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…….).

🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀ ⠀ W 🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀⠀We loved visiting yesterday for a preview of this reimagined area.  It’s absolutely perfect for getting your wiggles out, having a picnic and yup……..getting your Disney feels fix.⠀⠀My top recommendations when visiting this new area?⠀⠀1) mobile order from Cafe Daisy…..we loved the pizza options and the cold brew⠀2) play play play in Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard, and inside his house…..⠀3) take the time to walk through Minnie and Mickey’s houses, you’ll probably see a surprise friend or two!⠀4) absolutely yes to the picnic basket from Good Boy! Grocer.  It’s a STELLAR price and a really fun experience to pick out your own snacks.⠀5) Mickey’s and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a perfect full family ride.  I’d suggest trying for this earlier in the day if you can.⠀6) Keep an eye out for Pete, it’s so much fun to see him wandering the area.⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest
✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s j ✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s just pixie dust.⠀⠀When I think of Lydia’s earliest visits to Disneyland….I think of Toontown.  I think of Minnie’s House and meeting Mickey and playing next to Goofy’s House.  I think of the adorable landscape and the magic that the area creates for the youngest and the young at heart.⠀⠀✨Today we visited Toontown for a sneak peek before it’s reopening tomorrow…..and yup, that pixie dust definitely got in my eye.  More than once.⠀⠀Toontown is even more magical than it was (partially thanks to the addition of a cold brew on the menu at Cafe Daisy (good call Disney food and beverage team). ⠀⠀✨My favorite moments from today’s sneak preview?⠀1️⃣ we saw Pete. He’s even better than I’d hoped.2️⃣ I love love love the food options in Toontown! Highlights: the picnic basket snack option Good Boy! Grocers, the cold brew and a delicious gluten free fold over pizza (regular looked great too)3️⃣ the new play areas are amazing! Goofy’s How to Play Area is phenomenal and filled with a ton of new interactions. ⠀Happy reopening Toontown.  Can’t wait to see you again real soon. ⠀⠀Have you visited Toontown? Are you planning to come see all updates?⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest

There are people cheering you on…..and you don’t even realize it.I learned a LOT during the 7 months of training for this race.  I learned that I should stretch and warm up (thanks pulled muscle for that life lesson), I learned that small progress over time leads to achieving big goals.  I learned that sunshine and being outside makes me a happier person.  I learned that I’m more of an athlete than I thought I was. But most of all? I learned……there are a whole lot of people in your cheering section and you might not even know they’re sitting there.  After I pulled this muscle, I was amazed by the sweet and kind messages while I tried to prepare to run my first 10k with an injury.  But NOTHING prepared me for the ovwhelming amount of kindness and support that flooded into my inbox when I crossed the finish line.  From the early morning you can do this messages to the ones that came in throughout the race to the inspiring amount of support as I iced my pulled muscle…..it brought me to tears.And the amazing thing? When Jennifer and Lashawn and I found each other at the finish line….they said the same thing.  It’s not just me.  We all have a cheering section.  And wow, do they show up when you may not be expecting them.Got a big goal? Working on something new? Share it in the comments.  I’d love to join your support team.#medalmonday #rundisney
