Mommy Time
Life is not just a bin full of dirty diapers. You need some "ME" time momma to rejuvenate and relax. Treat yourself to an at home mani & pedi. Wait until your little bean is tucked in for a nap, flip on your favorite soap (ours is GH) turn off the ringer and give your nails a much needed make over. OPI is the brand of choice for all the celebs (mommies included) and has been featured in just about every magazine out there. Open any make up artist's bag and you'll see an OPI bottle or two. Celeb mommy MADONNA (we so don't believe all those "marriage on the rocks" rumors) and KATE HUDSON (we didn't believe her marriage was falling apart either…we were so wrong) are reported fans of OPI'S fab nail colors. We love their new Australian themed colors, especially KANGAROOBY and FAIR DINKAM PINKAM. If you want an edgy look thats on all the hands of Hollywood, try OPI'S LINCOLN PARK AFTER DARK, fun for a date night. As an extra treat, try OPI'S VANILLA SPICE JUICIE to moisturize and heal up your dry winter hands. You'll smell yummy and have gorgeous hands, just like all the other hot moms.

Soak Your Mommy Troubles Away
We all have difficult days. Mommies do…daddies do…babies do…even glamorous overpaid celebrities do. What do celeb moms NICOLE KIDMAN, MADONNA and KATE HUDSON do when they break a Manolo heel, or spill apple sauce on their Chloe trousers? They run a hot bath and pour in some bath salts from the celebrity fave ERBAVIVA (www.erbaviva.com). Their legendary bath salts fill the room with lavender and rose scents an help you forget your hectic day. Try mixing them with their bath oil (or any bath oil handy) and you'll have yourself a yummy body scrub. ERBAVIVA was started by a husband and wife who wanted to make chemical free body products for moms and babies. Now they have grown into a cult following for celebs and their tots. They have tons of yummy products and carry many organic bath essentials as well. We all may not be movie stars, but we can pretend and live like them once in a while. Source : People

Bonding Time For Mom and Child
I am a L'OCCITANE addict. They have yet to make something I don't love. Shea Butter Hand Cream…love it. Lavender Foot Cream…need it. Their latest concoction that makes me happy is the NECTAR DE MASSAGE. It is the most delicious honey smelling massage cream ever. If you have ever used their HONEY HARVEST EXTRA FOAMING BATH then you know what I am talking about. It's for the kiddies as well, anyone three years or older can benefit from this yummy honey cream. So lovely after a bubble bath. L' Occitane, a long time favorite of Hollywood mammas, stylists and industry insiders is socially conscience, which makes me as a mom more inclined to purchase their goods. L'Occitane uses braille on many of their packages to aid the blind, and also run a school to introduce blind children to the world of perfume and scents. Very wonderful and fabulous.

Carol’s Daughter Loved By Celeb Parents
Once in a while a beauty product comes along that celebrities can’t get enough of. It has to be fabulous, come in sleek packaging and offers something unique. CAROL’S DAUGHTER BEAUTY BY NATURE does all that and more. Featured on OPRAH and THE VIEW and used by celebs parents such as BRAD PITT and JADA PINKETT SMITH, these beauty products are a cult fave. I’m a beauty product junky, so buying things that the whole family can use is a bonus, and a lot of their stuff is usable for men, women and kids. Our must haves are the HAIR MILK, and the BODY JELLY, great for moms and kiddies. They have tons of great products for babies and pregnant women , full of delicious ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil, and sage. The Jolie-Pitts must be one yummy smelling family.
Celebrity Moms Love L’Occitane
Over coffee with some mommy friends, the conversation turned to L'Occitane and how much we love their products. So rich, yummy and delicious, you feel like a Queen when you slather their shea butter hand cream on (I like to put it on at night and wrap my hands up in cloth gloves from the drug store, your hands are soft like butter in the morning). Also tops at CELEBRITY BABY CLOTHES is their VANILLA FONDANT LIP GLOSS, makes a tired mommy feel a little extra special. Celeb mommies that love the French company's goodies are NICOLE KIDMAN and MARY LOUISE PARKER (can you believe her boyfriend actor Billy Crudup left Mary when she was 7 months pregnant for actress Clair Danes? Classy). NICOLE loves their Verbena scented scrub and bath salts according to PEOPLE magazine. I'm not so much a fan of the Verbena as I am of the CRUSHED GRAPE POLISH. So decadent. So French. MARY LOUISE ( stars in that hilarious show WEEDS on Showcase) is a fan of their SHEA BUTTER HAND CREAM. According to INSTYLE magazine, MARY LOUISE slathers on the cream when she gets on a plane. L'Occitane is fast becoming a fave in Hollywood and many of their products have been featured in mags such as Allure and Elle. Wait until the baby is asleep, pour a cup of coffee, put your tired feet up and drench yourself in some French countyside shea butter.

Yummy Tummy
Stretch marks come with the territory of pregnancy for most women. Everyone has a favorite cream or remedy to prevent them, even celebrities. The cream chosen by celeb mommies GWYNETH PALTROW and JENNIE GARTH ( I can not stop watching reruns of 90210, it's become an embarrassing addiction while the baby naps) is the fab TUMMY HONEY by Mother's Intuition. Love, love, love it! TUMMY HONEY is hypoallergenic and has all natural ingredients such as shea butter and avocado oil. Smells yummy too. I may not be able to have GWYNETH'S movie star roles or her big fat bank account, but I can have her tummy. Not the same size tummy, but at least just as soft and free of stretch marks. Thanks TUMMY HONEY!

Mommy Gwyneth’s Choice
We just love finding out all the little beauty secrets and mommy tips of celeb mommy GWYNETH PALTROW. Everything from what she did to loose the baby weight ( Dr. Joshi's Hollistic Detox helped, and plenty of gym time) to what she dresses her little beans in when it gets cold ( check out the fabulous La Folie Knits to get Apple's winter style, (www.lafolieknits.com). Now we know what the movie star actress uses to keep her babes skin soft and smooth. WELEDA CALENDULA BABY OIL according to Tatler magazine is what Mrs.Martin uses after bath time to sooth her wee ones. Made with sweet almond oil and certified organic, this delicious and earth friendly bath treat can be used by mommy too after a long hard day. What could be better?
They make lots of wonderful, organic products for baby, including diaper cream.

Grandma Was Right
Something that's been used by moms for over a hundred years must work. SMITH'S ROSEBUD SALVE (since 1892) is the best healing balm ever. It cures chapped lips, dry cracked hands, blemishes and baby bum rash practically overnight. All that and it comes in the most fabulous tin package, that any excuse to take it out of your purse is welcome. A noted fave of celeb mommy GWYNETH PALTROW (yes, I am slightly obsessed in a non stalker way with her), this balm is always in one of her designer bags. I was a little skeptical to see if this stuff really works on nappy rash, so I tried out the last bits of a tin on my little guinea pig , and yes I can report that the sore bottom was all fixed up the next day (Good reason to buy two tins as you wouldn't want to mix the bum and the lip one up!). Beauty Tip: Layer ROSEBUD SALVE over your favorite lipstick, or a little on your cheeks for an extra healthy glow.

Delicious Organic Beauty Solutions
When is the last time you got out to have a proper facial? Being a mommy means time is precious and finding time for yourself can be a challenge. The best solution I can come up with is having everything you need for a yummy facial at your fingertips so you can lock yourself away in the bathroom while daddy takes care of the little ones. JUICE BEAUTY, an organic beauty line of cleansers, exfoliants and peels is a fave of celeb mommies such as JENNY GARTH (of 90210 fame), MADONNA and CINDY CRAWFORD. JUICE has been featured in Vogue, Elle and Hello magazine and is a hot seller at Sephora. They use yummy ingredients like raw cane sugar, honey and aloe to help rejuvenate your tired mommy skin. I love that it's organic and free of chemicals and funky ingredients that I can't pronounce. Love their tinted lip balms and Green Apple Peel. When the baby is crying, the house is a mess and you have been wearing the same sweats for what seems like forever, these sweet treats for your face are like heaven.
