Maternity Photos Featuring My Sister's Closet Boutique

Hey there! Happy 2017! I'm a few weeks late, I know, but better late than never, right? 

Welp, in case you haven't been follow along with me on my Instagram (which you should if you aren't so follow HERE!), I'll catch you up real fast! 2017 is going to be pretty exciting and busy for us because we will be welcoming a little girl into our family in April! I am already 28 weeks and into my third trimester and it is crazy how fast this pregnancy is flying by for me. I think it has something to do with the fact that I chase a toddler around all day so my days already fly by but I'm not complaining! We are very excited and glad it's flying by!

I've learned a lot since my first baby and I will be committing a post to my second time around must have baby registry here in the coming weeks and I'm sure it will be so different from the one I posted when I was pregnant with my son but I'll get working on that and get it up soon! But for now I wanted to share some fun (early) impromtu maternity pictures my amazing Instagram husband took for me this weekend when we were up in the mountains trying to get out of the smog here in the valley. I love the snowy mountains here in Utah during the winter, they are so pretty! I'm grateful we live so close and are able to travel up frequently to get away and get out of the pollution even just for a few hours.

It's kind of crazy too how much faster my belly has grown this time around, I am actually kind of nervous to see how much bigger it gets considering I still have three months left! But that is why I've been loving this flowy dress from My Sister's Closet Boutique because it's been able to keep up with my growing belly and still stays at a good length for me plus its super cute for when I'm not pregnant as well! They aren't a maternity shop but they have so many trendy pieces that will work for if you are (because, lets be honest, cute and affordable maternity clothes are kind of hard to find, for me at least) and if you aren't, you definitely need to head over and check them out! They are great and so kind and helpful plus I have a little discount code for you! Use code ARROWSAPRICOTS and get 10% off your entire purchase! Can't go wrong with saving money, am I right? 

I hope you have a lovely week! I'll see you again here soon!

Glamour Gels Nail Bar Review

Hey there! Long time no see! I've been busy lately with life, you know how it is. One day you realize its been like 3 months since you've posted last and you think, "what have I even been doing?!" Yeah, I don't even know haha. Oh well. I did want to make sure all of you locals to northern Utah knew about my new favorite place to treat yourself though! If you are a gel nail connoisseur or even if you aren't, you need to know about the cutest salon, Glamour Gels Nail Bar located in Sandy, Utah. I've recently started going there and seriously, their gel is magic! They have created an amazing gel that lasts for so long without chips, lifts or cracks! They even guarantee them for 3 weeks after your appointment and will fix them if they do chip crack or lift which is unheard of! 

I have a really embarrassing pic of my nails 6 weeks after having them done that I want you to see because, aside from the major regrowth, the gel still looks amazing and has zero chips or scratches. and it left my nails feeling so strong with is also unusual when you use gel or shellac. 

After 6 weeks. Yikes! But that gel held up!

Right after appointment. Color is called Allure and made into a matte. I'm obsessed with them and the shape and stare at them all day. 

You need to go there if you are into gel nails or even if you ever get your nails done. They also offer pedicures! Go treat yourself! You'll fall in love!

So, I don't know about you, but I have an overwhelming love for Target. There is a good chance I visit one of my local stores at least once a week. Ok that is an understatement, it might be more like at least 4 times a week, on a slow week... I might have a problem. (My husband might agree with that statement but don't tell him I admitted it!) In my defense though, I am a bargain shopper. I love me some Target clearance and honestly it is rare that I pay full price for much of anything there. Which is why I have an overflowing closet and way too many shoes BUT I'm saving money by buying these things at 30-70% (or more) off right? So therefore I can justify buying more items more often. I would be losing money if I didn't buy these clearance items! You know what I mean?

Ok so the point I'm trying to make here is that you don't have to spend a fortune on clothes to look and feel good. It does take a little bit of patience to sort through things but when you find that hidden gem, it's all worth it. Right now is a great time to go check out the clearance racks, the seasons are changing and the clearance racks are abundant so go stock up on sandals, shorts and tees for next year! Grab a few staple items that you can add to your fall wardrobe, sometimes you just have to be a little creative and you'll find items that will work all year long! And dont forget to venture to the backsides of end-caps around the stores, that's where all the good clearance items for their departments will usually be found. Just a little insight from one Target fanatic to another.
