    Pregnancy Week 22: Natural Skin Care

    Hey ya’ll. As I wrap up my 22nd week of pregnancy, I wanted to share some of my favorite natural skin care/beauty products.

    It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for a hump day/afternoon sugar boost! Seriously, munch on one of these and try not to jet out the door and run around the block 5 times.

    If you look under the “sweets” tab in my recipe page, you won’t find too many decadent or overly indulgent treats. They tend to be easy and natural alternatives to cookies or brownies and raw desserts or fruit-sweetened bars; basically the kind of stuff you would expect from a gluten-free, dairy-free blog.
