I feel like I answer the same questions over and over, which is fine! I just wanted to put them all in a post for you to refer back to!
These are some of the questions I get most on a daily basis.
Let me know if you have any others!

What activity tracker do you wear?
I have an Apple Watch Series 2, 38mm. I don't have a screen protector on it and yes, I absolutely LOVE IT! It can get wet, track steps, track activity, calorie burn, etc.
What makeup products are your favorite?
Blush -
Foundation-
I have 2 favorites. I like it Cosmetics Confidence in a Compact (I wear Light in the winter and Medium in the summer), and Ashley Sievert Mineral Velvet Cream (I wear color Paris in the winter and LA mixed with Paris in the summer).
Mascara-
Do you have your eyebrows microbladed?
Yes I do! I went to Christine Rodriguez at Lashes by Christine in Frisco, Tx. She's awesome!
I had them done about 2-3 years ago and I need a touch up, but they've held up great!
What self tanner do you use?
I use Loving Tan. I got the 2 Hour Express Dark and it's awesome!
DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT USING THIS WITHOUT A MIT! It WILL stain your hands!
What are your favorite seasonings?
I LOVE Tacticalories Carving House. It is my favorite seasoning I've ever found!
I put it on meat, veggies, eggs, you name it! It is so flavorful!
Casey's seasonings are all really good!

How often do you workout? What do you do?
I am currently working out 5-6 times a week. I have gotten to the point in my life where it is a NORMAL part of my day. I don't look at it like punishment, but as something I need to help me feel good!
I am spinning 4-5 times a week, lifting 2-3 times a week and getting in walks/runs a few times a week as well.
What do you do for a living?
I actually do a few things to bring in income. I am an Independent Advocare Distributor, I do social media marketing, I work with brands to promote their products via social media, I sell shirts and merchandise, and I've got a few other things in the works as well!
Most importantly, I am flexible. I get to work from home, be very present in my kids lives and make a living by doing what I love. :)
What is your skincare regimen?
I have had 4 laser skin treatments called mini fraxels in the past 2 years 1/2 years.
I went to Laura Harris at Regional Skin & Laser.
This is a laser procedure to help correct sun damage, skin resurfacing, correct melasma, acne scars, etc.
This has helped my skin TREMENDOUSLY over the past few years.
I also get Botox about every 6 months, (obviously not while pregnant).
Aside from that I maintain my results with ZO Medical products and DAILY sunscreen!
Do you still use your Peloton?
YES! I will admit, I do love a good spin class. It's the atmosphere I'm addicted to, but the Peloton is great when the boys are home or when I can't quite make it to the gym!
What is your daily AdvoCare regimen like now that you're pregnant?
I am drinking my Spark & Rehydrate mix every morning still.
This stuff saved my life in my first trimester. I would save it until the afternoon when the exhaustion would hit HARD!
Now I mix it up in the morning and sip on it throughout my workout.
Peaches and Cream Fiber because EVERY pregnant woman needs fiber, ifyaknowwhatimean.
Omegaplex and Coreplex with Iron are what I use as my prenatal vitamins. I love that they don't give me the nasty aftertaste that most prenatal do.
Catalyst before every workout.
Probiotic every day, twice a day, because I NEEDS IT!
Ready to drink Vanilla protein shakes and meal replacement shakes are my go to snacks.

Why do you eat Jasmine rice and not brown rice? I thought brown rice was healthier.
FOR ME, it comes down to Jasmine rice being easier to digest than brown rice.
People tend think that brown rice is "healthier" than white rice, but what they don't realize is how little of a nutritional difference Jasmine rice is to brown rice.
If you'd like more information, here is a great article on it:

Are you still going to get a tummy tuck after the baby is born?
This is still up in the air. Obviously, I will need the baby to be a bit older if I decide to, due to the fact that I won't be able to hold him for awhile. So if I DO, it probably won't be for a few years.
How has your diet been since becoming pregnant?
I am eating pretty mindfully (minus around the holidays where it was a dang free for all).
I'm eating lean meat, rice, veggies, avocados, eggs, toast, skim milk, pizza, tacos, Chiloso, Panera, fruit, etc.
Basically, I am just paying attention to what I eat, but not strictly by any means.
Everything in moderation. :)
What is your favorite dry shampoo?
I LOVE Dry Bar Detox
The key to dry shampoo is using it BEFORE your hair gets too oily! I start using my dry shampoo immediately on freshly washed and dried hair.
That way, I am using it as a preventative measure. I can get 4-5 days out of one wash!
Why do you not share your man with us?
For now, I prefer to keep my private life private. There may come a day when I feel comfortable sharing him with my social media, but for now, I like keeping that part of my life between him and I.
