Recently, Ole Henriksen discontinued my favorite serum,  and I replaced it with another serum that was not pregnancy safe.  Given that pregnancy often causes an increase in acne, after a few months, I was getting desperate.  So when Instagram fed me ads for Versine serums, clean serums that are safe for pregnancy, I bought it instantly.

Hatch, the maternity brand beloved by influencers everywhere.  The second you download a pregnancy tracking app into your phone, the ads for it will appear.  Then, the promoted posts filled with gorgeous women, cupping their growing bellies lovingly.  But is Hatch the maternity style savior it’s cracked up to be?

Sometimes, I run into a product on social media and then, I can’t escape it.  It’s like it’s chasing me.  The K18 Leave-In Treatment was such a product.  One day I saw it in an Instagram Story, and the next day, it was like no one had anything else to talk about.

Pregnancy has taken its toll on my energy level.  By the time I get home from work, I don’t want to do anything.  Thus, working out has stopped wholesale.

Social media is filled with companies that want to help us live more sustainably.  Companies that help us compost our food waste. Companies that let us recycle old clothing and textiles.  And companies that want to move us off of single-use plastics and onto reusable alternatives.  Today’s SioS feature, Blueland, is such a company.
