Taking it Easy While Using Fairhaven Health Nursing Products - Nursing Pack Giveaway!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

For those of you who read and follow my blog, you would already know that I recently had a baby. You would also know that I've had issues regarding infertility, as a result from PCOS... I've blogged about it many times in the past. My little Brianna is a little over 3 months old, and she's my miracle baby.

While I was pregnant I contacted the company Fairhaven Health, to inquire about their products. I was fortunate to be able to test some of them, mainly the ones for post-pregnancy... for nursing. I actually intended on writing this blog post months ago, however, having a newborn was a lot more work than I previously expected. It also doesn't help that she was colicky, which took up a lot more time trying to calm her down on a daily basis. I have figured out that cutting out dairy (milk) has made a huge improvement, and I've finally been able to start catching up on my blogging.

Hospital Labor Checklist!

I'm currently at 31 weeks in my pregnancy, and that means that I could go into labor anytime now. Of course I'm praying I will go the full 40 weeks, although with my health issues that is highly unlikely. Since the day is quickly approaching, I decided to make a list of some things that should be packed waiting to go... you never know!

For labor...

__ Robe and/or nightgown
__ Slippers
__ Socks
__ Old nightgown or t-shirt to wear during labor
__ Hair tie, in case you want your hair tied up
__ Relaxation materials ( books, magazines, music, etc.)
__ Toiletries

What’s in Kate Middleton’s post-baby beauty kit? And why we all need to stock up on these, kiddo or not

Custom illustrated by Kristina Hultktantz

Enough has been written about Kate Middleton’s extensive beauty routine. From her favorite Bobbi Brown makeup to her cult classic blowouts (even straight out of the delivery room!), the $35,000+ annual maintenance costs add up to a lot of primping – and now she has to change just about all of it post-baby. Again. Because duchess or not, having a baby is a total game changer. Skin throws out new problems everyday, hair is deprived of volume and shine building chemicals and the body goes totally out of whack.

So, from combating dark circles to keeping that luscious hair in place, even the Duchess of Cambridge will require a few tricks to look (and feel!) beautiful while re-adjusting to having a brand new baby in the house. Keeping this in mind, we have a whole care-package-of-sorts ready should she have been too busy with the little princess to think about her beauty routine.

Baby + bump

While we adore that cute little belly Kate sported in her very first post-baby appearance, judging by her quick bounce-back after Prince George’s birth, we know this perma-polished new mum will want to get back in shape soon enough. Cue: Mama Mio’s Skin Tight Toning Serum ($39) to tackle post-pregnancy crepey skin. This is perfectly complimented by Angelique’s Massage Balm (£9.79), which is so gentle it can be used on both mother and baby. Little wonder both are cult amongst A-Listers.
