A Day with My Mama: The Arboretum

 

My mom and I went to the Los Angeles County The Arboretumm. It was my first time there and I was fascinated with how beautiful it was. Not to mention, it was tons of walking!

Do you and your mom ever have outings?

REVIEW- Swimsuitsforall: Mommy & Me...a Bathing suit experience!

 

Hot weather, poolside & a nice cold drink in your hand, calls for a bathing suit!

I got the opportunity to work with Swimsuitsforall and not only am I blessed and grateful, I am excited because this is a SPECIAL review that includes my mommy!

I found Swimsuitsforall a few years ago and loved everything about them. I loved the swimsuits but most of all, I loved how they celebrated EVERY body type and promote positivity and self-love.

My mom and I come from two different generations. Our tastes are so different yet so the same.  Losing weight has been the same journey but different shoes too. This is a special posts because not only is it showing you two very different women, but two very different takes on swimsuits but with the same message: SELF-LOVE.

Shall we begin?

I got the  Swim Sexy Eclipse Plus Size Fringe (Found HERE)

Being I had lost 100 plus pounds was so scary! I thought, "What did I get myself into? What if I don't feel comfortable? What if I look horrible?" And it came. I unwrapped the package and immediately tried it on. I OWNED it!

SPECIFICS OF THE BATHING SUIT:

    Full powernet tummy control lining smooths and flattens.

    Bandeau neckline with fringe detailing accentuates bust.

    Removable halter strap provides additional bust support and two style options: halter or bandeau.

    Empire waist breaks up torso and visually slims waist.

    Side shirred bodice breaks up torso and visually slims waist.

    High back gives additional bust support

    Soft molded cup bra with plush empire band gives bust support

    Sizes 18-34 fits up to a D/DD cup.

    Sizes 8-16 fits up to a C/D cup.

    Swimsuit fits true to size.

I think I rocked this bathing suit thunder thighs, cellulite and ALL! I loved my body in this bathing suit! It was sexy, fierce, fun, comfortable and lived up to its potential and more! I felt so amazing in this bathing suit. I felt beautiful! Its the perfect bathing suit to feel beautiful in no matter what size!

You can find my bathing suit HERE (Style # 2457)

Now, you will never see my mom in something like this particular bathing suit, in fact, I'm letting my mom take over after I give you the specifics, so she can tell you HER take on her bathing suit.

My momma got  Longitude Maneater Plus Size Tie Front Swimdress  (Found HERE)

I personally think my momma looked FIERCE too! RAWR!

SPECIFICS OF THE BATHING SUIT:

    Powernet tummy control panel smooths and flattens waist. Panel starts just below the bust line and ends at the upper hip line.

    Tie front sweetheart neckline accentuates bust. Designed to resemble the top half of a heart, this tie front accented neckline, draws attention upward to accentuate the bust.

    Empire waist breaks up torso and visually slims waist.

    Soft molded cup bra with plush empire band gives bust support

    Sizes 8-16 fits up to a C/D cup.

    Sizes 18-34 fits up to a D/DD cup.

    Swimdress fits true to size.

    Swimsuit fits true to size but fits well for women with long torso as well.

TAKE IT OVER MA!

I picked this bathing suit not only because I was attracted to it, but as a mature woman, letting myself show so much skin was not an option. After having 3 beautiful children and a 80 pound weight loss, my body isn't what it used to be.  It flattered my figure and made me feel extremely comfortable. I am always worried about straps on bathing suits. Straps can hurt. Not these straps. It left me feeling really comfortable and when you are my age, comfortable is everything. 

You can find her bathing suit HERE (Style # 1307)

As you can see, I am more of a "You got it, flaunt it" type of gal and my momma, not so much! lol. I think we both looked fab though!

It was an exciting experience to walk out the room and let my mom roam Swimsuitsforall.com to come back and see what she chose.

FITNESS FRIDAY: Spa Day with mom!

 

Fitness isn't just physical, its also mental and emotional. To destress from all the heartache, my mom and I went to Glen Ivy, a local spa, to relax and not have a care in the world.

Do you take care of your mental and emotional health too? If so, how?

It is so important to be mentally and emotionally fit above anything else. Its the structure to how we function and live our lives.

Sea World San Diego Pictures!

 

This past weekend my mom and I went on a mini- vacay to San Diego! And we went to Sea World!! So I wanted to share my pictures with you guys! Hope you enjoy em and much as I enjoyed my little vacay!

My Little Getaway

 

This weekend I went away from L.A with my momma to a Casino in the desert! It was a nice little ewscape from L.A and I wanted to share my little trip with you!

 

I love the Cabazon Dinosaurs. If you are headed down to Palm Springs, this is a cute little stop to make. I love dinosaurs and if I get the chance to stop I usually do! You may recognize this from "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure"

 

We also stopped at the Cabazon outlets for a little shopping. Mom and I goofed around with glasses. I LOVED the bunny glasses!! 11.50 though and I had better things to spend that money on.

 

Once we got to the hotel, we put on our bathing suits and hoped in the pool. My bathing suit is on the left and the right picture is of a "TOWEL DRESS" I made from two SMALL towels. I know can wrap small towels around me! YAY! 

We then headed to the Casino, where I lost $100 and mom won $$. This is the first time I tried a Tokyo Tea! I love them! This whole time I was missing out! My new fave drink.

 We also got chocolate wasted. Whoever I marry, he and I will have one of these at our wedding alone with a taco man. Im serious too. 

These are random pictures. The man on the bike was going to fast his skin was flapping. The second picture is the cozy bed I slept in. Third, the view from behind the Casino. Fourth, my fortune cookie. Fifth, the automatic toilet seat cover! which by the way AMAZED ME!! and Sixth was of the sign in the bathroom for gambling addiction.
