This post may give you a glimpse into how my brain is working lately! Scattered and random. Lol! Some of my favorite posts from other bloggers are the ones like this, with an assortment of thoughts, tips, and wish list items.
Also, I promise this space is not going to turn into a pregnancy blog. I am not planning to do regular updates, but I do have some clothing wish list items, and some skin tips to share! Since we just made our news public, I’ve been holding onto these thoughts.
First, our weekend was pretty wonderful! We had a family date night on Friday, which involved dinner at Ilios Noche (delicious!) and a trip to Lowe’s. On Saturday I went to our town’s farmers’ market, we worked in the yard, and we helped celebrate one of my college roommates’ birthdays. I have zero pictures with my girlfriends, unfortunately, but it was a fun night! On Sunday we went to church, worked on some home improvements, and we had several of our sweet neighbors over for dinner. Since we are attempting to eat healthier and have fewer cheat meals, that fruit tray was our “dessert.”
Maternity clothes…well, a few months ago, I gave away all of my maternity clothes and pregnancy books. I honestly thought I would never need them again! So I am trying to re-stock some of the basics! Asos was my go-to when I was pregnant with Davis, and I found some great options from there again. I just ordered the black swimsuit, in 2 sizes, because they offer free shipping and free returns! $43 for a bathing suit is not a bad price at all.

Let’s talk about skin. Once I found out I was expecting, I had to stop using some of my skincare items. I researched safe skincare lines, and Juice Beauty is one that had wonderful reviews! Thank the lord for their blemish clearing peel, because my skin has been rough the last week! I’ve also been relying on jojoba oil to remove my makeup. Bonus!…it seems to help keep my eyelashes a good length, now that I’m scared to use my favorite Neulash.
Before, I loved using the Rodan & Fields microdermabrasion paste, and the Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Peel Pads for skin boosts.
I wish I could find the original source of this hilarious and oh-so-true quote!
That’s all of my brain dump…for now. 😉
I am so glad you posted about those products. My skin has freaked out on me! Going to order that Juice Beauty peel ASAP! Also, good to know about Asos. I’ve never ordered anything from there.
I LOVE Asos! Pregnant or not. And my husband has had good luck ordering from there as well. All of my favorite maternity basics were from there last time. I used the mask again last night – 2 nights in a row – and I see improvement! I’m going to email you about moisturizer too. 😉
What a fun weekend! It’s always so nice to get outside and enjoy the weather, whether working on the yard or at the farmers market!
Emily, yes it was! We enjoyed it! I hope you had a nice weekend as well. 🙂
Great post! I honestly want to shove all the food in the pictures into my mouth right now- I blame the baby 😉
My skin has been getting worse, so I’m glad to see a post about pregnancy safe products! Thank you.
Also, I’m not a fan of him- but the quote at the end is a twist on lyrics from a Justin Bieber song “Love Yourself”- I only know because my Fiance gets it stuck in his head all the time haha! 🙂
haha, Joanna! Amen about the food!
