I am loving Navy blue nail polish. Its the classic version of Gothic black nails. Perfect for any occasion, this color is bold and sexy.

In love with Boyfriend bikinis by Hanes

Hanes has me hooked!
I discovered Hanes Premium "boyfriend" cotton bikinis today and I am never going back to anything else. They are the perfect fit and make me feel sexy at the same time. No wedgies are a big plus!!!!! Plus lets also not forget the wide band that seems to keep them up but not pull you in as to create the muffin top effect.
They sit low in the front with full coverage in the back. The cotton is super soft and comes in fun simple patterns.
I am a huge fan of the gray so I picked up the 3 pack. White, striped with gray and gray.
They were about $6 or $8 bucks and totally worth it.
Target carries them in tons of great colors for the season. AMAZING!!!!!

Living your dreams without fear

So I have been inspired by this fantastic book called Linchpin by Seth Godin.
Its a remarkable piece of writing, inspiring and daily I think of quotes from it.

Today's quote
"If you are deliberately trying to create a future that is safe, you will willfully ignore the future that is likely."

Today that quote bounced around bringing back potent memories. One such thought was becoming a mom. I told myself "its never gonna happen" I feared that I wouldn't be able to live out my own dreams.

You too may have said that once not just about parenthood but maybe a dream that you never followed through on. You know just that moment I'm talking about, when you had the chance but you let fear take over.

For so long I pushed that parenthood path aside. The world around me seemed scary and filled with bad people. I worried about bringing a kid into this mess, the things that might happen to him. Then we changed ( not the world ) we decided not to fear the unknown and went for it.
In the days after he was born all my worries were amplified. As he grew day after day, bump after seemingly tragic boo boo. I began to see how strong a child I already had. I knew that if he could survive the falls he could survive anything. I let go of many of my nonsense fears for things I had no control over and daily I try to do my best to give him a full and meaningful life.

I hope to never instill the fear of failure in him so that he can grow up taking on the world and challenging it. I'm not bringing up a child who is entitled, I am bring up a child who is indispensable. Hoping he will share his gifts for the greater good and raising a man who will make a positive difference in the world one day.

Finial thoughts : Taking a chance and not living in fear was life changing. My life is nothing I set out for it to be. Its way better. Don't let fear stand in the way of life....and if you fail try try again XOXO

It’s bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Styles won’t arrive until Nov. 13, but we have a sneak peek of Gwen Stefani‘s upcoming Harajuku Mini collection for Target.

The retailer has released the first official photo featuring the pop star (and mom-of-two!) with an adorable little girl modeling an outfit from the line. And everything is beyond cute!

“Harajuku Mini is a dream come true,” Stefani, 41, told WWD. ”I’ve always wanted to do a cool children’s fashion line inspired by the supercute and playful kid’s clothing you find in Japan.”

Available in sizes 6 months to 16Y, the collection will range from $4 to $30.

And it will include everything from graphic tees and zip-up hoodies to tutu skirts and ballet flats.

“Target has given me the creative freedom to design kid’s clothing that is different than most anything you usually see out there with great quality, attention to detail and most of all, available at amazing prices,” Stefani said.
