Over the last few days and in the next week or so, we'll be keeping our eye out for treats that make great gifts to yourself or even better - ideal goodies for Mother's Day!
When you're pregnant or breastfeeding, it's not always easy to trust that your usual lotions and potions are safe to use, especially if they are formulated with essential oils. However, pregnancy is a wonderful time to tune into your body, and relaxing with the right natural ingredients is a great way to soothe your aching legs and back, as well as to enjoy some me-time.
Mum's the Word is a great place to shop for skincare products because they know what's safe and what's not: for you if you're expecting, or if you're breastfeeding, and for your baby.
They are championing a couple of great products for this Mother's Day:
The Tranquility Spa (£19.95) is Bathrobics' all-in-one bathtime session. Including a 20-minute CD to help you chill-out completely, it also comes with frankincense and mandarin candles, a bath pillow (for leisurely reclining), and some fabulous Dead Sea salts especially scented with lavender, cedar, patchouli and frankincense.
After your relaxing bath, the CD also suggests some easy exercises to help release tension and to provide self-massage. It's wonderful if you are stressed at all, or finding it hard to sleep.
Mumstheword also recommend the Belli Life After Baby Skincare Solutions Kit (£19.95), which includes three products to help restore the natural health of your skin in those hectic post-birth months when you might feel stressed, rundown and physically drained.
The Body Firming Serum helps bring your skin back to full health, then the Moisturising Hand Sanitizer is designed to help you keep your hands clean (when caring and changing your baby) without drying them out. And finally, the Eye Brightening Cream is aimed at helping you stay looking fresh even after several sleepless nights!
