Simply Anti-Aging Serum 🤩

Imagine the normal face serum on wrinkle fighting steroids!!!

Non-toxic goodness to help your skin look more youthful! Prevent aging & minimize current aging signs with this golden oil.

🔸 Bakuchiol or Babchi Oil 🔸
from India & considered nature’s retinol! It’s not recommended to use retinol when pregnant so I wanted to find something I could use. Retinol can cause dryness, redness & sensitivity to the sun. Babchi oil diminishes wrinkles, improves elasticity, increases collagen production and smooths skin. Babchi oil also evens skin tone, lessens appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

🔸 CoQ10 🔸
boosts hydration, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, and reduces collagen breakdown.

🔸 Seabuckthorn Oil 🔸
gives skin elasticity, cell regeneration & reduces the gravity and length of wrinkles.

🔸 Rosehip Oil 🔸
helps production of collagen and combats visible sun damage. It also reduce scars, fine lines and skin pigmentation.

🔸Vitamin E 🔸
protects your skin from free radicals & helps heal sun damage.

🔸Sweet Almond & Lemon Essential Oil 🔸
delays signs of aging & protects skin from UV damage.

🔸 Lavender Essential Oil 🔸
prevents wrinkles, heals scars & redness.

Also stoked about this dress I found a thrift store for $4 that my amazing SIL altered! 🙌🏼

Sipping La Croixs with my girl, getting used to the slow quarantine life & starting to appreciate it ☀️Feeling great pregnancy wise, feeling the baby kick all the time! 👶🏼 I have my first ultrasound Thursday & I have to go alone due to covid restrictions, sad Michael or Evelyn won’t be with me. I only get one ultrasound (this is normal with a midwife) We’ve all been affected by this in some way, but we are almost through it!! Stay strong and thankful for what you do have!

Purple sweet potato pizza crust with Hawaiian BBQ

Purple sweet potato pizza crust with Hawaiian BBQ toppings 🍕🍍 Not a quick, easy recipe but sooo tasty & filling. And gluten free!! Purple sweet potato, oat flour, eggs, raw cheddar, traders sriracha bbq sauce, ham with no nitrates & pineapple.
I use Traders srircha bbq sauce and it pairs so well with the sweet potato!

Recipe on my website!

Boy or girl? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We decide

Boy or girl?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We decided to wait...until the birth!!! Something I said I would never do 😆 Michael really wants it to be a surprise so I’m compromising bc I love him 🙃

the planner in me feels like this 🥴 but I’m at peace with it, mostly bc Evelyn doesn’t mind not knowing. I realized today she isn’t aware that you can actually know the gender before the baby is born haha.

Who else has decided to not find out the gender? What did you like about it?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you guys think it’s a boy or girl?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We feel like it’s a boy!

#19weeks

My days consist of eating, cleaning, entertaining

My days consist of eating, cleaning, entertaining Evelyn, eating again, cleaning some more, then repeat again the next day. Quarantining would be more relaxing if I wasn’t a mom 😆 how are you moms staying sane during all this?

17 weeks into pregnancy, coffee sounds good again 🙌🏼 no more food aversion but still love carbs 🥞 but trying to focus on eating mostly protein, good fats & lowering my carbs per advice from my midwife. Midwife took my bloodwork & said everything looks good 🙌🏼 recommended an iron supplement bc my levels were a tad low (she recommended Floradix iron)

I’m going to add a calcium supplement as well bc pregnant women are prone to cavities. She said the baby gets all the calcium I’m eating, last pregnancy I def got a lot of cavities 😔

Supplements she suggests for pregnant women:
raw prenatal with folate - helps prevent neural tube defects
raw vitamin D3 5000IU - May safeguard against preterm delivery, strengthen babies bones
omega-3/DHA - maintains healthy hormone levels, helps brain development in baby (stop taking at 36 weeks)
probiotics
vitamin B complex - essential for iron absorption, can help with nausea

Starting at 20 weeks:
Raw garlic - optimizes vagina & gut flora
Probiotics - helps boost immune system, enhances production of vitamin B & K
Red raspberry tea - prepares uterus for labor

She also said to avoid corn syrup or high fructose corn syrup bc it actually contains the heavy metal mercury!

Good pictured: my gf oat banana pancakes (recipe on website) topped with cashew butter, raspberry jelly & hemp hearts, with organic coffee, tad bit of milkadamia with grassfed butter, cinnamon & stevia ☕️

Lemon sugar face & lip scrub 🍋 ok this one is A

Lemon sugar face & lip scrub 🍋 ok this one is AMAZING, makes skin feel sooo soft & smooth. Plus it’s so easy to make! You can make it out of what’s in your pantry! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1/4 cup of any sugar
- 1 tbs sunflower, olive or avocado oil
- drops of essential oils of choice
- 1 tsp melted manuka honey (optional)

I put it in my old toothpaste glass jar!
Swipe for video.

Sugar may not be good to eat but it’s actually good for your skin!! It rubs off dead skin cells, hydrate skin, & retain moisture.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sunflower oil is high in vitamin e, rejuvenates & heals skin. Lemon essential oil is antibacterial & can brighten skin tone.

Lavender essential oils help wrinkles, acne, dryness & dark spots.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Manuka honey balances skin pH, helps slough away dead skin, decrease acne inflammation & is antibacterial.

DIY hair mask 💁🏻‍♀️🥥 my hair is fee

DIY hair mask 💁🏻‍♀️🥥 my hair is feeling dry & in need of a trim. But quarantine got me figuring out other solutions! It’s super important to avoid endocrine disrupters when pregnant, so I made my own to ensure I’m avoiding those toxins.

Endocrine disrupters are found in most beauty products. Endocrine disrupters disrupt the hormones, can cause infertility, can cause harm to growing fetus, & many other issues. To avoid them: make your own products, buy products that say: “phthalate free, sulfate free, paraben free & fragrance free”

Hydrating hair mask:
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 2 tbs jojoba oil
- lavender & cedarwood

Whip coconut & jojoba oil together on high speed for a few minutes! Then add essentials oils & continue whipping for 30 seconds. Swipe for video!

Leave in ends of hair while showering. Shampoo excess off. Enjoy moisturized hair!

I drizzled maple syrup & coconut sugar on top towards the end of it cooking for some extra yummy texture!

How many beauty items have you tossed & replaced f

How many beauty items have you tossed & replaced for non toxic versions? Screen shot, fill out in your story & share your results or leave a comment with your score 👇🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the years I’ve slowly been replacing the products I used for clean, non toxic versions.

It’s okay to start slow, it can feel overwhelming at first! My advice: once you run out of a product, buy a new one that has better ingredients.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ingredients to avoid:
- fragrances or perfumes
- sulfates, parabens, phthalates
- dyes
- chemical names you don’t recognize!

Some of my favorite brands:
@ettaandbillie @beautycarenaturals @bambuearth @mollys_suds @native ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What clean beauty product companies do you love?? Think Dirty App is a great resource to find clean beauty products if you’re looking for new ones.

If you’re looking for non toxic make up, I’ve switched all mine to @beautycarenaturals & love it!! It’s cheaper than any other non toxic make up I’ve seen. Use “deannaskolosbcn” for free shipping!

Swipe to see my results! I haven’t swapped eye shadow bc I have a big palette & barely use it but once I run out will get a better version. Same with my leave in conditioner. Dry shampoo I’ve tried natural but feels like it doesn’t work well enough for me so that one is hard for me to give up 😬 what items are hard for you to give up?

Merry Christmas from the Skolos fam!!! Hope you all had an amazing day 🙌🏼

Rudolph cupcakes 😍 cute, guilt free treats for the holidays. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 1 box @simplemills chocolate muffin mix (gluten free, dairy free, rsf) (you need 3 eggs, oil, & 1/3 monk fruit sugar or sugar of choice)
- 1 jar @simplemills vanilla frosting
- 1/2 cup Lily’s stevia sweetened chocolate chips or choc chips of choice
- 1/2 tsp mct oil or coconut oil
- few raspberries ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- 2 tbs raw cacao powder

Make the cupcake mix as directions say on box. When doing cupcakes you add sugar, I added @lakanto monkfruit sugar. Bake 12 cupcakes in liners.

While they’re baking make the reindeer ears. Melt 1/2 cup of choc chips (save some for eyes) add mct oil to make choc sauce smoother. Get a baking sheet & parchment paper. Put choc in plastic bag, cut a very small corner off & squeeze reminder antlers onto parchment paper. Not gonna lie it’s difficult & messy 😆 or use fancy cake decorating things if you have it. Put them in the freezer to harden.

Let cupcakes cool. Put raw cacao powder into frosting to make it the light brown color. Spread thin layer onto cupcakes. Add choc chips for eyes, cut raspberries into small circles for noses, & add antler ears! 😁
