So, I’m a huge fan of “America’s Next Top Model”. I love the behind scenes aspect and I’m not gonna lie, sometimes the drama is just too good to pass up. My favorite thing is seeing the photographs turn out at the end of the show. And a big part of that is usually done by Nigel Barker. I just recently saw a trailer for a new show (okay, maybe it’s in it’s second season and I’m just totally unaware) called “The Face” with Naomi Campbell and the handsome brit himself! WHAT?!?! That doesn’t seem right that he would go and do another show exactly like ANTM with another famous model. I would really like to know what Tyra has to say about this and if anyone else has comments or thoughts they’d like to share.

The following is an actual conversation that happened at my last doctor visit…

Nurse: I have to ask, do you workout?

Me: Uh…yup, I walk.

Nurse: How often do you walk?

Me: Nevermind. Don’t put that.

Yeah, I haven’t been active very much lately, unless you count moving my spoon from the ice cream container to my mouth repetitively. I was looking back at pictures from the beginning of last year and yearning to exercise. And yes, for all you nay-sayers, I know it is possible to work out during pregnancy, I just can’t get my butt in gear lately and I seriously pulled a muscle “jogging” a mere ten feet with my five-year-old, so I’m a little wary to do anything. *sigh* Only two more months or so and then I can get moving again. But for now, I’ll just build my arm muscles up with my specialized spoon to mouth exercises. 😉

Dress Your Best During Pregnancy

1. Belts are your best friend.

Some maternity shirts or dresses don’t have darts or are hemmed so that they are tapered around the bust area. This results in a “tent-like” top. To avoid this, belt your top above the belly. This can be done with a belt or even a pretty ribbon. (continue reading…)
