\"img_6656\"I truly have loved being pregnant, and in the practice of not complaining about it, i thought i’d share some of the lifesavers that have made it a little easier on us all (yes, us!). And, I was totally inspired by miss Katie<\/a>! In general, I’m a very\u00a0au naturale <\/i>sort of person, I do not have a large amount of beauty products in my cabinets\u2014I think i could live with one or two if i was forced! Thankfully i don’t have to!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n

1. Burts Bees oil<\/a>:<\/span> this one gets to go first because i’m absolutely addicted to this stuff. the smell is delicious and not overbearing, it’s not a heavy product so the oil soaks in nicely without leaving a funky layer on. i use it on my hands, belly, feet and cuticles too!<\/p>\n

2. Clinique dramatically different moisturizing lotion<\/a>:<\/span> my favorite face lotion. i use it all over and it’s even gentle enough to use as makeup remover (on the eyes too). there’s no strong scent and no funny residue.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0<\/span>Origins grapefruit body souffle<\/a>:<\/span>\u00a0a wonderful family member always sets me up with the origins’ gift packs \u00a0each christmastime and this lotion continues to blow me away. it’s really like a souffle, soft, silky, light but with a gentle, wonderful scent. a little pricey so once i run out, i’m back on the aveeno bandwagon, but meanwhile, this stuff is where it’s at!<\/p>\n

4. Aromatherapy sugar scrub<\/a>:<\/span> i am a sugar scrub gal. i have tried them all. salt scrub, bead scrubs, seed scrubs and sugar. i have finally landed with sugar. and after spending many a dollar on brands i thought would blow my world, the one that continues to win in the end is from bath & body works, believe it or not! i love the vanilla lavender combo and it scrubs nicely and always leaves me moisturized. i use this on my arms, elbows, belly (for now) and my legs after i shave (it’s a dream i tell you). for the record, in my opinion, this scrub tops (and i’ve tried all <\/i>of these): sabon, origins, the body shop, alba, st. ives and burts. yup!<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0<\/span>Aloe Gator lip balm<\/a>:<\/span>\u00a0i’ve been using this brand of lip balm since i was 14 (so about 13 years now! how’s that for brand loyalty?!). it’s extreeeemely moisturizing meaning you don’t have to coat it on over-and-over on your lips (but not waxy), just a few quick swipes and you’re set. the tropical scents are in-credible, but the rest are as well. they really win in the scent department. oh yes, and spf. win.<\/p>\n

6. Neosporin<\/a>!<\/span> to me, neosporin is like the duct-tape of the beauty\/medical world! i use it for everything! and the pain relief edition..even better. hang nail? neosporin. blemish? neosporin. cut? neosporin. dry patch? neosporin. it’s like a cross between my favorite facial lotion and vaseline, but heals things up quickly. i don’t know what i’d do without my multiple tubes of it.<\/p>\n
