The Launching of Shop Hello Pretties

It is finally here! The Launch of Shop Hello Pretties!

 

Ever since I have started my blog, I have always had a dream to add a clothing shop option. This is the year I decided to take the big leap. Although it is scary and I had no idea what I was doing I’m so glad I have moved forward and haven’t looked back.

I am so grateful for all the overwhelming support I have gotten. I had no idea I would have so many people message me, call me or come to the salon so excited for me.

I hope you all take a moment and watch this short launch video we made to help so many women who struggle with finding who they are. If only we could see ourselves how our kids see us or even how others see us. So many times I have been so worried about how I look (Body image, bad hair day, or my disabilities) but just remember.. every single one of you is so beautiful and you have so much to offer. This video makes me cry because it is so powerful. I talk about something so personal that I never ever thought I would share. My goal is to help even one person to feel better about themselves and have the confidence they need and deserve. Please take a moment of your time to check it out. You can also view my shop at Shophellopretties.com

This video was made by the extremely talented Devry Reeder.

How to get through the Pregnancy Blues

 

Okay so first off there is no cure. Also, I love this beautiful thing your body does and I know so many girls would give anything to be pregnant, so I don’t want this to come off as being ungrateful because I love love having new babies in the house, I love being pregnant and how much joy I receive from it. It really is the best.

Now that I have completed this journey I really had a hard time the last few weeks, not only physically on my body but mentally it was getting harder and harder each day.

Here are some things that I have been doing to get through these blues and hard times.

Spray Tans

Yes, you are probably thinking this is the dumbest and most narcissistic thing in the universe, but trust me you will feel so much better looking at your growing mutilated body in the mirror. When I wasn’t pregnant I got them and they were fun and stuff but being pregnant and getting them I am a hot babe! It is like a foundation for your body, it covers up so much of your stretch marks and even makes your tight belly have a nice glow. Trust me it will make you feel so good, especially if you are a pasty white girl like me. Read more

Mary had a little lamb and she cut off its tail for its own good

Yes, I know the title sounds a little brutal but this is real life. I grew up with a dairy farmer dad who had started a little farm at our house. One year we decided to change it up a little bit from steers and get lambs. We had lots of cute little lambs and I instantly fell in love with them. I even picked out my own lamb that was all white and I named her “Angel.” I loved her and I would pick her up and carry her all the time.

One day I remember going outside to visit my sweet little lamb and as I walked to the barn I looked on the ground and I could see little tails that had fallen off of the lambs all over everywhere. I was so sad. I felt horrible for these lambs and I was so mad that my dad had done this. I knew he was putting rubber bands on their tails but I had no idea that it would do that. Read more
