Finding the right health coverage through Washington Healthplanfinder

Post author By tiffany
Post date November 1, 2020

As much as I love working for myself there are a few things that come with owning your own business that are not so fun and finding your own health insurance plans is one of them!

I have spent so much time navigating different websites and insurance carriers to figure out what plans worked best for me as well as what worked with my budget. It was confusing, time consuming and not something that I enjoyed at all.

I am so happy to partner with Washington Healthplanfinder to share how it’s helped me out so much! I have used it for the past few years and highly recommend it for everyone who wants to find the best health coverage for themselves and their family. They make it easy to find, compare, and enroll in a health plan for how you’re living now.

I’ve worked for myself for 10 years now, and finding health coverage is something I have to deal with year after year. I’ve gone through so many life changes, from having two babies and other health issues. It’s really important to me to get the coverage that makes sense for whatever is going on in my life.

Finding the right Health Insurance Plans for Me and My family

When I discovered Washington Healthplanfinder, I was so excited that there was finally an easy way to find the information I needed to make a decision on my health coverage, all in one place!

Washington healthplanfinder – get your information all in one place

Washington Healthplanfinder has a network of customer support across Washington State to help you enroll in coverage that meets your needs and budget. They offer a wide range of resources to help people navigate their coverage options, including:

WAPlanfinder mobile app
In-person enrollment centers
Over the phone
With a virtual video call

Open enrollment for 2021 health plans starts November 1st through December 15^th for coverage that begins on January 1^st and I highly recommend getting started on this process early!

Get help choosing the right plan

Now that I have two little ones, staying healthy and fit is a huge priority of mine. My girls also love to work out with mommy and I love showing them that being active is not only important but fun too!

My husband and I do our best at staying healthy and active and keeping our kids healthy as well but having a health insurance plan that fits our needs is so important.

If you are unsure of what plan you need or what would work best for your financial situation, it’s so nice to be able to get help through Washington Healthplanfinder.

Navigating health plans can be so confusing, but then add in kids and making sure that you have the right coverage for them can be even more complicated! From health, dental to vision I want to make sure that I have all the information I need to make the best decision. I really appreciate that I can do all that on Washington Healthplanfinder.

The mobile app is so easy to use to find brokers near you and to get help enrolling in a health or dental plan. You can also find all your coverage information and even upload documents which makes it so easy!

It’s nice to have a resource like Washington Healthplanfinder to help make a confusing process a lot easier and less time consuming!

The best places to buy Stylish Petite Loungewear Sets

Post author By tiffany
Post date October 27, 2020

I’m all about being comfortable at home and I love a cute loungewear set as I feel like I can still be a bit stylish even if I am sitting at home 🙂

I’ve added quite a few loungewear sets to my wardrobe this year, as I’m sure many of you have too!

Read on for the best places to shop for stylish loungewear sets for petite women. Here’s what to look for and what to buy!

This post contains affiliate links. By using my links to shop I may receive a small commission. Thank you for your support!

My sizing: I know sizing is hard when shopping online so for reference, I am 5’2′ and a size XS or Petite S in tops and 0/2 or 25/26 in pants & jeans. Just so you know when I reference “true to size” below.

Where to buy Petite Loungewear Sets

There are quite a few stores that carry petite specific loungewear like pajamas, sweatpants and joggers in sizes XXS Petite to XL Petite. Here are the stores that you’ll want to check out.

Anthropologie carries petite sizing in a lot of their clothes and in fact have a whole petite section that you can shop. Although they carry tons of different brands everything that I bought there has been true to size for me.

Shop Anthropologie Petite

ASOS has a great selection petite clothes from dresses to loungewear. I find that ASOS runs small so size up especially if you are looking for a baggier fit.

Shop ASOS Petite

LOFT is always on my list of stores for petite sizing because I can always find a ton of things there that fit very well. I buy a lot from their Lou & Gray Petite line which is so soft and cozy.

Shop LOFT Petite

What kind of loungewear should I buy?

A lot of petite specific loungewear is great as it takes into consideration how long (or short) the hems are or how cropped the tops are. So while you are shopping, look for those things as well.

You’ll want to find pants that don’t drag on the ground and cropped is actually really great for petite women as it doesn’t overwhelm you.

Mix and match is always great, but I do love a monochrome or fully matched set because it helps you look taller!

Here are a few that I recently bought that aren’t petite specific sizing but fit well for me.

Matching Loungewear sets

Tie dye is still very much a huge trend into fall and I love this soft loungewear set.

Being petite, I often find that lounge pants tend to fit a bit too baggy for me so I started looking at shorts sets and love them!

When my legs get cold, I just pop on a pair of knee high socks but if you want to know the truth, I’m always covered in a blanket on the couch anyway so I’m rarely cold 🙂

shop matching loungewear set

This set comes in a few different prints and runs true to size. Here are a few more loungewear sets from Amazon

Below, I’m wearing this lips pajama set and it comes in a ton of colors and prints. I’m wearing the XS and it fits great. The hem is elastic and it fits around my ankles well.

Shop matching pajama set

Are you someone who goes from hot to cold and then cold to hot? I love this 3 piece set that comes with the tank, pants and long cardigan! It’s so chic and so comfortable!

shop 3 piece set

This loungewear set is quite possibly one of my favorite amazon purchases ever! The material is nice and thick and keeps you warm. The top is long enough to be worn like a tunic but it also looks great tucked in to the pants. You can even mix and match these pieces to other items in your wardrobe.

shop long sleeve loungewear set

Cozy for fall – pajamas and loungewear

I’m all about finding loungewear that not only looks cute but I’m comfortable sleeping in too. I’m quite picky about what I sleep in as I can’t stand being too hot or cold. This set is the perfect lightweight material.

I love that these are leggings as they don’t scrunch up when I’m trying to sleep.

Animal print is always fun! This pajama set is silky and runs a bit baggy but I like the fit as it’s loose enough to feel comfortable while lounging around and sleeping.

Edie’s outfit is an amazon find and I just love how cute she is in her matching loungewear set!

Loungewear you can wear outside the house

The best part about stylish loungewear is that you can wear it out and nobody will bat an eye!

Matching loungewear is also the best as there is literally no effort into figuring out what to wear!

These joggers are great for petite women as they run smaller in the legs and you can pull them up to your ankles so that it stays and doesn’t drag down. I also really like that this tie dye is muted and great for fall!

It’s hard to tell but I’m wearing this set here with my girls. I had to share their tie dye pajama sets as I just love them and my girls love to match! The quality is great, (I’ve washed them quite a few times already and they hold up so well) and they’re really affordable.

This set is one of my favorites because it is literally the softest material. You can also wear the top with jeans and it makes for such a cute outfit. Both the top and the joggers come in several different colors so you can mix and match as well.

I wear this set all the time and I’m not ashamed! LOL! It’s just that comfy. And as you can see, I also love to put Layla and Edie in matching loungewear sets too.

Layla’s cozy tie dye set is so soft and Edie’s set is the same as above except for these are the shorts version! We actually wore this on a warm day but she really wanted to wear her rain boots and her furry jacket at the same time. Haha!

I’m wearing it below with a long cardigan to add a bit more warmth. A neutral set like this is perfect for lounging at home but you can also wear it to the grocery store!

Petite joggers and sweatpants

If you have a hard time finding joggers and sweatpants that fit you well, you are not alone! I’ve tried so many that end up being way too big and overwhelm me.

I see so many girls looking so cute in joggers and I always wanted to try the look but just couldn’t find the right pair.

I finally snagged the perfect pair that actually fit and don’t get baggy overtime! These are from Marika which is a workout brand and they were only $17!

Why these joggers fits so well is that they are a 27.5″ inseam which is perfect if you have short legs like mine!

You can pair them with sweatshirts or sweaters. They are seriously so comfy and perfect for when I take the kids out to the playground or walk around the park.

Amazon also has a lot of joggers but these ones that I found are the best – I actually own two pairs! And they are only $14! They are lightweight and very soft.

I wear a size Small and they fit a little baggy but not too much and you can cinch the waistband.

Stylish Loungewear Sets for toddlers

Can’t forget the little ones! I love buying loungewear for my girls. Here are some great sets that are inexpensive and so cute!

Cute Outfit Ideas For Girls To Wear This Fall (Back to School)

Post author By tiffany
Post date August 25, 2020

Back to school shopping can be a bit stressful and I try to make it easy by doing all my shopping at Walmart. I not only stock up on all the school supplies we need but also the cutest outfits for back to school.

This post is in partnership with Walmart. All opinions are my own.

I have been continually impressed with the styles and quality of clothes from Walmart and am always checking out their site for new styles!

Casual and fun fall outfit idea

Layla is a girly girl and would much rather wear skirts and dresses over jeans. I loved this tutu dress (that comes in 4 colors) and added a jean jacket for a fun casual look.

I had to get some fun accessories like these shoes and backpack to add to her outfit! She just loves the rainbow colors and especially the big bow on her shoes.

Sparkles for fall

Layla is never afraid to wear sparkle so when I spotted this sequin jacket, I knew we had to have it! It’s adorable and so affordable! I want to get the other colors now! It paired well with her tutu dress and made it fun to change up her look even with the same outfit.

Trendy Kid’s Outfit Idea

A pleated skirt is a cute fall outfit idea and it’s so comfy! Layla just loved this sweatshirt and skirt combo and didn’t want to take it off!

I just love the pairing of the polka dots and the skirt, it’s such a cute combo and perfect for fall! The sweatshirt comes in 4 colors and is under $12!

I couldn’t help but join Layla and a little matching mommy and me outfit.

Walmart has such fun styles for back to school. It’s such a great place to shop, especially with kids growing so fast, to have affordable options and so many cute and trendy pieces!

We are doing a lot of back to school prep and clothes shopping always makes me realize how big my oldest is getting as she basically jumps up to the next size which I’m just not ready for!

Layla loves to dress herself but we always shop together for her outfits and I’ve been loving the selection at Walmart. I’ve been able to find not only lots of basics but a great variety of trendy styles that Layla loves. And I’m loving the quality and price point! Everything is so affordable so I’ve been picking up everything from her clothes, shoes and accessories from Walmart!

This post is in partnership with Walmart. All opinions are my own.

Mom and daughter getting ready for school

When I was shopping for Layla I couldn’t resist to add a few things for myself! I’m loving so many cute styles and how affordable everything is!

Casual and cute for back to school

These off the shoulder tops are not only cute and trendy but so comfy too! And of course, we are all still obsessed with tie dye which is why we love these tops so much.

A tie dye top, slim jeans and fun sneakers is the perfect outfit for school, and don’t forget about the fun backpack too!

Tie Dye tops for Moms and Girls

Recess Ready Dresses

My daughter prefers to wear dresses most days of the week so I’m always looking out for dresses that she can run and play in. I love these stretchy lightweight dresses that she can wear and feel comfy all day.

When the weather cools down it will be so cute with a jean jacket and some knee high socks. I always have to mention how much I love her fun silver sneakers! Not only are they so cute and go with all her outfits, she has been loving wearing them everywhere!

I also found a bunch of fun tops for myself! I just love these trendy pieces and everything is under $20!

We are so excited to get ready for back to school even if it might look a little different this year, however shopping for new school clothes is always a fun and exciting thing to do together!
