clean living// products and practices

this has been such a special time and i have been soaking up every minute! i’m officially over the 1ST-TRIMESTER hump, which honestly included quite a bit of consistent (and unbearable at moments) nausea and exhaustion for me.

so many of you have been so sweet to reach out over instagram and email with kind notes for jase and i, offering such helpful advice for different aspects of pregnancy. it has been so heart-warming and we cannot thank you enough!

as y’all know, i am committed to always finding the most natural and clean methods for self-care, and this journey has included no less! so many of you have been asking, so i wanted to share with you my personal life-saving clean PRODUCTS and PRACTICES that helped me fight nausea and exhaustion in my first trimester.

FOR THOSE OF YOU who have been experiencing a variety of other symptoms, or maybe none at all, this is for you too! i think these practices will be beneficial for boosting energy and finding extra moments of calm in the midst of such a wild and fun journey, no matter where you are.
