One week out from hosting Justin’s 50th birthday d One week out from hosting Justin’s 50th birthday dinner and emceeing Hammers & Heels, so today officially kicked off my beauty marathon.

Started with a facial at The Ritual Co., and yes, I’m here for the glow… but honestly, the real win was an uninterrupted hour to sit still, be taken care of, and fully relax.
Learning to love your body isn’t a linear journey Learning to love your body isn’t a linear journey and it often doesn’t have a clear and definitive end. I’ve worked for the better part of a decade on my relationship with my body. I’ve done a lot of work. I’ve honored her, encouraged her, I’ve chosen to see her as good. It’s been an intentional journey to really break down and know my body is good, just as it it. 

But just when I think I have evolved past being critical of myself I go to try on swimsuits and boom I’m back. This past weekend I went to try on swimsuits. It was a last minute decision and I just popped in a store. I talked to an associate and realized she was picking things and putting them into a fitting room for me. I could feel my pulse starting to race. Initially I was frustrated with myself for feeling insecure about trying on suits but then I remembered that this is a journey. I politely told the sales associate that I just didn’t think I was ready to try on. In the kindest way she said, it’s fine, I’ll mark some things down and when you feel ready just come back. 

I’m telling you this story because sometimes it’s easy to look at people who share their lives online and think they some how have mastered living themselves in a way that you can never achieve. The truth is that for many people it’s something we still struggle with from time to time.

Just remind yourself that like most things in life there is no medal for being the most secure person in the room. Give yourself grace and just repeat after me, my body is good just as it is.

First, try things. You are going to be stuck if you always go with a comfortable formula. 

Second, if YOU think YOU look good then go with it. You don’t need someone else seal of approval.

I know everyone on the planet is obsessed with Spanx Faux Leather Leggings. I want to love them but I just cannot spend over $100 on leggings.

Side Note. I did put them on my Christmas list. I like to get less things for Christmas but items I normally would not purchase for myself so the SPANX leggings are perfect for that. I just wanted to make sure you know I am not totally against owning them I just wouldn’t buy them for myself.

But since I try to keep under a certain price point on the blog I thought I would try out a few other brands and give you my thoughts on a few of my favorites. All of these are under $60 (LOFT will offer them on sale but full price is $69.50)…

Ava and Viv – Faux Leather Ponte Leggings. These are the leggings I am wearing in my pics. I really like that they fit more like a pant than a legging. They are comfortable and really cute and I feel comfortable tucking my shirt in the front of them. Retail for $27.99.

Yummie. This brand boasts being the same quality in shapewear as SPANX at a lower price point. I have tried several of their leggings out and really love them. They have a good secure fit and look really nice on your body. Plus they are so warm! These leggings were at the top of the price point at $59.

LOFT – Black Faux Leather Leggings. I got these leggings last year and they are still some of my favorites. They are thick and lined and if you are looking for a really warm option these are perfect. They are also available in three different fits; Regular / Petite / Plus. These leggings retail for $69.50 but LOFT is always running sales so you can easily get them for 50% off.

Chic Soul. My ladies brining the fashion to all of our plus sized bodies. I love the leather leggings I have gotten from Chic Soul. They are not as thick as some of the others so if you are looking for something that won’t be hot, hello Louisiana winter, these are probably the ones for you. They have several different styles; Slide into the weekend – Wanna Dance All Night – Going Groovy Leggings
