Best 1 piece solid swimsuit?
This ruffled one piece or this one are both super cute in black or white. This one looks cute, flattering, and functional. Love this strapless one or this color block one.
Could you share what else you include in your care packages for new mamas?
Of course! I like sending mamas stuff for THEM. The new baby most likely has all the things from the baby shower, etc. so I like to spoil her a little. My theme for this little package I just sent my friend was lactation and relaxation lol. I sent her a HUGE bag of homemade lactation granola, a big Starbucks water tumbler, lip balm, eye and face masks, and lavender bath salts. I also did a post linking all my favorite recipes to make for new mamas if you live close by to drop off a meal.
Other thoughtful ideas: send a Daily Harvest gift certificate via email, mani or pedi gift certificate to her local nail salon, cute candle, slippers, body lotion,
I need a new pair of jeans from the #NSale.. no distressing please! Favorites?
Such good denim this year! I haven’t actually tried on the Mother jeans yet but ordered them and will report back. And had to include one distressed pair.. sorry.. they’re too good not to! Faves below:
Have you tried Mother Denim yet and if so, do you think they’re worth the price?
Like I said above, I haven’t tried them yet but ordered a pair from the sale and I hope they’re worth the hype. Everyone says once you go Mother, you’ll never go back. So many DM’s about this line! But I seriously love Madewell and Levi jeans any day of the week so it’ll be hard to top! Stay tuned.
I saw your stories about natural deodorants and that Kopari didn’t work for you. How was Schmidts and what did other followers say about their experience with natural deodorants? What ACTUALLY works?!?! Anything other than the heavy duty stuff!?
So first of all we saved all of the responses from the poll we took asking what everyone’s favorite deodorant is on Instagram. You can find the responses saved under the “Beauty” highlight. Also thank you for sending in all your faves, tricks and tips. So fun and helpful to hear from so many of you 🙂
So far I’m loving Native in the coconut scent. It doesn’t keep me from sweating obviously, but I’m not stinky at the end of the day (and that’s saying a lot lol!) I’ve tried the Schmidts in several scents and just cannot get into it. It’s irritates my skin a little, gets clumpy and sticky, and doesn’t prevent stink for me. I want to love the Kopari so badly, but it just doesn’t work for me. It smells SO SO good, but the second I start sweating I stink. I still use my tried and true Dove with all the chemicals when I’m doing a heavy duty workout because I need something that I know will work so I’m not the smelly girl in class.
I want a pair of booties for fall from the Nordstrom sale, which ones did you scoop up?
I didn’t scoop up all of these but these are the ones that I think will sell out the fastest and are my personal picks:
Your #1 favorite purchase from the #NSale thus far (cuz I know you’re not done lol) – GO!
Easily, this camo coat by Avec Les Filles.. I got SO many DM’s about it when it was hanging in my dressing room!
Alix.. I know you can help.. I love edamame and I know you eat it often. Would you think it’s safe in pregnancy?? I have avoided it for so long (because of infertility) due to the soy it contains. I just hear good things and bad things about edamame. What’s your take?
Soy is so controversial I hear ya! I don’t consume soy daily, but do have a few servings a week here and there (edamame, soy milk, tofu) but I try to avoid the super processed soy products (ex fake soy meat and soy isolate in protein bars) I think it’s totally fine and safe if you have it in moderation and just not the processed soy products. Check out Plant Based Juniors and follow them on Instagram. One of the owners is a friend and they are plant based dietitians and raise their kids vegetarian and have a lot of great information on soy for kids and mamas. As always, check with your doctor as well 😉
Thanks for your questions this week. Keep them coming via DM and by emailing us at champagnetheory@gmail.com.
