I'm long overdue for a "products I love" post. I like to use products for at least several weeks before reporting back on them, so I'm excited to share some new and tried and true favorites in today's post. In this post, I'm sharing some recent skin and body favorites (and I have an upcoming hair favorite post too!) I'm somewhat limited ...

Pregnancy Skin Care: My Updated Skincare Routine
Before we started trying to conceive, I stopped taking antibiotics for my acne (I had only used them for about 2 months or a little less---you can read about that here).
