A Pure Pregnancy

At the moment I discovered I was pregnant, which was at 7 weeks, I realized, I'm a mother. Although my baby was yet a tiny bean in utero, I knew that I was already responsible for the well-being and health of my little one.

One way to nurture the precious new life within your blossoming body is to be conscious of what you ingest and feed yourself. Green Guide by National Geographic offers all kinds of great tips to organic living and ways to take care of yourself and the planet. This knowledge becomes all the more valuable when you're pregnant. It can be both enlightening and a bit frightening to wade through the information out there, but it's definitely worth the effort.

For myself, I was determined to have as pure a pregnancy as possible. Besides eating organic food, I wanted to use natural or organic products that would minimize my chemical exposure to the baby growing within me. I was especially frustrated with the difficulty in finding a great skincare line. Even when the box said "natural," the label noted a slew of "chemical" ingredients.

Then I discovered pure & true.

Free from parabens, artificial fragrances and colors, sulphates, phthalates, and petroleum-derived ingredients, pure & true skincare offers the real experience in organic beauty. From cleanser to masque, all of its products feature plant or floral ingredients such as organic aloe juice, avocado, rooibos tea, and kelp that are almost good enough to eat!
