Pregnancy Post: Taking care of me

I am 23 weeks into my second pregnancy and now that I feel “good”, I am finally starting to focus on me. I’m tired of looking tired and I’m tired of this dry, winter-chapped skin of mine. I have been anticipating putting my Belli Motherhood “Motherhood Essentials Kit” to use for quite some time now.

This is the perfect sampler kit for any pregnant woman. I didn’t use any products like these Belli Motherhood products during my first pregnancy. Now that I’ve “been there, done that”, I pay a little more attention to what is really going to be good for me.

First of all, my belly is really starting to pop and stretch and “itch” now. I have made it a habit to use the Belli Body Firming Serum every day, once or twice per day. My growing mid-section is noticeably smooth to the touch and actually feels healthy after using it. I know, that’s kind of odd but I can’t think of a better way to state it. Put it this way, I really like the stuff.

Next, I carry the Belli Moisturizing Hand Sanitzer in my purse. Not only do I use it, but I also use it on my preschooler after visits to the park and before eating out if we’ve been out and about. Know what I like about it? It doesn’t burn the crap out of my hands (which tend to be dry and cracked most of the time) and it doesn’t have that God-awful alcohol smell to it. It’s got a “slight” scent and after it’s rubbed in, it doesn’t feel like your hands are on fire or going to fall off. Your hands are smooth and actually do feel clean. Thumbs up.

The other two items included in the Motherhood Essentials Kit are the Eye Brightening Cream and the Pure Comfort Nursing Cream. I occasionally use the Eye Brightening Cream but haven’t used it enough to really give a testimonial about it. I wear it and hope that it’s doing the trick by helping me not look as tired as I feel. Last but not least, I’m very much looking forward to putting the Pure Comfort Nursing Cream to the test. I have used other nursing creams/ointments and they worked fine but since I dig the other products in the Belli Motherhood line, I don’t have a doubt that I will recommend their nursing cream, too.

On a closing note, I’m also very much looking forward to putting their Belli Baby line to use after our little girl arrives. We will use the Belli Baby Calm Me Hair and Body Wash and the Belli Baby Nourish Me Enriched Body Lotion and update you on our thoughts when the time comes.
