Honestly, just unsolicited advice in general 🥱

Before you spend more $$ on your skin routine - watch this.

Walking into your first facial and leaving with SIX new products? Immediate red flag.

If you introduce 6 things at once, how do you know what’s helping? What’s irritating? What’s breaking you out? What your skin actually likes?

Skincare should be strategic, not a retail money grab. Slow. Intentional.

Also, if we’re only treating symptoms and never asking WHY the breakouts, inflammation, or rosacea started in the first place... are we really having the full conversation?

I brought this conversation months back in a viral reel about the difference between Esthetician’s and Dermatologist’s. I wanted to circle back on one of my opinions that overhauling a new skincare routine is a BAD IDEA.

Part of the 2026 baby boom and so grateful to have this sweet girl by my side. 🥹

1 thing I’m adding to my birth prep: 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘭 ✔️

In the birthing class we’re taking, we learned that around 34 weeks, it can be helpful to swap out your chair for a birthing ball to encourage more movement throughout the day. I also learned how useful it can be to help with back pain, hip pain and pelvic pressure, while supporting better posture and easing tension.

I’m excited to use mine throughout the rest of pregnancy, during birth, and postpartum. I’ve seen so many moms use their ball while holding their newborn, so I love that it’s something I’ll be able to continue using after baby girl arrives.

The Momcozy Birthing Ball comes as a complete set with a base, slip-resistant surface, anti-burst design and a 330-lb capacity. It’s also BPA-free and PVC-free, which I really appreciate. 💓 Momcozy

I lost both my parents to heart disease.
