WHAT A NEW BLOG!

Hey loves!

Yes yes it is true. I started up a beauty and fashion blog called If The Throne Fits like I told you guys I would. I just put in my very first post with so much more to come. I am a stay at home mom and wife but to keep my sanity and a big part of my life revolves around beauty and fashion. I was a student a couple years ago at Aveda and I have learned so much from there and loved my time there that I still use today. I didn't want to mix my lifestyle blog with fashion and beauty blog in one spot there would be way too much to content you can hardly keep up. So I hope you guys check that out as well and favorite it because I have big plans for that blog just like I do this one :D 

I posted a blog on mid season sales for kiddos now you can check out the mid season sales for you here at If The Throne Fits. 

Sales going on now!

Hey loves!

Never again will I go to the mall with my hubby, the kids were great, but my husband was in a constant *sigh*, huffing every 3 minutes, and commenting. All I heard the entire hour and a half we were in there was a... "why can't you stick to one store", "How much longer?", "Your a horrible shopper you know that".

I admit I am the worst shopper EVER according to my husband. In his defense... I can be. I am not the GET IN, AND GET OUT kind of shopper. I can take a list all I want but I will not go with a single thing on there. When I go shopping I like to look, test or try out whatever it is before buying, and check the price. Very rarely will I splurge. I will only splurge with my income taxes because it's a once a year thing why not.

I give myself a budget and only take that much cash with me so I don't over spend. This is a way I personally like to save money and it works!!!!!! This shopping trip I only had a $90 limit but everything is on sale for the Mid-Season Sales. Which is perfect and I just so happened to walk into this on accident lol I had no clue this sale even existed but I am so glad it does. So on with my haul

I only shopped at Sears and JCPenny's because they had the best sales going on

SEARS:

I got the girls and outfit a piece and I could not leave the store without these. I browsed everything until I found 2 outfits that matched because I am the dorky parent that love's kids matching outfits especially sisters.

ONLY $4.99 a piece! and Lyrix's outfit is Ralph Lauren! How cute are these?  :)

Other sales:

• THE CHILDREN'S PLACE: 25% off new Fall line, 50% off entire store (of course not including the new Fall line), up to 50% off back to school fashion, and All denim are $5.99 and up. Also a free Hotel Transylvania 2 glow in the dark magnet.

Fun Fall activities and crafts for your kiddos

Hey loves!

So here are some of my favorite activities and crafts you can do with your kiddos for the Fall Season! These are some we do every year and some new ones we are going to try. Have I ever mentioned my love for Pinterest? Yes you guys I found all these on Pinterest and a few I googled and pinned :)

Let the crafting and fun begin!

Glitter Pumpkins: These are so much fun my kids love anything messy and things that are not they make messy. To my munchkins chaos is better. This is a fun way to put that chaos to good use, and also amazing decorations made special by your littles.

Ghost Bowling : This looks like so much fun I cannot wait to try it this season :) 

Pom Pom Apple Tree: So simple and cute, yet enough to keep your kiddo busy

Brown Bag Turkey (no glue) : I used to love doing these when I was little, now I am even more in love with making these with my littles! My 3 year old old plays with these for hours and hours and days and days! A perfect fall must do craft. 

Fall Sensory Bin : I am obsessed with any sensory bin. Perfect way to keep a child busy all day and so many fun educational activities to do with a sensory bin.

You can find more activities from here. They have such great activities and books for your children and you!

Here is also a Fall Fun list.

CAUTION: Mainstream Filth Ahead! Be prepared to get a new obsession to Rock N' Roll

Hey Loves!

I want to really want to open everyone's eyes to this amazing Rock N' Roll band. Let me begin by saying I am not much on Rock N' Roll. Its not my go to music usually, I really have to be in the mood to listen to it but, Mainstream Filth is absolutely a must check out! This is a 2 man Rock N' Roll band and let me say how awesome it is that 2 guys can make such awesome music!

Vocals and guitar is done by Andrew Vinson and drums are done by Austin Jiles. These 2 together make such amazing sound. Like I said normally I don't listen to Rock N' Roll but I really love the music. The lyrics are real and something anyone can relate to. When I listen to their music I find myself bobbing my head and moving to it. The beat of the songs are killer! I highly recommend and even urge you all to go and check them out. Both of these guys are really amazing personality wise and they put their all into it which really to me sets them apart because you can tell they love doing this. So share their music videos, check them out, follow them on twitter and favorite their website. I know you wont be disappointed by this band!

My favorite song that I always have to listen to when I hop on Youtube is 1991... I love the slow and steady rhythm to it and it even has Andrew's gorgeous wife in the vocals as well.

Don't forget to check them out and definitely show them some love, attend a show to see the epic awesomeness that is Mainstream Filth in person and don't forget to get you a shirt as well! If you can't, tell I am definitely a huge fan, even my 5 and almost 3 year old love their music so you know they have to be good!! Tell your friends, your brother, your sister, even your mom and grandma, Mainstream Filth is where it's at!

You can catch Mainstream Filth and stay connected with them here.

What's in my diaper bag.?

Hey Loves!

So I am a big beauty and fashion person I am so in love with it, but I am not your average person. I still wear old style outfits and even new ones. Old make up looks and a lot of new ones. On a lot of blogs I see a What's in my purse/bag? post, What's in my make up bag? post, What's in my closet? post, well you get the point. Since this is a mommy blog I figured it would be fun to do a What's in my diaper bag? post since I really haven't seen on a mommy blog yet one of these posts. I am sure it's out there, But there are thousands... well that's under- exaggerating, there are millions of bloggers out there on the web, and millions of YouTuber's doing there thang, out on the internet.

I figured this would be really fun to do. It will show you guys how I pack for a day or trip out of the house with my 3 munchkins and possibly give you guys idea's about what your missing in your diaper bag you forgot, or something you never really thought of, or even some things that you have thought of but felt like you were over packing and really would never use. I am going to set one thing straight.... you can never go wrong with over packing! Better to be over prepared then under prepared. I know this from experience. I have been broke down on the side of the road with all my kids and husband, I have been in several accidents in stores, my kids have had several bathroom accidents in public, and even myself have had accidents, due to me suffering from Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome (unfortunately in the medical world this is not really noticed by health care professionals but ladies it is a very very real thing, and it sucks, I will do a post later on it). With kids you never know what may happen, so it's better to over analyze a situation and prepare yourself for the absolute worst thing possible.

My latest fiasco was in Publix the other day. We go shopping every other week on payday, since I am a stay-at-home mom for now we shop mainly around his schedule and how much he gets paid. I will make a bi-weekly post on this too, how we feed our family of 5 on $200 at most every 2 week, this even includes house hold items. Anyways, while we were shopping there was a sale for all regular sized Dawn dish soaps. We went to go check out and as I was putting things up on the belt, I realized that there was a fantastic smelling gooey stuff on ALL my groceries. Yes ALL my groceries. I really got furious and embarrassed because it was all over the place and our 45 min shopping trip turned into almost an hour and 30 min because I had to wait for them to clean it up and I decided instead of leaving my grocery cart and re-shopping for my items. I figured to just wipe them off and purchase them anyways. At least they wouldn't be wasted or tossed. I was so glad that I had a couple of burp rags/receiving blankets even though my youngest doesn't use them anymore they are great for a lot of things, especially clean up.

So without further a due, Here's whats in my diaper bag:

Now what I have here in this picture above is missing 2 items because my almost 3 year old decided to run off with them so here is a list

• Chap stick: My lips get really dry and my 5 year old loves to put some on as well
• A Pen and Highlighter: I always forget these when I go shopping, this way I have it for when I need it 
• Travel Size Perfume: I got these as a free gift for shopping online at Sephora, these some in handy for when I am in a rush out the door, surprise date night like my hubby likes to do, or just to spray at random when I am working with AAV, we do a lot of lifting and running around and even meeting celebs or important people which is a big part of our job to be around them, and last thing I want to be remembered by is the smelly worker lol. (my latest perfume obsession is Cartier Basier Vole Lys Rose you can get it at Amazon and Spehora. Amazon would be cheaper they are expensive but so worth it!)
•  10 diapers: I have 2 babies in diapers so that would be 5 for each since they wear the same size diapers. I restock whatever I use when I get home, that way I always have 10 diapers on me at all times.
• My wallet: kind of a necessity 
• Toys for Lyrix 
• A spare shirt for me: with kids especially babies, you never know whats going to heppen from spit up, to poop, to being pee'd on. Or even if it rains
• Spare clothes for the kids
• Baby hair ties: Yes I have only 1 child who needs these and that would be the youngest, but her hair is always in her eyes so we keep these here for when we need to put her hair up. 
• Secret's of a Six Figure Woman book: This is my inspirational book I have been reading. It really is about empowering yourself as a woman and how to work your way up in the job field ethically and know what you are worth, maybe your being under paid, maybe you want to be a big wig CEO, write a book, whatever it is this is helping you channel your inner boss lady and make yourself Six figures a year.
• Lastly wipes: kind of a universal use for these from cleaning faces to cleaning little booties. 

Not shown but kept in the diaper bag: Receiving blanket, bottle, and spare small jug of milk/formula for Lyrix, of course I take my phone but that is a necessity, I even take that to the bathroom with me lol

Before I end this post, since I also have a big thing for beauty an fashion, I will be coming out with a new blog called If the Throne fits. This is a mommy/ lifestyle blog in which I will be incorporating me new blog beauty and fashion blog into it where you mommies can follow a link and get updates from here about my new posts there. There will hauls, freebies, make up tutorials, hair tutorials, and so much more, I am so excited to be sharing that with you guys. So stay tuned and stay golden you guys <3

Do it for the "Holy S**t you go hot!"

Hey loves!

Being healthy is really important. I have always been the type talked about working out and people would look at me like I am crazy and tell me "your skinny you don't need to lose anymore weight", "why would you want to work out your skin and bones", "you don't need to work out you look good the way you are".  Well I want to workout for myself. To be healthy, fell good emotionally and mentally, while looking smoking hot. I want to be someones fitspiration. I want to do it for the "holy s**t you got hot!".

Don't get me wrong you guys, I love myself. But, like a lot of people, I do things I want to tweek about my appearance. One main thing is, after 3 children my body is not what it used to be. Even back when I was skinny my body was not what I wanted it to be because I was too skinny.  I am 6' 1 in height.... yes I know I am an Amazon Woman lol. Before kids I was 125 lbs now after 3 kids I am the heaviest I have ever been non-pregnancy weight at 186 lbs.


I woke up last weekend and was tired of feeling like I would take a nap after being awake for an hour, where jogging after my kids 10 ft and I was out of breath and feeling like I was going to die and my heart was going to pound out of my chest into traffic. I set up myself some inspiration photos, inspiration quotes that I knew would make me work harder. I now have a workout goal!

For more fitness motivations go and check out my Fitspiration Pinterest board here.

I got on Pinterest (which everything i find is from Pinterest lol) and found some workout routines and calendars, looked on YouTube and subscribed to fitness music play lists, and fitness videos. I don't have any equipment yet but to me that's ok I feel like I need to build up my routines! Start out slow and work my self up to eventually lifting. Yes you heard me right... lifting! Hello sexy booty by doing squats with a bar and weights! I switched everything in my house from eating ready to eat TV dinners, knorr pasta side, and eating out 4 nights a week, to all clean eating at home with fresh farmers market produce, healthy meats, protien shakes, and meal planning.

Music for working out

Here are my start out routines I have been doing this past week.

For more workouts, and challenges go and check out my Yea, I workout board. Yes lol I did name it after the LMFAO Sexy and I know it song.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post and was able to get your inspiration to start like I did or the inspiration to keep going. Its a slow processes just remember hard work pays off and your results are coming, Rome wasn't built in a day and continue to watch as I post updates on my journey to being fit, healthy, and strong <3
