Baby, Baby, Baby



Being 32 weeks (7 months) pregnant with your first child basically means your whole life is now consumed with thoughts of baby. "Will I have everything she needs? Will I know how to take care of her properly? Will she get her leg get stuck in the crib if I don't use a bumper? Will she smother on the bumper if I do use one?What kind of personality will she have? Will she even like me? What kind of mom am I going to be? Will she hate hair bows? Will she even have any hair? Will she come before her due date? Will my dog hate me for having her?" The questions are never ending and there's no way to know a single answer until she actually gets here. I've been trying to read different view points on certain topics such as breast feeding, getting your baby on a schedule and teething remedies so I will feel well informed and able to decide what works best for me when Miss Violet gets here. However, reading about one baby topic tends to lead me to three more baby topics that I know nothing about and would've never thought about prior to actually having a baby. The internet truly is a blessing and a curse when it comes to anal retentive hot messes like myself. I read and read and read, then I have a mild freak out because I have totally overwhelmed myself and then I do what every less than sane, 20something, pregnant gal does to calm herself down- I shop. Here are some of the current Etsy things I'm obsessing over for baby V:

The Good Stuff


Life just doesn't get any better than a sweet dog sleeping beside you and a growing baby kicking in your belly.

Matte About Lips

I've never been a huge fan of lipstick. It's always been too messy for my taste. There's nothing ickier than long hair being blown into your lipstick and then spreading it across your face. However, when matte lipsticks decided to come onto the beauty scene in full force I fell in love! Now I can have the beautiful lip shades without the gross mess! Yay me! Here's my top 3 favorites:

3. Tarte LipSurgence Matte - Fiery
$24, Sephora.
I'm not sure why they call this a lip tint because it is a full coverage color. This has been my go-to red lipstick for a while now and my only complaint is it is a little dry and once the point has been worn down it can be hard to apply precisely. (I have small lips so it's a bit wide.)

2. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - Antwerp
$6, Ulta.
 This is amazing stuff. It's not your normal lipstick. It's a liquid lipstick that goes on with the ease of lipgloss and dries into a smudge-proof matte color.

1. Lime Crime Velvetines- Red Velvet

$17, limecrime.com.
Obsessed doesn't begin to describe my feelings for this flawless liquid lipstick. Actually, to be totally honest I'm obsessed with the whole brand and it's adorable founder, Doe Deere. (follow her on Instagram and you'll go crazy fangirl on her too.) This color might as well have been made just for me. It goes on so flawlessly and has some serious staying power. You can wear this color alone or combine it with the brand's Carousel Gloss in Snowsicle for a shiny look.(It's seriously the shit too. I never pass up glitter!) I can't wait to order the other Velvetines color, Suedeberry. Not to mention their Zodiac Eye Glitter!
