I sometimes feel like a broken record, but in a good way! I love using beauty products good for me. Obviously we can't weed out
all the bad stuff in cosmetics (there's just way too many), but if we make a conscious effort every time we use something on our bodies, that's a great start. Especially for pregnant and nursing mamas since we're responsible for two of us...yikes! No pressure.
I was happy to discover
Nine Naturals at the very end (sadly, the last week) of my pregnancy and I'm so glad I did because now I can use it while nursing. It's safe and every product I've used smells
so good. (hey, it's the little things...showers themselves are actually a luxury these days!)
I've tried several of the Nine Naturals product line-up, but perhaps my two favs are the Citrus Geranium Soothing Pregnancy Body Wash ($20) and the Unscented Moisturizing Pregnancy Body Cream ($19). I'm such a sucker for a great body wash, but it's really hard to find one without yucky chemicals in it. This one smells so, so good...I love the citrus like
whoa. It's a very invigorating scent and makes me feel so fresh and clean (throwback to old-school Outkast, anyone?). Come to find out, it also includes ingredients to take itchiness away, and, get this, the essential oils even help harmonize emotions and hormones. Hey, load me up because they don't stop after pregnancy, gals!
