Spazzy About Stretch Marks

Yes, it's probably super neurotic to buy organic lotion.  But when so many things can go wrong, why not make choices that you won't regret?  I'm an "err on the side of caution" person when it comes to pregnancy.  And beyond the organic status of Spoiled Mama products, the tummy butter is so thick and creamy; I can still feel it in the evening.  The fragrance isn't anything to write home about, but that's because there's nothing artificial in it, and that makes me happy.

(Mostly) Chemical Free Nail Polish

With chronic illness, there are so many things we can't control.  So whenever I can choose the most healthful, natural (read: risk-free) routes, I do.  However, I'm not ready to wear natural deodorant or forgo nail polish if I don't have to.  And I'm so grateful to Priti NYC for creating beautiful nail polish that doesn't have all those chemicals we're warned against: toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DHB) and formaldehyde.  It's as nice as Essie (yes, seriously), so I'll continue using it even after baby arrives.  You can also buy polish remover from Priti NYC, but it's a tiny amount for a not-so-tiny price.

If you're bothered by the smell of normal polishes, unfortunately these still have fumes.
