Zoe Organics Mama's Ritual Review...

As most of you know Asher and I are currently representing an amazing little heath conscious brand called Zoe Organics. I'm over the moon with their products and seriously love everything they offer. ZO recently released their Mama's Ritual product set and it is beyond amazing.. It's so good that my mailman almost didn't want to deliver it because the package made his mail truck smelly "heavenly" as he referred to it..  It's the perfect stressed Mama pick me up and eases my busy mine. The smell is amazing and so soothing. Here's a little review of each of the products that come in the set. You can purchase them all together or separate! 

Aromatherapy Oil - This oil goes with me everywhere... Especially to the grocery store and work... Two places I always find myself stressing out about. I usually rub the oil on my pressure point or place a small amount in my hand and inhale the oil. I swear this oil calms me down and eases my mind. 

Aromatherapy Candle - I usually burn this candle every night before bed. It leaves my bedroom smelling delightful and like the oil, eases my busy mind... therefore making it easier for me to drift off into a deep sleep. The candle is also very long lasting for the size of it. You will get many hours out of this candle. 

Bath Soak - This bath soak is by far the best bath soak I have ever used. I soaked for about 20 minutes in the tub with it and it left my skin glowing. The next day, even after my morning shower, my skin looked radiant! And felt so smooth. I've got to order more of this soak ASAP! 

Every Mama needs to get their hands on this amazing Ritual Set. It's soothing, relaxing, and will ease all your worries away! You can purchase your Mama's Ritual Set HERE. 

Zoe Organics....

As a Mama, I've become extremely careful as to what products I use with Asher... Whether it's food products, body products, gear, ect, I'm always checking the ingredients, looking at the safety ratings, and reading reviews. Recently we've made the change to use more organic items in our household. We have always used a fair share of organic products, but there were still a few things we had yet to make the change to... One of them being bath/body products for Asher. Most of the balms/ointments we used for Asher were organic, but we were still using basic store bought stuff such as aveeno, baby magic, johnson and johnson, ect for body wash and shampoo. 

If you follow me on Instagram you may have noticed that I am now a brand enthusiast for an amazing little company called Zoe Organics. I've used Zoe Organics products in the past and have been super pleased with them! You might have heard me chatting about their amazing nipple balm... Anywho I applied to be a brand enthusiast with them and was so thrilled when they chose Asher and I! We received our first package a few weeks and I am so blown away! We have now made the switch to use all organic products thanks to Zoe Organics. Words cannot even explain how happy I am with these products and how well they work for our family. 

Here is a little breakdown and review of the products we received in our first package:

Diaper Balm: Probably my favorite diaper balm ever! Smells amazing and cleans up a yucky diaper rash in no time. I put this on Asher whenever he has a rash and every night before bed, during his last changing, and by morning his little bum looks great!

Belly Oil: This belly oil is recommended for use during pregnancy and after. Even though I'm almost 18 months postpartum now, I can still see results with this oil. I apply it every night after my evening shower and have noticed a big difference. I had some lose skin around my belly button area and it is tightening up thanks to this oil. It's light, smelly heavenly, and leaves my skin feeling fabulous. 

Bath Wash: Before using this bath wash I was using Aveeno. Asher's skin always seemed dry to me and I just thought it was from the dry air out here in the desert. After using this wash a few nights, his skin immediately cleared up and is now smooth and silky. A little goes a long way with this wash as well, one pump can wash Asher's entire body, including that curly head of hair ;). 

Cream: This cream is seriously like whipped butter. It is smooth, thick, and so creamy! I use this cream every night on Asher and by morning his skin is so smooth and soft! I use it on myself as well and my legs stay smooth for days!

Breathe Balm (not pictured): This stuff is like magic in a tube! Asher has been super congested here lately thanks to the molars he's cutting and this balm has been our lifesaver during the night. I rub a little on his chest, neck, and the bottoms of his feet and he sleeps so peacefully with NO coughing! I've used it for myself as well and it is amazing! Once you use this balm you will NEVER EVER want to use Vicks ever again! 

I highly recommend that you all make the switch to Zoe Organics. I'm so blow away by their products and am so excited for this new adventure as a brand enthusiast for them! I will continue to share my thoughts/reviews of their items with you all! Stay tuned!

Happy Monday!

XO!

One Year of Breastfeeding...

Wednesday I can officially say that I have breastfed Asher for one year.... And I'm proud to say that. Today I was thinking back to the breastfeeding thoughts that went through my noodle before I had him, our first months of breast feeding, and our future of breastfeeding.. I can remember being so worried about being able to nurse Asher and now I look at how far we have come and how good we are at it...

I mean we did have our ups and downs... having to use a nursing shield for the first few months and I wasn't the greatest when it came to pumping, but overall it's been so wonderful! Nursing is seriously one of the best things you can do as a mama and it's super affordable. I managed to save $1100.00 this past year by breastfeeding! I should reward myself ;)... 

Now that I have made it to a year I'm wondering when to start weaning Asher... When did you wean your little? Did you let them self wean? Thursday we go to the doctor so I will be asking her about nursing past the first year!

Here my nursing must haves from this past year... 

1. Zoe Organics Nipple Balm - Chapped nips are the worst things ever! This balm is hands down my favorite! 

2. Boppy - Great for nursing during the younger months

3. Nursing Bras - A MUST, Target and H&M have great affordable nursing bras! 

4. Medela Pump

5. Nursing Cover

6. Nursing Contact Shield - Not a must have for all mamas but these helped me be able to nurse during first few months!
