Packing for my hospital stay.

Truth is, I overpacked for my first pregnancy! My stay was short and we packed like we were staying for quite some time. I'm more prepared this time around. Packing less for mommy and baby. These products are a few products I'll pack in my personal bag. Not all products are pictured below. These are just a few. 



1. Clean and Clear- Morning burst facial scrub. I absolutely love how refreshing this scrub is. Its light citrus smell will for sure refresh you in the morning. I'm sure this will come in handy for my hospital stay. It's actually a tiny bottle I picked up from Target.

2.Nivea Smooth Sensation. This lotion is light weight and has a nice soft clean scent. My skin tends to dry out. I can use all the moisture I can get.  

3. Softsoap body wash. This time I'm packing smaller bottles of each product. It helps to not take up so much room.

4. Body Oil. I currently use this right after my shower. Just a few drops and your skin is left feeling silky and soft. I'll probably pack this away for my stay at the hospital. 

5. Bareminerals.  I don't wear much makeup. But I do want to feel and look refreshed. Especially for my hospital pictures. This power foundation is very light weight and goes on very smooth.

6. Covergirl blush. I'll probably toss this in my bag. Just a gentle light sweep across my cheekbones and I'll be on my way.

7. Benefit. On my birthday last year, I actually received this from Sephora as a gift along with mascara. It's a soft focus highlighter for your face. You can apply above cheekbones, or the arch of your brow. Adds a simple glow and looks wonderful. I always carry this around with me.


8. Deep conditioning protein pack. It's a great leave in conditioner and my hair could use a little tlc from time to time. 
  
9. Blistex Lip Vibrance. I was looking for a product for my lips. I threw this one in our cart and hadn't realized that it had color tint. I love it. It provides a light shade of color along with SPF 15. 


10. My simple to-go bag. I picked this up sometime last year. I'm sure it was purchased at the Target dollar aisle. It's light, simple and fits most of my products inside. 


11. e.l.f. Lip Exfoliator.  I carry this around with me at all times. It's so gentle on your lips as it exfoliates the chapped skin away. I love how it leaves my lips feeling soft and looking great.

A little update: I took a short break from blogging. I needed time to think and rid myself from technology for a  few. I'm currently 35 weeks along in this pregnancy. Experiencing braxton hicks contractions daily. I totally hate this heartburn that I'm experiencing day and night. Baby's head is down and I'm one uncomfortable mama! I  try reminding myself that pregnancy is beautiful and that soon I'll be holding our newest addition to our family. Life is a blessing. :)

    Oh man! You are lucky. Our bag was not packed at all! I will pack a bag as soon as I hit 30 weeks the next time around just in case. I'd rather not show up like we did last time with dry skin. My hair all crazy and not being able to shower for my whole stay. I asked so many times and they wouldn't let me due to the section. I would loved some baby wipes to freshen up at least.

    You got this mama your little one will be here soon!

      Oh Dina, yes make sure you're all packed this next time around! Wow, I did not know that they will not let you shower due to your section. Aw, so sorry to hear that. You know when my skin gets dry it drives me crazy!! Lol And you are right baby wipes or some type of hygiene wipes to freshen up would have been nice if given to you.

      And thank you Dina, I'm feeling more knowledgeable and prepared this time around. :)

Two good scents- Review & giveaway

 (Review and giveaway)- Two Good Scents  Sugar Scrubs These days I'm feeling very pregnant. So when the chance comes along to pamper myself, I'm definitely up for it. We can all use some pampering from time to time. :) I was contacted by Nancy over at http://www.twogoodscents.com/. She kindly offered to send me some of her products in exchange for a fair review of the items I get. No other compensation was provided for this review.  I received my products in a padded envelope stuffed with decorative tissue paper.  The containers were well-padded to protect the plastic containers.  After opening up the package, I took out the sealed jars, which had a professional look along with cute labels.  I opened each of them, one at a time.  My initial reactions were to the scents of the scrubs.  My personal favorite was the blossom scrub, which was reminiscent of a nice, clean, soft, flowery soap bar.  The others I received w...

Fun and Easy Cardboard Place Cards for Your Thanksgiving Table

 Are you l ooking for a quick and easy Thanksgiving DIY project? Learning to create upcycled cardboard place cards for your Thanksgiving table using simple materials. Great for a festive touch! Hello everyone! I'm excited to share this easy upcycling project with you. We'll be making place cards by repurposing cardboard.

I used sections that are 3x8 inches in size. Next, fold each cardboard strip in half and flatten them out by pressing the folded sections together. Then, use a paint marker to write the names and add any designs you want on the cards. After that, use floral cutters to cut faux flowers that you want to use on the place cards. Attach the flo...
