February 11 Product Recommendations
Crib mattress: Our Safety 1st Heavenly Dreams Mattress is GreenGuard Gold-certified and has held up wonderfully over the almost-five years we’ve had it (we used it for Charlie and now use it for Azelie).
Black velvet blazer that isn’t too oversized: This classic blazer from J. Crew is still available in a few sizes, or try this one from Draper James–the cut looks very tailored and feminine, as opposed to boxy/menswear-inspierd!
Sheets: These are my favorite sheets we own! Can’t beat a $60 price tag for a king-sized set :)
Body wash: This is my all-time favorite clean body wash (it smells amazing and feels so luxurious), but when I don’t want to spend that much, I like this one.
Comfy masks: These $11 floral masks are the only ones I wear! I’ve received SO many messages from readers over the last year that they love them too.
Healthy coffee creamer: My favorites are Califia Farms’ almond mild creamers, especially their fall/winter seasonal flavors. The rest of the year, I love Coffee Mate Natural Bliss Oat Milk creamer in vanilla. They both do have sugar in them, so I only use a little bit!
Valentine’s gift ideas for kids: For smaller holidays, we usually just take the opportunity to grab something we need for the kids/know we’ll need soon! For Valentine’s Day, we got this personalized placemat for Charlie and this pink water bottle (our favorite for her age!) for Azelie. If you like the placemat idea and want to make it happen in time for Sunday, check out the printable placemat designs from Fernandina Paper Co.
Nursing-friendly Mass outfits: Shirtdresses are perfect for nursing, but look classic and polished no matter what season of life you’re in, so they’re always a staple for me! Here are a few of my favorites I’ve seen online recently: classic chambray, Liberty floral, light blue and white striped midi, light blue gingham midi, black linen
Laundry detergent: EverSpring laundry detergent in Free & Clear works well and doesn’t bother my sensitive-skinned kids!
Cute baby girl clothes for everyday wear: About 75% of Azelie’s clothes are from H&M–they have such cute pieces that don’t break the bank/aren’t too precious to worry about ruining on a daily basis :) They run big, so size down! I also love perusing the baby girl clothes on sale at Zara, Mini Boden, Hanna Andersson, Smocked Auctions, and Janie & Jack.
A wireless bra: This is my current favorite! (Here is the non-nursing version.)
Must-have skincare product: Oooh, how to choose? I’ll go with One Love Organics’ Easy Does It cleanser, since it’s the one thing I might never swap for a different product. I’ve been using it for maybe six years now?
Favorite toner: I just finished a bottle of Beautycounter Countermatch Hydra-Gel Radiance Toner and am ordering another one!
