  • Stop telling women to smile____________ I walked by this mural on my first trip to Chicago over 3 years ago. It was like negative 20 degrees and Bryan was trying to show me around while simultaneously freezing his butt off because this Chicago native had not dressed warmly enough while your girl did a pretty good job being prepared for the tundra. But I remember taking a picture in front of this because I loved the images of all the diverse women (I’ll show you the whole thing on stories) but what resonated with me was the message. Not sure about you but I am not the kind of girl that smiles all the time for no reason. So I often heard “smile” as I was growing up and been now, it really bugs me for a couple reasons. 1. Why do women HAVE to smile all the time? Why is it not acceptable to be serious instead of soft. Just cuz we aren’t smiling doesn’t mean we are angry or upset.Why don’t people walk around telling men to smile more?! 2. Why would you sit there and tell someone to smile when that is not their intent. Maybe that’s just their face, maybe their in a bad mood.... you don’t know. Instead you would rather make them feel forced to give you some awkward fake smile so that you could feel good about yourself. Haha it really bugs me. Do you feel the same?
  • Isn’t it funny how life works? When I took this picture, I was ruffling through clothing trying to find some cute stuff I wanted to shoot and then I saw this organe Chicago sweater and faded stone wash jeans and thought it would be cute to take a picture in them because my husband is from Chicago. Well 6 months later, I’ve come full circle and here I am on my second week living in Chicago. Im excited for this new chapter with my family. If you have any recommendations for me that pertain to Chicago in general please leave a comment. They would be greatly appreciated. #happyfridayeveryone #chicagolocal #chicagoblogger #newtochicago
  • VISIBLE IMPROVEMENTS IN SEVERAL WEEKS! I’m so happy to report that after using the @bioeffectofficial EGF serum for the past few weeks my skin is firmer, bounces back faster, and has a luminosity I haven’t seen in a while. #Ad This was my very first experience with EGF and I’m definitely a fan now! It was important to me that the serum only contained 7 ingredients, so I knew exactly what I was applying to my face. I would definitely recommend you look into this EGF Serum if you’re looking to try a new skincare product that will hydrate and restore your skin this winter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BIOEFFECTPARTNER #BIOEFFECT #BIOEFFECTEGFSERUM

  • Happy thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽 hope your day is filled with good food, some good booze and great conversations! This is the first time im not eating a home cooked meal for thanksgiving because Bryan and I are exhausted from our move and road trip and we don’t have any of our furniture or kitchen things so we will go out to eat. Curious if it will feel less festive? Do you ever just go out to eat instead of going a home cooked meal?
  • Finally got back in the gym yesterday and man did it feel good. I’m gonna start going regularly to at least even out the calories I’ll be eating during the holidays lol. My plan is to to cardio 3 days a week with at least 1 day of weights. Who’s with me?! Let’s keep each other accountable.
  • What brings you the most joy? Do you ever sit and think about that? I hope you do because you can make more room for those thing and less for the things that make you doubt yourself and feel less than. —— My little cats @peenyhoudini @smushball and our dog @mypetpawsy bring us so much joy and happiness, I can’t imagine a world without them. I would move mountains for them becaYe THEY ARE my babies. When they are sick I feel down when I’m down they can always bring a smile to my face. I mean who wouldn’t want that?! —— That’s why it’s so important to me that the transition from Los Angeles to Chicago was a smooth one for is but mainly for them because unlike Bryan and I, they don’t know what’s going on. That’s why we decided to drive across country. Because flying all 3 pets in the winter was gonna be more stressful on them then a slow and steady car ride. I’m working on the Vlog now of our cross country trip. So stay tuned for that. But I found this picture of Peeny and just wanted to give her and the other fire members of our family a shout-out. —— Do you have any pets? I’d love to know what they are and their names?

Laser Hair Removal

A while back, I posted on Instagram about my laser hair removal and many of you had questions about how long I’’ve been doing it and if it really works.

Well, I started doing laser hair removal in 2010, and I’’m still doing it every couple months so it’s definitely not permanent hair removal. It’’s permanent hair reduction.

And, it’s painful!! They told me it felt like a rubber band snap, and that’s definitely not the case. It is a small zap but it’’s often hot and it stings! Now the lasers are more advanced then in 2010 so they hurt less but are still painful.

However, it is worth it in my opinion. Depending on your pain tolerance, it’s manageable especially with numbing cream (for the more sensitive areas). Not having ever to shave makes my life so much easier and getting ready faster. With pool season just starting, I love always being bikini-ready.

  7. Hey Andrea! You have lovely smooth toned legs!you’re absolutely perfect… I’ve got cellulite around my thighs and a banana roll right below my butt. The underbooty area is also pretty dark on my fair skin (with stretch marks too yikes!). It would be amazing to have some tips to address such issues. I’m sure many of us hesitate to get into a bikini coz of this!
