The way you’re trying to lose weight is wrong

Being uncomfortable in your own body is the worst.

You deny invites to parties.

Start avoiding any reflective windows or mirrors.

And just want to wallow in your stretchy, comfort workout clothes all day.

With all those setbacks, you start feeling like you can’t do it

Stylish Mom Outfits: Where you can Find Them (and actually enjoy shopping with your kids!)

Being a mom is hard work. We’re usually running from drop-off to pick-up and catching all the errands in between. Yoga pants just seem like the easiest thing. But, wait! What if I told you that fashion doesn’t have to be uncomfortable and that it is easy to feel good about what you wear. You need to find an Evereve!

Winter Small Wardrobe Essentials

When you have kids and are a professional, you need a winter small wardrobe that does double duty.

I used to get really stressed out at the thought of everything I had to buy to straddle these two lives. I want to look professional in my work, but I also don’t want to look like a bum on the weekends.

What to do?

You make sure you have these in your closet.
