I grew up in a fairly open family where I wasn't worried someone would come barging in if I didn't lock the bathroom door and also felt it wasn't a huge deal to not latch the door completely.  Everyone respected each other's privacy and bodily functions were definitely never something to be ashamed of.

That said, in the past, after getting comfortable with a boyfriend, peeing with the door open wasn't a huge deal, however with Marco...
Outfit deets:
* Bobeau top from Winners (similar here)
* Smart Set cami which is reversible.
* Urban Planet 'Brazil' black skinnies.
* Forever 21 wedge booties (total Isabel Marant cop, I know, wish I could purchase the real deal).
* Accessories: Garage Beanie, F21 necklace & Bizou sunglasses.

This outfit, or a very similar variation, has been on repeat for the past month or so.  I'm loving cross-over tops like this and have a few other colours that I recently added in my closet from various, inexpensive brands and fabrics.  They are forgiving but still show you have a bod underneath being so open.

As you know, neutrals are my jam but pairing some basics like this that have some flare just edges up the overall look.  I love throwing on a beanie to (1) cover up my roots or dirty hair, and (2) it looks freaking cool without even trying.

Casual Friday in my current fave wedge snow boots (still available!).


Friday night didn't exactly go as planned; we were planning to a host a board game night but it fell through due to lack of participation and then there was a snowstorm and snow squall warnings so our follow-up plans didn't pan out either.  

I ended up coming home and making these two-ingredient pancakes and added a scoop of vanilla protein (I seriously make these at least twice a week, but often more, for snacks and breakfast) and we watched a movie.


Outfit deets:  Joe fresh top, Lululemon tank, Mondetta leggings (similar) & Aldo leg warmers (old; similar & I like these).

Saturday morning, post gym, pre shower.

 More after the jump...

If you're an acrylic nail lover, you know the deal: the initial mani lasts a week and then the re-growth is apparent or maybe you're just bored and in need of a polish change.

Today I'm showing you how I paint my acrylic nails; it's super simply but I am sharing one crucial tip in the video below that will make or break your mani.  Click play to check it out!





Today I'm sharing an at-home booty and legs workout.  While I do hit the gym for my workouts, these are all moves I do and that can be done anywhere.

Since leg day is something I always do on my own, this is my own routine I've come up with that works for me.  I find leg day takes the longest workout to bang out, but I always leave with shaky limbs and sore muscles days afterwards--which proves it's working!

One quick tip before we get into the workout: don't forget to consume some sort of protein within 30 minutes post-workout (I like Muscle Farm Combat in Milk Chocolate because it's quick, but if you're not into protein powder, chicken, fish and eggs are great sources).  Your muscles are torn and need protein to build and repair.  If you don't consume protein after your workout, your muscles are not being fed and therefore cannot grow and tone to their full potential.

Now, onto the workout!
