Bath and Body Works Mint Lip Gloss- Minty and shiny and a tiny bit of color. It's perfect for making you look a little more fancy and put together without actual lipstick. This doesn't have that sticky feel and residue that some lip gloss has.
Natural Ice Chapstick-- Funny thing about me, I can't sleep if I have dry lips. I put this on before I fall asleep every night. I also get thirsty a lot in the night, so I sleep with a Camelbak water bottle on my nightstand for a quick and easy drink.
Hearos Ear Plugs-- Another funny thing about me, I am a light sleeper. Any little noise wakes me up. Now I sleep with these earplugs in every night. You can still hear crying and talking noises, just not the little sounds like rustling of blankets or the quiet opening of a door. It takes a little getting used to to sleep with earplugs in, but these are super soft and comfortable.
DreamBaby Bath Seat-- Makes bath time with a baby/small toddler SO much easier! They can be independent as they splash and play, and you don't kill your back holding them up in the tub. 
Exergen Temporal Thermometer-- This is so awesome. Babies don't often cooperate having a traditional thermometer under their tongue or armpit so I never felt that I was taking accurate temperatures. Now I just swipe across their forehead a few times to make sure I get the same reading each time, and I know if they have a fever. Autumn had a febrile seizure when she was two, so we have to keep an eye on her fevers not getting too high. It is expensive compared to the regular kind, but we have used it hundreds of times, and I'm really glad we have it.
LL Bean Toiletry Bag-- I love the convenience of having most of my toiletries all packed and ready to go in this awesome toiletry bag. It hangs open to have easy access to all of the products inside. It is big enough for me to take all of my toiletries and toiletries for my kids, not including my makeup bag or curling iron/blowdryer/big brush hair stuff.
What are some of your favorite health and beauty products? I am looking for a really good detangler for Autumn's long hair and a great natural-smelling air freshener if anyone has advice (it's hard to keep our little apartment sweet smelling with the countless diaper changes every day!).
I love that thermometer! And I also love Natural Ice chapstick. I don't have a lot of great recommendations for health/beauty products. Matt and I have really liked some shampoo/conditioner I happened to pick up at Great Clips one time (though I have seen it elsewhere) called K-Pak by Joico. I've had to come up with another option for diaper rash treatment since using cloth diapers (regular rash cream ruins the diapers), so I've been letting the little bum air dry whenever he gets a rash then put a mix of lavender/coconut oil on it. I'm impressed with how quickly the rash clears (and it makes for a surprisingly lovely smell when I go to change the next diaper--odd to get a whiff of lavender with pee/poo!).
