New Skincare Routine: Pregnancy Safe

admin — Thu, 19 Mar 2020 22:49:45 +0000

Just because you’re pregnant and your body has to suffer from growing a human being (soon to be the size of a watermelon) doesn’t mean your skin has to! In fact, most pregnancies, your skin takes on a whole new world. From raging hormones that cause some serious break outs to soon to be glowing skin. At least that’s what everyone says! Your skin takes a true beating which is why you still need some self love but with pre caution because there are some harsh ingredients in a lot of skincare that you may not have known or even thought about before. I sure didn’t and it took me a good minute to go through the list of my favorite products to see what was safe and what was not and it was pretty scary to see how many were not safe. I had to store those away for after baby and do some serious research (as I am no expert) to change up my skincare routine. Just a smidge to ensure the best for my little! I’m linking below my new regime (in order of routine) plus a list of other pregnancy safe products to try as well […]

What I packed In My Hospital Bag … I still can’t believe my due date is coming up in 2 weeks. It’s true what they say about the last trimester, it flies right by. So I have been doing anything and everything to prep for the big day, the day we get to welcome our sweet baby girl in to this world! I’m excited, and of course naturally scared. The only thing to settle my nerves is to prep as much as I can. From washing and folding her little clothes in size order to re-packing and adding to my overnight bag. I don’t want to forget anything and want to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible. At least what I can control! For all you gorgeous mama’s to be, I’m sharing what I have packed in my hospital bag. Tips from mom friends or items recommended online helped inspire me to conjure up my ready-to-go bag.

My Boho Baby Shower

My boho baby shower … I have to brag here a bit because I have the best family and friends a girl could ask for. My mom truly is the hostess with the mostess and threw me a baby shower that I thought a girl could only dream of. I seriously don’t know how she does it and pray that I too can be as loving, generous and kind hearted of a mom like she is. Thank you to my dear friend Lauren for opening her gorgeous home to celebrate and my girl Mimi for all her help and preperation. Also to my beautiful mother in law, Pam for traveling all the way up north to shower her little grand baby. I’m so sad to have missed my sister and niece on this special day as they both become very ill just a few days before but were of course there in spirit. I feel so thankful and blessed to have had so many close friends and family around me, showering my little girl. She is going to be brought in to a world surrounded by so much love and by so many wonderful people, I couldn’t be more thankful. We can’t wait to meet you little […]

10 Things To Do Before Baby Arrives … It’s hard to believe this pregnancy journey that I have embarked upon will soon come to an end and I will be known as “mommy” to a sweet baby girl in less than two months. I have gone through the stages of every panic mode while trying to get the nursery in order, buying all the necessities, and organizing my own life to ensure I can take care of another! It’s a whole lot on one’s plate. As the countdown continues, and the months dwindle down to what feels like just a few weeks, I’ve begun to slow down and realize I need to appreciate a few things before I begin this next chapter in life. It’s a life changing chapter. One that I’m super fricken scared to start yet at that the same time have never been more excited to adventure upon. There are a million things one can do before baby arrives, other than eating sushi, drinking wine and riding roller coasters, and maybe a few more 😜 but I decided to narrow it down to 10. I’m sharing my personal top 10 things to do before baby arrives in April. I would love to hear your thoughts […]
