Theres nothing more fun than a challenge for me.

Its been me personally saying, I’m not going to buy maternity clothes.

Perhaps its her impending motherhood that has turned dressing and her glamorous beauty routine into particularly celebratory acts?

Whatever her strategy or secret maternity style sauce, I needed answers.

How has pregnancy impacted your beauty routine?

I definitely have been paying more attention to the amount of moisture that I have on my skin.

That has helped me to revive my skin.

I go through so many jars of that.

That’s been a big thing for me.

So, how would you describe your maternity style?

So I challenged myself to push it further and really just have fun with [maternity style].

Because there’s nothing more fun than a challenge for me.

Like that’s where I get creative.

That’s where I’m forced to come up with new ideas and new ways to make it work.

Have you learned any styling lessons you think youll carry over even after your pregnancy?

And now I don’t want it to end.

So I’m looking forward to being creative in that [stage] as well.

The Y2K aesthetic is taking over beauty as well as fashion.

Is there a specific throwback beauty trend youre loving right now?

Thesilver eyelinerIm wearing right now is very Y2K!

Its definitely where Im at with beauty as well.

I love that era.

How are you mentally preparing for motherhood?

I’m trying not to overthink it.

I’m trying to embrace the journey as it comes, because there’s so much unknown.

And, today is already enough for me to deal with, right?

Everything that seems simple is such a task right now, so I’m just going to go step-by-step.

And it’s not like I could run from any of what’s to come.

When I’m faced with it, I’m going to handle it like I know best.

The one thing Ive learned the most during pregnancy is no one can truly prepare you.

You just have to embrace the journey.

What are you most excited about?

Are you kidding me?

I got all the 3D scans and ultrasounds, and I cant wait to meet them.

And, you know, the diapers and whatnot will follow.
