Pregnancy Brain

I've read about the infamous "pregnancy brain" and remember my girlfriends telling me how it seemed like the baby sucked their brains during pregnancy. Wow, they were right!
Most of the time I just feel dumb and forgetful, but I have done some really stupid things and can definitely laugh at them. So I thought I might as well share some of these things. Blame it on the pregnancy brain.

Lather Up!
I've been a little obsessed with Argan Oil. It's a natural oil that is said to improve skin elasticity, aka..no stretchmarks..so I've been oiling up daily since about 8 weeks. I came across the Organix line at Ulta and saw they had body wash, lotions, conditioners, all with Argan Oil as a main ingredient. Score! I bought some body wash and was pumped to use that in the shower and then continue with my routine and oil up after. I figured I can't get enough help with skin elasticity, right?
Soon after using the body wash, I realized that it never had suds. I checked our water softener to make sure we had salt, and we did. Then I just assumed that since it was organic, perhaps it just didn't make suds. So I continued to use it every day...for weeks. And since it didn't make suds, I had to use quite a bit of it to cover my whole body. This body wash was a bit more pricey than my normal stuff, so I was irritated that I was going through it so fast. That's when I finally decided to take a closer look at the bottle. Oh. My. Gawd. 


Yep, I've been using body LOTION as body wash for weeks. Well, that sure solved the mystery of why it wasn't making suds. But now the question is: have I been dirty and stinky for the last few weeks?!
Needless to say, I've since gotten body WASH and am lovin' the very sudsy showers :)

  1. I have that same stuff in a body wash and LOVE it. The bottle looks exactly the same :) You can get the body wash at target if your interested. It smells so good :)
