Things to help pregnant moms stay cool in the summer

When I was pregnant last summer in Arizona, I was always miserable and continually looking for ways to cool off (besides taking a shower once an hour). My favorite friend became MistyMate's "Misty 2.5" personal mister ($10 at amazon.com).
This bad boy is slimmer than a baby bottle and about as tall. You can tuck it in your back pocket around the house or in your purse on the go and give yourself a fresh jolt every minute if you want. Another plus – it doesn’t need batteries. You just fill it with a little water, pump it a few times, then you can mist yourself down from head to toe. MistyMate claims that it can cool your climate up to 30 degrees. It’s great for pregnant moms and everyone else. My toddler thinks it’s a special treat to get to mist herself too!
Sound Good? Why stop there! Use the MistyMate in combination with these four other great products for a summer of refreshment:
•Burt’s Bees Lavender Complexion Mist ($10) – This cooling mist has a calming effect, is nourishing for the skin, and can be kept in the fridge for extra zing. Plus it smells great and is 100% natural!
•Burt’s Bees Mama Bee Leg and Foot Crème ($9) – Burt’s Bees comes thru with another winner with this invigorating leg crème especially for pregnant gals. The peppermint oil cools while energizing tired muscles. Can’t beat that.
•Aveda’s Blue Oil Balancing Concentrate ($12.50)– I first tried this when my massage therapist rubbed a few drops into my scalp. It’s a stress-reliever plus is billed by Aveda as “cooling acupressure therapy.” Made with peppermint oil and blue chamomile, it can be used on the scalp, muscles, or anywhere else that needs a little lift.
•Palapa Azul Frozen Fruit Bars – Available at Wild Oats, Whole Foods, and other specialty food stores. These frozen goodies are revitalizing and fill another pregnancy desire – the need to munch on treats. They are all natural and come in a variety of refreshingly fun flavors, including: Watermelon, Mango, and Cucumber-Chile.
