amazing Amazon finds

Hey Amazon shoppers! Welcome to a fun little post filled with some of my fav products and a link associated to make your shopping as easy as pie! Amazon has really impressed me with some of their skincare options, items and tools. Which is why I am here to share with you some of my favs! Please be mindful with other products you see on Amazon. For example, I do not recommend buying the skincare we retail in clinic on amazon. As they are not proper distributors of the brands. This means the products could be counterfit, expired, or many other things. As a proper distributor of our brands (iS Clinical, Hydrinity, Elta MD SPF for example) we can not and will not stand by the results when purhased off of amazon.

In this blog you will find me featuring amazon finds from my own beauty routines, what I use in clinic as a business owner and some of my favourite skincare books that have taught me so much! In addition to all things skincare, I have links to the few home organization, home decor, travel items, fashion finds, bridal finds, and all stuff baby too! If getting married and having a little one has taught me anything, it is share all your bridal information and favourite child items as much as possible!! Oh and one last addition...Frankie also wanted to leave a few of his favourite things for you to shop, he felt left out. So you will even find a few of our Frankie Favourites.

Happy shopping, I hope you find some favourites amongst mine!

My Beauty Routines & Products

Diving right into a few of my own home routines that I love and often recommend. Some of these items, techniques and tools are even used in clinic room!

Icing your face has never been easier and more convenient. Choose your weapon! There are so many great options. I will list them here for you and you can choose what you think suits you and your routine most. Stainless Steel Rollers: We use these in clinic. Cooling, easy to use, affordable, clients love them and super easy to clean and disinfect properly between clients. These are a great option if you are a skin practioner who is looking for a simple technique and an affordable tool to enhance your facials and take results to another level. This is also great if there is intention to share these with members of the family. Again, the ease of properly cleaning these rollers makes this a shareable tool.

Plantifique Stainless Steel Facial Roller: This is the same concept as the stainless steel rollers. Instead of two individual handhelds, this is one hand held roller that easily rolls and glides on the skin.The stainless steel head is removable which is great for that proper cleaning and disinfecting between uses, especially if this is a sharable product. Refillable Ice Roller: Similar to the Ice globes but this option is refillable! This is something you have to plan ahead and use and always keep in your freezer. This is applying ice directly to your skin instead of a cool stainless steel hand held. This little guy is small enough to be packed up and taken with you if you jet off somewhere. A simple routine hack that is a simple pack! This option is one I dont recommend sharing. However, it is affordable, so that multiple could be purchased and each family member could have their own colour!

Facial Cupping Set: Facial cupping serves the skin in beautiful ways with multiple benefits. If you are finding your skin to have a dull complexion, chronic puffiness, dark, saggy under eyes and your face feels swollen and bloated; facial cupping is a great option for you. Facial cupping is also a great solution to help treat any fine lines or wrinkles, lift and contour the face; it truly is a way to tackle healthy aging in a natrual simple way. Another way facial cupping can be beneficial is to be implemented if you find you have congestion or blemishes. Cupping is great to help drain lymphatic and deal with inflammation.

Portable High Frequency Device: High frequency serves many benefits from reducing the appearance of pore size, reducing oil production, shrinking blemishes and healing in fast time. High frequency will also improve overall skin texture, minimizing fine lines and wrinkles as well as deeper penetration of products further into the skin. High Frequency can also help with hair growth, postpartum hair loss, minimizing danrdriff, body tightening and reduction of skin texture such as cellulite! This one may be more expensive than other options you see on Amazon. Here is why I went this route, even with the price difference. 1. I wanted a device that had BOTH Neon & Argon. This gives me the flexibility and variety to take advantage of all that high frequency is capable of doing. Neon is best for skin texture, skin tightenting and hair growth. Argon is best for oil control, blemish reduction and overall skin healing. 2. I wanted the variety of wands, especially the hair comb and the body/ neck contour attachment.

3. This device had the most positive reviews (and most reviews in general)

Pimple Patches: If you know me, you know I swear by spot treatments! Pimple Patches are another way to treat blemishes! You can use these as you feel or see a blemish. Simply and easily cover the blemish and leave it there for the day if you are working from home or it can be apart of your night time routine and leave them on as you sleep. You can apply one or as many as your skin needs! They are like pimple bandaids! This is also great because if pimples are covered, you are less likely to pick! So you can tell I'm in support of this. These Pimple Patches work by covering the inflamed spot while the hydrocolloid helps absorb bacteria and reduce further growth!

Eucerin Aquaphor: The product is incredibly beneficial for compromised, sensitive skin. I use this on my daughters contact dermatitis and it helps significantly. This product is also recommended to use for 2-4 days post Morpheus8! Don't have this in your routine to heal your skin post Morpheus8? Purchase here and experience even better healing and relief!

NOW Pure Jojoba Oil : There is so much fear in regards to oils,especially when talking skincare. We must remember that natural oils are safe and beneficial! Synthetic oils are the oils to avoid. Jojoba oil is an oil I have been using for years as an option for my chest and face massages during our facials! I also love to add some oil if my skin is dry or sensitive, especially during our dry winter months. I find adding a little facial oil so soothing and hydrating. Now Pure Jojoba oil is the oil I use when doing any facial cupping, gua sha or facial massage. In terms of Jojoba oil specifically this is a great option because its hypoallergenic, it promotes collagen synthesis, controls sebum production, it is non comedogenic, it is moisturizing, anti bacterial and an antioxidant. In addition, jojoba oil is the closest oil to the skins natural oil secretion. Because of all these wonderful benefits this is the oil I use on my daughter's skin to keep nourished and balanced, especially after her baths.

NOW Grape Seed Oil : Mirroring what was mentioned above, this massage oil compliments what was previously said. However, they share a few different benefits. Grape seed oil is great for all skin types, especially sensitive skin and those with blemish prone skin. Grape seed helps balance free radicals and balances pH- which means it helps treat bacteria and is hydrating. Grape seed is naturally antimicrobial which means it inhibits or slows the spread of harmful microorganisms; hence its importance and effectiveness in helping with acne/blemish prone skin.

Dry Brush: Dry brushing is a popular and great trend right now, so here is your link to hop on the trend and treat your body! Great for exfoliating dead skin, improving smooth healthy radiant body skin, fights cellulite and encourage some sexy lymphatic drainage! Great to do before the shower and especially in those cool winter months! I’m always down for a good price for a good product and of course for a trend that I can actually support.

I love my microfibre face towels. I am a huge fan of a gentle and effective way to remove makeup and to pat the skin dry. I retail microfibre towels in clinic, but I know there are a few options people like - shop them there!

4Pk Erase your Face Microfibre cloths: These are the ones we retail in clinic. I personally have MULTIPLE at home, that way I never run out! I use one for two nights and then reach for a fresh clean one! I love the size of these ones!

Clean Skin Club Disposable Towelettes: Use as you would any face cloth and feel the luxury. Remoes makeup incredibly well and dries the skin in a gentle maner. Cut them in half if you dont feel like you need the full size!

For my Fellow Aestheticians, Beauty Therapist & Business Owners!

Hey esti-bestie! I hope some of these recommendations are helpful for you in your clinic and to offer to clients. I love spreading the word and sharing my fav things, so here we are!

As I outline these for aestheticians, I realize these totally can be for at home if you want a really luxurious set up! I know my dream bathroom has all kinds of tools and equipment, so professional or not, these can could be for you!

Alright, back to Amazon Shopping!

The Tools:

Skincare Mini Fridge: This is an item I don't have in my bathroom currently, but it is in my dream bathroom (cue the vision board). We use it in clinic to reduce heat in our sensitive skin clients and of course for those Treat•ments that can be a bit spicy. Using a roller, serum, sheet mask or eye gels that have been in the fridge is next level. If you know, you know! Mom Hack: I had one of these in my daughters nursery when she was a new born. This saved me from multiple trips to the kitchen fridge for a bottle in the middle of the night. Game changing!

3 PC Bottle Warmer: I love this tool for so many reasons! Like I had just mentioned I am all about luxury and doing the little things that are actually the big things. A 3 PC Bottle Warmeris just that. Heat up your massage oil so it's nice and warm for the client (it is relaxing just thinking about it). I also fill one of the bottles with water so that the facial water I use is always warm.This also saves time in-between clients because the water is refiled and ready for the next. I also use this for my ultrasound gel for when I do laser. Clients ALWAYS comment about the warmth, its a nice little unexpected treat. See, it's the little things that add to the wow factor. This is a simple secret to make your clinic and services stand out!

Stress Balls: Smiling faces makes everything better! Sometimes a stress ball is needed for some comfort or even distraction. If you offer services like laser hair removal, morpheus8, IPL, microneedling or do extractions you know exactly what I am talking about. My clients love a little stress ball. The smile doesn’t hurt either… although often times it’s covered up with a glove. The glove is just an easy way to discard and keep the stress ball clean. Wiping it with disinfectant wipes all the time breaks down the coating and fabric. But with a pack with this many, sometimes that doesn’t matter!

Creating the Cozy:

Twin Duvet: Creating the table to be extra cozy is a big goal of mine. I personally love being covered in fluff, with super soft things around me and even some weight is good; So, naturally thats my goal with the clinic table. This Twin Duvet is a lovely option, especially if a weighted blanket is not the clients preference. Give me allllll the cozy possible! PS. The table (AKA "bed") is one thing almost all my clients comment on... so I must be doing something right!

Twin Duvet Cover: Having white things in the clinic look clean and sharp, but yes they get dirtier easier with oils and masks and all the fun stuff! This is why having a Twin Duvet Cover for the duvet itself is important! Remove the cover and clean that! It keeps the Twin Duvet in great condition longer and it makes for easier clean up! It’s one thing to have the coziest treatment room, but its another to have a sanitary clean one!

3 Piece Set, Massage Table Flannel Sheets: I LOVE this 3 piece set! I was so happy when I saw it, anxious for it to meet my expectations when I ordered it and thrilled when I received it! This is absolutely a must have and a highly recommended package deal for all my clinic owners!

6 Pack Body Best Fitted Massage Table Sheets: Sheets are constantly on rotation in my clinic so I have many many many sets! Fitted sheets we use on all our tables so I always have extras of these! A fluffy cozy vibe makes all the difference!

Massage Table Warmer: This deserves a 5 star rating. If you are looking for ONE simple way to make your table that much cozier, this is it. It is SO simple and EVERYONE will comment! I turn mine on at the beginning of my day and the only time I tamper with it is if someone asks me to turn it down or turn it off. In the winter (especially Canadian winters) this does not go unnoticed let me tell you. In the summer I still have it on (for some clients), believe it or not! I just have the settings super low. This Massage Table Warmer brings your service up a star without even touching the client.They know you mean luxury just as they crawl in.

Velcro Head Bands: I use these in professional settings, but truth be told they are handy when doing your home routine! Not a bad thing to have on hand! Especially it being a pack of 3! Great deal for work and for home!

Consumables / Disposables:

Disposable Round Multi-colour Facial Sponges: Although I would prefer them to be white (which can be found, it just depends if you want to pay for it) I recommend this package of multi colour sponges because the pricing is amazing for the quality and how many you get. So if it has to be a little off brand to save a few bucks... I do. Plus, I am not even sure the clients notice or care! Here is the link to my at this moment favourite Disposable Round Multi-colour Facial Sponges. This is a link that might change periodically. I truly look for a good deal, I look at how many are in the one package and compare pricing.

Disposable Lip Applicators: Of course there are many uses for these little guys, I find these are always important to have on the cart or in storage. Again, love the quality, quantity and price. Yes you can go super cute with these and match your colours or get sparkly sticks and yes those are super cute, I am a gal that loves sparkle; but this is another item I go for practicality over cute-ness (which doesn't happen often if I am being honest) I personally try and splurge for the cuteness and on brand for the things clients really see and experience! That’s just me though, if you are going for all on brand you go! Same deal with the Disposable Lip Applicators as theDisposable Round Multi-colour Facial Sponges facial sponges. Compare your cost per use to see what is budget friendly! The link here is the one I very frequently choose over other deals I see!

Gauze: Often something as simple as these can be an esti-bestie! Even clients can comment “ooh ,what is that its so soft” and your magic answer can be as simple as Gauze! It’s funny how a consumable like this can be so loved! It could even be used in home care to aid in makeup removal and cleansing if desired so!

BIC Razors PKG 10: These are not the razors I recommend for home use or shower shaving. These are what I use before laser treatments. The area must be clean shaven before any laser treatment and sometime clients don't shave the area, so as an aesthetician providing this service having these on hand is super important!

Ultrasound Gel 5 Litres: We use ultrasound gel for laser hair removal and IPL in the clinic, so if you also do services that you need ultrasound gel, this is the one I always order. Great price, fast shipping, easy to store and stock and I love the size so it's easy to refill the little squeeze tubes.

Clinic Decor

6 Pack 5X7 White Picture Frames: These are great for a few spots in clinic that I want to put a nice photo, some word art, a promotional note or even some amazing pre and post results! These frames were just perfect for all these uses! Of course choose your size and your colour but having frames can be such an easy and personal touch! I am excited to share what I am using all mine for in clinic!

Hand Cream & Soap Dispensers: I quickly became obsessed with this look once I changed all the soap and cream dispensers in my house and in clinic. it just adds an element of class that is just so stunning. These of course are my work colours, which was a need because I LOVE to stay on brand! I have a set of these in each clinic room and the bathroom! Easy affordable step to look that much more intentional.

Keeping the Clinic Clean PREempt Wipes:These are the important wipes to be used in between clients. These wipes are great for all serfaces - clean, simple and disinfected just with a wipe. Approved by health Canada!So pass your inspection without any fears or hesitations.

Toilet Bowl Cleaner Pucks: The name says it all. An easy way to keep the clinic clean. Of course this does not take over my full bathroom clean, but boy does it help the daily maintenance. I can't see why these wouldn't be suitable for home too!? I was so focused on work I forgot about home... I think that may have just changed!

House Organization

I am no Marie Kondo but I do love a good organization hack and or gadget! One of my favourite things to do lately is purge my house (and clinic) and then create new systems with sexy organization so that its easy to maintain and looks good always! If you are like me, then maybe some of these links will ease your mind and keep things organized! Mmm, sexy!

8 Pack Velvet Jewelry Organizer: One of the ways I am decluttering is going through even the small things like my jewelry drawer, getting rid of things of course but also cleaning the jewelry and setting it up in an organized easy appealing fashion. Already doing this has me excited to wear some jewelry pieces I forgot about. Win win!

8 x 5 x 1.75 Inch Clear Plastic Storage Containers (12pk) : Weirdly, I have so many craft supplies, markers, pencil crayons, stickers you name it. Its like I have four children or am a preschool teacher; neither are true. Anyways, I use these containers as one way to keep things organized. I love clear because I can see what is inside!

Delicate Laundry Bags: Ok, I have two wonderful options for you! My mom is THE LAUNDRY QUEEN, (amongst many other things) but this lady and her laundry skills are next level. I swear I would have the same underwear and t-shirts now as I did in grade 5 if I never grew and she continued to do my laundry. This is how impressive she is with laundry. I started doing my own many years ago and recently I just became incredibly fed up with ruining everything and things just not being like how she did them. I thought over time my skill level would just develop... little did I know there are some serious secrets to laundry doing. These are one of her many secrets! I started usng delicate laundry bags for those shirts I love or those fluffy sweters or whatver else I have been ruining like crazy and immediately my life was changed. THESE ARE A MUST HAVE especially when trying to navigate adulting!

Option 1: 2 pack of honeycomb mesh laundry bags

Option 2: 3 Pack of honeycomb mesh laundry bags

Acrylic Sunglass Organizer (2 Pack): Once I ordered my first set, I immedielty ordered two more! These were exactly what I wanted for one of my drawers in our new IKEA wardrobe! PERFECTION! Clean, organized, elegant and they don't move when the drawers open and close.

4 Pack Bedsheet Organizing Containers: While I nest, I am finding that I want the house to be SUPER organized. Like every drawer, every closet and every corner NEEDS its own organizational system... When I saw this my jaw hit the floor! A perfect, simple and tidy solution to all those loose sheets! These things make me so happy!

6 Pack Matte Black Cabinet Handles: I used these on our beautiful IKEA closet built ins! We covered a wall in our master room to do a wardrobe wall and I could not be more obsessed. Adding these handles gave such a modern luxury finish!

Skylight Digital Photo Frame: A perfect gift for those special people in your lives. We purchased this for the grandparents the first christmas we celebrated with our daughter. We send photos of our little Cami girl quite often and they love seeing them. This way we can upload them to the app and they can enjoy them, view them and share them! It is also great because other members of the family can also use the app and upload their own photos!! Bye to developing photos for the fridge! This option solves many issues! This is a 10" black frame! I even purchased a white one that sits on the front desk in clinic that show cases all of our amazing client results!

Skylight Digital Photo Frame: 10" White frame option. This white option is what I use for in my clinic! You may have seen it on our front desk displaying all our amazing promotions and client results!

Skylight Calendar: I have been singing this item's praise since we got it! It is modern looking, clean and crisp organization and so easy to use! Trust me, if I can use it... you can use it! Not only is it a calendar but it has many features like to do lists, chore lists, grocery lists and more! I love that there is a physical stationary calendar AND an app. This way there is a digital calendar to view on the kitchen counter (or hung on the wall) but also can be viewed whereever you are! If you are out and appointments change or events get added they can be updated to the calendar immediately! Out at the grocery store? You dont have to worry about forgetting the grocery list on the fridge! We love this calendar and it has me feeling all kinds of fufilled, organized and prepared! Everyone I know who has this, swears by it!

Silicone Baking Cups: This is more of an item that I needed one day baking muffins, the paper muffin wraps can be super cute and great for going to an event, or for your kids birthday to bring to school; you know somewhere you don’t need to collect the cups back (haha) these are great for home baking and are environmental friendly, yay to less trash and more reusable items!

Pro Traveller Items

Air Tags: This one item can save your trip! Thankfully I have not had to use these yet.. I mean they have been in my luggage, but we have not had to track our luggage down. Now that I say this, I hope I am not jinxing myself... but I'll risk it just to share this item with you! Sometimes the peace of mind is worth the price! We use these every time we go away.

Travel Pillow: I ordered my husband the black one, and of course got the pink one for myself. These were such a staple for our honeymoon. With a flight to Greece and many layovers, this was something I was grateful to have! I even saw two other ladies with the same pillow... which tells you I am not the only one who would recomend this poillow! Oh and did I mention its memory foam! Funny quick story... after a long travel day, waiting for anoher flight... I was using this pillow and my husband pointed out I was using it upside down....embarrassed at first, but then I realized... it was comfy both ways!!! Sometimes using a pillow a different way can provide a new level of support and comfort! WIN WIN WIN! Here is a hilarious selfie to prove it all!

Compression Packing Cubes: If you are like me, you are not a light packer. I challenged myself to only bring a carry on for our honeymoon... truthfully I thought this was an impossible task until my cousin recommended these. Where have I been!? If you haven't heard of these either, I have just helped you save money since now you won't have to pay the $100 to check your bag! I seriously packed SO many option items in just a carry on by using these compression bags. I have lent these out to many friends and family and they are also a great go to gift!

Sun Protection / Woman's Visor: I have been looking for a cute visor for a while now... I finally stumbled upon this baby and I am excited to bring it on our trip! I love hats and have many options, but having a visor was one thing I didnt have... and I was desiring this so that on those days my hair is a mess or I want to keep it up and still look cute, fashionable but most importantly have SUN PROTECTION, I needed a visor. Nothing is worse than having to take your crazy dirty vacation hair down for your hat to quickly throw it up when you arent wearing your hat. IYKYK. This Visor is the answer and I am excited to upload some pics after this vacay! OH, and you'll see just how affordable it is!

Sun Protection / Mens Water Shirt: I truly never would have thought I would search for one of these for my husband or one for myself...I guess thats what age and being in the skincare world does to you? A long sleeve water shirt or long sleeve bikini top, I'm still on the search for, but this one for my husband is great! I got this for him before we went on a trip that he plans to do deep sea fishing, which means boating in the middle of the ocean for hours. This long sleeve mens water shirt will be one I recommend he wears a lot, even just on those summer days doing yard work. Plus he looks good in it, so I can't even be mad.

Water Bottle 40 OZ: I purchased this right before our honeymoon and I have been loving and using it ever since. It was the perfect water bottle for long travel days. Of course you empty it before getting checked but then can immediately fill it up. Since its 40 OZ it can hold a-lot of water which is also great to keep you hydrated through your travel days. It was perfect for the trip and our day excursions as well as now being home it's such a great grab for a busy day out! The bottom even has a little secret compartment for pills/vitamins and medications. This has served its purpose many times over! l personally purchased the purple and the green one!! This is in my to go bag all the time. I refill my daughters water bottle with it when out and about, I sip out of it when I need my thirst quenched and even the pill compartment comes out and becomes a little bowl that my dog drinks out of. It is so handy and used so well! I absolutely love the practicality, size and the price is better than in alot of stores!

Bride, Wedding and all the Things!

5x7 Gold Acrylic Sign or Photo Frames: These can be used in so many ways, we used them as part of our centre pieces! I love the simplicity yet modern vibe to these and they are perfect for future events to come! Use them for baby showers, bridal showers, birthday parties, retirement parties- truly any event you want cohesive and stylish these are a great option. Great quality, great quantity, great price! Happy event planning!

Floating Candles: So many venues these days dont allow open flame. It either has to be the battery powered lights and or floating candles that sit in water in a vase where the flame sits under the brim. This was the rule with our venue so this is the route I took. I used these for all my vases! Perfect size and I personally wanted white! I love it when I can find things I need and it can be shipped right to me! YAY saving gas money in this crazy economy and time during a busy wedding season!

Wood Hangers: This is for your details! Your photographer will likely ask you to have hangers that are not the white plastic kind... and you may think this is an inconvenience at first, but you will love it when you see the photos! It really does add an element of class and appeal that is timeliness for your photos! I purchased these ones I have linked here! If you are like me and want a bit of detail, you can write on them.. put stickers on them or whatever pinterest inspires you to do. I added pearl stickers that I got from the dollar store and hot glued them in place. I also then cut strips of tulle and tied a bow! Remove the bow and one side is completely plain and put the bow back on and you have a full detailed option!

PS. These photos are from my wicked photographer Maigan Cowen, if you dont have a photographer for your wedding yet, hit her up!

Bridal Shower Earrings :Cant decide if you want to go pearls or jewels? Don't choose one or the other! Choose both! I wore these earrings for my bridal shower, super elegant and bridal, but also a great option to have in your jewellery box for future fancy events!

Ear Lobe Support Patch: This is not your average amazon product recommendation. Definitely not one you'll see often I am sure. Crazily enough, this product was one I was SO excited to find and order. In high school once when playing flag football, I was tackled and somehow my earring was pulled aggressively and stretched my left earlobe. A weird "injury" from flag football, I know... but if thats the only injury I had to face, I was good with it... Since then, I have had to be super careful with what earrings I can wear. Truthfully,It's been annoying because I am a gal that loves changing up her jewellery and I am all about those fun costume accessories. Up until now I have rocked a saggy arlobe... why I did that? Well thats a great question. Why I wanted so long to order these Ear Lobe Protectors another great question. Regardless, here I am now sharing this exciting purchase since for my wedding a droopy earlobe and droopy earing was not the vibe I was going for. I have used these multiple times since my wedding day and often recommend these!!

Disco Bachelorette Outfit : Ok, this outfit deserves more than a minute! It is so cute, perfect for any sparkly theme night and is comfy so those disco dance moves are totally doable all night long! I wore this for one night on my bachelorette and I am already trying to create another party theme where I can wear it again. I ordered size small and the pants were a TAD too big, but with the sparkles everywhere using a safety pin at the back (inside) was incredibly forgiving and easy to do!!!

Vow Books: If you are like me, you likely don't want a phone or a random piece of printer paper up with you while you say you'r vows to each other. My husband and I wrote them and I wanted to make sure not only that they would look good in photos durng the ceremony but also for those detail photos. The other amazing thing is its a great little keep sake to have. I used the cream and green option as it went well with our colours!

Fashion Finds

UPF Mens Long sleeve shirt with Hood: As if something for my husband is my first amazon fashion success story. Besides hats and bathing suit covers, I have not had much luck with amazon clothing for myself (it since has changed). This is something he actually really likes, which I'm telling you does not happen often. My prerequisite on buying him anything is that it must be comfortable...his orders. It can be a challenge to find something I approve of thats comfy enough for him. Thank goodness this simple yet classic long sleeve worked! I cannot wait to share a photo of him in this. If you want your hunk to be delicious but cozy, add this to your cart and you both will be happy! It has Ultra Protection Factor 50, which is a bonus. I ordered him a size large and ordered "grey".

Waffle Knit T shirt & Short Lounge Set: Something about waffle knit always gets me. Especially, this cute t-shirt and short set. Perfect for being cute without trying! It says PJ's but I trott this number around the house and truthfully have even gone for walks and ran errends in this cutie. This was calling my name in so many ways, and I seriously have worn it a lot! I bet it's calling your name now too! I have found a lot of outfits sets I like on amazon have importing fee's and this one did not! What a score! I ordered a small in the colour Rosy and the brand is wkwmrpet. Even with a small, I wore this throughout my entire pregnancy (yes into the later months) and again, throughout postpartum.

Waffle Knit long sleeve & short Lounge Set: Cozy sets are such a must have in my life as of lately. I am all about being comfy and still feeling cute and trendy. Easy to wear, easy to style! Although, this is not a maternity specific set, I wore this set during my pregnacy and postpartum. Now as a mom eho is busy and home alot, this is an outfit you will catch me in quite a bit!

2 Set Button Up Lounge Wear & Bathing Suit Cover: I have been looking high and low for a set like this. Yes, I found something similar on previous sites in the past, but truly the price was outrageous and thats what stopped me! UNTIL I FOUND THIS LITTLE NUMBER!! Why have I wanted this so badly? Well first off, because I have been dying to add more colour to my wardrobe and this is bright pink, so its a yes from me! Secondly, is because this is a perfect vacation and beach set for a bathing suit cover!! The two items can be styled together or seperately and I am just alllllll about this set!!! The brand is Ekouaer. I got size small in the color Rose Red. But really had a hard time deciding between rose red and green!

V Neck, Sleeves-less Jump Suit: I think you have caught on by now, comfy and cute is the big vibe trending. This onesie I love because you can add a tank under it for summer, or a long sleeve or sweater for winter! Something about a jump suit or onesie, what ever you call it is just so effortless and easy! Hey pregnant ladies, this is a great option for you too! It is stretchy and baggy so it can be along for the journey as you continue to grow! I ordered a size small in the colour khaki. I was debating between that and green. I just felt the khaki would be more versatile and easier to style.

High Rise Women's Workout Pants: This material is more like the traditional workout pant, light to wear but does show every thing (AKA need seamless underwear). I purchased a small and I the hot pink! I wanted something more fun for my workouts and summer! I have so much black and grey in my closet I am really going for some more jazz in the wardrobe! I can see myself ordering other colours!

Yoga / Workout 2 Piece Set: I really like the material of this set, it is a bit thicker so we shall see how warm it gets flor the summer months, but so far I have really enjoyed wearing this cute little number! The bra is also flattering because it has a little bit of a cup, so it helps support shape and also hides the nipples! I would say it fits small! I even sized up for my growing pregnant belly (got medium) and its snug! I would recommend waring it around the house a time or two before waring it out as its quite tight and I wanted more wiggle room in the groin and butt area! I love how high the pants come up, especially to cover this little (or not so little) pregnancy belly! I can totally see myself ordering another set in a different colour (I first ordered the lavender light purple)

Multi-Coloured Cowl Neck Dress: I wore this to a good friends wedding and got SO many compliments! It was one of the comfiest dresses I have EVER worn especially to a wedding. Even at 6 months pregnant! I ordered a small and it was perfect!! Snug enough to show off the baby bump but loose enough to be flowy, comfy and to show the ribbing of the dress! I will be wearing this to baby showers, and other events! I am actually excited to style it with other shoes and purses! I found it SO easy to wear, style and put together a trendy outfit! Oh, and for the price! Unbeatable!! I did find that I had to be mindful when bending over with this dress, since the top is looser and more of a cowl neck you could see right now the dress, so just hold yourself in! I wore a strapless bra, and beige seem-less underwear and it was perfect!

Ribbed Maxi Dress: Another comfy dress option! I love that there are multiple colours to choose from. This was another dress that I wore one time and knew I would be ordering another colour. This is NOT a maternitiy dress but I ordered it when 8 months pregnant and it has been percect! I just went up in size and its been WONDERFUL! I also love that this will be an option I can have post baby! This was a recommendation by one of my besties and thank goodness for that! She shared it with me, so, here I am sharing it with you!

Short Sleeve button up long sleeve pants PJ set: Ultra soft PJ set! This set was actually recommended to me, and once I felt it I knew why! The fabrcc is so dreamy! I ordered black as another suggstion from a fellow momma. She used this set as part of her hospital bag for pre and post birth! So you bet, this is packed in my hospital bag too!

Frankie's Picks

Anxiety Snuggle Pup: This was something we got for Frankie when he was a little pup! I had read these were great at soothing them to sleep and for when you leave them alone. The battery heart rate mimics their old little mates and mom. I of course had to purchase one of these cute stuffed toys to ease Frankie (and my own) anxiety! Let's be honest the momma guilt is real. This has been a long time friend of Frankies! He recently lent it out to his new friend Rosie who also enjoys Humphrey (thats the name we gave the Anxiety Snuggle Pup... yes we are those people)

Variety Rope Play Pack: Play time is no joke in our house hold. Although Frankie is little, he is mighty! He likes this because a variety is always best for him. He loves a good toy change up. I have also been impressed because they have lasted quite some time! He is not delicate with his toys ill just say that!

Dog Poop Bags: No need for anything fancy, just all about the most bags for the best price! However, my dad seriously dislikes the smell of these bags... mom doesn't seem to mind as she has them in a drawer to mask the smell but dad is not a fan.

Premium Dog Bed as a Car Seat: Frankie here, this went on my wish list once my sister came into the picture. I still wanted to travel with my parents and join the fun, but with all her stuff and her big carseat my travel crate was not really convenient... this option also allows me to travel in serious comfort!

Baby On Board

Check the Pre Mama blog with an extensive list of items used specifcally for baby and mom life. Below here are just a FEW of many items I have purchased through amazon

Graco Slimfit LX 3-in-1- Car Seat: Grow with your family and use this safety seat! Also a great option for those grandparents who want one for their own vehicle! Hello safe and easy pick up!

Materna Prenatal Gummy Vitamins: From a recommendation I received, to my recommendation to you! Of course, asking your doctor, OB or midwife is always a great place to start! I found this prenatal to often be SOLD OUT at Shoppers and Rexall, so, if you are finding this to be the case for you as well, here's an easy convenient shopping link to make sure you are always stocked on you prenatal's! Let's face it, sometimes during pregnancy the lazy option of having it come to our door is beyond practical and quite frankly, its smart!

The Rebel Mama's Handbook for (Cool) Moms - Aleks Jassem & Nikita Stanley

I started this book and didn't want to put it down!! First mistake I started it as my bedtime read...but first thing in the morning you bet I picked it back up (oh and shared it on my socials immediately). Its cute, cheeky, has suggestions and honest conversations. Thers even a little note for your partner or supporter and it made me cry, I had Josh read it becase it ws so informative and put into words likely what we wouldnt be able to post birth!

The Fourth Trimester : This book is a support guide on helping you understand and learn the birthing process, what to prepare for and what postpatrum can potentially be. There's alot of support, spiritually and ways to help you learn to be your own advocate!

Baby Velvet Clothing Hanger: Gender neutral colour, non slip velvet clothing hanger for baby girls closet! I also love these style of hangers because I find I can fit more clothing in since the hanger itself is not bulky! I have these in "adult" size in my closets!

Baby Clothes Closet Dividers: I am a sucker for organization! I loved this idea and purchased immediately when I saw it! Also perfect and easy for those extermly sleepy days where your brain isnt functioning, or if you have someone helping you with baby! Easy outlined organization for their clothing and onesies will make changing them even easier! Also, loved the gender neutral wood style! Have fun looking at the cute baby clothes and organzing by month, I know I did!

Travel Foldable Changing Pad: Have not personally used this for changing yet, but I loved the affordable price (under $10), I loved the gender neutral colour and I loved how already compact it is! Real reviews on actually USING this to change baby will come later!

Attitude Baby Laundry Detergent:This is a preference item. Some people think its incredibly important, others think theres no need. This is again where mommas just gotta do what they want to do and what makes them comfortable. Regardless of where you stand, this is the one I purchased to start doing baby girls laundry!

Star Plush LED Night Light Pillow:A girlfriend of mine gifted this to us! Camryn is mezmorized by it! I love that this item will be a favourite through many stages of her life! Right now it's super facinating for her; as lights are her favourite thing... but I also love that it will be a night time night light and saftey buddy in years to come!

Little Cutie: Baby Shower

Little Cutie Thank you Cards:These are to keep on theme! Sending thank you cards out to those who came and supported us and of course showering our little one with love!

Nursery

Wood Beaded Flush Mount Light: We changed the light in the nursery and I really do love the outcome! It matches my vision perfectly and was under what I had originally thought I would have to spend! This beautiful light fixture was under $100! This fixture is stunning and can be suitable for many rooms in the house!

I hope you love our favourites and can enjoy the great deals and great products! I will always share my finds! I love all things shopping and all things skincare!
