I’m officially 38 weeks pregnant, and I needed a real “before baby gets here” glow up—because the swelling, the dizziness, and the overall third-trimester struggle has been very real. In this vlog, I take y’all through my morning self-care and skincare (thyroid pill, nausea pill, cleanser, gua sha, vitamin C, and SPF—even in the house because blue light is a thing). I also show how I’m dealing with facial puffiness and sinus pressure, plus the little things that help me feel like myself again, like compression socks and a light fragrance. Then we get into the labor hair situation… which was honestly diabolical for me to even try at almost 38 weeks. I washed and blew out my hair, attempted extensions, and it turned into a whole fail (human hair + washing = knots), so I pivoted and did simple twists I can pull up fast when them contractions hit. After that, I squeezed in my toes, a Brazilian wax (pregnancy sensitivity is no joke), and bae surprised me with a one-hour foot massage in Flushing. The massage was amazing—pressure points, reduced swelling, and I even had an emotional release, which I had never experienced before. By the end, I felt like everything finally fell into place and I was actually ready to meet baby boy.
