Yummy Mummy Skin Care and Beauty
Here are some excellent natural and organic skincare and beauty products I discovered when pregnant.
I simply can’t live without these, even now as a Mummy!
Pregnancy Skin Care
If you want some real pampering when pregnant using natural and organic skincare products, so as not to absorb any dangerous chemicals through the layers of your skin, try the brilliant range of Trilogy Skincare products.
Trilogy is a New Zealand company who use organic Rosehip Oil, renowned for it’s restorative and anti-ageing properties. Trilogy do not test on animals.
As an added bonus, I was lucky enough to get through my pregnancy without one single stretch mark to show for the 9 months (+2 weeks!) of my gradually blooming tummy.
I put my luck down to the regular use of Trilogy products, gently rubbing Trilogy 100% Natural Certified Organic Rosehip Oil over my expanding belly, which helped to prevent stretch marks and was a wonderful way to bond with my growing baby as I talked to her at the same time (she thought it was marvelous having a gentle daily massage and rewarded me with plenty of little kicks and punches)!
I like to use the Everything Balm as a body moisturiser, it smells divine!
I still use Trilogy 100% Natural Certified Organic Rosehip Oil as a facial oil during winter to keep my skin moisturised and the Trilogy Everything Balm is multi-purpose so worth carrying around in your pram bag!
I’m so glad I used Trilogy products when I was pregnant, I couldn’t have done without them – and they’re such great value.
Yummy Mummy Skin Care
With my new baby cradled in my arms and pressed closely against my bosom, the last thing I wanted to do was to transfer chemical-laden creams, potions and lotions onto her delicate skin. I decided I had to go completely chemical-free and discover the joys of organic, natural skin care.
I feel ethereal for making a choice that benefits myself, my baby, the environment and Green People products are not tested on animals. Can it get any better than this?
Green People make everything you could wish for, at a fraction of the cost of many other skincare brands. I highly recommend these products which I use as part of my daily beauty regime.
The Best Baby Mobile
When I was pregnant I searched relentlessly for the best baby mobile. I had a long list of criteria for my baby’s mobile.
I was looking for the best baby mobile I could buy. I wanted a mobile that would easily and safely attach to my baby’s cot with stimulating characters and classical music.
My friend recommended the East Coast Sweet Island Dreams Mobile
- suitable for baby from birth
- easily attaches to baby’s cot
- plays soothing classical music
- rotates with colourful characters
- helps baby sleep peacefully with the night light for comfort
- plays 3 classical tunes and an island theme
- provides stimulating entertainment
- has a calming night light
- allows parents to use a remote control to turn the music and light on or off without going into baby’s room so as to not disturb a sleeping baby
- encourages baby to follow the characters while listening to music
It’s well known that classical music enriches your baby’s cognitive and emotional development. We enjoy listening to classical music every night as our baby is drifting off into a blissful sleep.
Healthy Eating for Families
As a Nutritional Advisor I’m passionate about healthy eating, nutrition, organic produce and getting back to nature.
Food should be fun, natural and fresh. Healthy eating ensures you get all the right nutrients from your food to provide you with the best possible health and wellbeing.
Riverford is my favourite choice for fresh, organic produce. There’s a fantastic selection of organic produce including veg, fruit, meat, cheese, bread, dairy and more. There’s free delivery on all of Riverford’s fruit, veg and meat box orders. Riverford grow their own and deliver only the best fresh organic produce across the UK.
My baby is in the process of weaning and we’re having great fun experimenting with fruit and veg. It’s hugely entertaining watching the expressions she makes as she tries something new, or if my latest recipe doesn’t taste quite as she expected! One of the great joys of being a parent is helping my baby learn about good nutrition, healthy eating and living well.
Riverford Organics have just launched their brand new iPhone app, with over 770 searchable recipes – inspired by their Field Kitchen restaurant and the recipes they write for their organic vegboxes. Check it out Riverford iPhone App.
Riverford are currently giving away a free copy of their bestselling book Riverford Farm Cook Book RRP £16.99 when you order one of their brilliant veg boxes.
The Riverfood Farm Cook Book is full of original recipes and is a wonderful companion to your veg box, providing delicious recipes to bring out the best in your veg box.
