Want to know how to pose for pictures in a bathing suit and to FEEL confident? I'm proud to share what I learned at our very first Just Wear the Suit weekend…..spoiler, it was inspirational!

Thank you to Pechanga Resort and Casino for hosting our weekend.

I think I'm still floating a couple feet off the ground.  From the day that our Just Wear the Suit movement launched on Instagram, I dreamed of taking this online movement offline.  I dreamed of connecting with a group of women to support each other as we talked confidence, shared our stories, and learned how to pose for pictures in a bathing suit.  WE DID IT.  And it was absolutely as inspiring as I'd hoped it would be.

The amazing Pechanga Resort was the perfect setting for what may very well be my absolute favorite girls getaway.  They helped me to giveaway a weekend to TWO amazing ladies and their guest of choice.  Each set of besties had their own room, we spent Saturday in a cabana by the pool (and let me tell you….I can't wait to bring Robbie and Lydia out for a weekend of pool days because the pool was AMAZING), and we had some of the best food I'd eaten in a long time (highly recommend the Lobby Bar and Grill).

How to Pose for Pictures in a Bathing Suit: The First Just Wear the Suit Weekend

Saturday morning, we met in our cabana at around ten am.  Our suits? From Kortni Jeane, and I love how each was unique.  Kortni Jeane has so many options, that women can easily find an option that is flattering to their body type in fun colors and prints.

My dear friend Annie is a talented photographer (and founder of Avenue Mama – an amazing group for moms who are business owners).  Not only did she shoot these stunning images, but she gave the ladies some advice before we started.  Annie's tips? Have fun.  Focus on movement, and let her do her job……getting stunning images of you.  And did she do it or WHAT?  I loved seeing each of these women come out of their shell, and seeing them ENJOY the process.  She seriously helped them feel comfortable and her tips on how to pose for pictures in a bathing suit (or any outfit) were SPOT on.

“To #justwearthesuit and then be photographed in a two piece was a huge leap for me but surrounded by these amazing women made it super fun & easy! So just go out there, laugh and make memories! Life is too short!  I can't thank Carly enough for making this day happen and Annie for these amazing pictures! They're breathtaking and I will cherish them forever! Everyone in these pictures and behind them…..I am in awe of how open and close we all became in such a quick amount of time! -Austria

“All I can say is strong beautiful women come in all shapes,sizes, and color. We should embrace it and support each other after all  we’re all on the same mission and that is to be powerful and successful.” -Nicole

What do I think? Did we learn more about how to pose for pictures in a bathing suit? Absolutely.  But my biggest takeaway? Community is the most inspiring thing of all.  Doing this TOGETHER was empowering, and a ton of fun.  And I can't wait to plan more weekend just like this one!

☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that a ☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that are easy

🥤right? My absolute ideal summer date with a friend involves a cool drink and a lazy afternoon.

❓Now the question…..what’s the best summer drink? Swipe to the end for mine (ha, IYKYK)
❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Pretty ❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Pretty sure these photos display which I am 🤣

In all seriousness, these are some of the photos I took while I was at the Mom 2 Conference up in LA, the first larger group event I’ve been to in years. I was reminded how I THRIVE in a community setting (there’s your answer by the way). So my homework? For me self care looks like: plans with humans outside my family. A few times a week. Because it fills my cup.

🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans 🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans with your kids.⠀

Not gonna lie, I almost skipped this. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, but last night…..Lydia and I had a mommy and me date at Legoland on the agenda. Spoiler, it was the most fun we’ve had in a LONG time and….note to self, book more dates with my mini-me. Let’s be honest…..time moves faster and faster and….she’s going to be OVER these mommy and me moments in the blink of an eye.⠀
⠀
🏁About last night: we got to participate in a preview of the new LEGO® Ferrari Build & Race attraction at @legolandcalifornia and I have to say……Lydia is already asking to go back.⠀
⠀
🏎What is it?⠀
- this adorable attraction has three separate areas: a place where you’ll get to see a ton of cool Ferrari gear and info AND a Ferrari F40 model built completely out of LEGO bricks, a building area for making your own car and testing it on multiple race tracks, and then an area that SCANS YOUR CAR and allows you to digitally race other builders)⠀
- honestly? This was just as fun for me as it was for Lydia, and the teacher in me is required to tell you…..this is a perfect example of STEM / STEAM being a part of play. She built a car, tested it, then adjusted so it would move faster…..and I loved it!⠀
⠀
Highly recommend a visit!⠀
⠀
🗓Do you do regular one on one plans with your kid? Suggestions? I think we’re going to book one thing a week from here on out!⠀
