I am drawn to initial jewelry and monograms. Maybe it stems from the validated feeling I got as a kid when I found my name in the selection of personalized key chains they sold at gift shops, but I love having things customized. I knew I wanted a piece of jewelry with my son’s initial…
When I was pregnant, my mother-in-law generously took me shopping for a few nice maternity pieces.

The cleaner is $18 at Amazon and is eligible for Prime. Beautyblender Makeup Sponge and Brush Cleaner
