This apparently applies to dudes who strike a "nice balance between a beer gut and working out". Also, a dadbod is a guy who is "not incredibly chiseled, but at the same time, is not unhealthy." For a visual example, see Chris Pratt early Parks and Recreation days, and of course, Leonardo DiCaprio. Just like the college sophomore who coined this term, and I believe, majority of ladies our there, I am 100% all for the appreciation of the Dadbod. My husband is a young and healthy Dadbod, and I always reassure him that he's never looked better, haha. 

But what of us moms whose bodies have forever changed post-partum? The term "mombod" eventually happened as well, and the interwebs were flooded with gorgeous, glorious bodies of women showing off their tiger stripes, baby bellies, and just how their bodies have changed since delivering their precious ones. I, of course, let out a huge solo whoop -- I just love how times are quickly changing and people are more accepting and less body-shaming! I looked at old photos of myself, being all skinny and everything, and while I probably could never restore a few "elements" back (a stomach without tiger stripes!) , I did pop out a living, breathing human, and that is the greatest feat anyone could ever say they've accomplished. My baby is seven months going in now, and it still never ceases to amaze me how he evolved from a union of cells to how he is now... and yes, my body was responsible for that nurturing. So yay, mommies!

So here I am, in an outfit post lauding my new body. I'm still several  pounds over my pre-baby weight, but it's not the end of the world. Own the changes, live it, and love it.

Just wanted to quickly share the outfit posts the hubby took during my first meetup with Bjorn Manila when he visited Cebu for KalsadaPH. Really glad to have hung out with Bjorn during his short two-day stay- I never had the chance to chat him up during my Bloggers United visits, so it was really great to note how down-to-earth and easygoing he was in real life. Will post more details about our hang + Cebuano subjects for KalsadaPH soon!

As you might have noticed, I'm all about easy, casual dressing as of late (and I mean a lot more casual, a lot easier) Since I'm traveling here and there a lot these days, I want items that are as basic as they come but still pack some sort of edge and personality. The sportswear trend is something I'm gravitating to a lot lately-- it's fun, fuss-free and it makes me feel a degree younger haha. Mucho thanks to Chicnova for sending this jersey-inspired shirt and earrings in-- quite trendy, I know, but still simple enough to wear as a regular staple.

Make sure to check out their super on trend and reasonably priced selections!
