Birth Announcement Keepsake

How cute are these framed birth announcements? Seriously I can't get over how adorable this Etsy shop from mosieposies is. The designs are so customizable - you can find something that will work perfectly with any nursery decor. What an awesome keepsake - just lovely.

Here are a few of my faves - adorned with elephants, owls and giraffes of course.

Clear Skin During Pregnancy

Early on in my pregnancy I came across some news that seriously threw a monkey wrench in my skincare routine. The general verdict out there - salicylic acid is a no no for expecting mothers. So, I set out on my search for something that was safe and would work. My skin started to freak out due to pregnancy hormones and I had to find something that clear things up safely!

After a few days, I stumbled upon Belli - my saving Grace. Belli makes a pregnancy safe acne face wash that is made with lactic acid to slough away dead skin. I love this face wash so much I might even keep using it post baby. It smells amazing, foams up nicely and I would recommend it to anyone.

I also use the condition moisturizer made with Lactic Acid from Nonie of Beverly Hills....designed for oily skin. Between these two products, I've seen nice clarity in my skin and I'm now in the 7th month of my pregnancy.
