• I have used the dry skin brushing method lately and just some water. My skin has been less dry. There are some good organic lotions at iherb.com that aren’t that expensive. I’ve also heard that coconut oil is a good moisturizer.

• Try eating every 3 hours or so. It’s the only thing that made me feel better first trimester of my second pregnancy. I found that carrying around a stash of nuts in my purse was useful. :)
