February Favorites

Beauty

1 | MAC Eyeliner (Rich Experience) is the only makeup I've been wearing. I don't fill in my brows or apply mascara since getting my lash/brow tint six weeks ago, but I do like a little eyeliner when I'm leaving the house. This subtle brown shade is perfect for everyday.

2 | Essie Sugar Daddy Nail Polish was my wedding polish so I had to repurchase when I noticed it at Target. I've been wearing this color for the past month. It's a good neutral shade for Spring and prevents me for picking at my nails or biting them (horrible habit).

3 | The Body Shop Raspberry Body Butter is back! I was obsessed with this scent a couple years ago. It was discontinued last year and I'm so happy it's back. I stocked up when I was shopping their site and then I found it at TJMaxx (for $6!) - my supply should last a good six months now.

4 | Tony Moly Sheet Masks are the first sheet masks I've tried and I'm impressed. They look ridiculous while you're wearing them, but my skin has never felt more soft or hydrated after taking these masks off. This combo pack from Amazon is a steal!

5 | Verb Leave-In Mist has been a lifesaver lately. My hair seems to be getting more coarse and knotted since giving birth. This detangles and smooths my hair when used with a Wet Brush. My hair is much more manageable and less painful to brush now.

Fashion

1 | Gilligan & O'Malley Robe is featured in nearly every photo of Evie and I. I can't stop wearing this robe. It's soft and comfortable and easy access for nursing. I really love this color for Spring and the price is unbeatable.

2 | Gilligan & O'Malley Bralette is not marketed as a nursing bra, but it's perfect! The fabric is so soft and breathable and the v-neck is perfect for breastfeeding. Shopping for nursing bras has been a nightmare - they're all unflattering and expensive! I'm so happy with this purchase. Now I need more colors!

3 | Ugg Scuffette II Slippers were on my Christmas list, but I never got them. Nordstrom was always sold out of the chestnut color. I was still searching for them in February so when Zappos had them in stock I had to act quickly. They've been a wardrobe staple during maternity leave.

4 | Nike Tech Fleece Hoodie is expensive for a hoodie, but so worth it! Brady couldn't believe I spent $100 on a sweatshirt, but he's come around since I've worn it nearly everyday since I got it. I really like the length - the back is longer and covers the bum.

5 | Lululemon Align Pants are the most comfortable yoga pants and I've been wearing them every time I leave the house since giving birth. Sadly, I still can't fit in my pre-pregnancy jeans so I've been in Lululemon for the past month.

Miscellaneous

1 | MaraNatha All Natural Almond Butter is the best almond butter I've tried. Way better than Justin's Almond Butter in my opinion. It doesn't separate and really doesn't need to be stirred. I also prefer the taste. Almond butter and honey on toast has been my go-to snack.

2 | Mrs. Meyer's Lavender Daily Bar Soap is creamy, hydrating, and lathers really well. Plus, it smells great! My mom bought this when she was here and now I'm hooked. I've also been impressed with all the cleaning products I've tried from this brand... add this to the list.

3 | WaterWipes are not just baby wipes. They are so universal. We use them all the time to clean her hands and face (she spits up a lot) and I use them after pumping. Plus, they are all natural - 99.9% water. No issue with diaper rash yet.  

4 | Love by Lana Del Rey has been on repeat the past couple weeks. I have a nursing playlist for Evie and I, but lately we've just been listening to this on a loop during our feedings. I'm not usually a fan of Lana Del Rey so this favorite really surprised me.

5 | DockATot Deluxe Dock is a favorite for Evie and I. She sleeps in it (in her crib) every night, but we also use it throughout the day for naps and playtime. It's nice to move it around the house and will be really convenient for travel.
