My top tips for running/jogging while pregnant🤰🏻🏃🏽‍♀️ Just a few ways to stay extra comfortable + safe while staying on your running game (if you choose to) during pregnancy: 1️⃣ A strong supportive sports bra goes a long way for those new bigger boobs! 2️⃣ Make sure your running shoes are in good condition (6 months old or less). FYI we should ALL be changing up our running sneakers every 6 months-1 yr maximum! 3️⃣ Change your goals + expectations. You will most likely not be able to run a marathon right now. The goal is to feel good + get those endorphins flowing not to beat your fastest speeds. 4️⃣ Maintain neutral posture while running. This will really help your back + body aches throughout your pregnancy in all workouts you do (& life!) 5️⃣ If you feel any pelvic floor or abdominal discomfort stop immediately. You are not trying to run through pain! Listen to your body. 6️⃣ Hydrate, hydrate, HYDRATE! Before + after your run is a must. 7️⃣ Be aware of restrooms along your route (if there are any). I always have to pee literally as soon as I leave the house so I usually do a lap around, pee, and then head out on the real run 😂 8️⃣ HAVE FUN + ENJOY IT. If it’s not fun for you then please do not do it! Running for me during pregnancy makes me feel amazing just knowing that my bub is safe in my belly while I kickass and do what I love! So empowering. **Before you attempt a run please make sure you have been CLEARED by your doctor for exercise!! As well as running my other favorite prenatal workouts are barre, pilates, dance (specifically Zumba), boxing & lifting! Mamas + pregnant mamas what are some of your favorite workouts during pregnancy? Would love to hear! Xx 💪🏼 #18weeks #prenatalworkout #fitpregnancy #HealthyAlibi

We took David to the pumpkin patch today but when we got there the lines were insane & it was just so crowded we decided we weren’t comfortable going in. Luckily he is too young to understand where we were going or why we couldn’t go. We ended up at a beautiful park instead and it was honestly still a perfect day. At first I was sad that I wasn’t able to give him that experience of a pumpkin patch (& a cute baby photo) but then I realized, who cares? We had a great Sunday as a family, he was happy & we were happy and isn’t that all that really matters? Sometimes a little change of plans is just want you need to remind you about what’s important at the end of the day ❤️ #motherhood #family #HealthyAlibi

Does anyone else find that choosing a name for your little girl is SO much harder than choosing a boy name? My husband and I always lean more towards classic names rather than trendy but it’s definitely a challenge!! I don’t think I’ll be able to actually name her until she’s here in the world and I actually get to see her 😍 Would LOVE to hear some of your favorite girl names for some inspo!! Plsss share your faves below ☺️🎀🙏🏽 Happy Saturday my loves Xx #girlnames #bumpstyle #healthyalibi

STRESS!!! 😳 Did you know that stress manifests in the body? While a little stress can be healthy (yep it’s true!) chronic stress is not & can affect your nervous, cardiovascular & respiratory systems, to name a few. This weekend let’s dedicate our time and energy to slowing down and de-stressing. I’m sharing 5 things you can do when you’re feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed: 🌻 Get outside & go for a walk. Seriously even 10 minutes of a brisk walk can help clear your mind. Oh & I dare you to leave your phone at home! 🌻 Exercise. This is the one that helps me the most. If I’m ever feeling anxious, which I def do, I workout & get my endorphins pumping & blood flowing. 🌻 Meditate. This one took me a while & isn’t always easy for me but once I start I notice a weight lifting off my shoulders almost immediately. Meditation isn’t always sitting with your legs crossed, it’s about connecting with your breath & getting out of your head. 🌻 Do something you love- whether it’s cooking, reading or maybe an art project. Anything that truly makes you happy. 🌻 Put down your phone for a few hours & disconnect. Sometimes disconnecting is the only healthy way to actually reconnect, if that makes sense? I find disconnecting helps me to actually listen to my body + mind so learn to put down your phone on a regular basis & be present in whatever it is you’re doing. What do you do when you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed? Share your tips below 💕😊 #HealthyAlibi

Baby girl is the size of a sweet potato & is finally making her presence known! Felt my first little baby kicks last night 🥰👣 Sooo magical!✨ I forgot how amazing this feeling is it is literally the best feeling in the entire world 💕 Mamas when did you feel your first kicks with your bubs?? Share below!!😍 #18weeks #healthyalibi

Typical breakfast in the Q for me + D! 🍳🍅🥑🍞 I always try to sneak some extra nutrients in our eggs for an extra boost. We end up sharing most of our meals these days just because I always want what he’s having and he always wants what I’m having 😆 so I stopped making them separate and started sharing. When it comes to cooking for your little I recommend approaching it as relaxed and as least stressful as possible! Making for them what you would normally cook for yourself & your family and eating together if you are able for me is the best way to start the day. P.S in this pregnancy I have a newfound obsession with a simple butter & toast 😍 It is soo underrated! How are my mamas out there doing with feeding your littles? Would love to hear!

A little Monday reminder for anyone who needs to hear it: 🍁 It’s okay to slow down 🍁 It’s okay to skip a workout 🍁 It’s okay to disconnect 🍁 It’s okay to take a mental health day And please remember you are not alone 💕

Let’s talk about SAFE SKINCARE during pregnancy 🌸 There are an INSANE amount of products on the market with confusing, vague ingredients and they’re NOT all safe for pregnancy! I’m no beauty expert but I thought it would be helpful to list some ingredients that are safe and unsafe to lookout for. SAFE INGREDIENTS: 👍🏼 Azelaic Acid 👍🏼 Grapeseed oil 👍🏼 Hyaluronic Acid 👍🏼 Lactic acid 👍🏼 Niacinamide 👍🏼 Salicylic acid (safe in doses of 2% or less) 👍🏼 Titanium dioxide 👍🏼 Vitamin c 👍🏼 zinc oxide INGREDIENTS TO AVOID: 👎🏼 aluminum chloride 👎🏼 alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) & beta 👎🏼 hydroxy acids (BHAs) 👎🏼 benzoyl peroxide 👎🏼 Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) 👎🏼 Formaldehyde 👎🏼 Hydroquinone 👎🏼 Oxybenzone 👎🏼 Parabens and Phthalates 👎🏼 Retinoids 👎🏼 Thioglycolic acid If you’re at all confused about what skincare products are safe/unsafe I recommend making an appointment at the @thedetoxmarket in person or virtually or asking a dermatologist. When I found out I was pregnant I popped into the detox market and they helped guide me and answered all my Q’s. They also let me bring my products in to see what I could and could not use and when I had a skin reaction I worked with the ladies there to figure out which products were causing it. My skincare regimen is coming soon so stay tuned! Still fine tuning it for you guys but thought this ingredient list would be helpful in the meantime!🍃 What are some of your fave pregnancy safe skincare products?

Today is #worldmentalhealthday and I want to remind you that it’s impossible to tell from the outside what people are really going through. Let’s continue to spread love, caring & kindness into the world everyday. You are never alone no matter how life feels sometimes. Today, call your “strong” friend and ask them how they’re doing. Tonight practice a little self love by doing something for yourself. 2020 has been a lot. Self care isn’t selfish it’s a means for survival. Prioritize YOU, your healing & happiness matter 🙏🏽 #mentalhealthawareness #healthyalibi
