MUM

Lawdy, I am really pregnant! Lol I still mumble those words every so often throughout my day. I always get asked, how does it feel? “Before becoming pregnant, I would ask the same question, I think.” But in all actuality, being pregnant feels rather normal. Yeah, I do feel 30 pounds heavier and I can feel a human doing the 40′s (dance) in my belly, other than that I feel pretty much like Sade’. I go about my day to day task and wear my baby bump proudly. I have been lucky to not experience morning sickness and my emotions aren’t what I’d call wishy washy. In comparison to the stories I’ve been told, this has been a total piece of cake. Blessed! I guess you can say I am enjoying the ride, interacting with only good vibes, and keeping my eyes on this ‘JAH‘ prize!

Natural Hair Gone Head and Stare!!!

I know you WANNA!

Hydratherma + Natty Coco

Lé twist Lé twist! I am so pleased with these two products that I've been sampling. I usually don't use sample sizes, especially when it comes to "shampoos and conditioners," because it's never enough. But I was so happy to have tried these two products pictured. My old twist out needed moisture so I spritzed my hair with Hydratherma hair mist then detangled and twisted my hair and added more moisture with Natty Coco's Daily Hair Moisture. Bomb bomb bomb! I'm probably the only person that still says, "bomb." So WHAT! My twist came out defined, elongated and moisturized. It's a great mix/ match up!!! Kuddos #teamnatty

Red Lip and 34 Weeks

My hair is growing so much... Is it due to my Prenatal One prenatal pills or is it from pregnancy itself? I have no clue but I am loving it. My hair has gotten so thick and my bangs are growing out it's classic bowl shaped natural style. I make sure I twist it extra tight in the front so that it does not fall too much in my face. Anyhoo... This kitty was 34 weeks in this picture. I'm currently 37 weeks, so yes I'm playing blog catch up. Lol.. I decided to throw on print on print today with my Wheat Timberland boots. The snow is stacked here in Chicago so you won't catch me slipping. Never Slip.. Too cool for that ish! Ha I'm lying.

Painting On the Low

Yeah, I've been painting on the low... As I prepare for the company of my little one. Being a stay at home soon to be mom, I've been granted a ton of free time. So I'm currently in the process of creating a museum wall in my pad. I want all artwork that have been created by myself, my partner and Jah'ir to be broadcast through our entire space. These are a few paintings I've finished up.

What's your thoughts? Lé Paint Lé Live Lé Art

Wand curls, H&M and my Baby #1. Ok so am I obessed with H&M or nah? Lol. It's my staple go to place I tell ya. I be singing, H&M don't fail me now, I gotta turn this money out, cause I don't want nobody else." Lol. But anyhoo I caught this jumpsuit on their online Christmas sale for the lovely $20 dollar holla. Got a size 6 so that baby bump would be comfy. I probably will not be wearing it again until after baby, so hopefully I keep some of my thickness lol. I usually wear a size 4 in H&M jumpsuits, but this has a relaxed fit so it's ok for it to be a bit big. Paired it with an H&M choker and my Akira booties.

The Look: H&M Jumpsuit - $20 dollar holla

                  H&M Necklace - $5 dollar holla 

                  Akira Booties - $60

Pregnant in Timbs

My bay bay brought me some timberland boots so I could be stomping in style for this Chicago winter. Lawdy knows you don't want to see a pregnant women slipping and sliding. That's a definite NO GO! lol. No but for real. This was one item on my Christmas list, so as Pari wants Pari gets. "Thanks Jamel." 

Anyhoo, paired my timbs with an all blue and denim look. Since my 8 month growth, I can barely fit a thing and I refuse to waste anymore funds on pregnancy clothing seeing that I only have 1 month to go... I threw on Jamel's baby blue sweat shirt, paired it with my H&M boyfriend jeans, and Gap denim button up which I can no longer fit so I threw it around my waist and said, "Let's Werk," the bump. LOL. 

Headed out for Gumbo at my moms to celebrate the New Year!!

Happy New Year, Happy 2015, Happy New Loves, Happy New Life

Warming Up with My Baby

We are beyond excited to become parents. It's a lovely feeling when two individuals are on the same page, and create something as beautiful as a child out of pure natural love. I loved Jamel since the first time I met him, 7 years ago in college. That was when my world changed. To look and see that we have came this far is mind boggling to me.

But like I always say and sing, the Jason Mraz, song titled Lucky,

                    Lucky I'm in love with my best friend

                    Lucky to have been where I have been

                    Lucky to be coming home again

                    Lucky we're in love in every way

                    Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed

                    Lucky to be coming home someday....
