My Summer Essentials + $50 Gift Card Giveaway

Being pregnant in the Phoenix summer is no walk in the park! The temps are around 100 degrees of dry heat and then monsoon comes you have humid heat at high temps. URGH!! Can we say swollen feet and just HOT all the time? Around this time of the season, I make sure I stock up on summer essentials that increase my comfort level inside and out. My favorite place to stock up is Sprouts Farmers Market. They have their Vitamin Extravaganza promotion (July 26-August 2) which saves you 25 percent off regular retail nutritional supplements and body care items. I’ll be sharing with you some of my favorite summer essentials from Sprouts.

Inside Out

I believe that beauty and health start from within. I’ve been diligently and almost obsessively taking prenatal vitamins during my pregnancy. If you have ever taken these types of vitamins, you would know how BIG these pills are. I researched an alternative and found SmartyPants Vitamins. Their prenatal complete gummies contain Omega Fish Oil, folate, iodine, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. You have to eat 6 per day but I honestly don’t mind it since they taste so good. Each bottle contains three delicious flavors with no synthetic colors, no artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives, or any other junk. Vitamins are NOT cheap so the sale is definitely a time when I stock up on these yummy and essential vitamins!

Outside In

My day job requires a lot of driving, walking and basically more physical activity than I want, especially in the blazing heat. My feet get pretty swollen from the pregnancy and the heat so any type of relaxation at home is a MUST. I start by soaking my body in the Sprouts Sleep Formula Epsom Salt. It soothes my tired and aching muscles and promotes a better nights sleep (Baby Zoe has been moving around a lot). What I love about this product is that you can use it in three ways: bath (soak for 20 minutes), shower (use to exfoliate skin) or foot soak (mix with warm water and soak feet for 10 minutes). After the soak, I take a shower with my favorite body wash Jason Calming Lavender. It has an amazing scent and leaves my skin feeling nourished and soft. It’s important to moisturize after a shower, so I use the Jason Calming Lavender Hand & Body Lotion next. The last and most important essential that I use on my body is the Badger Pregnant Belly Oil in Rose & Vanilla. I am FREAKED out about stretch marks so I hydrate my belly as much as possible.

RUN don’t walk to this amazing sale! They have the best array of natural products for healthy living. Don’t forget that the promotion runs from Wednesday, July 26 through Wednesday, August 2!
