I’m all dolled up, with a touch of makeup enhancing my natural beauty, wearing a soft fragrance of essential oils or buttercream.

The choice between the perfect shoes or going barefoot (if I’m at home).

Then there’s the stylish yet comfortable outfit that ties it all together.

This is my take on sexy these days.

Becoming a mother has been the most incredible experience BUT…

It has also brought about significant changes in my body.

My body is not the same.

I tell myself that every stretch mark, every scar, and every extra curve tells a unique story of the beautiful life I carried within me.

I am filled with a mixture of awe, love, and, even some lingering insecurities too.

This summer, after nearly two years, I dared to put on a two-piece bathing suit. I kept telling myself that maybe it wasn’t the right time.

I should wait until I’m really ready.

I should wait until I feel more confident.

I should wait until I reach a certain goal.
