I’ve always been intentional about what I eat and use on my skin, but pregnancy can feel especially limiting. The following is my current daily go-to for pregnancy-safe skincare and haircare.
This gentle cleanser has a strong peppermint-y scent that is a kick in the pants (in the best way possible). I love how it wakes up my skin leaving me refreshed.
An extremely lightweight facial oil that nourishes and leaves my skin feeling well-hydrated.
I originally bought this tallow for my daughter, however I now keep a large jar available for the both of us. I use it on my face after applying the Wonder Serum. This tallow is also amazing for dry winter skin, which tend to develop on the top of my hands.
This duo is genuinely one of the best natural shampoo and conditioners that I have tried - and I have tested a lot of natural haircare products. I don't think I love the yuzu scent, but it's light and I can ignore it since the products work so well.
Salts of the Earth is the best body scrub and what I credit to preventing stretch marks from my first pregnancy. It's an end-of-shower ritual that I don't skip.
This oil is light and smells absolutely lovely. I use it on my belly after-shower for an additional boost of moisture and to prevent stretch marks.
Tea time with my wee witch and handsome vampire.
I made her dress from cotton linen and her witches hat from deadstock silk. The pattern I used is from Isee Fabric and I modified it so that I didn't need to add a lining and I included a peter pan collar.
The local pumpkin patch on film. We ate doughnuts, became lost in the hay maze, jumped in piles of corn, ran around to our heart's content, and picked out the best assortment of pumpkins.

My daughter absolutely loves Winnie the Pooh and while we endeavor to be as sustainable as possible in our home, I didn’t want to purchase a stuffed animal made from synthetic materials unless it was vintage. Since I was unable to find what I was looking for and I refuse to buy plastic where possible, I endeavored to create my own stuffed Eeyore.
I used Claire Garland's knit pattern and I paired Purl Soho’s Paintbrush Mohair yarn and Cashmere Merino Bloom yarn so that Eeyore is fuzzy and soft. The yarns were thicker than my pattern called for but I wanted my version to be larger than the finished product as noted in the pattern. I didn’t want many knit holes to show through so I sized down in needle size.
Eeyore was stuffed with natural wool from Mountain Meadow Wool and a little button was added to the top of his tail. He did have a pink wool bow but it was too tempting for little hands to pull off.

I recently made two hot water bottle covers and used Purl Soho’s Warm Wishes pattern. The two yarns I used were Vinter Wool in Green Patina and Knitting Yarn DK in Pine Needle. Both we’re really enjoyable to work with and the pattern was quick and makes a nice gift. The first cozy was accidentally knit too tight around the neck so I adjusted when making the second and made sure to keep my knits nice and loose.
