Well look at you. Growing a human. Casual.
There's a baby on the way. There's also the nausea, the exhaustion, the bladder that now apparently answers to nobody, and the endless opinions from people who weren't asked.
Pregnancy can be wonderful but it can also be a right bloody ordeal and while everyone's getting excited about the baby, someone thought you deserved a bit of attention too.
So this one's for you, the actual person doing all the work.
The Good Stuff...
GET UP & GLOW CAFFEINE-FREE TEA
Get Up & Glow is a caffeine-free herbal blend combining botanicals including hibiscus and rosehip with fresh fruit notes for a refreshing daytime drink.
It’s a simple little ritual for those moments when you fancy something uplifting without caffeine.
Because sleep is complicated enough already.
PINK & GREEN TIGER-STRIPE SLEEP MASK
Soft cotton, a blackout design and a very clear message: please don't talk to me, I'm having a nap. Bright enough to find in the bedside clutter, lovely for shutting the world out for a bit.
REVIVING PULSE POINT OIL
This handy 10ml rollerball blends grapefruit, lemon, neroli and peppermint essential oils.
The manufacturer describes the blend as having been created with pregnancy in mind and states that the product is suitable for use throughout pregnancy.
Use the rollerball on your pulse points as directed, rub into your wrists and inhale the scent.
Small enough for your handbag.
Handy enough to keep close when you’re out and about.
COSY COSMETICS LIP BALM
A little everyday care for your lips, because your body is busy enough growing an entire human without your mouth joining in the drama.
SMUG LAVENDER WHEAT WRAP
A soft lavender wheat wrap designed to be used warm or chilled. A little comfort for when your body is working overtime.
Check the product instructions and your maternity team's guidance before using heat or cold during pregnancy.
PROBABLY FULL OF EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE TOTE
For snacks, water, appointments, ginger sweets and all the random things you suddenly can't leave the house without.
Growing a baby apparently requires quite a lot of luggage.
QUEASY DAYS GINGER GINS
Ginger sweets containing vitamin B6, intended for queasy days. Small enough to keep handy.
Follow the packet guidance and check with your maternity team before use, especially if you're taking pregnancy supplements.
ONE LAST THING...
You don't have to love every minute of pregnancy.
You can be excited about the baby and thoroughly fed up with what your body's putting you through.
Both are perfectly reasonable, and while everyone else is busy thinking about the tiny human, we hope this reminds you that you're pretty bloody important too.
With love,
A LITTLE PRACTICAL NOTE...
Lovely things still come with instructions.
Please read the packaging before using anything in your box, including ingredients, allergens, warnings and usage guidance.
These are comfort and everyday-care products, not medical treatments. If you're unsure whether something is suitable for you, particularly during pregnancy, recovery or medical treatment, please check with your healthcare professional first.
When in doubt, check it out.
YOUR INBOX COULD USE LESS SHIT.
Honest chat, the hard bits, the awkward bits and the things we all discuss on WhatsApp but apparently not in public.
Plus new boxes, useful finds and whatever we currently have opinions about.
