Two words no pregnant girl wants to hear: stretch marks. I feel like I spent my whole pregnancy oiled up like a turkey trying to avoid them. That might be a bit of an exaggeration but I definitely went through enough bottles to justify that! I know it’s mostly genetics, but I didn’t get any stretch marks so I wanted to share what worked for me.
Last Monday I popped into Facial Works for a little pampering. I’m taking all I can get right now because I know in a few weeks I won’t have this kind of time anymore! Facial Works is a cool spot with a facial bar and services starting at only $50. It’s kind of like the Dry Bar for facials. The location is so cute and has an open room setting which would be perfect for a group of girlfriends.
Let’s talk hair!
Last week I was lucky enough to spend the day at Sassoon Salon in Costa Mesa. When it comes to my hair I’m pretty low maintenance, but I was due for a refresh. I’ve had long hair most of my life (aside from a few unfortunate haircuts) and plan on keeping it that way for now, but I’d been feeling blah about it lately. After a day being pampered at Sassoon I’m feeling much better and my hair is looking so much healthier, shinier and more natural.
Every month this year has gone by faster than the last, but I’m totally trippin’ that it’s the last day of November. I wanted to share some of my recent beauty and book favorites to end the month.
A good friend gifted me with a subscription to Bump Boxes and I’ve been loving discovering new pregnancy friendly products over the last few months. Two of those were this face wash and this face and body scrub. There are so many ingredients you have to watch out for in beauty products while pregnant, it’s nice to use these and not have to worry.
