Pamper Yourself Like A Celebrity Mom
After a long tiring day on a movie set, celebrity moms need to rest up and unwind. If they need a break, so do you momma! After feeding, washing, cleaning and dealing with toddlers who have melt downs at the mere thought of nap time, you need to put your feet up and enjoy some “me” time. Why not pamper yourself like a fabulous star and have a little spa moment at home? Wait till the wee ones are fast asleep, pop on your guilty afternoon soap, break out the bon bons and tear into your new treat from FARMHOUSE FRESH. A favorite of celeb mommy COURTENEY COX, FARMHOUSE FRESH makes fabulous creams and scrubs that will take indulgence to a new level. We had to try their Honey Heel Glaze after hearing so much about it, and we are hooked. It smells so delicious that it should have a “do not eat warning”. It comes in a charming jam jar and includes a little application brush to make it even more posh. It’s our new obsession. Our heels are soft and subtle just in time for spring. We recommend exfoliating with FARMHOUSE FRESH Fine Foot Scrub first (an Oprah fave), as this makes the glaze even more effective. So put aside the laundry, let the dishes soak and let the baby nap an extra half hour. Get gorgeous heels at www.farmhousefreshgoods.com in the US, and our Canadian mommies can go to www.summersoles.ca
Mommy Makeover
January is the perfect time to switch things up and do something for yourself momma! It’s time to toss the old and bring in the new. We started with the basics here at Celebrity Baby Clothes and love the results. We’ve ditched all our old makeup and upgraded to the fabulous and luxurious JANE IREDALE line of skin care makeup. A long time favorite of celebrity moms who need to have healthy glowing skin (NICOLE KIDMAN and TERI HATCHER are said to be fans), JANE IREDALE uses the highest quality minerals to help soothe, protect and enhance your beauty. We are hooked on their Loose Mineral Powder….so smooth and makes my skin feel soft and flawless. Also on our must have list is their Sugar & Butter Lip Duo. One end has an exfoliator made of beeswax and organic brown sugar while the other end has a tinted lip plumper that makes you look fabulous while you run errands with the kids. The beauty buzz of 2007 was mineral makeup, so start with the best and check out JANE’S creations. They’re free of all those nasty chemicals and talc “fillers”, and have an A-List following. Click on over to www.janeiredale.com and start your mommy makeover.
Love That Tummy
For all you pregnant mommies out there, have we got something fab for you! As you know, anything GWYNETH PALTROW has, we need to have (yes…still slightly obsessed). She was gifted a while back with BELLA B’S brilliant TUMMY HONEY, a must have to keep that growing belly baby soft and itch free. We’ve been hooked since and just had the chance to try their amazing eye cream. It really helped with the dark circles, and that chronic morning puffiness (if it could only convince the toddler to sleep through the night!). Love the subtle and refreshing scent and that it costs way less that any other eye cream I’ve tried. What more do you need? Owned by Gwynnie and tested and approved by us at Celebrity Baby Clothes, BELLA B is a definite must have. Check out all Mother’s Intuition has to offer at www.mothersintuition.com

Keep It Klean
There is nothing more enjoyable after a long day of diaper changes, flying apple sauce, and runny noses (not to mention mountains of laundry and trying to decide what everyone will eat for supper) than locking yourself away in the bathroom with new spa products. I am a product junky, and our latest discovery has me wrapped in pure bliss. KLEAN BATH+BODY makes the most delicious scrubs, body butters and massage oils. Our favorite here at Celeb Baby Clothes? Has to be the scrumptious Brown Sugar Body Polish…I’ve never been so smooth. Didn’t even need moisturizer after using it, but since indulgence is key with any home spa experience, slathering on the Whipped Shea Butter seemed appropriate. KLEAN uses natural ingredients like almond oil, shea butter, coffee and green tea oil. Their scrubs are effective and the scents are super relaxing. So book yourself some “me” time momma and lock the bathroom door, pour a yummy glass of Shiraz, fill the tub and soak and scrub the evening away. Get KLEAN at www.kleanbathandbody.com
Mommy Time
As much as I love shopping for my little dear, I love treating myself to a present every now and then too. We deserve it mommas…those babies aren’t raising themselves. Between all the dirty diapers, apple sauce on the walls and endless onesies to wash, you need a moment to yourself. Don’t wait for anyone to spoil you…spoil yourself. The other day we tested out a fab new soap that has “Mommy Time” written all over it. BIGGS & FEATHERBELLE, a fave of the gorgeous HEIDI KLUM, makes a scrumptious soap called Momma Bear that is all natural and full of essential oils to keep you soft and smooth. The minute we opened it we knew it was going to be a favorite of ours here at Celeb Baby Clothes as well. The scent of lavender hits you immediately and when I got out of the tub (the only place a mom can truly escape the madness) my skin was super soft. I didn’t even put cream on, and I always put cream on. Must be the olive and avocado oil they use. BIGGS & FEATHERBELLE make balms and soaks that are free of all those crazy chemicals. Love it! We think this soap will make a spot on Christmas gift or shower present. A mom-to-be needs all the relaxing lavender she can get. Lather up with Momma Bear at www.biggsandfeather.com.
New York Style
We have to tell you about a fabulous new boutique in New York City that will become an absolute addiction. PINK OLIVE BOUTIQUE, located in the East Village, is all about babies, gifts and great getaway gear, three subjects we love here at Celebrity Baby Clothes. We think their well thought through collection of onesies, stationary and clothing is fresh and so chic. Love the layout and the look of this Manhattan gem. If you are a sucker for original onesies, then may we suggest PINK OLIVE’S own line of yummy treats? We love our tutu wearing olive with “Perf” written across the front of the onesie. So delicious. TRISTA SUTTER of The Bachelorette ( loved that show…best guilty pleasure ever) received a PINK OLIVE original too. She got the diapered olive with “Waah”. Don’t fret momma if you can’t make it over to lower Manhattan, cause PINK OLIVE has an online boutique too. Put your tired feet up, take a sip of that much needed skinny latte and check out www.pinkoliveboutique.com
Find Of The Week: California Baby
Being the first day of summer, we thought we should rave about our favorite sun screen for children. CALIFORNIA BABY is our beach time must have, as well as California celeb mommy DENISE RICHARDS, according to Child Magazine (my fave “mommy time”read). Their sunscreen is chemical free and uses all natural ingredients, so it’s safe for your wee one. We love the non-greasy feel and they’re right when they say it works great for mommy’s face under make-up…no sticky mess while it protects you from dreadful wrinkles. If your planning a camping trip or a family hike or two this sunny season, don’t forget to keep the buggies off the kids. CALIFORNIA BABY makes the best combo of sunscreen and bug repellent out there, and it’s super safe for little tots over 6 months. Their Citronella Bug Blend keeps the bites at bay with citronella, cedar wood and lemongrass, and it won’t sting the eyes. How convenient and fantastic is that? We love 2 in 1 products…leaves more room in the diaper bag for a gossip mag. We love all their fresh products, from the yummy I LOVE YOU Bubble Bath (with essential oils) to their gifts packs that make a great baby shower gift. So go frolic in the sun, just remember to slap on the sun screen and slip on a fabulous hat. Check out the buzz at www.californiababy.com
Sunscreen SPF 30+ – No Fragrance, 2.9 oz

Find Of The Week:Largo’s Lipstick
Sometimes all you need to feel fabulous is a great lipstick. You can be schlepping around in your baggy jogging pants and an old pub crawl tee with mac-n-cheese stains courtesy of your darling daughter….you slip on some yummy lipstick and PRESTO…you feel like Cindy Crawford. Well, maybe that’s a bit dramatic, but I truly feel a million times better once I have a little color on my lips. VINCENT LARGO, uber makeup artist to the stars and celeb mommies of Hollywood has just the thing for summer. His BABY BALM LIPSTICK SPF12 is a definite mommy must have. It’s a gloss meets lipstick/balm. The best of all worlds, and it comes in subtle shades that will look great at the beach with the family and out for a romantic date with the husband . It moisturizes and gives your lips a boost of natural looking color. VINCENT has worked with such gorgeous celeb mommies as GWYNETH PALTROW (where have you been hiding lately?) and SARAH JESSICA PARKER (loving the look of her affordable new line Bitten). Our fave is the Bon Voyage shade….makes us feel like we’re picnicking at Versailles… so glamorous. See all that MR. LARGO has to offer at www.vincentlongo.com
Yummy Bath Oil
I am a beauty product addict and I think my little tot is on her way there too. She loves the pretty packages and scrumptious smells as much as her mommy. We just started using MUNDO’S Baby Oil with delectable calendula. So rich and moisturizing, our skin will be super soft for summer. That’s the beauty of this fab MUNDO product, it can be used for you and baby. Put a little in the tub, or massage it onto baby’s skin after a bubble bath. Relaxation and bonding all in one fantastic bottle. We love how simple and pure MUNDO baby products are. Plants, jojoba oils, and organic herbs and flowers make up the soothing concoctions we have fallen in love with. Mommy Tip: I rub the Baby Oil on my feet at night and put on some sensible socks (yah, I know…really sexy) and in the morning VOILA!…soft smooth feet to slip into my sandals. Check out all of MUNDO’S yum body products for you and baby at www.mundoproducts.com.
Bella Mama: Pampering At It’s Best
When pregnant, all you want is to feel pampered and glowing. If you’re feeling a little less than stellar while your body undergoes a million physical and emotional changes (emotional wreck anyone?), then get yourself a mommy treat. Celebrity moms are letting us in on their little pregnancy beauty secret: BELLA MAMA, makers of healthy and soothing necessities for expecting parents. ANGELINA JOLIE and GWYNETH PALTROW can now count BELLA MAMA (and yummy BRAD PITT) as something in common. KATE HUDSON and GWEN STEFANI also love the all natural line of products. Now we know how those gorgeous Hollywood mommies keep up appearances through morning sickness and 4 AM feedings. We love all our products from BELLA, but our favorite is the Belly Butter, great for that super itchy belly and for minimizing those wretched stretch marks. So delicious and rich, with a delicate scent of lavender, mandarin and sweet orange. It’s a beauty must have for me, pregnant or not. We also can’t live without their Face and Body Spritzer, also a must have for MRS. AFFLECK. JENNIFER loves the green tea and rose bud concoction as well. I knew we would have something in common. Better yet, get a bit of everything with their fab starter kit. Get on the same yummy mummy page like us and check out the irresistible treats at BELLA MAMA www.bellamama.com.
