- Herbal Tea Variety Pack: this pack comes with about 5 or 6 different tea flavors. I have only tried out one of them so far. Since it's summer and it's sooo ridiculously hot, I made some iced tea with it by putting some ice and water in a waterbottle and hanging the teabag off to the side for about 5 minutes. It was delicious and REFRESHING!
- Shaving Cream: I don't think I'll go back to buying shaving cream from the store again! This stuff was just awesome. It was thicker and creamier than the typical shaving cream that I would normally buy at the grocery store or at Wal-Mart. It also makes my skin feel softer afterwards and smells great!
- Ant-acid: I can't even begin to say how impressed I am with this. I never had any issues with heartburn before I got pregnant. Now, I have heartburn almost every day :(. So I've been taking Tums to relieve my heartburn. But I've noticed that I have to take at least 3 in order for it to go away. For those of you who have taken Tums before, they are pretty chalky and honestly, just not that tasty. With the eco-friendly antacid that I use, I only have to take one, tiny pill and my heartburn is resolved. I actually looked into the ingredient differences between Tums and my brand, and the Tums brand has aluminum hydroxide in it, which can cause constipation. The other brand does not. It has all-natural tummy-soothing ingredients like chammomile, fennel, and ginger.
- Cream-to-Powder Foundation: I really did not like this foundation. I am used to using Revlon's liquid foundation. The cream-to-powder foundation just had a different look to it than liquid foundation does after being applied. A friend of mine really likes this kind of foundation though, so she recommended it to me. If you already use a cream-to-powder foundation, you might like it as well. But I did not, so I exchanged it for some liquid foundation.
- Liquid Foundation: I like this foundation 10x better than the cream-to-powder foundation! I only have to use one pump and it covers my whole face. My Mom also commented that it looked more natural than the other foundation I had been using for years. She said that she could actually see the freckles on my face better! Some people might like to cover theirs up, but I've always thought that freckles were cute, so I am glad that I can show them off more wiht this make-up.
- Facial Cleanser + Toner: I have never really used a 2-in-one cleanser and toner. I've used the Clean and Clear Cleanser made by Johnson and Johnson before, but I didn't feel like it did a very good job. It smelled really good, but other than that, I wasn't too impressed. This facial cleanser and toner is great! I have noticed that my face feels sooo much softer and cleaner than it did before.
- Bath Oil: As many of you may already know from reading my previous blog post, I am trying this one out for my stretch marks. It has tea tree oil in it, which is great for it's healing properties. You're supposed to add a little bit to your bath water, but since I'm so tall, I don't take baths too often. So I've just been trying it out with my normal showering routine in the mornings. If you don't mind the smell of tea tree oil, I think that it is great. My skin feels softer after using it. As far as the stretch marks go, time will tell :).
- Mint Breath Spray: I actually bought this for my Mom because she wanted to try it out, so I've only used it once. But it was really nice tasting and made my mouth fresher! It was also fairly inexpensive. I don't normally carry around breath spray in my purse or anything, but it might be a good idea to have on hand before an interview or a date or something like that.
- Ibuprofen: I had some free money that the company gives me every month for this product. I actually haven't used it yet though because I have not looked into whether or not it is okay to take during pregnancy. I know that I am not supposed to take Tylenol, but I would be willing to bet that this product is safe just because this company is really good at making products that are pretty safe and natural no matter what. I also don't normally take pain relievers in general anyways unless I have a headache or something (I hardly ever get headaches though anyways, so I literally never use them). So when I do actually try it out, I will let you know!
