AMAZON (xs-2xl; I am in medium, my most typical size.)  At just over $30, this was the most affordable one I tried; it was not for me simply because my breastfeeding boobs were a little too heavy for it, so as you can see in the photo the line on the band was a bit dragged instead of straight. Other than that… great swimsuit for the price point! Love the bottoms. If I had a smaller chest I would probably keep it! FABLETICS (XS-4xl; I am in medium, my most typical size.)  $70; OR, $24 if you want to join as a VIP (you can cancel at any time so as not to pay the VIP fee.) Boobs felt ..read more

I don’t have much time to crank out this post before putting the boys down, so I’ll keep this short and sweet!  I ordered the brand new TA3 “waist-snatching” dress (they have several styles to choose from; I chose “Notchy“) to see if it was really worth the hype.  Spoiler alert: I’ll likely be buying this in more styles despite the not-super-low price tag, because it made my size G boobs and diastasis recti stomach feel incredibly supported AND made me feel like a million bucks. Discount Code: You can use code “fashionveggie” for 17% off their dresses and site-wide (including swimsui ..read more

Over the past few years, I’ve been asked a ton of questions about nursing bras!  And I always replied honestly that I had grabbed mine from Amazon & Target and they were cheap, ugly, and gave no support– but hey, they got the job done. Well… apparently there’s no time like the third & final baby to finally get my act together and research comfy, size-inclusive, actually-cute nursing bras! I went to Bella Bra Shop (offer A-O cups with 28-52 band size… amazing!) here in Dallas and got a lesson ALL the ins and outs of nursing bras.  I tried on approximately 10000 of them, and th ..read more

OK real talk… Upon hearing the name Princess Polly, one is like… Sooo, is this a clothing boutique for adults? It totally is, and I am on board!   I am so happy with the fit and quality of this brand, and I appreciate that they have ample plus size + sustainable options available. They gave us a discount code:  XOMOLLY. These are the looks and sizing details from my most recent tiktok video!  (excuse the janky photos below.. they are screen grabs from my videos) LOOK 1 black set (I’m in a m/l)– this is SO exceedingly comfy and sexy all at once!  Very soft, high end sweat ..read more

DISCLAIMER. I don’t think that health or treatment is one size fits all.  I think everyone reacts differently to medication. This is purely my experience, and has nothing to do with anyone else’s. A little background: I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was a kid.  I was put on every rx stimulant drug you can think of… And it helped! I stopped turning my homework in on crumpled construction paper instead of lined, I started remembering my books when I came to class, I stopped constantly having to go to detention.  The meds did made me paranoid and irritable at times, and when that ..read more

I know I’m a bit late to the Prime Day game,  but better late than never! I am going to cover 25 of my favorite Amazon sales items that I have personally bought, used, and loved. Enjoy the sales… You have until the end of the day to buy if you see something you need   40 oz tumbler mug (a great..in my opinion BETTER… alternative to the Stanley Cup mug) OR 50 oz tumbler mug (my precious!  What Matt & I use!) Bambody Period Panties (XS-6xl… size up. I recommend the 3 pack. Third party tested:  NO harmful PFAS!) These soft, ribbed kids PJs are the shizzz!  Th ..read more

Hello friends, I am trying to raise money for Everytown, an organization fighting to get reasonable gun regulations  in place to keep our kids safe.  So, I am donating 100% of my commissions to the organization until 2023, at which point we will reassess.  I feel super powerless, like many of you, but I’m hoping that this is one small thing we can all do to help. Some background:  I have never been an online creator  who makes a big bulk of my money from commissions, simply due to the fact that, relative to many other influencers, I’m not a huge product linker. a) Beca ..read more

*** Links below are affiliate.  This means that if you shop through one of my links, I earn a small commission.  All of my earned commissions are being donated to Everytown until 2023.   I have always heard great things about the brand Soma, but it had mostly been about their pajamas (evidently they’re magical but I have yet to try them!) and their bras.  I was super excited when I was invited to work with Casey (my girlfriend over at StreetsBeatsEats) to promote their swimwear!  I have had THE BEST experience with Soma. Their customer service has been fabulous. and I ..read more

As a somewhat out of the loop 38 year old mom, I am not always one for the hot new fashion trends– BUT, the recent athletic dresses craze has managed to get my attention.  While I’m by no means an athlete, I do love me some athleisure; and generally I am a fan of wearing one single piece of clothing on my entire body (in this case, an all-in-one bra/dress/built in shorts).  I am also attracted to the versatility of these dresses!  They seem appropriate + effortlessly cute for basically any daytime occasion, whether you’re at the playground, running errands, or headed to a lunch ..read more
