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,
Lorena
PS: I miss my perfumes and nail polish!
