I’m a sucker for the lavender bedtime wash. Brooklyn has been congested for the last week and I’ve found it to be amazing at calming and helping to decongest her. Thanks @Influensterca for sending these complimentary bath products to help ease the burden of a particularly stressful week! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Pro-tip: if you have the ability to make an appointment, MAKE THE APPOINTMENT! Don’t trust the lady on the phone that says “you can just drive through, it shouldn’t be long!” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
