Beach Mom Bod

March 8th is International Women's Day so let's talk about our Mom Bods!!

Motherhood has changed my body in ways I can't even describe. I wasn't exactly supermodel skinny or Instagram swimsuit perfect but I use to look pretty decent in a two piece pre-baby.

Now I struggle to find any swimwear to fit this Mom Bod and anything I do find is pretty boring. #1 concern are my stretch marks (Aka my tiger stripes) and mommy tummy (Aka spare tire, which is worse than love handles).


I'll be honest, I use to buy Walmart swimwear when it went on sale for $5 a top or bottom. With a bang body, any bikini top or bottom would look good. 

Now that my body has changed these styles feel comfortable


I found this tank suit from Winners (#WinnersFabFind) for $16.99! I didn't think I would like such a revealing bottom but surprisingly this style made my mom bod look pretty good.

I have a love hate relationship with La Vieen Rose. Quality is so-so, styles are modest and over priced but amazing when they go on sale. The off the shoulder style really draws attention away from my midsection. The Tankini top just helps me hide my midsection and more family friendly for public swimming pools.

Styles I'm considering

Right now Zaful is having a Women's Day Special and maybe of my top picks above are on sale! Who doesn't love a Womens Day Deals ??? I love how these styles are chic and still able to cover my mommy tummy. As I stated in my previous post, it's important to use the size converter and order the right size when ordering from overseas!

All swimwear is on sale at Aerie all under $40, great price point! Now I know that Aerie by American Eagle is meant for a younger demographic BUT there is no shame in just going up a size to find the right fit! I go straight for L when I shop at Aerie.

I can dream right? I might need to work out to look good in these styles and maybe a bigger bank account.

Happy Zaful Women's Day !!!!

Zaful Surprise!

I can't believe how fast my package arrived! It only took 3 weeks from China to Canada! I'm super surprised and super impressed! 3 weeks ago I posted Valentine Day Kiss and after many hours on Zaful, I ended up ordering these three beauties.

My 2 Cents:


First impression after I opened my package - WOW the dresses are individually packaged in really nice resealable bags! My mommy mind is thinking "The bags are really well made, great quality. I can reuse these for T (My son) wet clothes (Aka when he has accidents)!"

Second impression - I'm not just saying this because I was sponsored by Zaful but the material quality blew me away. The materials are soft and colours are vibrant, very similar to Anthropology quality. 


At first I was a bit scared to order clothing from China - We've all read the Buzzfeed horror stories about ordering from China BUT my experience was completely different. Below are comparison shots of what arrive and what was advertised on their site. I received EXACTLY what I ordered and couldn't be happier, maybe I just got lucky? Would I order from Zaful again? Hell yes!

I'm normally Medium/size 6 in Canadian clothing stores but I knew the clothes were coming from China so I went a size up to Large. The dresses do fit but are just a tad snug. I do like my clothing loose fitting so I think next time I would order an XL. It's important to note that clothing sizes in China are VERY different from North American sizing. A small in China is about an XS/XXS in North America, so that's just something to be aware of when ordering online.
