This afternoon I received a few skin care products that I purchased via HauteLook for babies and kids last week. Being a soon to be “new” Mommy, I have spent countless of hours browsing through the internet for safe and organic products to use on my baby. I came across “Episencial” which I tested on my skin and completely won my approval. I’m definitely going to buy another set for my sister Ivette to use on my niece. The last thing I want is for harmful ingredients to penetrate the gentle and delicate skin of my baby which is why I love the fact that its free from additives, parabens, and petroleum. Plus if you like the product yourself, you can use it too. 
I think I’m going to give the protective face balm for cold and dry Winter days a chance.
I think I’m going to give the protective face balm for cold and dry Winter days a chance. Anyway, so last night I entered my 5th lunar month (17 weeks) and I am already feeling huge. I haven’t gained much weight (I’m up to 7 lbs now) and all the weight is in my mid section. Thank goodness the women in my family are rare to stretch marks (since they are hereditary) and I have not had any issues with that. (Not saying they will never appear).
I am now to the point were I look pregnant (in some clothes) and it is making the clothes in my closet fit awkward and no longer normal. So a few days ago I went into “a pea in a pod” (the only maternity store I like so far) and found some really cute tops and dresses. I can’t wait until I’m at least 6 months to start shopping there. I remember I was so anti-maternity stores before but look who’s talking now. LOL.
Also check out this lovely blog I found a while ago that shows how stylish a pregnant woman can look, a very enjoyable blog. Island Chic
Love,
Dulce Candy and the Baby
i love the hungry caterpillar by eric carl ( : lol im such a bookworm
enjoy yourself!
awww..how exciting! ur baby is growing and growing!
n_n
As far as stretch marks go i got 3 little tiny marks on one side of my belly and thats it. But i gained 40lbs not 7!!! At 5 months i was tiny too but then i exploded and got really big. Good luck with your pregnancy and just know you can't protect you child from EVERYTHING! if things are so horrible then all babies would have issues.
just to let you know, i work at forever 21 and i honestly love their maternity clothes more than the regular sized lol
you should deff check them out.
i dont think all forever 21 carries it but i know mine does.
You did this post on my 20th bday.
lol
please check out my channel candy. and tell me what you think/
I have alot of great things coming up.

So excited for you and your baby. On the subject of stretch marks some of my friends have had a lot of success using cocoa butter on their tummy and sides. Keeps the skin moist and helps prevent stretch marks. Good luck.
Aww congrats on the baby! This is a wonderful time I hope you enjoy it!
Congrats, loving the products!
awww, Dulce, I love how dedicated you are! You are quite lucky to not have stretch marks run in the family, I've had em since I was 15 and I was 85 pounds then, haha. I pray your pregnancy continues safely and blessed!
I love how they used "the hungry caterpillar" xD its so cute! You should post a new pic of your belly! Idk if you've said if the baby is a boy or girl just yet but i cant wait to find out!
Hi Dulce! Good thing you did buy safe products. I've been trying to do the same these past months. I actually wrote a post today on safe products. I'm hoping a lot of people that read your blog start buying sfae prodcuts. Because a lot of ingredients are very toxic for our bodies. Take care chica!

CHECK OUT MY BLOG GUYS….i would really appreciate it
Another great, affordable line for maternity clothes is the Liz Lange for Target line. And I think Heidi Klum has a line for Pea in the Pod, no? There are so many options nowadays for expecting moms.
Hey Dulce! I was really curious about the link to Island Chic that you posted so I clicked it to see what it was about. It kinda struck me that the girl was always wearing high heals. That can be really bad for your spine. It;s already under extra pressure trying to sustain the weight of the baby, you really shouldn't make it work even more trying to support the heals. I know that ballet flats don't always look as fancy as heals, but when you're pregnant health is crucial.
stretch marks… I have ZERO!!! I used the Clarins Hulie tonic along with their stretch mark control cream…. I recommend it… a bit pricey but totally worth it
As far as stretch marks go got lucky i have none,i used tons of cocoa butter?think thats what its called i forgot already.
but my mom doesn't have stretch marks too think its hereditary…
just eat all you want to eat dont worry bout gaining weight thats one thing i LOVE during pregnancy.=)and ofcourse you can still look gorgeous and fabulous,fashionable even if you are preggers=)so dulce pls do a blogpost now=)excited to see it,and oh so excited to see your baby=)take good care=)
oh my god, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar"!! I love that book so much
SO ADORABLE! I'd totally buy these products myself!
the bottles are just too cute!! hope all is well with you and the baby! you will be an amazing mommy!

I didn't get stretch marks during my pregnacy because I would use cocoa butter on my tummy and my sides twice a day. I used alot of it and I don't have not one strech mark and every other woman in my family has them.

You don't know how lucky you are! Stretch marks run in my family, and I already have them all over the place despite not being big. Not to mention I've gotten more since I lost weight this summer! I can only imagine the kind of stretch marks I'll get when I'm pregnant! Ek, noooo!
Stay happy and healthy!

Hey Dulce!
First of all, I'm very happy for you and your baby!
However, you said stretch marks are not hereditary. There is a genetic component, simply because you inherit certain things from your parents, but it doesn't mean that whatever happened to the other women in your family will happen to you.
Stretch marks appear when your skin is stretched too far out and "breaks". All you can do to avoid them is improve your skin's elasticity. That's your best bet! Biotherm has a really good cream for that and cocoa butter is supposed to work as well!
Love,
Xoxoxo
Have you looked on Forever21.com? They have a section of Maternity clothes. You should check it out (:
WOW. Those products look awesome! If you do get stretch marks BIO OIL is really good for getting rid of them!

Congrats on the soon to be new baby!! My daughter (8) and I love to watch your youtube videos together..it has become something that we sit on the couch and do together after her little brothers go to bed at night. Thanks for the info and entertainment girl!!
So cute bottels. Palmers cocoa butter cream is super good for strechmarks.I can't promise that it will help you, but it helped me. And a friend a of mine got stretchmark during her pregnancy. I told her to use palmers and now you can't almost see the marks. Shedidn't belive me at first , now she's so happy!
I love your blog!!! congrats on that baby that keeps on growing!!!
love,
Vicky
I am wondering about why my comment is removed. I said stretch marks are not heriditary all the time and even body builders get them from their skin stretching. I also said that you might not see anything right now at 4 months but many women get them in the last month. So what is so wrong in what I said that you had to remove it? Somebody else said the same thing. Actually more than one person. I still see their comments.
Forever 21 now has a materinty line!

Another thing to avoid while you're pregnant and your belly is all stretched out is not to scratch your belly. I did it while I was pregnant and since my nails were long it created a stretch mark on my belly
aww thx gurlie i adore your blog too…I have'nt posted in a while but I will tonite scouts honor:)
speaking of maternity clothes, they have a line from forever 21 called love 21 full of maternity clothes! i just wanted u to know! u might already know that
Them products look really good and I love the packaging
Please follow my blog Dulce and any1 else
Ill have some review posts and other stuff up soon
These products seem to be a total score and like you said, I'd definitely be the one to use them on myself, as well.
Congratulations!
It's nice to see that you're so cautious and handling your pregnancy so carefully and responsibly.

OMG Gizmo got so big!!! He's super cute! You should put more pics up of your dogs!!!

You know what parabens are for right. The keep bacteria from growing in your products. If The products don't have this protection and you put something stale on your baby then I would really worry. Especially since it's still gonna be a while before you have your baby. Your products are gonna be there for a while. Store them carefully.

You're inspirational to all people who strive to do what they want to do. You shine like no other. Thanks to u, I'm going to do what I want to do myself! I love your videos, your blogposts…
Keep being you! Thanks!
Sorry, but I've lost all respect for you. I think you're a great makeup artist and I looked for your advice. But, no 23 year old should have been TRYING To get pregnant with her BOYFRIEND… I know this is MY opinion, but its disgusting and shameful. Seems like you're parading it around like it's no big deal. I'm in my early twenties and I just find it appalling and NOT a good role model for your younger crowd. This isn't a message that you should want floating around.. take some advice from Kandee the makeup artist. Best wishes.
