The last days of winter always spark desire for change. I can start to smell spring in the air and it settles deep into my bones, a rebirth. Two years ago, that change was cutting off all of my hair - a horrid idea, now that I look back on it... blegh! Thankfully - to myself and all who know me - I've decided to take a less dramatic route this year and simply darkened my hair to its natural color. I'm really hoping for a pre-natal massage as I forge through my most uncomfortable weeks, but I still have a ways to go before I get there.
I'm certain any pregnant woman would agree that bath time is their most cherished time of the day. To be weightless, even for a moment, is pure bliss. I'm lucky if I ever get a bath to myself anymore though, so my littlest companion has been having extra fun with her brand new bubbles from YesTo baby carrots. While I always try to source products with natural ingredients for my children, I've often forgot to do the same for myself - quite important now that I'm creating a life. I love knowing I can join her amongst the (mile-high!) bubbles and feel comforted in the fact there aren't any icky ingredients that are so often peppered throughout our most used household and beauty items. And anyone with a toddler knows that anything that produces a mighty foam & giant bubbles is TOPS! I've been mulling over a post with some of my go-to natural products for baby, mom and the home for quite some time... thinking I may just need to sit down and give it a go.
Do you use natural products in your home? Who are some of your favorite companies?

Bath time is pure bliss isn't it? I would love to read a natural products post - great idea. Lisa x
ReplyDeleteI smiled because I too chopped off the back of my hair wanting a change once (I did it myself though, it didn't look terrible because my hair's sorta curly)..
ReplyDeleteI put henna through my hair for the first time recently, it's definitely different and apparently you need a decent brand (lasconia is what I used)..
and sometimes it is just about the bubbles. x
Oh, baths. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteAs for natural products - I use all Method cleaning product including hand soap and sanitizer. As for baby products, though I've yet to use them, I've invested in some Earth Mama Angel Baby products for things from butt balm for diaper rashes and nipple cream for myself! Also, their shampoo/soap hybrid. They have a ton of choices!
Pregnant massages are SO good. I'm trying to get one once a fortnight for the next 2 months because I feel so much better for it. That and swimming/floating. Yesterday I bobbed around in the ocean for a good half hour and it was the only time my body didn't feel sore. Re: natural stuff... I love Dr Hauschka, and dr bronner x
ReplyDeleteYes To is amazing! I use Yes To tomatoes face wash and ADORE IT!
ReplyDeleteI'm really big on natural products for the home and body. I use all natural cleaning products (some I make myself). And for me I use Verite Spa organics, for the kids Eco Store and Baobaby organics. All New Zealand made and just so beautiful. xo
ReplyDeleteYes To make the coolest products! I used to have the Yes to Tomatoes facewash. Yeah I love having something special to put in Casper's bath, I usually put rose oil and baking soda, or a bit of milk and honey!
ReplyDeleteI never knew that Yes To made baby products, I must check it out! Olivia is SO into bubbles these days.
ReplyDeletelove, love, love the photo of your spring time flowers.xo
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of spring in your home! It is very important to use healthy products and so glad you are loving YesTo!

Bath time bliss! I've been slowly going through our toiletries and replacing them over time with more natural products. I like Gaia and Little Innoscents baby products for little ones.
