Another bump shot... don't worry, there's only 7 weeks left of them. Today I thought we'd talk about something I'm asked about a lot when I'm pregnant. Pregnancy safe beauty products. It was honestly a topic I was not prepared for when I found out I was pregnant with Crosby. I was ready to give up raw fish, alcohol, etc... but beauty? It never crossed my mind. Luckily I've found several products that I love and are safe for pregnancy.
Ever since I started blogging I've wanted to film a hair tutorial. It's seriously been on my list for over 5 years. I finally have a video coming to my Instagram today!
Happy Friday! I can't tell you how relieved I am to have finally spilled our big secret. I'm so grateful for the support and love this community has shown us. I was washing my face the other night and noticed I had a whole bunch of products I've been using and loving to share with you. It's been awhile since I did a product roundup so what better time than now. All my current favs from the deodorant I can't stop talking about to the prenatal vitamins I'm taking for the second time.
The past couple of years my hair has taken a bit of a beating. After over a year and a half I’m still recovering from postpartum hair loss, or more so the awkward phase of hair re-grown. Late last year I also had a really bad hair coloring experience. My stylist and I were not on the same page and I ended up coming out of the appointment as a platinum blonde. Definitely not what I was going for, and I’m still trying to get my hair back to normal. Between those two major things I knew it was time to pamper my hair and decided to take part in the Pantene 14 Day Challenge.
When I was pregnant with Crosby I became much more aware of the chemicals that are in most household cleaning products. I made a conscious effort to switch to more natural products because I didn't want my house to be full of chemicals for us all to inhale. Then when she was born it dawned on me that I was using a lot of products on my body that were just as bad. I began researching clean beauty items to switch to... and I started with deodorant. Linking some of my other favorite Kopari products below... everything I've tried from the brand has been amazing.
I was in my bathroom getting ready the other day and realized I've been using a few new-ish products that I wanted to share. I try a lot of products, so when I end up loving something I can't wait to tell you about it. I've been using most of these all summer and they're now staples in my beauty closet. Let's dive in.
I'm Ashley, a professional stylist, wife, and new mom, sharing my love of fashion, beauty, home decor, travel, and life in sunny Southern California!
