Pregnancy Safe Oils: Petra King Photography| Maternity + Baby + Wedding Photographer

Welcoming a baby into your life is such an exciting time. But it also makes you want to do better for yourself and your environment so that he/she can grow up healthy. One of the best ways to do so in my opinion is to try and eliminate toxins in your home. We are exposed to over 270 chemicals and toxins on a daily basis. Gross right? lol


If you haven’t already started to swap out products in your home, ditch the candles for essential oils. Young Living is the true pioneer of Essential Oils and have been around for 30 years. This family run business has a passion for bringing the BEST quality and sourced products to you and your home for every day use.
