Fresh Start …

Jennifer BendasLeave a comment

Have you ever seen a picture of yourself and said uh oh, time to change up some “stuff” … like seriously!

Well, that was me about a month ago. So, back to collagen, hydration, selfcare, stretching, more clean eating, running, fitness, etc.

Oh, and I went lighter for the summer too 😉

YES … it’s Summertime and I just needed to feel rejuvenated. Like vacation/spa like rejuvenated. (Like I have time for any of that, maybe a vacation though? 🤷🏻‍♀️😉)

You see, our little loves 💗💗💗 just finished up the school year, and this year was just 🤯 and although much has now calmed down. It’s still a little all over the place …

Like I know I am not that twenty (20) year old College girl anymore. With all that ENERGY!!! In college, I was always on the go (not much has changed), but I slept in often too, I was eating whatever and sometimes not eating at all 😬, but was living in the moment more so “I believe” because I paused more …

Now, as a Mama to three (3) little loves 💗💗💗 and a wifey. I want to feel my best and look my best too. 🙏🏼 Don’t get me wrong, since becoming a Mama, I have embraced the Hot Mess! That’s for sure! 🤣

However, I am still going to “try my best” and like I just said, “No longer that 20 year old college girl” Life is busy, and sometimes I just feel drained and weighted down in this world!

My focus more so, at the moment is on God 🙏🏼, self care, house projects and diy things too, new beginnings, fitness, skincare, tuning in on my hobbies, etc. … I’ll be honest as a busy Mama and wife, all isn’t as easy to do on the daily anymore. So, maybe a little of this and a little of that, here and there and giving myself a little more grace too in realizing, “You’re doing okay!”

Busyness …

Okay “busyness” … well, it is the new “norm.” in this house.

(Especially, once you become a mom and dad, and more specifically when your kiddies are old enough to all be in school and play sports, or cheer, dance, etc.)

We have been nonstop, like NONSTOP lately … I mean, we quadruple booked this Easter 🐣 ✝️ Weekend. We had two (2) Soccer ⚽️ Tournaments (that’s six (6) Games), our good friends’ wedding and Easter Sunday. Now, because of the craziness we spread out the games for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but we also had to coordinate getting to the wedding, did not host Easter this year, etc.

Not to mention, earlier in the week our littlest love caught a bug. Poor little thing 🤒, she’s doing better now. 🙏🏼 Still fighting off the tail end of it, with a cough, but her fever is gone, energy is back, and her appetite is back! Praise God! 🙏🏼

I think I lost it for a brief moment 🤯 I mean #mommying, in between the phone calls, the soccer ⚽️ things, germs, events, work, etc.

My husband and his calmness though, as he says, “We will figure all out and never book our schedules like this again!” 💗

So, here we are … It’s Monday morning, we all are tired 😴, but all turned out pretty good! 🙏🏼 Our one little love won 1st 🥇 place in her division. ⚽️ My husband rocked as a coach and our other little love handled poor sportsmanship well from the other team she played! 💗 I got glutened of course, so still fighting that off 😬 and our littlest love has been fever free for over 48 hours!!! 🙏🏼 and Easter was very nice! 🐣✝️

My Hubby has events today at work, so I am home with our littles. I am cleaning all, doing laundry, and the pup 🐶 needs to get to groomer, there’s errands, etc., but all that was 🤯 is now ☑️ …

It’s now mid way through the month and I have not written out our calendar. 📆 I need to do this today or maybe tomorrow? 🤷🏻‍♀️ and I need to regroup/think and just pause! 💗

All the Things …

Bringing it back to “cozy” … after all, my new blog is called “Cozy Styling” and like I said in previous blogs/posts, “I think we all need to find that cozy in life, from time to time.”

Oh and Happy Friday!!! – now this is Cozy, well, later tonight that is … all at home, eating yummy food, playing games, maybe a cup of hot tea. ☕️

So, what is your cozy?”

Okay, so if you follow me in my IG story posting, Scentsy posting, blog posting … I am a pinterest gal. To be honest, a good amount of my ideas, stem from Pinterest. I’d love to sharpen my photography 📸 skills too, so I can add to my now pinning and blogging, … but there’s only sooo many hours ⏰ in the day 🤷🏻‍♀️

On many mornings, I wake up and before my coffee, I find a coffee stock photo on pinterest, to post onto my Scentsy page.

Scentsy website – http://jenniferbendas.scentsy.us

In my searching, I see all the things ✨✨✨

A little of what catches my eye or grabs my attention. Fitness pictures, Healthy foods, Posts on Faith, Coffee photos (but ironically don’t “love” coffee 🤷🏻‍♀️ only in the mornings.) Fashion, cozy fashion in the winter, even in the summer, and just cute fashionable things. Nail pictures, I love my nails painted, but DISLIKE getting my nails done 🤣 (this is a new thing I now “know,” but the piggies love them painted and love a pedicure too.)

More on cozy … facials are another new thing, loving at home facials or scheduling one at a salon or spa.

I love, like looovvveee organization. It’s interesting (and my husband often jokes about this) nothing like a clean house, my bed made, angles, a new comforter, an organized pantry, a new journal/planner, etc. just looovvveee!!!

Speaking of journals, I love notebooks, odd yes 🤣 but I do … nothing like a fresh notebook, journal or planner! 🙂

and loving leopard, WHAT!!! … what happened? I am now loving leopard too. 🐆

Just a little of this and a little of that on this Friday, time to get some errands done! ☑️
