Wahooooo! Feeling lazy or busy or cozy!!!

RESPONSIBILITY {real talk} After the nasty mom shaming messages this wknd and reacting (possibly over reacting to the comments) super emotionally, I took some time to jot down some stuff to help myself figure out WHY, I took it to heart so quickly and deeply. ... Purpose of this post is really just a reminder of anyone needs it - that sometimes WORDS that affect you are the effect/trigger of something else. My ex was vicious with words and went out of his way to make me feel worthless and that I wouldn’t be a good enough mama. Some of the stuff this lady said absolutely TRIGGERED his words and also my own shit. My own insecurities about being a solo mom and working am I doing a good job is this right for Bo, daycare re: covid, city vs county, am I reading the right books blah blah blah. I think this is normal for a lot of parents - but he’s a super happy kiddo and he’s doing really well with reading + learning so, I mean I guess that a sign non? The breastfeeding comment telling me it was all in my head. I had to work day 4 of Bowie being born bc well I had to. In turn the stress of work and such, not being able to pump as often as I wanted led to three months of feeding. BUT I was super fortunate bean took to bottle and formula. AND. IT. WASNT. In my head. Like this comment F off. I’m a fkn sensitive person. I don’t like it when ppl say mean things to me especially when they don’t know me. I take things very personally esp if someone ever assumes bean isn’t comfortable, happy or He’s not my first priority. MORAL of my story (post) is that it wasn’t entire this woman’s words, it was my own shit and baggage THAT I AND ONLY I CAN WORK ON. So. Taking the time this week to resume therapy and get back to writing more in journals about my feelings and thoughts. Making peace with myself and past so I can react (and be proactive) less. Xo Hope this helps someone and happy Monday!! #realtalk #meangirls #singlemom #life #breastfeeding #theeverygirl #zerofucks #honestmotherhood #benice #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodunplugged #stronglikeamother #boymom #mentalhealth #love #workingmom #toddlerlife See more

TACKLING YOUR CLOSET for FALL/WINTER SWAP {lifestyle pt. 2} ... Yesterday I shared a couple tips that help me organize a condo closet (and shared closet with kiddo) + to help build your wardrobe + make the most of space! BASICS: My wardrobe has and always will be mostly black, neutrals and some pops of colour. This also allows you to mix and match, or what they call a CAPSULE WARDROBE. I was in fashion for years and used to help ppl build their wardrobes. It’s easier than you think and will make you FEEL so good! JEANS: a good fitting skinny - dark IMO. Then a couple classic blue jeans - distressed/ripped, the MOM Jean. A good white. Then some inexpensive seasonal pairs. I recently bought a light grey paper bag Jean @zara TOPS: all of the tees, long sleeve blouses, body suits in all THE NEUTRALS: grey, black, white, cream and stone. ADD ONS: athletic wear that makes you feel great, skirts and dress pants with the ability to dress down and up. Some proper fitting blazers in a plaid or print. BAGS: Always a crossbody, a large tote, then the Fashun pieces - animal prints, metallics and some pops of colour!! BUY clothes that fit. STOP hanging on to pieces that you have to lose weight or make you feel poorly about YOURSELF! A wardrobe should make you feel stylish, effortlessly chic and SEXY!! #transformationtuesday #wardrobe #formerstylist #closet #basics #fashion #investment #style #fashun #chic #frenchgirl #feelgreat #lifestyle #rbstyle #shoes #bags See more

*TAKES DAY OFF OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND GETS SH*T DONE! {lifestyle pt.1} ... You know when you start a project - it ends up looking like a disaster and worse, before it gets better? Yesterday the house looked like a tornado had come through. Clothes everywhere, hangers everywhere and my toddler taking clothes and running around! Every fall, I like to switch and store my summer pieces, purge and swap over wardrobes. Yesterday was that DAY! I accomplished so much on my list, when I wasn’t focused on phone/social/work! HERE’S my top tips to help TAME and organize your closet: MAKE piles and commit to them. : still in good condition but not worth selling. I like to donate to shelters or new mamas. Or do a clothing swap! : Items and pieces that you wear often. Mend any small repairs. : Designer or expensive pieces, sell online (Poshmark is great) or consignment. Use that money to update a few pieces or accessories into your fall/winter wardrobe. YOU don’t know joy until you replace all your shitty hangers with proper matching ones. I bought more last week and finished the transfer - and having uniform, black felt hangers is the best part of 2020 Clean and mend shoes. Polish and oil. GET RID OF any ones you won’t wear. Basics: always have a great high black boots (heeled and flat), statement boots and black runners (or pop of colour), some fun heels and I love a good heeled mule. THIS IS WHERE YOU SPEND $. *pt 2 later this week as it was too long to post! #mondaymotivation #wardrobe #formerstylist #closet #basics #fashion #investment #style #fashun #chic #frenchgirl #feelgreat #lifestyle #rbstyle #shoes #bags

WHEN BECOMING A PARENT, you tend to become and react more emotionally and deeply. Especially in situations that concern kids, not even your own - because there’s always the empathy WHAT IF IT WAS MY CHILD (Like I cry at anything with kids) ... Over the last year, two fierce women and myself founded @sung8te_corp which is ONE PART a charitable non-for profit platform to help local children and those worldwide. (SECOND - to help women of domestic abuse and hardship rebuild) We have partnered with @sickkidstoronto to launch our first funding campaign - for children in the Ukraine living with Cancer and not able to access proper funding. Because September is CANCER PREVENTION + AWARENESS month - we launched a few days ago in hopes our fellow North Americans to help us donate as much or little as possible to HELP these kids have the best chance to fight Link is in bio. Donate if able. Share if you can.
