Weekend Getaway...

I don't know about you but with the pregnancy I haven't been the most social butterfly out there. Being in big crowds bothers me more than ever before! Well, let's be honest I have never been a big-crowd person but I could handle it here and there.  Now... not a chance! I can't stand being in a crowed city in the hot summer. Did I mention we live in New York City? What about... Did I mention we live in Midtown ? Yeah, a very crowed place. I have to say I am a very lucky gal. My friend David has a beautiful country house in up-state NY and he lets us stay there anytime we want. Isn't he so nice? I think so! Being able to go up-state is just fantastic. Everything tastes better. The fruit, the meat, the milk, literally everything. Breathing fresh air, waking up with the birds, having breakfast outdoors listening to cows( instead of cars and firetrucks) is my kind of getaway. If you are not that lucky of having a place to stay, don't worry they are many beautiful places to stay, enjoy the town and outdoor trails. My favorite town is Millerton, NY. Great Food, Antique stores and if you are into teas they have a big Harney and Sons shop.

My favorite Millerton Places:

 

Chilling at the pond / Having breakfast with the birds and the cows / Sunset dipping with the Beaver / Saving a baby turtle / My personal chef / Pond time   

Maternity Clothes

Some women refuse to buy Maternity clothes. I decided to go the other way. When we found out we were pregnant my husband said ... "we have to go shopping for maternity clothes" and I think if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't  rush on it. Let me tell you it was the best decision. They make the clothing so comfortable for you ! Also I think it helps you to feel sexy and beautiful embracing your new body. How Amazing it is that we are able to create a heart, arms, a brain, legs and more ? It is Crazy Amazing !!! I love the changes that my body is going trough inside and outside. I embrace it all and I also embrace changing my closet ! How fun is that ? You can resale it after or be ready for your second pregnancy !

Some of the goodies I purchase !!!

Here is a few brands I am using .

My First Pregnancy Gift

On Wednesday night I went to have dinner with my girlfriends Alex and Katie at a great Mexican restaurant   ... Have I ever told you that if you eat Mexican food once a week your life will be so much better ? No, I have not because it's my first post. But  if you know me, you know that I eat Mexican food once a week. Its true. Do it! It's a great way to have a FIESTA in your life. On another note  there we were talking about our biggest fears, like getting our feet so big and swollen, thinking about the hard process of loosing the baby weight and much more.  In the middle of dinner Alex takes out a bag filled with lots of goodies. My favorite one was Nine Naturals Shampoo and Conditioner. Citrus and Mint scent . They have that relaxing smell like a spa, so so good. Nine Naturals Products are for the pregnant women . I honestly think you should try this even if you are not pregnant it is for all hair types and is safe for color treated hair . They are 100% plant-based. NO Sulfates, Phthalates, Parabens or DEA = No harm for your baby and the best part they leave your hair so soft and shiny. This is such a good product and I recommended it. Especially because with this you are taking care of you and your baby. 

 

Thanks so much Alex and Katie ,xoxo
