I swear I had no intention of posting all striped dresses, clearly I love me some stripes!

Last one is adorable, but only so you know I buy things other than stripes!

With so many showers coming up, I really miss my waistline!

Happy Spring!

Beauty Products I Cannot Live Without

There are some things I simply cannot live with out right now, and those are these glorious products:

Shampoo and Conditioner: Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle - An inexpensive and great smelling treat

Body Cleanser: Lavender Bisous de Provence at Trader Joe's -  Lavender bar soap with Shea butter and exfoliating lavender that is my five minute spa day for daily use

Perfume: Jo Malone's Vintage Gardenia - Ms. Malone, I'd give my left leg for you to bring this scent back! Please!!!!

Face Cleanser and Face Lotion: Trader Joe's Nourish Antioxidant Facial Cleanser & Conditioner - Started using this a couple months into my pregnancy when my skin changed, loving my skin again! It's very gentle but washes make-up off in seconds.

Spot Corrector: Arcona Spot Tabula Rose - This little secret weapon helps with those dark spots from old and new blemishes. I LOVE this gem!

Body Lotion: Trader Joe's Lavender Hand and Body Lotion - I've been using this no-fail treat for years, it used to be by Avalon Organics before TJ's private labeled it. The scent is light and calming, my husband loves it too!

Stretch Mark Prevention: Belli Elasticity Oil - Ummm... we shall see! This product smells great, isn't too greasy and so far so good!

Bronzer: Bobbi Brown Bronze Shimmer Brick from Nordstrom - I use bronzer year round, I think it highlights cheekbones perfectly.

Mascara: Korres Volcanic Mineral Volumizing Mascara from Sephora - I have found this to me the most gentle and easy to remove mascara. I chose this because of the rave reviews on how huge your eyelashes turn out and how the ingredients exclude parabens, dyes and all the icky stuff.

Eyelash Curler: Shu Uemera - Hands-down the best beauty tool ever, right?

Pure Tea Tree Oil: Whole Foods 365 brand - it's an affordable option and a little goes a long way. I use this for literally everything!

-For mild rashes

-As a cleaning product (mixed with baking soda, water and hydrogen peroxide)

-As an antiseptic (watered down)

-For blemishes

-As a room cleanser (diluted with water)

Birthday Celebrations

March is "it's my birthday" month in the Schuler household

I spent March 7-10 letting the birthday boy milk it, after all it is the last year our birthdays will probably be a big deal!

We enjoyed a great meal full of wackiness and jokes with our close friends we have made through the years at his work at the House of Prime Rib

You really cannot go wrong with a delicious meal from this long standing treat in San Francisco, we feast here as a family at least two times a year, it's all just too fun 

Saturday evening we spent another evening with celebrating Brad and our friend Mike's birthday with close friends from home at a local restaurant, Dragon Rouge and our friends bar, The Churchward after, again too fun - the hubs was a happy man with all his closest friends acting his goofy self

These two are complete and total hams - love them!

Happy Birthday Month Mike and Brad!

26 Week Update

 26 Week Baby Bump

Brad wasn't home to take my bump shot, hope to update tomorrow!

 

Image - HERE

Baby's Size?: A head of lettuce
Due Date?: June 16th
Total weight gained/lost: 15lbs! Friday's appointment nearly had me falling off the scale but according to my Dr. I am perfectly on track. Still... I squirm when I think of that number!
Exercise this Week?: Pilates 3 times! Yeah!
Maternity Clothes?: Yes, loving cotton dresses with boots and my poncho still
Stretch Marks?: No thank goodness
Belly Button?: Still in
Wedding Rings On/Off?: On
Sleep?: Same as last week, terrible leg cramps. Upping my calcium intake in hopes to help this
Best Moment of the Week: Spending quality time with Brad for his birthday and waking up to him with his hand on my belly feeling Tate move
Movement?: Yes, lots! Dr. said now I should feel him move everyday and to monitor it (one more thing to stress about?)
Food Craving?: Blueberries and granola with yogurt
Food aversions?: None, maybe that's my problem!
Morning Sickness?: Little queasiness here and there, mainly when I'm too full
Gender?: Boy - Baby Tate Reynold
What I Miss?: Wine, as in more than one glass!
What I am Looking Forward to?: Finishing up the nursery, nesting mode is in full throttle now!

I've been feeling MUCH better these last two weeks, I still do not nearly have as much energy as I did pre-pregnancy, but it is better
Sleeping has been my biggest pain, I wake up 5-10 times a night with wicked leg cramps and muscle spasms
Then when that wakes me up, I have a hard time falling back asleep since Tate apparently is practicing for soccer or football tryouts and is kicking under my right rib - oh boy!
I am loving pregnancy so far, but am still working on "embracing" my new figure
Walking into Gap and seeing all the lovely Spring dresses makes me miss my waist!
I am so looking forward to April!

Tori

Happy Birthday, Pea!
