Pregnancy and Beauty Products

If you were reading the first post about pregnancy , you are waiting for this home made Stretch mark cream recipe!

Ingredients: 

I ordered some oils from this Etsy Shop

You will need Apricot, Wheat Germ, Sesame Oil - make sure it;s pure and organic!

Vitamin E Oil ( any good pharmacy will carry it)

Sorbolene cream ( I use the one from Enya) 

Natural Beeswax ( ordered it from a local organic shop) - try organic markets!

Essential oil ( I have three sent that I like and it did not change during the pregnancy - lavender, lemon grass and  peppermint) 

DIY!

Melt the wax pebbles  in a water bath ( simmer- take your time!) 

When the wax is completely melted,  add slowly the oils- first the Apricot, Sesame and last the Wheat Germ- ( wheat germ oil is very strong- don;t use as much if you find the smell strong!) 

After that I added 4 TbS Vitamin E Oil

Stir it slowly and let it cool down a bit before you add the Sorbolene Cream - Fold the cream gently into the oil - Colour yellow/peach

Once you are satisfied with the consistency and the cream is not very liquidly, add the scent of your choice! 

I use all the oil I orders ( 4oz per oil) and half a bottle of sorbolene cream plus at least 300g of wax! 

I used a large quantity because I wanted to make a lot of cream to last during the whole pregnancy! 

I was watching this video and changed a bit the recipe! ( I left the vanilla out- since I don;t like the smell at the moment.) 

DEODORANT : I recommend QV since I can;t use Dove any more! 

I still use Love Spell  Mist ( I spray it on top of my clothes) 

When it comes to MAKEUP- I use it rare now and if it has to be organic! 

BALMS :

I use balms to massage my tired feet and back. 

My favourites are Zandu Balm and Afitson Balm

It relaxes your muscles. 

XOXO,
