She has garnered over 94,000 followers on TikTok by sharing a glimpse into her family life and her fashion must-haves.
She took to the social media platform to unveil her latest swimwear purchases from Aerie.
Jen said: “I’m going to be one year postpartum in like a week which is crazy.
“I thought I would be like bounce back by now and definitely be comfortable in my body but I’m not.
“Aerie swimsuit haul.
“I’m literally going to the beach next week so I really hope I like one of these.”
Jen swapped her oversized hoodie and leggings for a black bikini with high-rise bottoms and denim shorts.
She said: “The first one. We’re gonna keep the jean shorts on because I have the worst razor burn.
“I don’t know how you guys are always like so confident up in here, my razor burn can never.
“The bottoms are medium and the top is a medium.
“I actually do really like this one, I love this cut top.”
The mom kept the same black bottoms on as she changed into a plunging black and white stripe bikini top.
Many of the items featured in the haul have since sold out because Aerie has an epic fall sale.
The brand’s tie-string triangle bikini top, which is also available in blue and orange, has been reduced from $36.95 to $25.86.
Jen said: “The top I got a large and I need help making it tighter.
“But I think I like it without it being a medium.”
Jen then wore a red bikini set with a keyhole detail which she said was “pretty good” despite the top slightly squeezing.
She gushed about the bottoms perfectly covering the areas of her body that she wanted to conceal.
She said: “And they have the same one in this pretty blue color.
“I forgot to say the top is large and the bottoms are medium, not bad.”

Jen swapped the bikini sets for a one-piece blue swimsuit in a size medium, which she decided to keep despite being unimpressed with the fit.
Lastly, she changed into a coral-colored bikini set with a square neckline which has been reduced from $39.95 to $15.98.
She said: “This is a little different texture to the other ones. I definitely like the other textures better but it’ll work.
“The bottoms are medium and the top is large.
“I also need you guys’ tips on razor burn because mine really bad.”
Jen captioned the post, writing: “Definitely thought I’d be ‘bounced back’ by one year postpartum but that’s okay.
She added the hashtags #postpartumswimwear, #highwaistedswimsuit and #firsttimemom.
Over 1,700 people liked the haul and shared their opinions on which of the bikinis looked the best.
One person wrote: “I love those and I’m running to order some myself! And Venus makes a shaving product and a post-shave serum… works like a charm I swear!”
Another commented: “Girl you look amazing! All these swimsuits are so cute!”
A third said: “I love them! You look amazing!! Red is your color!”
A fourth added: “Love the coral! I have the same issue with razor burn. I’m so self-conscious about it that I always wear a swim skirt or cover-up.”
A TikToker said: “I’ve been wearing Aerie Swim religiously for a few years! Luv these.”
