Happy Friday babes!! So happy it is finally the weekend!

Before I head out to decorate the venue I wanted to share a few of my recent purchases with you from Shein. I love love love Shein, seriously I always find the most incredible deals! The clothes are so adorable and the prices are fantastic, can not go wrong when shopping here! I did do a try on session on my instagram earlier too so that you can see how the items fit. To get to my instagram go to my homepage and click on the instagram link at the top. All size details will be shared below also. To shop the look you can either click on highlighted underlined item name below or scroll through the little widget at the bottom and click on the pictures, both will take you directly to the site to shop. Sorry guys, had to underline that last sentence because i’ve received so many questions about how to shop these looks, the items are hyperlinked for you 🙂 Have a great weekend!

Drop Shoulder Dip Hem Marled Knit Tee – Obsessed! This top is so adorable, I love this purple color for summer and fall. Comes in a yellow color as well. I purchased it in a size small and the fit is true to size. I love that the back is a little longer than the front so you get the cropped look. 50% off right now, only $8! Such a steal.
Drop Shoulder Frill Detail Dip Hem Tee – I love a good peplum top and this one does not disappoint! The fit is a little baggier than most peplum tops. I am wearing a size small, I think that I could have went with an XS for a tighter look and it would have fit just fine. So I recommend getting your normal size, however if you can easily switch between sizes and would like a tighter fit then size down one. Originally $23, on sale right now or $9!! Also, comes in a beautiful burgundy color that would be perfect for fall.
Light Grey Letter Print Sweatshirt – Absolute favorite purchase! This cute little Babe sweatshirt is so soft, cozy and perfect for those soon to be fall days! I love the tighter fit, wearing size small. Fits true to size, however if looking for a baggier look size up one. Only $10 and totally worth every penny!
Crisscross Front Textured Knit Top– This shirt just screams fall and I am loving it! From the adorable little criss cross at the top to the bell sleeves I just cant get enough! Wearing size small, fits TTS. On sale for $15!
Short Sleeve Striped T-Shirt – The best basic tee I have ever purchased. I love the fit of this tee so much!! I am wearing size XS, fits TTS. If you are looking for a baggier look again you can size up. This tee is only $10 and is so perfect for any season. Looks great on its own or under a cardigan.

Lavender Surplice Sweater: Shein Love the color of this sweater, so adorable! Currently on sale for $21. Sizing is one size fits all, which is always a little scary when buying these items, however I really do think this sweater would fit a ton of different body shapes. I am usually a size xs/s depending on the store and this sweater fits great. I would recommend if you are my size to put a cute little tank under the sweater because the cut is very low. The sleeve are also decently long, which I actually prefer because I love rolling my sleeves. This sweater is great for fall and is a perfect dupe for the #nsale sweater that everyone was raving about.

A Whiter & Brighter Smile with Avistar

Review of the Avistar activated charcoal powder and mouthwash.

Distressed Denim Shorts: Express | Black & White Peplum Top: Old Navy, currently out of stock, similar style top can be found here | Faux Pearl Stud Earrings: Shein

What is the first thing you notice when you meet someone? For me, it is always their SMILE! A big bright white smile goes a long way in today’s world. Honestly, I am crazy when it comes to my smile, I am always making sure my teeth look fantastic. Brushing multiple times per day, flossing, mouth-washing, you name it! That is why I was so excited to team up with Avistar and try out their Activated Charcoal Powder and Mouthwash. I had been wanting to try out these types of products for some time now but never found the right ones to purchase. I am so happy that I tried Avistar. Let me tell you guys, this stuff is good! I have been using the products for a few days now and my teeth look and feel amazing! So clean and bright, I just love it.

So, in order to use the powder, just wet your toothbrush, dab it in the powder and then brush your teeth for one to two minutes. Simple!! You can use toothpaste with it as well, I chose not to mix them together. I just brush my teeth after using the powder to get them extra clean before bed. Side note, this stuff is tough, I mean it is basically doing a deep clean on your teeth, so be careful brushing along your gum line. I brushed my gums a little too hard the first night and they were sore the next day. Other than that little mishap on my part this stuff is great. My teeth feel so clean and they look much brighter now. The mouthwash is pretty amazing too! It has this very minty flavor, which I totally love!! Makes my breathe taste and smell so good. It is so important to take great care of your teeth, using these products has been so beneficial to my smile. Definitely would recommend giving it a try. See if you love it as much as I do. Can’t be unhappy when you have a big bright smile on your face!

Obsessed with this outfit from Shein.com! I have been ordering a lot of things from here lately and have been loving how cute the clothes are. The prices are cheap and the quality is surprisingly good. This is my first ever pair of paper bag shorts and I am so happy I jumped on the band wagon and purchased a pair. I love the fit, I am wearing a size small, they do run TTS. The tie in the front is adorable. I promise the shorts look a lot cuter when they aren’t wrinkly, oops! I didn’t notice how wrinkly they were until I saw these pics… but hey they are still so adorable. This style of shorts does come in 3 other colors, all perfect for summer. They pair perfectly with this ruffle trim tank that I also recently purchased from Shein. I’m sure you’ve seen this tank before on the blog, probably because I am obsessed with it.

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We had such a good day playing outside, swimming and of course eating a ton of food. Beckham is a little daredevil always keeping us on our toes. He’s not even two yet and loves to run and jump off the driving board. Pretty sure my heart stops every time he does it. He’s getting so big so fast, I swear no one ever warned me how fast time goes by after you have kids. Every time I come home from work he has learned a million new things, wishing time would slow down a little bit. My husband bought him his first bike yesterday, it is so cute trying to teach him how to pedal. He’s not really sure how it works but I’m sure he’ll catch on any minute and i’ll be running down the street trying to catch him. Do you guys feel like time flies so fast once you have kids too? Honestly, when I was in high school I never felt like time was flying by me. Anyway, have to hop off of here and make dinner. Leave a comment below and let me know what fun things you and your family did for the 4th!
