5 Tips for Pregnant Diva's

 I believe every woman deserves to be a diva when there pregnant, after all we do have it pretty tough. Some ladies act like pregnancy is nothing but this is my second time around so I know you girls are lying! You know its ok to act like a bitch just because you're hungry, its ok to just want to sit at home all day and pig out, its ok to not wana eat some unappetizing meal family/friends has cooked up for dinner. Why is it ok? Its ok because we deserve to do what we please and that my friends is my number one tip!

2 Wear comfy boots especially in winter! Ya leather boots look sexy but common with swollen feet and even slippery conditions your just going to feel like crap at the end of the day and you can even put yourself and your baby in danger if you end up falling.. Instead start wearing Emu's, Uggs will do too and if you cant afford those look for good made knock offs. They're super cozy & warm! Personally I think they look cute too.

3 Splurge on a foundation! EVERY WOMEN suffers from "bad" skin at some point in there pregnancy, its only normal with the raging hormones we have so toss that drugstore bb cream aside and invest in a nice medium to full foundation at Sephora.

4 Chubby bunny! About 90% of pregnant ladies face swell up a bit during pregnancy (I'm one boo). So what can you do? Contour, contour, contour and even using self tan products like lotions and foams help. They're safe because they just stain the skin and I believe having a tan is slimming (just my opinion).

5 Give into those damn cravings! I get sooooo annoyed when pregnant people act like there doing something so bad when they give into a craving -_- All the protein and healthy stuff is broken down and given to the baby so you really have nothing to feel bad about just don't eat Mc'Donalds everyday and you and your baby will be fine! 


  Lastly I just want to say don't be scared of gaining weight. When I was pregnant with my son I gained 60lbs and I ate pretty normal but I ate a lot because I was always hungry and I couldn't help that. Everyone would say your soooo small but I don't think I was that small, I initially weighed 120lbs so I could tell my face was puffy, my thighs were huge, my arms were getting chubby and of course I had a belly. About 9 weeks after I had my son I lost 38lbs and after 3 months of having my son I had lost almost all of it (50lbs) but then I went on Birth control and I struggled loosing weight for awhile, before I had my son I weighed about 135lbs. After I have Julianna I would like to get down to at least 125-128 but I'm not going to be hard on myself and I'm going to give myself a year to do so. Weight can be lost and so can happiness, so know matter what size you may be just be happy and greatful that you have a little bundle of joy!

Revlon Selects

 Hey everyone its Jess

Recently Revlon asked women of all ages and careers if they wanted to test out some new products I believe 500 women were chosen and I was one of them.

This is the first time I've been sent  products for free to review so in return I have and will be giving my readers and youtube viewers my honest opinion.




                                                Revlon Nail Art Moon Candy "Orbit"

Pros- Dries fast, You only need 1 coat of the base color & 2 coats of the flakie top coat, Holds up well, Grittiness fades after your nails get wet, Looks great.

Cons- The scent is strong and unpleasant, Flakie top coat is very rough at first, minor chipping after a day.

Overall I believe this is a great duo if you want to try out the flakie nail look, the scent of the polish is unpleasant but most polishes are.


                                                          Revlon Diamond File

Pros- Chic, Works great, Easy to use, Perfect gift for the holidays.

Cons-Glitter has a gritty feeling a plastic overcoat would have been nice.

Overall I think this product is fantastic, it does its job and looks great while doing so!


                                                     Revlon Nail Art "Vincent Van Gold"

                                                        Still to be tested

First Impression- Two gorgeous colors that flatter each other, consistency appears to be opaque and fast drying.



                                             Revlon Photo Ready "Metropolitan" 501

Pros- Gorgeous shadows, Good pigmentation, Shadows Blend well, Wearable, Affordable.

Cons- Packaging is slightly misleading (you don't actually get a primer), I would of liked at least one matte highlight, pigmentation could of been a bit better, 2 shadows are a tad bit powdery.

Overall this palette is gorgeous, its super wearable however I would still use a primer and a matte highlighter with it. I do have high expectations for shadows but I keep in mind this is a drugstore palette and it is affordable ($10-$12) so I would recommend this because the shadows do wear nicely and they are gorgeous.




                                    Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede "Backstage"

 (Keep in mind so far I have only swatched it I have not had a chance to wear it out)

 Pros- Silky Texture, Nice Shine, Long lasting stain, Glides on, Affordable, Nice Packaging, Perfect shade for the Holidays.

Cons- You will need makeup remover to get off the stain.

Overall I believe Revlon has created the perfect lipstick, the colors goes on smooth and its build-able but once the lipstick fades your still left with a gorgeous lip color.

 Well thats my review I hope you enjoyed reading it! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays :)

I used the questions from Anna Saccones pregnancy update post.

                              Funny how much smaller my belly looks with a top on lol...

Gender Reveal!

  I woke up super anxious to the point where I was feeling ill, I truly didn't know if I was going to be able to go. I told myself you've waited for this for sooooo long just suck it up and deal with it. I finished drinking almost a oz of water, what I didn't drink in water I replaced with orange juice in an attempt to get the baby hyper so s/he will show there parts to the tech.

Right before my son and my boyfriend (Devon) and I left the house I started getting the urge to pee, it quickly became torturous. Once we dropped our son off to my parents we headed to go get the ultrasound. After 5 minutes of waiting I found myself lying and waiting. The ultrasound tech walked in and was so kind, she let me watch the entire exam. She asked if I wanted to know the sex of the baby and she told me she would try her best to find out. She started examining different parts  of the baby and every time I thought "I think I see a little noodle!" (I spent 30mins last night researching how the male & females parts appear in a 16-22 week ultrasound scan).

 The ultrasound tech then hovered over a image and at this point I knew she found its parts after a couple minutes of work & I was pretty sure I knew what she was going to say...

  A tear rolled down my cheek and I couldn't help but smile as she told me she was pretty sure it was a girl! Through out the rest of the ultrasound she looked 3/4 more times and she was still convinced it was a girl and so was I.

 I was amazing to see my baby girl! Her legs are so long she didn't even have to bend them much to kick me (which she constantly did). She was facing my back the entire time which explains the back aches I've had non-stop as of recently. At one point she even appeared to smile, it was precious. Just by the ultrasound I can tell she looks nothing like my son (hes his daddys mini me which leaves me to believe she will look more like me).

 After about 40 minutes the tech told me I could use the bathroom and then Devon could come in with me and look at the baby. I was honestly shocked because I thought your bladder had to be full? Anyways after a legit minute of peeing I hurried out and told him we were having a girl (he was shocked just like I was we were so convinced we would have 2 boys). He really wanted a girl before we knew what our son was so I think he didnt want to get his hopes up, hes going to much such a wonderful father to our baby girl it makes me smile just thinking of how things will be like :)

 The rest of the ultrasound went smooth, she checked her heart, feet and legs and let us view her face and body. She looked a couple more times to confirm it was a girl and she was still pretty sure as was Devon (I told him the night prior to what everything would look like).


         Overall I had a fantastic experience it couldn't of gone better and I'm so very happy to finally get to be a mother to a daughter. Mommy, Daddy & your brother can't wait to meet you Julianna <3

   

Anxious...

  Tomorrow I found out the sex of the baby and I find myself feeling so nervous and excited, even scared? After all what if something is wrong with the baby? What if they aren't able to find out the sex? All I want is to be told my baby is ok, and thats its a girl or a boy. I have such a strong nesting urge so not having bought anything is driving me crazy. I'm so anxious I don't even know if I will be able to sleep tonight. I will probably get pictures and I will post them up on Saturday. If I find out the sex that will be announced too. I will do a baby buy blog and probably a youtube video as well. Anyways I'm going to try and stay calm until tomorrow and hope and pray for the best.

Revlon Lip Butter's Collection

   Hey everyone its Jess

 So next week or the week after I will be filming a new makeup collection so I thought now is the perfect time to share with everyone my absolute favorite makeup collection which of course is my Revlon Lip Butters! They seriously are the best lipsticks ever! Yes I consider them a lipstick because of how pigmented they are. I hated lipsticks before I found these babies.

 To me Lipsticks use to mean a high maintenance product that will completely alter your lip color and I found most lipsticks super drying on my already dry lips :( When I heard there was a new super moisturizing lipstick/lip butter hybrid that offered a variety of build-able colours I knew I might of just found my holy grail lip product. I watched countless youtube videos on them and I read so many blog posts and after months of waiting they finally arrived in Canada. I initially bought 3 and fell in love, I plan on buying more as I'm over my "pink lips faze".

 So where can you get these babies if you don't already own them?
I've found them at Walmart and Drugstores :)
In Canada there around $8-12 (When I first bought them I found they were the cheapest at Walmart).

Overall I would rate these a A+
I hope to see more colours and finishes released in the near future! :)

Baby Names! Girl or Boy?

  I just realized I haven't told you guys the names I picked out! My boyfriend (Devon) picked out our sons name and I loved it so we went with it. This time I wanted to name this baby so I picked out the names and luckily Devon loved them too :)

Girls Name- Julianna pronounced as Juli-aw-na or Athena
We aren't sure yet, if the baby is a girl we will be deciding on her name last minute.

Boys Name- Preston
We just love it <3

Well that's all! My 14 week Update might be up a day early (Tuesday) if not it will be up on Wednesday. 15 week update might go up a few days late if I think I'm going to have the ultrasound  few days later and if I do you can soon expect lots of pictures of baby buys which are going to be so much fun! Can't wait  :D And of course the gender reveal <3 

                                                                 Girl or Boy?
                                   

13 Weeks Pregnancy Update!

How far along? 13 weeks! Yay 2nd trimester :D Can't wait to start feeling better!

Total weight gain/measurements? Not sure but my guess is when I find out in 2 weeks I would have gained like 6-10lbs in a total of 15 weeks.

 Maternity clothes? Picked up a bigger t-shirt and a warm and cozy sweater :)

 Stretch marks? Yes, just been trying to stay moisturized though!

 Sleep? As good as it can be with a toddler lol

 Best moment this week? My grandma came from Trinidad and I got to see her for the first time in 6 or 7 years :) & to top it off I've been feeling my little turtle squirming and moving so much more its crazy! If I recall correctly I didn't feel this movement in my last pregnancy until I was at least 16-17 weeks.

 Miss anything? I miss feeling "normal" I know I'm almost done with the "morning sickness" faze so I can't complain all that much.

 Movement? Yes lots more! sometimes it feels like I'm getting little kicks. The baby was the size of a lime the past week :D

 Food cravings? I was craving KFC so I got a small popcorn snack box and it was bleh but my boyfriend ordered a pizza and omg it was amazing! He also made some chicken in the oven and it was so tender and delicious. I find I've also been craving a lot of "potaoey" things. I've been looking for Tator Tots to make with cheese but there impossible to find now in Canada :(

 Anything making you queasy or sick? Ummm a few things have been just the usual like foul odors, car rides (winding down the window helps) Uh even just thinking about gross things or things I find gross can make me feel nauisous. I almost threw up a couple times the past week.

12 Weeks Pregnancy Update

How far along? 12 weeks tomorrow :) Almost in 2nd tri :D

Total weight gain/measurements? Not sure, will know in 3 weeks.

 Maternity clothes? Not yet but I'll have to start shopping soon....

 Stretch marks? Yes, thinking about trying Elastin 3 its suppose to be a miracle worker.

 Sleep? I've started getting up half the time to pee in the morning so thats sucks lol I hate leaving my warm bed and it can take me a little bit to fall back to sleep.

 Best moment this week? Went to Toronto and indulged in polories (Trini food), chocolate caramel apple (stole a couple pieces from my man) and as my treat I got chocolate covered cheesecake! It was good but a bit too sweet for my taste, the chocolate caramel apple was actually a lot less sweeter so I'm going to get one of those in a couple weeks when we go back :) My son got 2 small chocolate disks; one white chocolate and had gummy bears on it and the other was milk chocolate and it had m&ms. He wasn't fond of the the white chocolate one but he still ate some of it lol

 Miss anything? Well this is from awhile ago but I miss feeling baby kicks, I think the baby has been moving. I'm pretty sure I've felt it but it's not the same as feeling it move when your much farther a long. Its truly amazing :)

 Movement? I think I have felt him/her do some somersaults and wiggle around.

 Food cravings? Clementines and Cheesies uh I don't know what else... I did have pumpkin cheesecake and apple crisp at Thanksgiving and that was yummy. I also had a delicious chicken wrap at my boyfriends work and it was amazing it was so big though I had to share it.

 Anything making you queasy or sick? I threw up again this week and there's been times I felt super nauseous.  I think its being caused by bad odors. Where moving soon so that will fix that problem.
