Another holiday just around the corner; If you are anything like me, you are probably looking at the clothes in your closet feeling lost. Complaining about how you have nothing to wear (or is that just me) won't lie but, having kids completely changed my style. It has taken some years to finally feel comfortable and feel like myself when I dress up. But every time I step in my closet, I feel like I all of a sudden don't know how to dress any longer. So here are some outfit ideas that you can rock for your thanksgiving dinner; to make you feel comfortable and confident!
 

While this year has just been unnormal, I think it has added on an extra level of anxiety for young moms. I can tell you before this year; I wasn't anxious but, the added pressure of working from home while still balancing being a full-time stay-at-home mom has been a mental overload. With the holidays coming, we are looking for some relief from all that the year has brought on but, it can also be very high stress and anxiety-driven period. Here are some things you need to do to stay ahead of everything and keep your head out of the fog of it all.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water: I love this product, the perfect skin cleanser! It can work both as a makeup remover or just a regular skin cleanser after a day of being out and about.

Burt's Bees calming toner with witch hazel and rose: this was the very first toner I ever tried, and it has me hooked to toners. Ever since I started using it, I have noticed how much my skin has felt a lot more even as well as smoothened out. I love that it isn't heavy either I can use it any time of the day without feeling like an extra layer added to my skin.

Burt Bees Sensitive Eye Cream: this has completely changed the game for under my eyes. I honestly didn't know anything about eye creams before using this product, and never even saw the purpose to them. But after using this now, I am onboard for eye creams! My dark circles under my eyes have completely disappeared, and it has helped to make my eyes look more awake.

Cetaphil daily hydrating lotion: this has been my go-to for a while now. I love that it is very lightweight and almost feels like you are using water that hydrates without being sticky and laid on.

Dove Body Wash: I love any of the dove body washes so perfect for showers. You get out of the shower with your skin feeling so refreshed.

• You are a badass by Jen Sincero was created to be a source of constant motivation. As a mom, I won't lie have dealt with a lot of doubting and second-guessing myself. So this book by Jen helps you to see your greatness, to realize just how much we are capable of
• Becoming by Michelle Obama, I loved reading this book to learn about Michelle Obama past the first lady aspect of her. I have always loved her, but getting to read her story from her perspective and the things she overcame to get to where she is today is just the ultimate motivator as a young mom. 
• Girl Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis, I haven't read this book, but it is at the top of my must-read. Rachel Hollis has always been behind the message of living your life and going for what you want, not what the world says. So I love this book is forcing women to stop trying to dim their light, but instead go for what we want. I know as young moms, this is something a lot of us tend to do, thinking of our families and kids first before ourselves. 

• The Subtle art of not giving a f*ck by Mark Manson, I think the title pretty much says it all here. As moms, we have to care, but learning not to internalize; this book can make changes in our lives in that aspect. 
• The Gifts of Imperfections by Brene Brown, we all know Brene is just a gem, the messages she shares will always uplift you. I think this book helps give perspective, to know that life won't be perfect, but how do you move past it and still thrive through the imperfections. 

• Heather Robertson: I feel like her workouts are the most thorough feels like you have your trainer right in your home. But this is no workout channel for anyone needing a sweet/simple exercise. Her workouts are more fast-paced and sure to give you a burn for a few days. It's very detailed, very well timed, plus the structure makes it very easy to follow. 
•  MadFit is my everyday type of work out for a quick and simple workout to give me just the boost I need to get going with my day. Maddie is a little more fun with her exercises and has a mix of dance choreography and quick and easy HIIT workouts. Her structure is pretty easy to follow, but its best for short and thorough exercise. 
• Emi Wong: Emi was one of the very first at-home workouts I did when I decided I was going to start doing at-home exercises. I think her works outs are perfect for beginners who don't want anything too intense and want to be able to keep up. She isn't as structured and thorough as the other ladies, but if you aren't a big fitness person, it won't matter to you.
