Today is my 32nd birthday and if there’s anythin Today is my 32nd birthday and if there’s anything I’ve learned in my last year that I want to take with me into this year, it’s this:

I make my own magic 🪄

I am capable of creating, crafting, and designing this next chapter of life to be whatever I want. Infertility cannot stop me anymore. And I can’t wait.

Happy birthday to my ride-or-die and bff for life Happy birthday to my ride-or-die and bff for life @ericaligenza. To have her in your life means you have the most loyal, inspiring, and generous friend that you would ever ask for. I can’t believe that this little app brought us together (with our girl @blondeandambitiousblog) so many years ago. Grateful that they both turned out to be real people (lol) and women who have held me up during the hardest times of my adult life. 

Hope you have the best day, E! Counting down the days until we are together again! ❤️

We fix each other’s crowns instead of pointing o We fix each other’s crowns instead of pointing out they are crooked. 👑 

To the women to always have my back, who inspire me daily to level up, who cry with me, who cheer me on, who save a seat at the table for me, and who keep fighting the good fight - I love you. You keep my world vibrant, and keep me going on my hardest days. 

Happy International Women’s Day!

2021 felt like a dumpster fire that burned out of 2021 felt like a dumpster fire that burned out of control about 90% of the time. Between a cancer scare that resulted in countless scans and blood tests, failed infertility treatments that broke our hearts every time, no matter how much we tried not to get our hopes up, and then the devastating blow that I needed to have a total hysterectomy and thus ending any hopes we had of starting our family - I felt like my life and my hopes and my dreams for our future had been reduced to a pile of ash. 

It feels surreal, to be starting the new year feeling so grateful for where 2021 left me. For the first time in four years, I have energy, motivation, and can actually get out of bed without being in extreme pain. I can actually think beyond the next 24 hours and make plans that I can follow through on. My life doesn’t revolve around iron transfusions, cycle tracking, or the anxiety that comes with the two week wait. 

What’s been even more surreal is to be able to say that I have been finding more acceptance and purpose in our new childless future and life. If I can’t have the life I planned on, then I’m going to live the hell out of the life I have instead. Dustin and I are rebuilding our futures both separately and together, and for the first time in four years, I’m excited to see what comes next for us. I feel more steady in this new life and more sure of the path we’re on then ever before. 

For in order to rise from its own ashes, 
A phoenix must first burn. 

2021 burned me. 
So I’m 2022, I will rise.

Endlessly grateful for being 6 weeks post op from Endlessly grateful for being 6 weeks post op from my total hysterectomy and feeling more like myself than I have in over a year. And I’m endlessly grateful for this guy - who has been my rock through every doctor’s appointment, every procedure, and every day I couldn’t get out of bed. Not only that, he is the sweetest, most tender uncle to our nieces that I could ever hope or ask for to share our girls with.
Just grateful for my health and my love and the hope for better days.

I’m officially three weeks post hysterectomy tod I’m officially three weeks post hysterectomy today and was feeling well enough to shoot the holiday campaign photos for @shopmscb (with the help from my partner in crime, @kenzie_peach)

In fact, I told my surgeon last week at my first post-op appointment that I’m actually feeling the best I’ve felt ALL year. And I mean, that’s saying something since I was only two weeks post-op then, right? 

Even though the decision to go through with the hysterectomy felt impossibly hard to make, I know now that I made the right choice for me, my sanity, and my body. I feel more like me in the last week than I have in over a year. It’s like I’m waking up from a long, painful, dark hibernation and my world is starting to fill with vibrant colors again.

And even though I’m still sad it had to come to this, I am also feeling excited for what’s to come.

There’s been a little more laughter in our home There’s been a little more laughter in our home lately. Snuggles and kisses and staying up way too late watching Netflix. It’s like the worst is behind us and we’re on the other side of what we’ve been dreading and the darkness that has covered us for so long is starting to lift. It doesn’t mean we’re 100% okay, but we can feel the light and the hope for the future and we’re choosing to face it hand-in-hand, together. 

And every night, you whisper to me: “This isn’t your fault. You’re my best friend. I love you more today than ever before. We’re going to live a beautiful life together.” And every night, we grow a little bit closer and our hearts mend a little more, and I know deep in my bones, that we’re going to be okay.

I love you, Dustin.

Worth the Hype? BeBe & Bella Skincare

This post has been sponsored by the PRIMP Network. All opinions are my own

Worth the Hype? Bebe & Bella Skincare - get 20% off your order here: http://primp.in/Kw3hleP02N #ad #BeBeBellaPRIMP // Hey There, Chelsie

A few months ago, when I was in the midst of my major skin meltdown and not getting the results I wanted with just my skincare, I decided to try something different. I decided to cut out as much excess sugar as possible from my diet for two weeks and only drink water. I thought that maybe my skin issues went deeper than the surface and that maybe what I was putting into my body was contributing to the painful cystic spots I had all over my face.

Sure enough, after two weeks of no cookies, candy, and soda, my face started to clear up. I knew then that I needed to start taking better care of myself because my skin was a visual representation of how much disregard I was giving to my body. I also wanted to do some research into some skincare that targeted more than just topical solutions.

Worth the Hype? BeBe & Bella Skincare // Hey There, Chelsie

Introducing BeBe & Bella:

BeBe & Bella is an innovative skin care brand because their product go beyond just products you put on your skin. Their skin care line also includes probiotics, which enhance the skin’s protective moisture barrier and improves digestive health. Like I learned earlier this year, what I put in my body matters just as much as what I put on my skin.

What I tried: Probiotic Essentials Starter Kit

Worth the Hype? BeBe & Bella Skincare // Hey There, Chelsie

I was sent the Probiotic Essentials Starter Kit to try, which was a great way to really be introduced to all of the top BeBe & Bella products. The set included products that target fine lines, fade age spots and reduce inflammation. I also was sent two oral supplements, including the Skin Lightening Oral Supplement and the Collagen Pro Oral Supplement.

Probiotics, well-known for their benefits in balancing the digestive system, when applied topically also encourage faster cell turnover, enhance the skin’s protective moisture barrier, and reverse photodamage to the skin. I’ve never thought about adding probiotics into my skincare before, but after reading the WHY behind BeBe & Bella, it totally made sense! I was excited to try everything out.

The Process 

When I first got these products to try, I decided not to fully switch over in one night because I didn’t want my skin to have another meltdown. I slowly replaced each of my current products with one of the BeBe & Bella products through a week until I was strictly using the products on their own. Even though each product performed well on its own, I definitely noticed that I got better results once I was using the whole system together, as intended. There are a few products that definitely stood out to me while using this line.

My Favorites-

Facial Essence – I always get excited about essence-type products and this one did not disappoint. It was a very light-weight product but packs a punch in the active ingredients. This innovative formula helps increase the skin’s natural flora defenses, which helps reduce the loss of moisture.

Worth the Hype? BeBe & Bella Skincare // Hey There, Chelsie
Hydrating Night Cream – This probiotic cream was probably one my favorite product to use from the kit. I loved that this product delivered SO much hydration to my skin without making my face feel greasy or heavy with product. The cream literally melted into my skin! I knew that it was working wonders because my nose was super raw and dry from blowing it last week during my cold. Within two days of applying this cream both day and night, my skin had recovered and felt great!

Is it Worth the Hype?

I’ll be honest and say I’ve only been using this skin care line exclusively for two weeks, so I have yet to see any super life-changing results yet. That being said, my skin does feel very moisturized and it did not have the typical major freak out the day after I flew across the country to my sister’s wedding.

I love the idea of adding probiotics in to my skincare regimen and although I’m not a huge fan of taking actual pills, if the supplements continue to keep my skin clear, I’ll definitely take them. I’ve found that taking them at night before bed is the best way for me to get through them!

I think this skincare line is definitely worth the hype for anyone who has been trying traditional skincare lines to clear up problematic skin. The use of probiotics goes beyond the idea of just topical products and helps other parts of your body improve in order to promote better skin.

So, if you are interested in giving BeBe & Bella a try, you can take 20% off your order with the code  PRIMP20. 


I’d love to hear what your thoughts are on a probiotic skincare line and what product you would be interested in trying in the comments below!
