Throughout my pregnancy, my goal has been to be present. Each day has been completely different in regards to how I feel, so my normal routines have shifted quite a bit. I’m cutting back in all areas of my life and happily “doing less” where I can.
But as I step into my third trimester of pregnancy, I’ve noticed there have been a few products that I’ve been using nearly daily – and thought I’d share the things that have helped me feel my best along the way. They fall into the following categories:
1. clean, effective self-care routines
2. good sleep hygiene
3. effortless (and comfortable) outfits
Here are the top self-care, beauty, clothing and sleep products I’ve been using on repeat over the past 6+ months of my pregnancy.
For my full list of prenatal supplements, check out this post for all the details and links.
Beauty & Self-Care
The Golden Secrets
Womb Wisdom Skin Toning Oil
My favorite low-PUFA skin tightening oil designed for pregnancy and postpartum. Been using this daily and I’m in my 3rd trimester and not showing any stretch marks.
The Skinny Confidential
Le Spoon
The perfect tool to help with lymphatic drainage and the inevitable pregnancy cellulite. I’ll use this with the Womb Wisdom Oil – a perfect duo.
THE SKINNY CONFIDENTIAL
Hot Mess Ice Roller
Pregnancy “puffiness” is inevitable and I’ve noticed it more in my face than ever. This is my favorite morning ritual to de-puffing my face and I see nearly instant results.
The Golden Secrets
Long Lash Growth Serum
My lashes sadly took a hit this pregnancy. This non-toxic serum is bringing back their strength and length. I plan on using this postpartum as well.
Clearstem
Bounceback Serum
AKA Botox in a bottle. It’s THE serum for anti-aging thats both pregnancy-safe & non-toxic. PS – every product they have is a game changer.
Colorescience
Total Protection Face Shield Flex
This tinted mineral SPF is better than makeup. On days where I’m spending more than just 20 mins outside, I’ll use this as my makeup and SPF.
Sleep
Clothing + Shoes
Organic Basics
Core Triangle Bra
My go-to bra, although every bra this brand creates is *chefs kiss*. Organic cotton and insanely comfortable.
organic Basics
Flex Thong
The only underwear I’m wearing these days. You can’t go wrong with any style from Organic Basics.
Misc.
Stanley
Stanley Quencher H2.0
Call me basic, IDC. I finally caved and bought a Stanley and now I know what all the hype is about. Hydration during pregnancy = key.
TRIDEER
Extra Thick Yoga Ball
Swapped my work chair for one of these and my back has never been happier. I got the largest size (78-85cm) – I’m 5″8 and this works perfectly for me.
