Pregnancy Favorites and a Giveaway!

September 3, 2015
 Here are some of my current pregnancy favorites…and a GIVEAWAY!  Along with sharing my favorite products for a healthy pregnancy, I’m also giving away a canister of AboutTime protein powder, two Namaste Yoga videos, and an entire month of personal training with me!  Worth over $200.  You can enter the giveaway below.
painted earth skincare
Ok the worst part of the first trimester was my awful blemished skin.  I mean it went from acne free to oily, cystic blemishes all over my face and neck.  I was embarrassed to go out of the house!  So I talked to my sweet friend, the owner of Painted Earth Skincare, and she put together a regimen for me to clear up my skin and help it to glow again.  The above left picture is from when I was 6 weeks pregnant and the right is at 12 weeks.  My skin is still clear and so much healthier!  Here’s my secret:
painted earth skincare
Painted Earth Boo-Boo Gel, Charcoal Masque, and Vitamin C Serum.  I apply the charcoal masque once a week by mixing it with apple cider vinegar and leaving on my face for 7-10 minutes.  Both the Vitamin C Serum and the Boo-Boo Gel I use every day after I wash my face.  First I apply the Serum and then I finish with a light coating of the Boo-Boo Gel.  Wam bam thank you ma’am!  AND because I love ya here’s a 10% off coupon code to get your own: use HAPPILY at checkout.  
Ingrid and Isabel Workout Gear
Ingrid and Isabel workout clothes from Figure 8 Maternity= life-changing.  It is so hard to find workout clothes that will grow with your bump, but Ingrid and Isabel does so with style, grace, and comfort.  I’m going to be totally honest and tell you that I wore this particular outfit two days in a row.  And my husband had to force me to change on the third day.  These sports tops have the best chest support I’ve ever experienced.  The bottoms are comfy, breathable, and so supportive.  I may be wearing them again right now…  Make sure to shop I&I on Figure 8 Maternity.
Ingrid and Isabel Workout Gear
AboutTime protein powder
Everyone knows how much I love AboutTime protein powder, and now that I’m pregnant it’s even more important for my diet.  Did you know that a pregnant woman needs .55g of protein per pound?  An easy way to get that extra protein, as well as more vitamins and minerals, is with a smoothie every day!  You can click on my recipes tab above for plenty of AboutTime smoothie recipes.  AND you can use my HAPPILYHUGHES discount code for 25% off your next purchase.
Namaste TV
Yoga!  Oh how I need this, especially knocked up.  Yoga is not just important for exercise, it keeps the body limber, the tendons and ligaments loose, and the mind calm.  With all of these extra hormones running around my body, I need something to chill me out and keep me sane.  These Namaste TV videos are perfect.  Each video is set in a beautiful setting, and the voice over is both soothing and instructive.  Each episode is only 23 minutes long but it’s just enough to give the whole body a good workout.  I’m giving away these two DVDs below!
The Breast Whisperer
And last but definitely not least is The Breast Whisperer.  In the course of this pregnancy my boobs have gone from a B to a Triple D.  Holy toledo batman.  And ouch.  I don’t remember them hurting this much with Hudson! So I found The Breast Whisperer.  It’s the most supportive and comfortable bra I’ve found without any plastic or metallic inserts for underwire support.  It was invented by a plastic surgeon AND a portion of each purchase will go to beast cancer charities and research.  
The Breast Whisperer
It’s giveaway time!  One lucky person will win two namaste DVDs, an AboutTime protein powder canister, and a month of online training for free.  This is worth over $220!

    Whoohoo! I'm 23 weeks with my second boy and would looooooooove some of these things! Although I'm in Dallas so you wouldn't be able to train me… Anyway, REAL question: I'm struggling (again) with the massive, massive pregnancy boobs. I'm currently a 32DDD. Since I carry low, my rib cage measurement never goes up (so increasing to a 34DD or "similar" size doesn't work!). Do these sports bras fit a tiny rib cage yet hold massive chest?! The struggle is real, girl, and I know you feel me there! I've yet to find one that works, and I'm in my yoga studio 6 days a week. YIKES. Help me. Please.

    My friend recommended I check out your blog b/c I was looking for some maternity workout clothes. I’m a 32DDD too and weigh about 130 right now. I’m usually between a 2-4 so I can’t decide which size to get in the I&I workout tops. Did you go with an XS or a S size? I love the way the top looks on you when you were early in pregnancy and love the idea of the back stretching as you grow rather than buying massive workout tops that just look terrible now! Thanks for the recommendation!

    • JessicaHughes says

      November 17, 2015 at 7:36 pm

      Hi kristi! Welcome to the blog! Ok so I’m normally a 34B-34C, right now I’m a 34DDD (hey triple D Twinsie! I ordered the small I&I top and it fits perfectly! I’m at 30 weeks and it’s still fitting like a champ. I hope that helps!

  31. Kristi says

    November 18, 2015 at 8:29 am

    Thanks for the response! I’m going to go order the small. I’m ordering 2 of the tops now, but wanted to let you and any other users know there’s currently a coupon code if you order any 2+ products from Ingrid & Isabel you get 20% off. Code: Ingrid20
