You did it! You survived the first trimester! Now it’s time to cruise into the glorious second trimester, aka the sweet spot of pregnancy. Morning sickness is (fingers crossed) packing its bags, your energy is making a comeback, and food finally sounds good again. Plus, you might be rocking the cutest little baby bump right about now. This is your moment to lean into some well-deserved self-care, soak up the good vibes, and recharge—you’ve earned it!

As a first-time mom, I was deep in denial about maternity clothes. I truly believed I could just “make my regular wardrobe work” because why spend money on clothes I’d only wear for a few months? Fast forward to last week when I woke up and realized I couldn’t even squeeze into my tried-and-true sweatpants. Cue the emergency Prime order for pants. 🙃 Moral of the story: don’t be like me. Here are all the maternity staples you actually need—minus the last-minute panic.

My first trimester almost took me out (not actually, but wow did it feel like it). There were days I genuinely wondered how I was supposed to survive it. These were the only things that gave me even a little bit of relief—and no, this is not one of those posts where I tell you to nibble on crackers and sip ginger tea and call it a day. These are things that ACTUALLY made a difference.

My skincare routine has changed so much since the start of 2023. I still have my OG favs, but I wanted to make a list to showcase all of the "new" products that I've been using!

This list is composed of all of my makeup, skincare, hair care products, and beauty tools and accessories. I also include low maintenance at home beauty treatments for those girlies on a budget (like me).

My holy grail makeup items + items on my "to try" list. I love affordable, drugstore products but I also do love to splurge from time to time so this is a mix of both! I am also experimenting for my wedding coming up in 2024
