Is it just me or does this dress scream 'summer'? I love this this easy, breezy sleeveless shirt dress. I find even though it's a loose fit; the elastic waist band gives the dress a beautiful shape and is flattering for the body, not to mention how comfortable it is! Instead of doing a neutral shoe like I normally would (because of the bright colour) I decided to pair it with leopard print pumps! I absolutely love this colour and leopard print together. The shoes are Ivanka Trump and I actually got them from Town Shoe for $80.00!! I couldn’t find them online but if you visit a Town Shoe store it's possible they will have them.

Have a beYOUtiful day lovelies!

IM SPORTING THE TURQUOISE ETERNITY BRACELET WHICH IS MY CURRENT FAVE!

Fashion Looks better when you feel good on the inside

SHOP THIS LOOK: TOP, (ON SALE $35 SORRY ONLY AVAILABLE AT ZARA STORES) LEGGINGS, SHOES (LOOK-A-LIKE BUT ON SALE FOR $30 AT ZARA STORES), BRACELET ONE, BRACELET TWO (FOR KINSLEY ARMELLE. USE CODE BEYOUTIFULSTEPH15OFF TO GET YOUR DISCOUNT!), WATCH (LOOK-A-LIKE), WALLET

 What if I told you that how you dress can have a positive affect on not only your attitude but also your self-confidence? Believe it or not, how people dress is related in some way to how they are feeling. Think of a time when you didn’t feel well,  whether you were sick or just overly exhausted, did you take the time to really put together a great outfit? Or did you just want to reach for those PJ's, throw your hair up and call it a day? I'm going to say you probably were super tempted to reach for those PJ's. When we feel well dressed and feel we look good we automatically feel better.  Have you ever put on an outfit that you feel really good in and notice that you felt a little bit of a confidence boost? When we feel good in what we are wearing we are more likely to feel good inside, have more energy and treat others better. At the end of the day a healthy personal image of yourself comes from within, but a great outfit and a good hair day can definitely help the cause!

 SHOP THIS LOOK: TOP (on sale!), PANTS, SHOES (on sale for $55!), WATCH, BRACELET STACK (Use code BEYOUTIFULSTEPH15OFF to get 15% off your entire purchase!)

I am absolutely in-love with these high waisted pleated wide leg pants! (that's a mouth full..lol) They are perfect in so many ways and are probably the most comfortable pants I currently own! Yes, that includes my lululemon's, which we can all agree are pretty darn comfortable. There is something about wide leg pants that is so flattering for the body. Because these are a wide leg pant, I paired it with a fitted neutral color top to balance the outfit out, and then chose my bow tie shoes (My fave!), which add elegance to the outfit. The outfit it super simple and comfortable, yet super chic and elegant. it's perfect for work, dinner or if you wanted to go casual, wear a cute flat sandal instead. Complete outfit details under the picture below!

Full body Workout

Calling all my fitness freaks! I haven't done a 'workout of the day' post in a while so I thought I was due to do one. To be honest with you all that's probably because the gym hasn't exactly been my number one priority lately. I have had so much going on, which I'm not complaining about at all but because of my busy schedule the gym has taken a bit of a back seat. I'm not saying I haven't been going, I'm just saying that my workouts haven't been as long or intense as they normally are. This isn't exactly a bad thing either, sometimes our bodies need periods of times where our workouts aren't as intense or frequent. Plus because it's summer I've been staying active outdoors to make up for the lack of gym time! With all that being said I did manage to make it to the gym last night and I did this awesome full body workout!

Finding a healthy relationship with food

 SHOP THIS LOOK: TOP (look-a-like), JEANS, SHOES (look-a-like), WATCH, RING, NECKLACE, BRACELETS (Kinsley Armelle! Use my code BEYOUTIFULSTEPH15OFF to get 15% off your entire purchase)

There’s a fine line between thinking carefully about what we put into our bodies and obsessing over it or restricting it dangerously. Finding a healthy relationship with food is tough for a lot of people, especially those who have or are suffering from an eating disorder. Being someone who has previously suffered years with anorexia and bulimia I know exactly how hard it can be to find that healthy balance and relationship with food, but having a healthy relationship with food is possible! So how do you establish a healthy relationship with food? Learn how to overcome the emotional power food has in your life. If you understand the triggers and temptations that prompt you to eat mindlessly the you will become aware of your patterns. in other words have self-awareness, you can begin to change your eating habits and work towards eating for physical reasons instead of emotional ones. Here are five steps that helped me get on track and hopefully they can help you too!

Here are some extra tips:

 Don't Diet: Bingeing might have made you gain weight, as it does for a lot of people. But trying to cut calories or not eating certain kinds of foods can cause overeating and that can make it harder for you to recover from the disorder. It can lead to a cycle of dieting and bingeing that’s hard to break. Stick to whole foods and allow yourself that occasional treat when you are craving.

Find Healthy Ways to Manage Stress: Many people binge because it makes them feel less stressed, at least in the short term. You might not be able to avoid stress, but you can practice healthy ways to relax. Exercise, meditation, or a phone call with a friend can soothe you and help ease the urge to overeat.

Make Regular Meals a Habit: Don’t skip meals. Being very hungry can make you more likely to overeat. It also ups the odds you’ll choose foods that are high in fat and sugar, which can trigger a binge. It’s important to eat breakfast every day, too. A morning meal can help curb hunger all day long. Choose healthy foods for meals and snacks. You’ll get nutrients that your body needs. You might also feel fewer cravings for unhealthy foods that make you want to overeat. Healthy choices include fruits, vegetables, and protein-rich foods like eggs, chicken breast, salmon, and Greek yogurt.

Seek Support: There is nothing wrong with seeking help from either your friends or family or even from professionals!

I'm not weird, I'm just a limited edition

TOP (look-a-like), LEATHER LEGGINGS, SHOES (on sale for $69.99), BAG OR THIS (look-a-likes because this one is no longer available #SORRY), SUNGLASSES (on sale for $49.99), WATCH 

Good morning peeps and happy 'pre-Friday'! Today on the blog I wanted to do something different. So I am sharing with you guys some weird/fun facts about me. You may or may not already know some of these or some of you may even notice just by my posts. Alright so here it goes!

#1: I only drink warm or hot water...Weird right? I cannot stand cold water! I don't know if it has something to do with brain freeze, or the simple fact that I hate feeling cold. The thought of drinking cold water just makes me feel cold!

 #2: I have this weird obsession with cute coffee mugs and water bottles. I literally go to Winners and Home Sense just to browse their mugs and water bottles. You may notice in A LOT of my pictures I'm probably holding a mug or water bottle, or it's somewhere in the background. I should start playing 'can you spot the mug or water bottle?' ahaha...

 #3: I have to sleep with socks on and wrapped up in a soft blanket. Yes i realize i'm 25 years old NOT 5 months old, lol... It gives me a sense of comfort and my room is always so cold, so I like to be all bundled up from head to toe!

#4: 99.9 % of the time I have oats for breakfast and the weird thing is I don't warm them up, like normal people do. I'm not a huge fan of the texture when oats are cooked.

 #5: In the mornings while i'm getting ready I put on Shania Twain and dance around my room. Ohh common...I bet 90% of you do the same thing at some point through out the day! I'm not the only weird one lol.

#6: I go through a packs of gum like nobodies business, I love gum! My favourite is the fruity kinds!

#7: When I eat an apple or pear I eat the ENTIRE thing, with the exception of the stem, and yes thats including the seeds and core. I owe this weird habit to my Dad...Thanks Dad! I saw him do it when I was little and ever since then I've done the same. No food goes to waste! ahaha... 

Well there you have it some fun/weirds facts about me. What are some fun/weird facts about you? Leave a comment below, I would love to hear!

Have a great day!
