I could not have asked for a better person to help

I could not have asked for a better person to help make my wedding dreams come true! Ashley is one-of-a-kind and truly so creative.

She turned my mom’s wedding dress from the 80’s into a modern kimono that I wore while getting ready on my wedding day. I will cherish it forever and hopefully pass it down someday. I would recommend Ashley to anyone for alteration needs and for fun fashionable pieces!

So yesterday I was having a bad day, mentally, emo

So yesterday I was having a bad day, mentally, emotionally, and was exhausted when I saw "The Post." The post meaning when I freaked out at myself for showing “my baby belly” & immediately deleted the post. Like many of our brides and clients, I was tired, stressed, had not had a good day & the last thing I wanted was to see a “bad” pic of me on the internet. But honestly why should I have cared? As I hear clients says day and day out:

“Well maybe I can just buy some Spanx”
“Maybe I can just do a cleanse.”
“All I need is to loose my (x) spot of fat.”

No! NO ONE needs to do that. And honestly no one is going to notice what our own harsh critical eyes see. Me, in that moment being a prime example, of my own nitpicky vision. I deleted the post allowing the potential internet trolls to get to my head, i immediately regretted the deletion, as this was the time to be vulnerable, but for a split second I didn't want to deal with my own vulnerability.

As we all know we, women, especially, have been told -for more decades than we like to admit- by the media, how we “should look”, but does anyone ever ask us how we “ should feel?” Mentally? Emotionally? Physically? No, no they do not. Maybe your best friend asks? If you have a fabulous friend like that high five to you two! @Colleen Bordeaux

Today in my mid 30s I feel stronger- which I am, and quick shout out to @newleaflifestyle.co for your help guiding me and baby through a safe and healthy pregnancy without losing our physical strength -and more confident now than I ever have in my life. I may not be the weight I was in my mid 20s, but my body just grew a baby- it was gentle and kind enough to grow, nourish and love another human into our world. Post baby, I can do more push-ups than ever before, run faster than i have in the past in addition to my mental state surviving a pandemic! I mean that all is a miracle.
