It's time for some Five on Friday and since I'm getting close to "D-day" over here, I can't help but start thinking of life/body after baby!
{One}
I've read a lot of reviews about this and have been really intrigued by the process. I'm really hoping to get a jump start after this baby is born and work on good eating habits pretty quickly. I know this program takes some prep work, but it's so great at teach quantity control which will be great for me. I love that you get to eat a little from each food group and no doubt the hardest thing for me will be controlling the wine consumption!! At home workout videos are always nice to have on hand with a newborn too because it's hard to get to a gym when they first arrive!
Has anyone done a 21 day fix before? Please share your experience with me!!!
{Two}
Have you heard of the Belly Bandit before? I picked up one of these on Zulily after I already had Brody and it was too late for me to use after giving birth to him. So now I am excited to try with this baby. It helps get your tummy back a bit faster and I also like the idea of being able to use it underneath clothes to "smooth" things out a bit. I'll let ya'll know how it goes....
{Three}
I know you've heard me talk about the Blueprint Cleanse juices before, but I truly love them!! I don't always just use them as a cleanse (as I wouldn't do when I'm breastfeeding), but love them as a supplement to my day. The green juices makes me feel so good and they help keep things regular if you know what I mean!! They are offering $35 off of their 3 day cleanses right now through 9/14 with code CLEANSE35!
{Four}
Ya'll, I've always loved photography, but never really done much to learn more than my iPhone. I've had a DSLR for about 4 years and pretty much never used it for the first 2 years. I'm finally getting into it more and appreciating what better quality photos it takes. My friend let me do a little mini-photoshoot with her kids yesterday and I had the best time ever!!! And you know what?? I have this awesome program called Photoshop Lightroom to edit my photos, but I don't have a clue how to use it!!! I ended up using iPhone apps to do most of the editing. Does anyone use Lightroom??? What are your pointers?

I'm excited to introduce you to Brittany from The Lady Lawyer. She is one HofM's sponsors this month and a blog I've been following for the better part of this year! She's fairly new to the blog world, but is a Southern belle after my own heart. She's got great style (look for her link-up below) and loves a good recipe! I'll let her do the rest of the talking, but be sure to stop by her blog and say hello!!

Name/Age/Location
Hi! I'm Brittany and I blog at The Lady Lawyer! I'm 27 and I'm born and bred in the great state of Kentucky. I love my state and I promise if you like horses, beautiful landscapes, or bourbon you will too!
Family
My fiance and I are both lawyers and actually work together (sometimes it gets crazy people!).
We are both over the moon crazy for our two dogs Jax and Milo. These two angels bring so much joy to our lives that we almost forget about the incessant barking....almost.
Work
Obviously, I'm a lawyer. Like any job I have good days and bad days but I honestly think my job is perfectly suited for me. I practice mostly in personal injury and medical malpractice and it's fulfilling to know that all my hard work actually helps people.
Hobbies
I think I started a blog so I could have a hobby (haha!). Aside from blogging, I enjoy cooking, reading, and dreaming up travel plans. I value my friendships and love spending as much time as possible with my girlfriends.
Why I Blog
Sometimes, I wonder this myself. Blogging is very time consuming but at the end of the day I do it because I love it. I love crafting up new post ideas and sharing my experiences with whoever will read it. Mostly, I keep blogging because of the friendships I've developed. I've met so many wonderful and intelligent women through blogging. It's so satisfying to know that I could go pretty much anywhere in the country and be able to call upon a fellow blogger for recommendations or meet up for a drink!
What I Blog About
I try to only blog about things that I'm genuinely interested in and know at least a bit about. Every week I have a Work Week Chic feature that I love. This series focuses on showcasing stylish work outfits to get us all through the 9-5 monotony. On Instagram I post my daily work outfits under #MyOfficeChic. Please linkup your work outfits under the hashtag--I feature some weekly in my series :)
My blog also usually features a weekly recipe or cocktail.
Hope you enjoyed meeting Brittany (or getting to know her better) and have an awesome weekend!!!
