Pregnant & Overwhelmed? Lauryn Bosstick's Shares Her Wellness Routine To Keep You Grounded

Pregnancy Routine

Lauryn Bosstick shares a personal routine covering skincare, nails, hair, body care, food, prenatal vitamins, wellness, reading, and heartburn. She notes that many of the products may also suit people who aren’t pregnant, but her pregnancy-specific choices reflect her own routine.

Skincare

She prefers a simple, dewy look and wears mineral tinted sunscreen when she isn’t working. Her routine includes face mists, a pregnancy-oriented serum, eye serum, facial oils for massage, vitamin C and other skincare products she considers pregnancy-safe, and a brow peptide. Facial massage is also part of her morning routine.

Nails

She wears short, square gel manicures and uses protective gloves during the curing-light portion. She pays attention to whether nail products contain HEMA, which she has heard can cause irritation.

Hair

She washes her hair about every two to two-and-a-half weeks and rarely uses dry shampoo. Her routine includes a scalp-stimulating brush, scalp massage, and at-home microneedling. She uses a separate hair towel and, when washing, Flamingo Estate shampoo and conditioner.

Body Care

Her body-care routine includes dry brushing, ending her shower with a brief cold rinse, and applying body oil before using a body-sculpting tool on areas where she notices cellulite. She keeps lotions and other body products to a minimum.

Movement and Maternity Clothes

She says she works out six or seven days a week because regular movement helps her feel better. She often wears Bumpsuit clothing for workouts and everyday activities.

Food and Drinks

She describes pregnancy eating as a balancing act between hunger, fullness, bloating, and heartburn. She gravitates toward simple foods such as butter-and-lemon pasta, cereal, sourdough toast, eggs, and meat-based meals, while trying to get plenty of protein.

• Burger-style meat bowl: Cooked venison with cheese, sour cream, optional Thousand Island dressing, tomato, white onion, jalapeño, and chopped salad greens.
• Collagen drink: Collagen powder and water mixed with beauty salt and lemon, grapefruit, or sometimes mango aminos. She froths the mixture.
• She also drinks iced tea, celery juice, and pineapple water. To make the pineapple water, she boils pineapple in water, chills it in bottles, and sometimes adds cinnamon sticks.

Prenatal Vitamin

She says she takes Ritual Essential Prenatal Multivitamin and prefers its mint flavor. She discusses ingredient transparency and says she values clinical testing. She also recounts a claim she heard from Gary Brecka about prenatal vitamins and postpartum mood; this is her account, not individualized medical guidance.

Daily Wellness

She tries to wake about 20 minutes before her children to meditate. She combines meditation with a red-light face mask and also mentions breathwork, evening meditations, mouth taping, and using red light in the bedroom. She says her family uses Branch Basics for cleaning.

Reading and Winding Down

She reads frequently during pregnancy and says physical books, paired with a red reading light, help her fall asleep more easily than reading on a Kindle. Books she mentions include The Tell, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, Mastery, and Uptown Girl.

Heartburn and Sleep

She describes using baking soda in water, Wonderbelly antacids, and magnesium, and says she sleeps on her left side. These are her personal practices, not medical instructions. Anyone who is pregnant should check with their healthcare professional before trying remedies or supplements.
