Its not a pregnancy test! I promise;)
Volumize That Hair
Let me show you what Volume in your hair looks like;)! I have always had straight hair with zero VOLUME! I would tease my hair or back comb, but its so damaging to your hair and breaks it! I have found the best solution for you! This thing that looks like a pregnancy test it's not! It's a hair volumizing iron, all you have to do is plug it in and i love that there is a lock button and a temperature button. I love that its pink and it looks like a crimper as well, besides a pregnancy test, lol. This hair volumizing iron comes with amazing alligator clips that are different than the normal ones. The @voloom also comes with a brush/ comb and a guide;) The alligator clips are used to pull your hair up while putting volume in your hair. Section it to give all your hair volume and crimp at the roots! I promise it works!
Check my results below! Youtube video on how to use it coming soon!

National Strawberry Ice-Cream Day
I know what you’re thinking.. So dumb! National strawberry ice cream day?! Let me tell you my little girl had the biggest smile on her face when I told her we were going to get ice cream due to these holidays! She was so excited to go get herself some ice cream. What kid doesn’t like sugar? This day made for a fun time with my girl and became our favorite tradition! Even when you think these national holidays are the dumbest. Remember you can put a smile on your child’s face and make it a tradition;)
With all that being said happy national holidays!! They’re fun and creative!

Stuck In The 80'S
Happy weekend!
My husband Ryan spoke at some schools and what better outfit to wear than this one! A blazer with BELL sleeves, that’s my jam! I’m sold on how I can wear this blazer! Dress it up or down, even wear chucks with it;) I was feeling some 80’s look that makes me feel some sort of way! I’m an 80’s baby and I love the happiness and all colorful clothes. Back when everyone was happy and there wasn’t so much hate in the world, because you wore bell bottoms;) I could live on bell bottoms and bell sleeves for the rest of my life!
How the 80's looked like! Laughing is the best medicine!
Get this look @shopdmfashion! Get your 80'S on!!!

Rodan + Fields
Hello everybody!
I hope you had an amazing weekend! Here in Utah, the weather is amazing for January! I have been anxious to tell you about this new skincare line that I’m using. The skincare line is called Rodan and Fields. I have enjoyed everything about it! I also had a professional video done by @camille_call and it will be up on my YouTube channel soon! Stay tuned! I’m about to come up with some fun and exciting things! I hope you all will follow me and give me tips and pointers.
Back to the skincare line.. This stuff has made a world of a difference on my face! My pores are a lot smaller, my breakouts are minimal, I look younger, and any scars or sun spots I had are going away!!! You guys really need to look into this! There are a few different lines for different types of skin. I recommend you going on https://jslye.myrandf.com/Pages/OurProducts/GetAdvice/SolutionsTool to do a free skin consultation, it will give you the line you should be using. Mine was the blue one which is called “Redefine” it’s for fine lines and wrinkles. There are four easy steps to use. I also got the “roller” which comes with a roller cleaner and night time serum. Those of you who have tried it do you just want to bite on the blue plastic pill the serum is in? I’m not even joking right now! Below will be the steps on how to use it!
1.Cleanser: wet fingers, use quarter size amount on the entire face, and rinse. (Avoid eyes)
2.Toner: apply with gauze on the entire face (Avoid eyes)
3.Roller: roll 4-10 times on each part of your face. Only at night. (Avoid eyes)
4.Intense Renewing Serum. Use at night only after roller.
5.AM/PM moisturizer: apply dime size amount on the entire face. (Avoid eyes)

A Man In A Tie
Today’s blog post is on how you characterize someone by what they wear.
A man in a tie shows character, hard working, and curiosity. My husband is very handsome man that strives for the best in his life and ours. He never loses sight of his dreams and goals. I’ve never met anyone so determined and ready to hit any opportunity that comes his way! I also see him look for opportunities daily. Don’t we all wish to be successful and grind on a daily? Sometimes I feel so tired and want to quit! I do let negativity or the feeling of nothing working out in my success at times. In my opinion that is normal. We all feel like we need a break or wish things just fell in our lap. I mean I do! I’ll be the first to say I fall and get back up. I’m thankful for my husband @ryanstream that helps me get back up and doesn’t give me the “poor me”. I do feel the “Poor me” attitude kick in and i want him to feel bad for me, but instead he lifts me up and motivates me to reach for the stars!
I’ll be the first to say I tend to judge a person by what they’re wearing. I don’t believe it’s always a good thing, because you never know what they’re going through etc. You get me right? Dressing nice or wearing fine jewelry isn’t a must, but I always think wow they must have money or they have a good job. When someone is dressed down and a little frumpy do we stop and think maybe they can’t afford the nicer clothes? Or maybe they’re struggling? Or living on the streets? I mean we never know why the reason for some people’s fashion is. I also know some people like to dress down and it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re poor or trashy. I have learned to not judge a book by its cover. We need to lift people up and help people out! It’s easy to judge a person by what they wear, but we also need to realize not all of us have the same style;)
This tie has the star symbol for service. I love that this tie shop makes ties for the military men and show thanks. I love the colors and meaning of this tie! You can also custom get any country flag you'd like on your tie in different colors and sizes. Missionaries can put the country or state they served at. This makes a great stuffing stuffer or gift for your missionaries, soldiers, all who serve, and those that just love ties! Check out @statesmanties.

Trolls Need A Drink Too
Here we're with Poppy the Troll riding dirty on her scooter;) How adorable is Nix!? She's brave, talented, and fast learner, with lots of personality! I have learned "no fear" game with her. She's honestly not super afraid to try new things and keep trying until she gets it. These last two weeks, she has learned to ride a bike without training wheels and ride her portable scooter that goes 15 miles per hour. I could never learn all of this, specially in just two weeks! Im afraid and when I try, I certainly can't get things in a day or two, it takes me weeks if that months! With all of that being said, she has learned with falls and crying, but i kid you not she gets it within 3o min of her daddy teaching her. I'm so impressed and proud mom! Check out a video of her learning on my Fb page @elizabethstreamblog;) YOU won't want to miss!
We took Nix to the skate park and her poppy helmet kills me! She learned how to ride down small ramps with no fear! She took some breaks and used her @twistshakebaby sip cup! If you're thirsty grab a drink;) These sip cups have been my absolute favorite! No spills and easy to pack and put fruit inside. They come with a lid and a mixer. I love the colors they offer! We now have three cups from them. Were obsessed to say the least;)
Check out @twistshakebaby for their selection and they make great stuffing stuffers or gifts! Use code "elizabethstream30" for 30-40% off your purchase!

Nature At It's Finest
How many of you love to travel and be outdoors? Are you more of an indoor person? Either way that’s ok;) we all have fun memorable things from being each person. I myself isn’t against neither! I love to be outdoors and explore when I have the chance. I love Utah for its beautiful mountains and so much to see. Everywhere I go has beauty! All places look so different, even though there is still mountains. I have the privilege to travel with my husband when he speaks. This was a cute little town with such nice people. They have cut little cabins as a (motel stay). I couldn’t get over how adorable those cabins were. Every place has something unique about them. That’s what makes each town so special.
This choker keyhole velvet top made it to Arizona and back to Utah. I got compliments left and right. It’s super soft, lose, and comfy. I wore a black tank under neath, because it seemed a little low for my liking. Dress it up or down! Both ways look super cute!
Check out @theredclosetshop for the latest fashion! This top I’m wearing is a big hit! Get your gifts for the holidays;) They have affordable prices! Lots of super cute stuff!

Traveling Like It's Going Out Of Style
Traveling like it’s going out of style! I didn't want to come home! My family and I had so much fun! My girls were in heaven and my husband and I enjoyed ourselves and each others company.
My trip to Arizona was amazing guys! I just have to show you the scenery! On our way we stopped at the “Horseshoe Bend” we had to hike about a mile to get to see it. Which means we got our work out in for the day;) the water looked so clear from our view! The pictures we took were breath taking! Ryan sat on the edge of a cliff and had me take pictures. Can I just say I was dying of anxiety! I thought he was going to fall 1000 feet down!! My girls had a blast! If you go and you have a baby take a baby carrier they’re heaven! We carried her in it the whole trip! Then we went to Lake Powell (Wahweap) how amazing! The water is so blue and clear! The views are gorgeous! The rocks and mountains are breath taking! We get in free, since my husband is military;) can we just have a house boat out there and live there during the summer? I wish!! The weather in November is amazing and warm! The water is starting to get chili, but still the scenery, so nice!
Ryan had the privilege to speak at three high schools one in Arizona (is why we went) Kanab high, and Paige high. All of those were small towns and cute as can be! They really do have the best scenery and things to do. The places we went to are so unique, fun, and kid friendly! We had dinner on Kanab at a cute restaurant on main, so so good! Y’all need to try it if you drive by there. I believe it’s the only restaurant in that town:) Paige is so cute and little with nice people and cute cabins for hotel stay.
About this front knotted top with a long back, it's perfect with leggings or jeans! I can’t get enough of how comfortable and cute it is! Dress it up or down! I love the color! Go check out @theredclosetshop and get yours! I hiked with this top to The Horseshoe Bend! I loved how comfortable and lose it was to hike in. I wore it with jeans and some nikes and it still looked cute;)

Jealousy or Happiness
Hello world!
A lot has been going through my mind about being proud of others success or being jealous of others success. I have found that when you find something you love, are good at, and you work so hard for people will always hate. The more people that like your success the more people hate. I’m here to say that I have been feeling a bit down over friends, family, or acquaintances feeling “jealousy” possibly. The vibes I get or rude comments have been said about mine and my husbands success... Like you shouldn’t do that, or that’s not a good idea, or that’s not good enough. Not everyone hates or is jealous by any means. I just want to state that jealousy over people succeeding at something they love and are good at, is real. People are here to watch one fail. Why? You may ask yourself.. One they’re not doing anything to succeed at something they’ve wanted to do and two they’re making every excuse on why they can’t achieve their goal. Sad to say, but it’s usually family and close friends that will want to watch one fail.
Keep going and achieve your goals. You will most likely lose good friends and family along the way. Most likely you will have people bring you down. That should be more motivating to keep going! We can do this! Let’s watch people succeed rather than fail!
I’m so proud of my husbands success. It can be hard to take crap from people and he just keep going! He keeps getting better and better at speaking. @ryanstream.
Last but not least how cute is this adorable heart dress!? Yes, I love to piece things with different prints;) these booties got me like.. rocking the print on print look;) Check out @theredclosetshop. Guess what? This dress has pockets!! What dress isn't complete with pockets? None, because pockets are the cherry on top! They have cute stuff and so affordable! I wore this outfit In Arizona while my husband spoke at one of the high schools. I had compliments left and right on how I put two prints together;) Don't be afraid to dress you and be you! I believe that our outfits make who we are.
I've received so many messages and compliments on my Cheetah print booties. Thank y'all so much! Link is below;) Thanks for the love! Enjoy!

For The Ones Who Put Their Name On The Line
Happy Veterans Day!
I salute the people who let our freedom ring. As most of you know I’m an army wife. That’s all I’ve known my entire marriage. My husband, Ryan Stream joined at a very young age, by the age of 17, he and his parents signed, since he was still under age. Ryan loves to serve this country and others. The military has taught him discipline, work ethic skills, and knowing how blessed he is to live in the U.S. I believe that most of us take life for granted at times. In reality we don’t know how hard other countries have it.
Ryan, has deployed to Afganistán twice both times were for a year. His first deployment was with the 118th Sapper Co. The second time was with the 624th Engineer Co. I cannot thank these service men and women enough for the sacrifice leaving their family and risking their lives. Some of these men don’t make it home. I can’t stress enough on how hard it is for the spouses and family of these brave men and women. We suffer at home knowing our soldier is in a war zone.
Ryan missed the birth of our first born child, Nixeon Dru Stream. We Skyped the birth and while delivering this beautiful girl, all we could hear is bombs going off and shooting. What scary and stressful moments it was for all of us at home, specially as I’m delivering. I’m honored to be Ryan’s wife. I have been able to learn much and see much, because of him.
First time meeting! Precious Moment!
Please take your time to thank these brave men and women today. Without them we wouldn’t be enjoying our freedom. Thanks for the support everyone!
Xoxo

Plaids and Vests= Fall
Hello everyone!!
I hope your week has been good to you;) I had a fun eventful week last week going to Arizona and sight seeing some of the most gorgeous places. I will have to tell you all about it and ideas on where to stop on your way to Arizona. I have so many pictures to show you! Stay tuned!
I just have to show you the cutest outfit perfect for fall and really for any other seasons. Plaids and vests become the latest fashion for cooler weather. I don’t mind that at all;) Those two items can be worn together or styled in so many ways separately. I got them from @wildroandesign. She’s a small town girl from where my husband grew up. I love working and supporting small businesses from small towns. Small towns have a special place in my heart! Everyone is so generous and wants to help each other out in any sort of situation. She carries the cutest clothes for such a good price!
Did I mention she’s crazy talented and makes a ton of leather jewelry!? Anything you want she can most likely make! She has made a few fringe necklaces and leather bangles for me in the past. I’m so obsessed with her jewelry! Check her out on instagram @wildroandesign or her site squareup.com/store/wild-roan-design.

Love Your Body
Love your body!
I have been pondering this topic for a while now. As most of you know I had a baby five months ago. Well before this second pregnancy I was able to get back in good shape, look, and feel good about myself. I worked hard for my results and good health. For a while now i have been looking back at pictures and comparing myself to my old self after one child. I tell myself I don’t look good, I need to be the person I was a year ago, I need the toning back, and I need my strength back. Well I’m here to say that I finally realized after all of these months that I gave life to a miracle and I’m taking life for granted. The reason why is, because i was blessed to have children, and have two beautiful healthy girls. That right there has been my inspiration everyday! I have been loving myself again and trying not to compare myself to the old me and to others. I’m working hard again to be where I want to be to feel good. I know it’s going to take time and I can do hard things. After comparing myself to other women and my old self I have finally realized how important it is to me to be proud of who I am today, and the lessons I have learned through out my fitness journey after two children. Love your body’s ladies! Cherish them forever, because we need them everyday to survive!
I'd love to hear what other women think and feel about this topic. I know I'm not the only one that feels this was. I spoke to an old friend who recently had a baby herself and is very fit and trying her best again.
These grey leggings are the most comfortable! Great for new moms! They’re high waist, soft, and stretchy! There are two different colors available grey and black. I love that @lalabubaby has top pouches available for both men and women to carry your baby;) check out their page! They have some unique gear!

Hammered Crescent Bar Necklace
Hello followers!
Today’s blog post is on the topic on why jewelry makes us feel better and looking like a million bucks! Lets face it, a woman's confidence and individuality are her best accessories. When purchasing jewelry invest in the pieces that will make you feel confident! Jewelry you wear is a true reflection of who you are. When it comes to fashion, it’s not always about the current trend, but rather creating your own personal style. Jewelry that has a special meaning to you or the one you buy it for will give you a sense of purpose. It will give you great satisfaction, fill you with warmth and truly communicate the power of love.
Since I was a little girl I loved jewelry! I had rings for all my fingers and all types of bracelets. The catchy thing about jewelry is the different types of silver and gold. I have always loved gold tones more. The reason for it Is, because it seems to match my personality and fashion more;) My parents are jewelry people as well. I remember my dad always getting me a new ring or bracelet every time he traveled away from home. I cherish those memories of my jewelry forever and I wear them on my sleeve. The rings may only fit as mid rings now, but they will forever have meaning.
This “Hammered Crescent Bar Necklace” is a dream come true! I’m able to adjust the length. It’s available @madebymarywithlove it comes in a smaller size. You can pick from different length sizes as to how long or how short you want it. I love that she also has the choice of picking the clamps and the choice of adding length just in case you want to make it shorter or longer:) Her jewelry is meaningful. You can get engraving on your piece as well as choosing the options they have available already. I loved pairing my necklace with other necklaces to have the layered look. Most of her pieces you can layer;)
Thanks for following my blog and social media posts!
Enjoy!

Body Scrubs Do The Body Good
Why body scrubs are good for your skin. I have always loved skin products. Since I was in high school I looked in to face products to keep my face clean and a way to get rid of acne. We all know hormones can cause bad break outs. Our bodies are maturing and changing through out our teen years and it’s safe to say that face/body products can help with break outs, exfoliating of skin, and softer skin. There are may different scents of these sugar scrubs. All options are good for different issues like cellulite, reducing of stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles, and more. I chose the cotton candy, because I love the way it smells! I use it in the shower to exfoliate my body, specially my feet;) my heels are cracked in the winter and it’s time to repair them. Hollis Sugar Scrubs come in different size jars. She puts them together so cute! She also makes bath bombs, also known as bath fizz. Message her for details on different scents and what each one can help with.
Body scrub is a popular body treatment that is basically a facial for the body: it exfoliates and hydrates your skin, leaving it smooth and soft. A body scrub is done with an abrasive material, usually sea salt or sugar mixed with some kind of massage oil and an aromatic like essential oils. The scrub is followed by an application of high quality lotion or cream that leaves your skin hydrated.

Classy in the front Party in the back
How about this top! Perfect for fall! The color of it, is as fall as it can get;) This top is lose, but I tied a knot to make it a bit tighter. I love both looks knot or not;) I love that it’s long enough to cover my bum, if I’m wanting to wear leggings with it. I love how it shows the shoulders and the back is cross cross! I know some of you wear garments and you can just wear a cap sleeve top underneath and it still looks darling! This shirt is true to size. I’m wearing a small and the fit is perfect! The material is cotton and stretchy. The sleeves are long enough that they go to my wrist.
Party in the back!
