Clean Beauty, Wellness Picks & Everyday Essentials
I haven’t done a product round-up on the blog before, but every time I catch up with a friend — whether we’re chatting about skincare, wellness, or fashion — I end up rattling off a dozen things I’m currently obsessed with. So I figured it’s time I just lean in and share them all in one place.
If you’re anything like me, you’re easily influenced (and I say that proudly). I follow accounts like @things.i.bought.and.liked religiously, and I’m always DM’ing influencers for links to the products they swear by. So in true girls-girl fashion, here’s a peek into what I’ve been loving lately — starting with a few skincare and wellness staples that are totally pregnancy- and postpartum-friendly. (Note: I may earn a small commission if you shop through the links below — and I only ever recommend what I truly love.)
I’ve had this body oil in rotation for three years now and I’ll never be without it. I even keep the travel size in my bag. It’s by far the best body oil I’ve tried — rich, silky, non-greasy, and a little goes a long way on damp skin. It’s on the pricier side, but absolutely worth it.
Pregnancy-safe skincare? Yes. This is my go-to for nourishing my bump and keeping my skin happy through all the stretching and shifting.
💡 Pro tip: Apply after a shower while skin is still damp for max hydration.
And honestly — anything from OSEA is a yes for me. I use the Ocean Cleanser every morning and the Sea Salt Body Scrub weekly. The entire line is a clean beauty dream.
🌙 Beekman 1802 Dream Booster Oil
This nightly oil has been a game-changer. I mix a couple drops into my moisturizer before bed and my skin loves it. It’s made with Bakuchiol, a plant-based, non-toxic alternative to retinol that’s completely safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding.
I started using it during my first pregnancy in 2021 and haven’t looked back since. If you’re on the hunt for a natural anti-aging oil that works without irritating your skin, this is it.
💧 Owala FreeSip Water Bottle (24 oz)
Okay, I know it’s not a Stanley. I’ve actually never owned one — and probably never will. I had the Owala Stanley dupe before this and it just didn’t cut it: the lid leaked, and the handle was too flimsy. Then my sister told me about this version… game changer.
It’s spill-proof, has a hidden straw (IYKYK), and a lock so I can throw it in a diaper bag with zero mess. Honestly, the design is just smarter — and it keeps drinks cold forever.
🌿 Salt & Stone Natural Deodorant
I’ve re-ordered this clean deodorant three times now — which is saying a lot, because most natural formulas don’t hold up. This one smells fresh, doesn’t irritate my skin (huge win), and although I usually reapply in the afternoon or before going out, it still outperforms every other option I’ve tried.
It’s free of aluminum, baking soda, and synthetic fragrance — and actually works.
🍋 Boka Lemon Lavender Nano-Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste
If you’re not on the nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste train yet, it’s time. It’s a safe, effective alternative to fluoride that actually rebuilds enamel and supports gut health.
This one tastes like a lemon sugar cookie, is weirdly refreshing, and is safe to swallow — because it’s made with vitamins and minerals. My whole family uses it.
I’ll keep sharing the things that help me feel a little more grounded — from everyday wellness staples to the products making motherhood with two little ones just a bit easier. Whether it’s the gear I’m relying on for life with a baby and toddler, my current go-to’s for skin and sanity, or the things I find myself constantly recommending to friends, this space is where it all lives.
If there’s something specific you’re curious about — from postpartum care, baby must-haves, or even what’s keeping my toddler entertained these days — feel free to reach out. I’m not here to gatekeep the good stuff 💛
Enjoy & thank me later! 😜
