Meet our Products: Pareik, Sparkling Mama and Mr. B’s Necessities

We’ve partnered up with some truly wonderful makers this summer, and we’d love to introduce you to a few of them! Pareik, Sparkling Mama, and Mr. B’s Necessities were all featured in some of our recent boxes. We were lucky enough to catch up with each of them to hear a little more about their incredible products!

Pareik Skin Co.

 

Pareik is a luxury natural skin care company whose products are made by hand, in small batches, using only the highest quality ingredients. After years of working with clients, they ultimately found that by eliminating harsh chemicals and sticking with simple, natural remedies, skin flourishes!

Pareik recommends their Vitamin C Serum – Reface Me – for expectant and new mamas, and we couldn’t agree more!

Reface Me is an oil-based serum, packed with antioxidant protection. It focuses on removing free radicals in sun-exposed skin, which makes it perfect for these hot summer days. And bonus – because it’s vitamin C based, it helps with under eye bags (yes please!) and dryness.

Whether you’re experiencing the sleeplessness that comes with pregnancy, up all night with your precious newborn, or simply looking to care for your sun-exposed skin, this luxurious serum is a treat for expectant and new mamas alike.

Sparkling Mama

After experiencing extreme morning sickness throughout her two pregnancies and finding no relief in any available product, Tami Lennox developed Sparkling Mama’s Fizzelixir.

Fizzelixir is an effervescent supplement powder that dissolves in any beverage to help alleviate morning sickness. It’s flavored with subtle hints of lemon and ginger, is sweetened with pure sugar cane, and contains Vitamin B6 and Magnesium to boot!

Want more you can feel good about? It’s doctor approved, contains no caffeine, and (our favorite quality) contains no dyes or artificial sweeteners.

As if relief from dreadful morning sickness weren’t enough, you may also find Fizzelixer helps you have fewer leg cramps, more restful sleep, and more energy throughout the day – we call that a win all around… and why we included a full 6-pack in our June box!

Mr. B’s Necessities

The husband and wife team behind Mr. B’s Necessities takes great pride in their family-owned company, and it’s not hard to see why! Mr. B’s is a plant-based bath and body company that uses 100% natural ingredients, and makes all of their products in small batches. They specialize soaps, aromatherapy, and our favorite – the Rose Facial Mist & Toner.

Mr. B’s Facial Mist is a simple, natural recipe designed to tone and brighten your skin – just spray your face throughout the day for an easy, skin healing experience!

The Rose Facial Mist is a must-have for expectant and new mamas alike. If your skin is undergoing the changes that come with pregnancy, or you’re just looking for an easy boost after a long night with your little one – you’ll love the refreshing pick-me-up this mist offers. Our favorite pro-tip – put this one on your hospital bag packing list!

We know you’ll love these all-natural products for new and expecting mamas as much as we do!

Father's Day Gifts dad (and mom) will love!

Father’s Day is just around the corner (it snuck right up on us!) so we’ve rounded up our favorite Father’s Day gifts.

We know we’re in the market of pampering mamas, but that doesn’t mean dad doesn’t deserve to be celebrated as well… especially if there’s a little one on the way!

Keep scrolling for the goods…

1. Roo Hammock from Kammok  |  2. Arvo Watch (a great give-back purchase!)  |  3. Chocolate Macarons by Little Hope Cakes (for the dad with a sweet tooth)  |  4. Portland General Store Skincare Set  |  5. Lodge Cast Iron Pizza Pan  |  6. Nespresso VertuoLine Espresso & Coffee Maker  |  7.

We wanted to include a variety of items at a variety of price points… we know having a baby is cause to pinch some pennies. But no matter if you are looking for a small something special, or a Father’s Day Gift splurge these are some great options!

And let’s be honest… that Nespresso is also a gift for mom as well. With a newborn and kids coffee can be a must!
