Lazy Day Love. 7.9.2017 {no idea where she found a paci. She hasn't used one in over a year.}

My mom made hard choices to be home with me and Carly as much as she could. She kept a car for basically ever, she worked as an actress, and balanced PTA president for Carly's entire schooling. She kept the balls in the air even when she probably felt like she was drowning.
When I was in middle school, she needed to start working at Wilhelmina. She headed their entire kids division single handedly. {Launching mega careers.} Her hours were long and intense, but she drove me to every dance rehearsal all weekend long. And took me to music studios during the week until 2am. She busted it to be there for every single moment. And give life to every dream of mine.
I will never understand how she did it. Ever. I am so grateful to live in 2017. A time where 70% of women who earn 6 figures in the United States do it with dreams and wifi: via network marketing. Giving me the opportunity to give Reegan that same attention, but with the flexibility to hustle in my own time.
My mom taught me to have something for myself. To be grateful to be born when and where you were born. To bust my ass. That 'impossible' is just a word that means try harder. And to never miss a moment.
With my mom's guidance, and the blessing to live in these flexible times, I'll honor whatever Reegan wants for her life, but I'm so grateful I can show her that the popular way is not the only way to live life.
And if you want something bad enough, there is always a way to have it all.

Was doing some returns and came across this simple dress for family photos on Sunday. (Yes, I'm testing how it sits in photos.) I love it, called my mom, sent her pictures and instantly started thinking about all the headshots and photoshoots I've done in my life. All the calls she's received about them. I have always sent pictures and talked about necklines and colors, but for the first time since I was 12, there was one thing missing from that conversation.
We didn't have to talk about my skin. At all.
She didn't ask how my skin was. I didn't even think about my skin while booking the dates. Whoa.
Over the years I have sobbed before auditions and photo shoots. I've apologized at bookings. Made up excuses. I've caked my face with makeup for meetings. Never secure enough to be casual. My foundation would force me to wear loads of eye makeup and lipstick so I wasn't washed out. It wasn't fun. I was never allowed to feel fresh faced. Until now.
For the first time in my life, I can just arrive as me... and focus on how it'll be 95 degrees and who will lose interest in family photos first, Reegan or Jeff.

A solid Saturday that started with a little bug house building. Thank you @homedepot! We had a great time.

Where I'm supposed to be...

I signed up for the skincare, but I'll be staying for the friendships, the empowerment, and the absolutely life changing moments. I can't imagine my life with out R+F. Customers. Teammates. Family. Something that started as a desperate attempt to change my skin morphed into a beautiful way to change my life. #forevergrateful #rfmasterybeachesretreat #rflife #clubcottet #rfnature

Jeff and Reegan wanted in on the fun. Jeff sent this to me captioned 'dewy fresh'... guess he is liking that hydration serum. 😂
