Well, this one is special you guys, we're pregnant, very pregnant, and by VERY I mean I'm already in my third trimester (and I'm still processing the fact that there's a baby inside me).
I've been meaning to share with you things that are hands down a MUST-HAVE during pregnancy, at least in mine. These are things that have been lifesaving and that have helped me so much to navigate through these inevitable changes we experience.
Whether you just found out that you are expecting or if you've been for a while this selection will work just fine for all of us.
I bought this BodySuit a long time ago and thank the heavens I did, it was the only piece I had in my closet that I could wear from the beginning of my pregnancy until this day. I got a size Small and it's still looking great, is very stretchy and comfy.
This Stanley Quencher is also something I've had for over a year now, I know you've seen this EVERYWHERE, and has become a trend for a reason, they are amazing, they hold a lot of liquid, and stay cold all day. My water consumption has always been great but as soon as I got pregnant the intake increased significantly, I can't leave my house without my quencher and it's always on my nightstand as well, definitely a must-have (plus they have a whole bunch of cute colors).
These Nursing Bras are just heaven-sent, I haven't been able to wear ANY of my ''Before Pregnancy'' bras, they are not only substantially small on me now but awfully uncomfortable, before purchasing these I simply decided to go out without any bras, or some nipple pads. These are very comfortable, so soft and it doesn't feel like you have anything on. You can also keep wearing them post-partum since they are indeed Nursing bras, they would make the whole pumping/breast-feeding process more comfortable. I got a size Large
Dear Mama's to be, YOU NEED THIS. My Husband got me this Pregnancy Pillow for Christmas and since then, it has been a huge help in the sleeping department. I've been struggling a lot with sleeping positions especially because I'm entering my third trimester so things are starting to get trickier. This helps a lot to keep a ''side position'' and still feel comfortable, you feel some support in your back so your belly will thank you.
I've decided to not get a whole new maternity closet because I simply thought it was not necessary, I just opted to find versatile pieces that I could wear comfortably while pregnant and still rock afterward. This Ribbed Bodysuit is not only stunning but it hugs you in all the right places and the bump looks very flattering, it's not see-through, the fabric is thick enough and it's pretty stretchy, I got a size Small and it fits beautifully, it's not tight at all.
This Walking Pad is definitely an investment and ''treat'' for you. If you've been like me, that thought that you would spend the entire pregnancy working out just like before and killing those calories and moving that body, but then reality hit you and it just happens to be that your energy levels are not existent and that all you want to do is chill and lay in bed, then this is a GREAT acquisition and motivation. This Foldable Walking Pad is amazing for small spaces, you can store it under your bed, your couch, or if you want to keep it as it is, then better. It helps you move your body at home without the hassle of getting ready and driving to the gym and all that jazz, PLUS it will probably be your BFF as soon as you can start working out after you give birth, especially because we won't want to leave our newborns with anyone else.
This Morning Sickness Relief is great especially if you're in your first trimester, they helped a lot at first, and the flavor is very pleasant. I wouldn't recommend them if you're struggling with severe morning sickness or to avoid throwing up. As I mentioned this would be great at first, but as soon as I started experiencing real morning sickness they stopped having any effects on me. If you are experiencing mild to moderate nausea these are great.
This Body Oil by Bio-Oil is amazing, I've been using it as soon I found out I was pregnant, I've emptied 2 bottles already and going hard on my third. I personally don't have any stretchmarks, it can be genetics, it can be the help of the oil, and of course the amount of hydration I've been having. But this oil is very soothing if you're experiencing the annoying itching on your belly, it's very hydrating and it also has a nice ''spa-like'' scent. If you want it fragrance-free, they also have that option available.
This Maternity Turtle Neck Bodysuit is a MUST. Turtle neck bodysuits have always been a staple in my closet/style but there was no way I could endure being in one of the pieces I already owned. This maternity option is amazing, feels like butter, looks great and it can also be a good option for those iconic Pregnancy Shoots you see on Pinterest. I got a size Small.
This Maternity Turtle Neck Bodysuit is just like the black one but you know, in white.
(We love some options, don't we?).
This Pregnancy Leggings are essential, it's the basic comfortable piece you need. They hold the belly very well, they're pretty stretchy and you could perfectly work out with them as well, and if you feel like going for a walk, it has some convenient side pockets for you to use. I got a size Small.
Do not let the picture fool you. This Sleeveless Black Bodysuit is stunning, it fits amazingly well and it's very comfy, the material is pretty thick so you won't experience any type of transparency, the breast area is padded so ''YAS to no bras''. I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant and it looks great on me, it's a very versatile piece that you can wear up or down. I got a size Medium thinking the Small would be too tight, even though the Medium looks good, there's a bit of extra fabric, and the Small would have been perfect.
You already know how much I love Desenio, I've been a fan for years. 90% of all the wall art we have around the apartment is from them and I can't get enough.
It was time to refresh things a little bit so, I ordered some more and had to share my picks with you. What I love about the brand is just how massive its options are, you have a very wide variety of designs, colors, and categories for you to choose from and to fit every style. I also love their different type of frames, I've been absolutely loving their light Oak frames so, so, much, it looks sophisticated, warm, and all-around stunning.
You can find direct links of my selections below, let me know what you think and what's your favorite style when it comes to wall art / art prints

I needed to share with you guys one of my new favorite furniture stores, Castlery, it's a modern furniture company, they craft furniture that is timeless, using the highest quality raw materials to create pieces that are built for longevity and multi-purpose use.
Their pieces are stunning, but my love at first sight with the Owen Sofa in Natural was definitely something special. It exceeded my expectations a whole lot by how comfortable and cozy it is, the fabric is beautiful and of amazing quality, I love I can also remove the covers and wash them if necessary. The natural wood touch it has goes perfectly well with our style, but if you are more into darker colors they also have ''Walnut'' as an option. If you want something bigger you can also have the Owen Sofa as a sectional, I know it's great!
Besides their beautiful selection of Sofas, they also have everything you need to furnish your home, their dining sets are stunning and I've been obsessing over their Amber Bouclé Swivel Chair it's hard not to, it's a beauty.
I'm very happy with my overall experience with the brand and I would 100% recommend their pieces.
If you are interested in one of their pieces they offer free fabric swatches, Flat rate shipping, Free shipping for shipment with a subtotal of $999 and above, a 14-day return policy & Warranty coverage.
I guess I did it again guys! I'm so excited and proud about this DIY project because I still can't get over how beautiful it turned out. I've been having a lot of fun, decorating, and creating things at home it has just become a huge passion of mine so I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. I'm definitely not a professional and this was actually my very first time creating a piece of furniture from scratch.
I've been wanting to get a Coffee table like this one and I actually had a bunch of them pinned on my Pinterest board but they were crazy expensive so in my search for inspo I came across @SonelyMateo's video on Instagram and loved the idea of creating one myself so that's exactly what I did, with the help of my beloved husband who cut the Pine boards for me at home and gave me a hand whenever I needed him. I didn't film a ''Tutorial'' perse, but in my Tiktok video (below) you can see pretty much the basic steps and what I did to achieve this beauty that I now enjoy and have right in front of me. At the very bottom of the post, you can also find some of the things/products I used for my DIY in case you want to recreate your own.
The overall dimensions of the coffee table - 28'' x 39'' x 16'' Tall. We used (3) 2''x 10''x 8'' Yellow Pine Wood Boards, we cut all the pieces we needed at home because we had the tools BUT we've always cut our wood at Home Depot so you can perfectly do that if you don't have the tools or are not willing to invest in some. We needed (3) 39'' planks for our top and (8) 16'' pieces for our legs. I used two different wood stains to achieve this gorgeous color, the first coat with White Wash Pickling and the second one with Early American. I'm absolutely in love with the table, it's the perfect statement piece in our living room it looks gorgeous and so high-end I'm still amazed.
If you guys have any questions please feel free to leave them all in the comment section, I'll be more than happy to get back to you.
@mandy.paulino Absolutely in love with the result🤩 #coffeetable #diycoffeetable #homeproject #furniturediy #diyproject #homedecor #interiordesign #fuenitureflip ♬ Calling My Name-JP - Pandicio Del Toro
