Maybe She’s Born With It

January 1, 2017 By Shannon Bird Leave a Comment

A big thanks to Maybelline®️ for sponsoring this post, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I hope everyone had a fabulous time bringing in the new year! Lets make 2017 great and a year worth remembering. I have so much to look forward too this year. My heart is turned to cherishing this precious time of being a mother to three, almost four impressionable babies. I want to live in the moment along with capturing it so I never forget the memories made this year.

Whether you stayed at home, or partied the year away on the dance floor. One thing is for sure, we all want to remember 2016, if you don’t believe me look at instagram 🙂 while welcoming 2017 by putting our best face forward.

This year I wore Maybelline products for my NYE look, as I brought in the new year at a nearby hotel surrounded by extended family, husband and children. We spent most of our time ice skating, elf camp at the hotel, swimming, going out to eat, reminiscing on 2016, and making goals for 2017.

I want to quickly make mention and shine some light on a few of my favorite Maybelline products I tried while perfecting my perfect NYE look.

Maybellines master precise liquid ink pen eye liner was a fun one for me as I am not someone who wears eyeliner. I’ve always been intimidated at my patients level and steady hand, the applicator made it very easy to apply. I even went ahead and gave myself a little cat eye 🙂 So if you are a beginner like moi, I recommend giving it a try.

I also really liked Maybellines colossal big shot mascara. What I found unique about this particular mascara is the brush. It is has very wavy bristles that cradle your lashes that gives you maximum volume, even just one coat will do.

Maybelline New York’s The 24karat nudes palette is timeless. Whether you are awesome at applying and blending colors or just like to apply a little color to your lids, you can easily create the perfect smokey with this kit.

Let me know if you have anything specific you would like me to post about for the upcoming new year 🙂

NutriBullet LEAN™ 7-Day Transformation Plan With Shannon

December 15, 2016 By Shannon Bird 56 Comments

Have you ever bought something new and wanted the whole world to know about it? Well, today I am having one of those moments. I want all of you to have the same fabulous experience as I did with my new NutriBullet LEAN™ blender. They offer two plans: the 7-Day Transformation Plan to help you jump start your weight loss, or if you want to maintain your hard earned goals and keep your results you can do what I did and do the Maintenance Mode. I wanted to just maintain a clean, healthy lifestyle over the holidays and NutriBullet LEAN helped me accomplish this, but for those looking to shed pounds and inches, the 7-Day Transformation Plan is a great way to do so.

Your body will love it, and there will be so much to love about the results. I’ve done the maintenance mode plan for 10 days now and I not only maintaining my weight, but I started to feel lighter and more energized. Although I wasn’t trying to lose weight, I did lose 2.5lbs of fat and felt a significant difference in my muscle tone.

When I started this challenge I was at my ideal weight. However, I was excited to make healthy diet changes and avoid the weight gain yo-yo I always experience during the holidays and winter. So with the help of the NutriBullet LEAN™ maintenance mode plan I hope to keep my results I have worked so hard to get but have always struggled to maintain.

Here’s a breakdown of the plan and what I have been doing to improve my body the last 10 days: I’ve been having 2 satisfying smoothies for breakfast and lunch, a balanced meal for dinner, and 2 snacks, each day. It was super simple and ultra rewarding. I highly recommend trying the NutriBullet LEAN™ maintenance mode plan for those of you who want to maintain their weight or the 7-Day Transformation Plan if you want to drop pounds and inches.

I really loved a set plan with a set number of days. It isn’t a diet, it is now my new lifestyle and best of all I do not feel like I am starving myself while on the plan, so I know my body isn’t going into starvation mode storing and holding onto fats. I immediately felt and saw extra improvements that came from taking this plan and know all of you will too.

If you have followed me throughout the years you, you already know that I am a big believer in drinking my calories. And is what I do and have done to lose 90 lbs after giving birth to three children in three years. Drinking two smoothies a day is the best and fastest way to transform your body, and because of it I have a better body today than pre-babies.

I want everyone to feel their best, for the best upcoming year! You can purchase your own NutriBullet LEAN™ and receive 25% off the price just by using the code LIVE LEAN.

New season, new sports. Just because the season has changed doesn’t mean we can’t still have fun enjoying the great outdoors. Along with new sports, comes new equipment, which is why I shop at Sierra Trading Post. They carry top brands at affordable prices all day, every day. “Save more, do more” is what I always say.

Above I have shown some items that I own, along with some items that I would love to try, such as the snowshoes. I think snowshoeing would be super fun to get into with my family. It would be a great form of exercise, a fun way to explore the mountain trails, and a way to get outside more.

These are items I obviously would like for myself, but Sierra Trading Post carries more than just items for women. They carry a wide variety and great selection for men, women, and children. After all aren’t we all explorers?!?

The Gift Of Giving

December 8, 2016 By Shannon Bird 1 Comment

This holiday season, I’m swapping gifts with another blogger who loves to stay on top of the latest fashion trends for eBay’s holiday gift exchange. I’ve partnered with eBay to create this post! Enjoy!

hunter boots // burberry scarf // apple watch // kate spade laptop bag // white roller skates // kate spade yellow tote // rose gold michael kors watch // blue beach cruiser // new balance shoes // tablet

A couple of us bloggers are participating in eBay’s secret holiday gift exchange and the only information I have on my partner is a short description. Based off the description, we are a lot alike, so it has been super fun and pretty easy as I have picked out items I would like.

As someone who is into the latest of fashion, the highest of technology, and loves to have fun, eBay has been my one-stop-shop, and where I have been doing all my brainstorming on what to give. Another reason I came to eBay is because the world’s top brands sell new items on eBay at amazing prices.

I’m happy to report that I have finally narrowed down what I am going to give to my secret blogger. I am going to send the Kate Spade Laptop Bag. It covers both tech and fashion, I also love that I can buy it now, it’s quick and easy, no bidding required.

It has been so fun thinking of what someone else, who I’ve never met, would want. It’s taken some thought, but thanks to eBay not a lot of my time. I wonder what a blogger based off my description will gift me 🙂 I can’t wait! Don’t you just love Christmas?!?

Mom’s New Best Friend

December 6, 2016 By Shannon Bird Leave a Comment

my red dress (shein) / leather jacket (andrew marc) / white sunglasses (banana republic) / black nikes (nordstrom) / black choker (forever 21) / avent bottle (phillips event ) / hollands sweater (crew cuts) / pink joggers (joyfolie) / britons burberry sweater (nordstrom) / khaki pants (peek) / blue sneakers (sperry)

18 months later and I am still not ready to say goodbye to breastfeeding. But that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy some freedom once in a while. Thanks to our new best friend, the bottle.

Lately we have started the weening process by incorporating bottles throughout the day. I’m trying to slowly reduce my milk supply to avoid mastitis. This being Briton’s first bottle experience I went with the bottles I used for Holland, when I pumped for her exclusively when I had bells palsy and she had a hard time latching onto me and gaining weight (we later found out she was both tongue and lip tied). I found most success with Avent Anti-colic bottles.

I also love how I can switch out the nipple to a sippy cup. We are using the nipple for now because it is so close to nursing. This is another reason I had Holland on the Avent anti-colic bottles, because she could simply latch with out the nipple collapsing on her. She didn’t get any unwanted air in her stomach and she never burped after feeding, so she went to bed without a fuss.

Below I have shared actress and new mom Sarah Chalke first child experience with colic and how she’s trusting Philips Avent to ensure the best feeding experience for her new daughter, Frankie.

Every baby is unique whether it be colic, lip tied, tongue tied, hard to ween, etc. We as moms can all agree we want our babies to feel comfort and have an enjoyable feeding experience, because when baby feeds well everyone sleeps well 🙂
