Mario Party

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles does an easy family costume with a Mario Party family costume with overalls and Amazon Princess Peach dress

Happy Friday eve ya’ll and the Friday before Halloween! I am excited Halloween is on a Saturday this year even if we aren’t doing anything crazy! We are going to a trunk or treat at a Farm tomorrow and then I am having a little family party on Saturday with a bunch of fun Halloween foods! We may trick or treat to a few neighbors that we know too. It should be fun! I had the hardest time deciding on our family Halloween costume this year since I wanted something relatively easy. We decided on Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach! Griffin already had the overalls from a previous costume so all we needed for him was a tee and hat. I couldn’t find a small enough Mario hat for Sawyer so I just ordered them both hats from Amazon and ironed on the Mario and Luigi symbols that I made with my cricut. I found Sawyer’s little overalls from Old Navy and tee from Amazon. I also got my dress from Amazon. All and all a super easy, minimal effort costume that came out pretty cute! I hope you all have a happy Halloween! <3

Beauty and the Beast

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles doe a last minute DIY Beauty and the Beast costume with toddler beast costume and yellow maxi dress

Happy Hump Day babes! Only 3 days until Halloween! Today I have another DIY costume to do with your little one. Today Sawyer and I are dressing up as Belle and the Beast! Sawyer’s beast costume is actually a hand me down from my nephew (my niece and him were Beauty and the Beast for her birthday pictures, so cute!) and it fits Sawyer perfectly ha! How stinking cute is that little hood with the horns?! The yellow dress I am wearing is a maxi dress that I wore for our family pictures last year. I just did my hair like Belle with a top bun and added a pearl clip and then I finished the look with some red lips. Super simple! I hope you all have a great Wednesday! <3

Happy Monday babes! Can you believe it’s officially Halloween week!? Seriously where did this year go?! We are going to blink and Christmas will be here! Speaking of! Do you guys decorate for Christmas after Halloween or Thanksgiving? I have been debating this year! I use to be anti decorating early but I think 2020 needs some extra Holiday cheer!! Sawyer will be joining me on the blog all this week for some Halloween fun and I am so excited! How cute is my little Son of a Witch?! haha! I made this shirt on my Cricut and it came out so stinking cute! I had to dress the part and dressed up in some witchy gear I had in my closet. We threw on our matching Dr Martens (can you even at those mini boots?!?) to finish our witchy look! I hope you all have a fabulous start to your week! <3

You Better Shape Up

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles does a last minute mom and son Halloween costume as DIY Sandy and Danny from Grease

Happy Friday Eve! T-minus a week and 2 days until Halloween!! I have always been a huge fan of Halloween and LOVE to dress up, especially now that I have a little one! I thought it would be fun to style a different last minute Halloween costume for you and your little one up until Halloween! Oh and I won’t forget to show you this year’s family Halloween costume either! You can check out last year’s here! Today we are Sandy and Danny from Grease! This was such an easy costume to throw together since we had everything already in our closets! For my Sandy Costume I just took a black body suit and paired it with my Spanx leggings, then threw an old belt on over the top. I finished with some sexy heels and red lips! As for Sawyer’s mini Danny costume, he wore his leather jacket from his rock and roll birthday pictures (good thing is was big at the time), a white tee, blue jeans, and white Converses. Slicked his hair with a little bit of water and boom mini Danny Zuko! Do any of you have fun costumes planned for Halloween?! I hope you have a great weekend! <3

Fresh Faced

Thank you Neutrogena for sponsoring this post, all opinions are my own

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles does a Neutrogena Make up remover wipes review and talks about how it removes dirt and oil and cleans

Happy Wednesday loves! So I wanted to talk to you about a product that has been a total life saver for me during these hot Florida days (yep, it’s still hot here) and that’s the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes! Being a busy mom and running around with a toddler can get a little sweaty, especially when you have super oily skin like I do. Also the Florida humidity doesn’t help!

But what I love about the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes is they not only remove your makeup they also remove dirt, oil and bacteria! So it is like washing your face on the go without water! I use the fragrance-free versions because my skin is a little sensitive. These are gentle on my face but tough enough to wipe away all that other gunk.

During the week I usually just put a little eye makeup on so after I go to Sawyer’s swim classes with him and then play at the park later in the day I just take these out of my bag and give me face a quick wipe and my face feels so refreshed and clean! The best part, I don’t mess up my eye makeup like I would have if I washed my face in the sink! Then at the end of the day before jumping in the shower they also quickly remove all my eye makeup in a few swipes! Seriously a game changer! They are available at your local Walmart or you can add them to your next online pickup or delivery order! I hope you all have a fabulous week! <3

Happy Monday babes! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! We got away for the weekend and spent the day in one of our favorite cities, St Augustine. We haven’t been since December so it was so nice to to have a relaxing day there. And the weather was gorgeous!! Yesterday we headed to the pumpkin patch for some pictures and to pick out a pumpkin and Sawyer was not in the mood for pictures haha! Toddler life is getting real with him ha! So today I am styling a cute laid back fall look with my leather Bussola boots! I love how versatile these boots are! They seriously go with everything and are so comfy! They are also currently having a sale that is 20% off the fall collection and you can get an additional $10 off with code SJ10! I styled the boots with this adorable button up romper and denim jacket. I finished the look with a felt hat and bag. I hope you all have a great start to your week! <3

Dark Gingham

Shannon Jenkins of Upbeat Soles styles an edgy fall outfit with Target gingham dress, Dr Martens boots, and black woven hat

Happy Thursday! Who is ready for the weekend?! I for sure am! A trend I have been loving lately, especially for fall, is mixing girly and edgy elements. I just love the look of combat boots paired with a dress. It just gives off that effortless feel but also looks put together. When I saw this gingham dress from Target I knew it would be perfect paired with combat boots! Also mustard and black is basically the perfect color combo haha! Also I totally get Halloween vibes from this look and I am kind of loving it! I completed the look with a black hat and bag. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! <3

Whether you are starting holiday shopping super early or you want to get some great deals for yourself it is a great time to shop!
