New-s to Me!

Yesterday was my 6 week post partum checkup, and before baby boy and I even left the house, I was feeling pretty spunky. The day before I had gone out to buy some new sunglasses, the large round frames:



After watching talk show clip about how to spruce up your look as a new mom, I paired my look with a bright red lipstick and matching blush.



I was so happy when my boyfriend complemented me over dinner with a "You look nice, babe." I guess it had been a while since I'd put in the effort, understandably.

Now I'm ready to keep it going. I've gotten some new skin care products- feeling pretty dry and still attempting to reduce these stretch marks- and some new lip colors. Now I just need to find a hair stylist in the area; My boyfriend also helped me start removing these braids and I will undoubtedly need a fresh wash, blow, flat iron and trim, but in my new hood. I was also cleared by the doctor to begin my exercise routine. The boyfriend is also going on his two week paternity leave starting next week, so I think it's the perfect time to start feeling like me again with fresh workouts, colorful lips and a girl's night at our local beer distributor's restaurant, since I have yet to try any of their 100+ flavors thanks to pregnancy. Haha!

No, really. Here's to feeling like new...here's to me!
