked, and it was no wonder the 34 B bras I had been wearing since highschool felt and looked like crap.  If you haven't gotten measured at a reputable lingerie shop, do it.  It changed my and my ta-ta’s life.  

Those two factors aside, the glaring elephant in the fitting room is overall body image.  I know I am not alone here, we are our own worst critics.  Truly.  Our inner judgey bitches can be very mean to us, especially when it comes to summer clothing and swimsuits.  One of the reasons I love Fall Fashion the most; layering and coverage baby.  But I digress. We tend to look in the mirror and see the flaws; too much extra something here, cellulite there, one boob is bigger than the other, birthmarks, spider veins, you name it.  It is as if our bodies are a Vegas strip of neon faults.  We really need to be kinder to ourselves.  We all can’t be Gisele, but we are beautiful in our own way.  As long as we wear things that fit right, and exude an inner confidence to feel beautiful.   I have been working on being nicer to myself, while eating better, and hitting the gym.  But I am your typical female, I have one bloated day and I feel like the world is ending. Ahem, period week, I am looking at you. It is definitely an ongoing saga.  

Having said all that, I bought said suits online this year, officially under the guise of Covid, when really I was just avoiding fitting rooms like the plague.  This didn't help my cause, so a lot of trial and error took place.  Also, I apparently missed the memo that all bathing suits are now up-your-butt cut and $100+ for just the top.  Both of these facts were a bit of an obnoxious shock.  However, amidst the hunt I found two and in the process unearthed my new favorite brand. Vitamin A. A bit pricey, but gorgeous, minimalist and high quality. While they sat in my closet, they acted as a motivation leading up to our first trip to BC earlier this month.  I was excited to put it on and pair it with a dry glass of champs by the water.  By some small miracle I did not fall back into my self conscious ways. I wore them with pride and remarkably I reached for them more than the latter.  It was a major breakthrough, and although I am no Victoria’s Secret Angel it was the first time I felt like I did when I was 18.  

Our second trip is approaching and I hope I can carry this spirit through.  Try it, you might surprise yourself.  Like a bandaid, quickly rip off the mindset that holds you back from feeling beautiful. Posting this photo makes me feel vulnerable but I am proud to say I am able to embrace my body and this new itty bitty, teenie weenie, white and navy striped bikini.  Summer will be over before we know it, let’s show some skin, be sexy but classy, and most importantly feel confident. Long live Summer :)
