WHAT I WORE IN THAILAND

I feel like such a real blogger when I do those kind of posts, it’s great. To be quite honest I’m not a very fashionable person, I just like to be wearing whatever I feel most comfortable in, and when it looks good it’s a plus!

When I got pregnant I ordered some maternity clothes and I finally had to start wearing them like a couple weeks before the trip, so they were my go to when I packed my bags for Thailand.

Look 1: Skirt + t-shirt // Earrings // Sandals

Look 2: Turtleneck shirt + pants // Sunglasses // Wedges

Look 3: Dress

Look 4: Top // Shorts // Coverup // Sunglasses

TEA TALK

I’ve always been a major coffee person. It has been my main fuel for years – then I got pregnant, and my doctor recommended to slow down on the caffeine intake during those months. And so it began my quest searching for something that’d up my energy levels.

Tam (@mamabele) told me to try these packed teas and I just love them! My energy is back up like a dream. It’s a blend of oolong, goji berry, lemongrass, and some I just can’t remember right now. They claim it can also boost the immune system, help with digestion…Plus, it’s all natural and vegan friendly!

try it now!

03 . 07 . 2013

Since our wedding day was 5 years (plus one week!) ago, I figured this blog needed some throwback photos. Angus beared our rings! It was an almost warm spring night, and we had some fabric and lights to make a magical ceiling. We also got sunflowers, my favorites, as the main decoration. One of the happiest days of my life.

We’re lucky we had no rain!
