A great natural alternative to more expensive organic or harsh chemical filled drug store brands. Super creamy and gentle formula make for a cleanser that's great for both a luxurious face wash or even a makeup remover. I've personally had a lot of success using this with my Clarisonic! Love the very light scent as well (verges on unscented)! -

Not a fan of this palette! Great for someone with a beige skin undertone (both my sister and I have our palettes to my mom who looks stunning in their shades) but absolutely horrible on someone with a pink undertone and light skinned; has a tendency to make you look tired and actually brings out the purple in my under eyes!! Super pigmented, beautiful colours as any other Urban Decay shadow, just not universal. -

My personal favourite of the Naked trio! Have tried all three palettes (although I haven't gotten to Smokey yet) and find that Naked 2 compliments my skin tone and and complexion best (blonde hair, green eyes); plenty of beautiful purple and grey undertones to make green eyes pop! I use it for both a daily look and a more dramatic smokey eye. While it's highly pigmented, I'm also thrilled that it leaves little to no fall out (assuming you're using great tools). Blends well and the colour combinations are limitless. Stunning palette! -

Beautiful palette that is excellent for use in film and photography despite some shimmer. Fantastic for use as an eyeshadow, eyebrow, and contour kit! A super versatile array of colours that are great universally; suitable for all skin tones (unlike Naked 3!!). Very pigmented, easily applied, and long lasting! Both economically and longwearing. This palette is a great collection if you prefer to stick to natural tones without losing the dramatic effect of bold colours. -
Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Cheek and Lip Stain
Beautiful colour as both a lip stain and cheek tint! Lasts forever. I use this as an undertone for my powder products and by itself on no makeup look days. Dries a bit quick sometimes, although perhaps the product is nearing the end of its shelf... +
Beautiful colour as both a lip stain and cheek tint! Lasts forever. I use this as an undertone for my powder products and by itself on no makeup look days. Dries a bit quick sometimes, although perhaps the product is nearing the end of its shelf life now. Can also be a bit drying if you don't use a lip balm a few times throughout the day. Works great for film or special events like weddings where reapplications can sometimes be tricky to coordinate. -

This is the most incredible blender I have ever used! Was fortunate enough to receive the food processor, shake, and blender combo as a bridal shower gift from my parents three years ago and use it at least a couple of times a week for smoothies and shakes. The blender is also amazing for raw vegan cooking! I make plenty of nut butters, cheeses, and almond milks using my ninja and am still amazed at the power of this appliance. Nuts are definitely not the easiest thing to turn into a purée (especially when you've forgotten to soak them for enough time (oops!). I can always count on my ninja blender to get the job done! -
Lysol Disinfecting Wipes Citrus

Amazing! As an asthmatic, I tend to choose unscented products but both the linen and lemon scents are light enough not to affect me. The cleaning power of these is also incredible. For a pre-dampened wipe, you are getting the same impact as a more potent spray. Love how easy these are to use. Since getting pregnant, I've also been concerned about the fumes I inhale but feel confident enough to continue using these to get the job at home. Super versatile: I use these in every room of my home in addition to keeping a package in my car for on the go. -

I wear these pants practically every day and I've been since my 13th week of pregnancy. These are much higher quality compared to the similar ones available at Motherhood. Although they come with a pretty high price tag, these are comparable to the Lululemon's I was wearing pre-pregnancy and are worth every penny. I purchased both the skinny and boot leg cuts as part of Thyme's starter kit promotion. I'm now on my 31st week of pregnancy and these pants as well as all of the other items I purchased are still like new! My growth is also right on target :) so the stretch is definitely working out! I wear a size 6 normally (thank you, big Slavic hips!) and am wearing the a size medium (room for growth at the start but perfect now) in these. -

Classic book that details every stage of pregnancy. I can't imagine not having read this during my own! I've unfortunately been one of the few unlucky women to experience severe back pain and rib fractures in my 29th week but fortunately, my readings prepared me for this. This book actually prepares you for the most unlikely events in addition to more common experiences. For nerds like myself, there's also plenty of science behind the readings. I love the discussion on blood type! This is an absolute essential for any mother to be. Very excited to start reading The First Year soon :) -

Formerly used this finishing powder exclusively. Started to affect my skin and am not sure if there may have been a change in formula. While this product still has amazing coverage and staying power, I did not like how my skin reacted to it. I find it quite drying and that it leaves my skin with mild redness on my cheeks. For those more fortunate though (and for use in a professional kit), it is easily layerable and looks fantastic on camera. Super easy to find the perfect shade for your client. -
