Maternity Style-Seventh Month: Living in Maxi Dresses

This post is a month late, but better late than never, right?

I also realize that the quality of these photos is not the best, but when you’re pregnant with your ninth child, you do the best you can. Know what I mean?

At any rate, my maternity style in the last couple of months has consisted largely of maxi dresses and skirts. They are comfy and breathable and they seem to do a fairly good job of balancing the proportions of my belly-to-the-rest-of-body ratio. At least that’s what I’m telling myself. At the very least, they make me feel a little less like a whale!

This pretty purple maxi dress came from Zulily and it has been in heavy rotation in my wardrobe lately. I like the faux wrap front, and there is still plenty of room for my belly to grow. It is super comfy–I feel like I am wearing my pajamas all day, yet it looks put together without any effort. What more could a pregnant mama ask for?

I am also wearing maxi skirts with maternity tees quite often these days, for the same reasons as the dresses. They are comfortable and modest and easy to throw on but still look nice.

Obviously, this look shows off the bump a lot more than a flowy dress does. I have worn both of these skirts for my last four pregnancies, so it’s a look I have felt comfortable in for a while now!

Here’s to another month gone by! I am actually in my eighth month now, so the time to meet this little one is getting closer!

Fab Fit Fun Unboxing—Summer 2019

Oh, the joy of opening a new seasonal subscription box! It’s like receiving a surprise gift from yourself four times a year. I have subscribed to a small handful of these type of boxes over the years, but by far my favorite of them all has been the Fab Fit Fun box. The box comes out 4 times a year: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter—one for each season. The cost for each box is $49.99, but the items included in each box are full sized, high quality products whose combined value always exceeds $200. How’s that for an amazing deal?

I love opening the box each time it comes and seeing what treasures are inside. The outside of the box itself is part of the fun as it is always decorated with original artwork and is made of sturdy, heavy duty cardboard. (My daughter has started collecting the boxes to store things in, and they work great for that purpose!)

The selection of items in each box always includes a nice variety of beauty and personal care products, fashion, and items for the home. It’s a carefully curated box with some real lovely things inside.

The Summer 2019 is no exception. This season’s box is an array of really great items. Without further ado, let’s take a peek inside. . .

As I mentioned, the outside of the box is always covered in beautiful artwork. The summer box has a season-appropriate tropical theme which is super fun.

Each box includes a mini magazine with articles, fitness tips, recipes, and information on each of the products in the box. Flipping through it makes the experience of looking through the box even more enjoyable.

My box held a Sutra Professional Mini Travel Blow Dryer. I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks like a high quality styling tool—and the best part is that it included a diffuser, which is rare for a mini dryer and something this curly girl really appreciates.

I received a Summer & Rose Navy Diamond Tote in my box. This tote is gorgeous as well as sturdy and practical. It would make a perfect beach bag.

The Jennifer Zeuner Star Double Necklace was in my box, and it is so pretty and delicate. I plan to give mine to my daughter for her birthday next month.

Eyeko London Eye Do Black Liquid Eyeliner—every girl can use a good eyeliner. It’s always fun to try a new beauty product and most FFF boxes include one.

The Doctor Rogers Restore Healing Balm is an all natural balm that soothes and heals dry and damaged skin. It really does feel healing when applied.

Invisibobble Duo Pack is a package of hair ties that provide a strong yet gentle grip on the hair.

Generation Clay Ultra Violet Brightening Purple Clay Mask—it’s perfect for a little at home spa night. Can’t wait to try it. It really is purple!

Grace & Stella Rose Facial Spray is a refreshing moisturizing spray that smells like actual roses. It’s amazing!

Whish Exfoliating Foot Mask has natural ingredients like willow bark extract and pumpkin seed to exfoliate and polish your feet. Perfect for summertime pedicures!
