Whats In My Shower



Im always interested in what other people use so I thought id do a most myself. I share my shower so I dont have a lot of room for things and tend to store extras in my room or a cabinet in the washroom. But on my little shelf I have:

Its a 10 Miracle Shampoo Plus Keratin and Miracle Deep Conditioner Plus Keratin
I havent been using these for very long so I dont have much to say about them yet, but they seem to work well with my hair and leave it easy to manage. My only complaint so far is how little you get for the price.

Skintimate Skin Therapy Shave Gel 
I typically go for whatever isnt super expensive in the store but this ones nice because it doesnt make my skin feel dry and works well.

Soap and Glory Flake Away
I was excited about this when I got it but its been in my shower for months. It has an odd scent and leaves bright yellow stains on the shower curtain and a ring around the tub regardless if I use it in the shower or bath. Its almost gone finally and I wont be buying it again.

Venus Breeze Shaver
I go for whatever replacement razors are cheapest, which is why it doesnt match the handle. But honestly who cares about that as long as my legs don't get cut up.

Pick Comb
I use this to comb my conditioner through which makes a huge difference in my hair come time to comb it after getting out of the shower. This is just the only wide toothed comb I had and ive been using it for years.

Olay Ultra Moisture Body Wash
This is a great body wash. Its more like a cream consistency which is nice because it doesn't dry out your skin and I find this great during pregnancy as your skins stretching and going through a lot of changes. On lazy days when I dont want to spend all the extra time moisturising, if ive used this my skin is soft and not dried out with using this alone.

Foot Pumace
Not the most pleasant thing to talk about but as im on my feet a lot for my job, this has been a great thing to have. It helps to keep my feet from getting hard calluses.

This Week Im Loving.. #16


The Body Shop Shea Lip Butter
My lips have been so unbelievably dry and sore this week, ive been applying this stuff like crazy. Its helped a ton I dont know what I would have done without it. It smells lovely and leaves my lips feeling nice and soft.

Mac Cremesheen Glass in Boy Bait
This used to be something I wore a lot but im not the biggest gloss fan. I rediscovered it and decided I needed to use it more before it goes off. Its a really pretty peachy nude colour that just makes your lips look nice. It goes with anything and everything and ive pretty much worn it all week.

Regis Designline Texture Balance Frizz Primer
This is a new product we got in at work not too long ago and honestly im never all that interested in our own line of products but I actually have been quite liking this stuff. You shake the bottle to activate and apply to damp hair and style as usual, or used to touch up on dry hair. I find it realy does help eliminate most frizz when I go to town with the blowdrier and my hair feels softer after.

I had my first OB appointment this week. So far I like the doctor and her office is extremely nice. She mainly just asked me a bunch of questions, checked my blood pressure and tried to find the heartbeat but all we heard were little kicks! They were loud and I didnt know you could hear those so that was interesting. I have an ultrasound at 18 weeks and hopefully, if peanut cooperates, we will find out the sex!

At my appointment this week she told me I was low on B12, which is partly whats making me tired so I'm taking B12 vitamins. I also apparently had a bladder infection, which apparently can happen, so was put on antibiotics. Otherwise everything was good. Finally got a call from the OB and I'm scheduled for my first appointment with her next week.

Special Announcement



I havent done much blogging the past few months and it makes me sad because I really do enjoy it. I had an unexpected new year surprise in January… Im Pregnant! It had me feeling awful- bad nausea, exhaustion, and a little bit stressed, that blogging was kind of forgotten. Of course it was a complete shock as I wasnt planning to start a family for a few years, but with time ive come to accept it and am more excited every week. I am currently 16 weeks and having a difficult time finding things to wear everyday because im not really big enough for maternity wear yet, but a lot of things just look odd these days. Other than that ive been feeling pretty good lately, just tired. Ive had one ultrasound so far, pictured above, at 10 weeks 5 days. Baby was very mobile, waving its arms around which was very cute. It was so tiny and you cant really make out a whole lot that early on, it looked like a little peanut shape to me so ive been calling it peanut. Im looking forward to finding out what the sex is so we can pick out all the cute little outfits and everything. I havent really bought anything yet but id better get started as I'm due August 29th and want to have everything ready before im too big and uncomfortable to be shopping and setting everything up.  I decided I wanted to start blogging my progress week by week and am going to start back at week 14. Ill start with week 14 tomorrow and then the others will follow until im caught up, then they will be posted weekly with regular blog posts inbetween (hopefully!).
