The Guest Curator: Ashley Bellman, Entertainment Host & Co-Founder of Solspell
In our Guest Curator Series, we are asking some of our favorite creators, entrepreneurs, and tastemakers to tell us what they would put in a Nurtured 9 Gift Box to celebrate and support other women who are starting their motherhood journeys. In this edition, we’re unveiling the beautiful new Mama gift below, curated by entertainment & lifestyle host and SOLSPELL cofounder Ashley Bellman.
Meet The Curator
Ashley Bellman is an Emmy winning entertainment and lifestyle host and cofounder of SOLSPELL: a brand that she created with her sister, Gianna, when they couldn’t find a clean lip product that both treated and left lips with a glossy (not sticky) glow! Ashley is a toddler mom with her second baby on the way: @ashleybellman, @solspell.

The Curation:
what’s in Ashley’s gift box for a new mama?
Why Ashley Chose These Items:
SOLSPELL Vitamin D Lip Oil: “While pregnant and after birth my lips are always so dehydrated. My Vitamin D Lip Oil is always on hand…and the best part is, because it’s made with all good for you ingredients…it’s totally recommended and safe to wear while kissing your new little love!”
Nurtured 9 Maternity/Postpartum Pajama Set: “Comfort is key with a new little one at home, and living in PJs was my reality last time around, and I’m sure it will be the same this summer. BUT I still want to feel cute…so these are perfect!”
Polar Bear: “I love stuffed animals…always have always will!”
Kitsch Ice Roller: “I never used an ice roller before having my son…and now I’ll never stop. Especially with all those hormones running wild...this feel so luxe!”
Plush Socks with Non-Slip Grippers: “I started wearing grippy socks when I had my son and never stopped. When you are sleep deprived, better to not take any chances…and I love that these are fluffy and comfortable!”
Triple Chocolate Chip Postpartum Lactation Cookies: “I was fortunate enough to breastfeed for 15 months with my son (the only thing that came semi easy to me after my struggle to get pregnant and IVF journey). And I lived for yummy lactation cookies and snacks! I kept a little snack basket on my table next to my glider in the nursery.”
A huge thank you to Ashley Bellman for sharing her thoughtful gift curation with us!
