How cool was Project Runway this week? Celebrating the pregnant silhouette!  If you missed it, see if you can catch a re-run. Rebecca Romijn was the celebrity guest judge and was gloriously pregnant with twins. You can see all of the very cool pregnancy runway fashions here.  I am sure that the winner of that episode (for those of you who haven't watched it, I won't say) would have a lucrative career in pregnancy fashion if s/he wanted to, especially with a celebrity endorsement. 

At Belli, we have a lot of celebs that love our safe pregnancy skincare products.  We really want to do a shout out to those celebs who have helped us spread the word - so thank to you to them! You can see who from Hollywood is talking about us and what they're saying, by visiting our press page.

SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN IT!! By the way, for those of you who did see it, I did not think that Malvin should have been sent home, even if his chicken outfit was totally bizarre. :-)

In the summer, it’s especially important for both moms and babies to keep their skin soft and moisturized. The sun and water can be very dehydrating. For babies, it is extremely important to nourish their sensitive skin after sun exposure. Water evaporation and sun exposure create dry, chapped and irritated skin causing both a mom and her baby discomfort.

So, before you take the time to soak up the summer sun with your family, read up on Annette's tips for keeping summer skin healthy:

TIP 1: For mothers, use a moisturizer or lotion immediately after a shower, so the skin can lock the maximum amount of moisture

TIP 2: This is also the ideal time for moms to apply a body firming serum to restore and replenish slackened skin.

TIP 3: For babies, applying a moisturizer (using only phthalate free products) to your baby's skin directly after a warm bath.

Are you coming to the party?

When you're a mom, it's very hard not to put your child or children before you. But it's really, reallly important for us to take at least (at the very least) one night a week for that all important ME time. Just to keep our sanity. Now, whether or not that night involves a pint of Haagen Dazs Dulce de Leche ice cream is up to you, but a good pampering session definitely does a mommy good.

Here's a list of products that every new and expecting mom should pick up to give herself a total pampering experience:

• Body Exfoliator
• Body Wash
• Eye Cream
• Body Firming Cream or Serum
• Foot Relief Cream

You can pick up all of these in one fell swoop from Belli with their Head to Toe Essentials kit BUT you'll have to get the Haagen Dazs on your own.  Of course, all of these products include only the most safe ingredients during pregnancy, so you can relax and pamper yourself, while knowing that you're using the safest skincare line for new and expecting moms.
