SKINCARE ROUTINE ALERT
⠀
I know we mostly talk about books and now pregnancy, but I noticed how little I devote to important topics that concern everyone. Also, I see how little we tell about not so pleasant changes to the body that happen during pregnancy. No one likes talking unattractive stuff. But here I am, mythbustering and spreading honesty.
⠀
Apart from stretch marks, rapid weight grow and overall displease with oneself body, I heard a lot about how glowing becomes the skin of a preggie. You will get the most beautiful skin, they said. BULLSHIT. Every case is different, but I didn’t fall in the majority of happy owners of radiating health skin. Instead, my sensitive-before derma transformed into something I avoided for years. Redness, itch, acne, non-hydrated, uneven irritated skin watched me from every mirror.
⠀
I am a huge fan of @clinique products those are created especially for these needs and never let me down since my teenage. Here comes Rule #1, there is a high possibility that the skincare products you used before you got pregnant won’t fit you anymore. Many common skincare ingredients, including retinol and salicylic acid, aren't safe for use during pregnancy.
⠀
I hate to change my cosmetics ‘cause NOTHING satisfies my capricious skin. It could be a case I deliver earlier than find a solution if it wasn’t for @kiehls. So happy I tried this brand first. It’s not a paid promo - all the products I bought myself. Not all of them are perfect, but some turned my skin into a trouble-free and, the most important, cosmetologist-free version of itself in a few days. Also, I am a huge fan of their return policy - if a product doesn’t fit you, you can return it and receive money back.
⠀
Let me know if you want to see the products I use. I am happy to share them on my stories. Also, if you have any questions related to pregnancy, leave a comment below, and I promise to share my experience.
How are you beaching so far?
⠀
Are you already a happy owner of the bronze-tanned or a sunburnt red pepper-bell body like me? Either option sounds enjoyable tho. I hope you will get your portion of summertime fun and will do splashy-splashy at your pleasure until the sun transforms into less a scorching version of itself. And even then I encourage you to prolong the pleasure and continue water plays in the nearest pool.
⠀
Just pay attention to the strangers on the beach not to find yourself in a deadly game of obsession and control like Caroline, the heroine of a new crime book A Stranger On The Beach by @michelecampbellbooks.
⠀

We are halfway through the summer! (It happened in a flash.)
⠀
I am tracking this summer by stunning lineup from @booksparks #SRC2019 and, of course, by weeks into the pregnancy. So my season is lavish on books and exciting moments. How are you doing so far? Tell me everything about your summer adventures.
⠀
And while we gossip about this and that, let’s celebrate a paperback edition of The Enlightenment of Bees, a novel by @rachellinden_writer that was released on July 9th. Its cover screams summer and bee buzz, and after you turn the first page, you find yourself captivated by a romantic adventure across the globe!
