We’re super excited at BG HQ! There’s a new baby joining the extended BG family – my little sister is having a baby! Her first! Squee! *insert new auntie dance here*

So, I’ve sent her, as a little treat, a Mummy & Baby Countdown Kit from those lovely people at Love Boo. It’s basically all the skincare goodies you need for a growing bump and new baby. The kit contains award-winning natural skincare products, so you can pamper yourself and your baby or it makes the perfect new mum or baby shower present for a friend or family member.

The Countdown Kit includes, for mum:

• Silky Soft Body Wash, which includes lemon and ginger to ward off morning sickness.
• Splendidly Soothing Bath Soak, to relax and prevent itchy skin.
• 100% natural Super Stretchy Miracle Oil – hydrated skin helps prevent stretch marks.
• Soft & Creamy Body Smoother, helps skin stay moisturised for hours, thanks to hibiscus and centella.
• Perineum Oil – helps prepare your body for birth; to stretch where it matters most!

and for baby:

• Very Gentle Top to Toe Wash
• Love Boo Kind & Creamy Baby Lotion
• Soft & Splashy Bubbles – this one creates masses of foamy bubbles without drying delicate skin.
• Soothing Bottom Butter.

Lovely! It’s safe to use when pregnant and nursing, and the baby products safe to use from birth. Importantly, the products contain no parabens, sulphates, TEA, petrochemicals, synthetic colours, DEA or PEGS. No nasties at all! The set comes in a lovely little gift box, and the body wash and bath soak smell soooooo good. £60, exclusively from John Lewis.
