Styling yourself
with a baby bump is no easy task, especially when you are well into the third
trimester. Book of Leisure's author, Elizabeth Kimbrough, pulls off
the next to impossible; at 38 weeks Elizabeth looks as stunning and flawless as
ever. I decided to get the inside scoop
on what this Southern Bell has been doing during her pregnancy. In our interview she
shares with us her beauty routine, the best advice she has been given, and her
favorite registry items.
1. What
was the inspiration for starting your blog?
Book of
Leisure originally started out as a blog to document my life as a newlywed,
over the following months though I found it taking more of a direction toward
personal style. Today it is pretty much a combination of the two, especially
here lately documenting our journey as becoming first time parents:)
2. You
are an expecting mom, so I have to ask what food have you been craving ,if any?
Haha, how
about everything?! Seriously, name something and at some point I've craved it.
You know the old wives tale-sweets for a girl, salty for a boy? We had no idea
what to expect since I was loving both! {We later found out we had a little boy
on the way}
3. What
were/are your top three must haves on your baby registry?
The Baby K'tan Baby Carrier-This is more affordable
than many other popular popular options out there and the fit is suppose to be incredible.
I've been told this is a great carrier for newborns since they can be wrapped
up so tightly, helping them feel secure while mom can carry on with what she
needs to get done.
Little Giraffe Blanket- The softest, comfiest
blanket ever. You will love wrapping your bitty in it and want one for your
own!
Fisher-Price My Little Snugabunny Bouncer- When I first began
registering my sister told me to be sure to add a good vibrating bouncer. I've
read endless praises of this bouncer...can't wait for little boy to snuggle up
in it:)
4. As
far as maternity wear what is an item that every expecting mom should invest
in?
A
great pair of maternity denim. You will wear these more than anything, so you
want to get jeans that you will feel great in. I found a couple of pairs at Gap
that I've absolutely loved.
5. What
has been the best advice you have received during your pregnancy?
I
was told to really savor this time with my husband. It's the last time it will
be just the two of us. So go to a movie, go to dinner, have fun!
6. What
is your favorite trend for spring 2014?
I've
always gravitated towards bold prints and lots of color, which is why I was
thrilled to see it incorporated into so many clothing lines this spring.
7. What
beauty product have you had in heavy rotation as of late?
My
biggest beauty investment here lately has to be my tummy cream- StriVectin SD
{aka-magic in a bottle}. It is pricier but I knew I didn't want to play with
the risk of getting stretch marks. At 38 weeks, not a mark in sight!
