Aveda Hospital Bag Essentials

Hi there! I am Shauna Hyler, I have been a Hair Designer and Makeup Artist for 10 years at Neroli Salon and Spa, Aveda lover, and mom of one crazy two year old girl and one on the way. I am 29 weeks along now and starting to prep my hospital bag. Having been through this once I have an idea of what I used, what I wished I had, and what I could have left at home. These are some of my favorite products from Aveda, some I had with me last time and some weren’t event launched yet at the time of my first child’s birth! Take and look, you may just want to toss a couple of these essentials into your bag before you head off to meet your new addition!

• Aveda Essentials Compact with your shade of Inner Light Mineral Dual Foundation, my perfect match is Almond, and neutral shade of Nourishment Sheer Mineral Lip Color, I chose Sheer Clover, it looks good on anyone and you can sweep it on for a little pick me up with little room for error.
• Mosscara in shade Black Forest will perk up even the most tired eyes. These three makeup must haves will brighten you up before the photographer is there to snap those welcome to the world pictures of your new bundle.
• Lavender Fluers Oil Singular Note, a calming aroma that can also aide in easing the pain of swollen areas of the body, I like it for my feet and ankles at the end of pregnancy and after delivery.
• Botanical Kinetics Skin Care Starter Set, you may not have the time or interest in doing a full on facial ritual but, simply washing your face with a good quality cleanser or spritzing your face with a refreshing splash of toner might make you feel human again.
• Shampure Hand and Body Wash , hospital body wash? No thank you. This has the lightest aroma and is super gentle on the skin.
• Shammy Cloth, cleanse your face or body, glides across delicate skin with irritating.
• Shampure Dry Shampoo, because who wants to spend time washing their hair when there are 10 little fingers and 10 little toes to kiss?

The most important thing your baby will need is you. Keeping a few things close to help you feel your best can make those long days in the hospital feel more bearable.

You got this!
