Holiday Dresses: Black Sequin Dress

On the hunt for holiday dresses? This Black Sequin Dress is the perfect piece to wear over and over again this holiday season!On the hunt for holiday dresses? This Black Sequin Dress is the perfect piece to wear over and over again this holiday season!Ok, seriously? How is it New Year's Eve dress time already?!?  Truth be told, I wore this to a fun holiday event recently, but it's much more likely that I'll be wearing pajamas on ACTUAL New Year's Eve (mom life).  But when I wore it, I realized how perfect it was for those of you that ACTUALLY have New Year's Eve plans (and babysitters booked).  The sparkle? PERFECT and I love how flattering it is!

Tis the season for sequin dresses! This simple black sequin dress is super flattering on a pear shape body! Along with New Year's Eve dresses, it's time to start thinking about New Year's Resolutions……right? Have you given any thought to yours?

In years past…..I've made VERY extreme promises.  I've committed to losing 20 pounds, drinking a smoothie everyday, waking up an hour EARLIER, getting better sleep……but not this year.  Instead of hardcore habits, I want to make some simple shifts in behavior.  I want to flexibly plan more date nights (even if they're at home), I want to go on girlfriend dates more often, I want to work on saying no to unnecessary commitments, and I want to work on saying yes to things that make me feel happy.  Note that all these things require TIME.  I'm a notorious overbooker, and tend to spend Sunday nights almost in tears because I'm tired and another week is starting.  Big picture plan? More down time.  More time to just ENJOY.  Tis the season for sequin dresses! This simple black sequin dress is super flattering on a pear shape body!

HOLIDAY DRESSES: BLACK SEQUIN DRESS

We all need one really fab sparkly dress, RIGHT?  I have to be honest, I almost didn't keep this one.  I felt like it was really flashy…..and how often would I wear it?  But you guys convinced me.  When I tried it on a couple weeks back on Instagram stories…..y'all went nuts for it. The ruching at the hips makes it super flattering on a pear shape body, and it's definitely a classic piece I'll keep for years to come (maybe even until Lydia's old enough that we can make ACTUAL grown up New Year's plans…….).

🚗 Road Trips……Which one are you?⠀ ⠀ Thi 🚗 Road Trips……Which one are you?⠀⠀This weekend we flew to Sacramento and then road tripped north to see my family up in the mountains.  It was so much fun to spend time together, and it reminded me….we are ALL one of these people on a toad trip.⠀⠀Bonus points to the VERY nice road trip vehicle we had…..the team at @MazdaUSA lent us a 2023 Mazda CX-50 Turbo Premium Plus and it was AMAZING (it even had a wireless charging dock for our phones). It made my snack stops even better (yup, we tried Dutch Bros for the first time and OMG we need them to expand to more Southern California locations ASAP).⠀⠀So, which are person are YOU on a road trip? ⠀⠀#familytravel #drivemazda
….and also why are we commenting negatively abou ….and also why are we commenting negatively about people’s appearances in 2023?Double also: if the worst thing people on the interwebs can say about me is that they don’t like my smile…..then I feel pretty good about what type of person I’ve chosen to be.
💕Because we all want our kids to soar………⠀⠀So fitting right? Elvis named this plane after his daughter.  And all I’ve been thinking about throughout our St Jude experience…..is how certain things truly bond all of us.  Certain things cross economic barriers and continent and language differences.  Parenthood is one of those.  It’s a universal experience.  And I think whether we are parents or role models or aunties or friends……we all know what it’s like to dream and hope on behalf of a child in your life.⠀⠀In 2012, when I was newly married and not yet a parent one of my students was diagnosed with cancer.  Without revealing details about her or her family, I think it’s important to recognize that economic barriers prevented what should have been an earlier diagnosis.  It was one of many times I was reminded during my time with the amazing humans in my classrooms that…..we do NOT all have the same access or experiences in life.  That student and her family were one of the miracle stories.  In fact, when she came back to class, she complained about missing soccer games at recess and fell right back in with the rest in a way that to this day brings joyful tears to my eyes. ⠀⠀I said this on my stories during my trip, but…..I didn’t realize until this experience that families at St Jude NEVER receive a bill.  Ever.  No matter what.  That this access gives families hope during their darkest days.⠀⠀I’m going to be teaming up with St. Jude to do a fun challenge that will hopefully inspire y’all to support them too.  Let’s just say that…..for this scared of heights, refuses to take my feet off the ground theme park girlie……I’m going to making the ultimate sacrifices.⠀⠀What rides would you want to see me go on in support of St Jude? (be kind, I’m literally TERRIFIED of any and all rides that have a height limit). You know they REALLY moved me if I’m even thinking of doing this! ⠀⠀@stjude #stjudeambassador
💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is fam 💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is famous for…..so many of you guessed it in stories last night!🦆The Peabody Hotel is famous for their duck parade.  And we got to see it as a part of Day 1 of the St Jude Content Creator Summit.  I’m in Memphis to learn all about how St Jude is doing life saving research to fight and cure childhood cancers.💕Real talk: I get to do a lot of fun things because of this little app but projects like this? Are an absolute honor.  Did you know that patients at St Jude NEVER RECEIVE A BILL? What a gift to families in crisis. I’m so happy to share this next couple of days here in Memphis with y’all and to support such an important organization.🦆Now, swipe to see the ducks. @stjude #stjudeambassador
She IS Ariel. We saw it. It’s a gift. This s She IS Ariel. We saw it.  It’s a gift.  This stunning movie shows a princess who is absolutely……royal.  Graceful.  Brave and……the perfect mermaid. Years ago, I was sitting in the theater during the live action Lion King premiere just days after the Little Mermaid casting was announced.  And in walked Halle Bailey.  This young girl and all I could think was……how much weight of the world was on her shoulders.  The room paused.  And people everywhere stood.  They applauded her and smiled and I thought…..she really is a princess. Halle, you are the epitome of royalty.  Thank you for sharing your shine with the world.I would love to encourage you to follow these amazing creators who have been shining themselves and sharing a ton of special Little Mermaid experiences:@jenniferborget @erikaenchanted@davidvaughn@_the_adventurous_rjay@colormemagic@melizzablackLydia’s, Robbie’s and my full review of the film will be on the blog Monday morning.How excited are you for the film? Who is your favorite Little Mermaid character? #littlemermaid #colormemermaid #ariel
