MUST HAVE MATERNITY ITEM: Body Con Dress
This post is in partner with Ingrid and Isabel. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. I feel like I say this every week, but wow another week has already flown by! I guess this back-to-school-it’s-almost-fall-and-time-to-have-a-baby season can’t last forever.

411 on Bluelight
Have you ever heard of blue light? I am going to assume no because until recently I had no idea what it was myself! Blue light comes from the sun, as well as LED lights and digital device screens. People today are exposed to more blue light than ever. Blue light suppresses our body’s release of melatonin, which helps regulate our sleep cycles. More of it during the day helps us to stay awake, and less of it at night makes us sleep better. The problem is that with digital screens at work, home and school, there are more sources of blue light than ever. Most American’s daily screen time…
