What are the STARS using on their baby bumps? Mama Mio

In the wake of the recent Hollywood baby-boom, the red-carpet at the upcoming Oscars will undeniably be flooded with a plethora of baby bumps. Pregnant celebs such as Kate Hudson, Victoria Beckham, Natalie Portman, Selma Blair and the newly pregnant Jessica Alba are sure to get plenty of notice for their maternity style. And how will they perfect their looks? With none other than celebrity skincare expert Mama Mio, of course!

While expecting Honor in 2008, Jessica Alba embraced her pregnant physique and notably stellar style by highlighting her assets on the red carpet. We know she’ll do the same this time around by using her favorite Mama Mio product: Boob Tube Bust and Neck Firmer ($45; www.mamamio.com). This crinkle-fighting formula promotes firmer, fitter, glowing, dewy, youthful skin from the neck down, a must when preparing for a revealing neckline on the red carpet.CoQ10 helps defy gravity while Omega 3, 6 and 9 keep your neck and décolleté looking firm and plump. Milk Thistle, Evening Primrose Oil and Sweet Almond Oil maintain moisture for healthy, brilliant skin.

The amazingly beautiful Selma Blair showed off her maternity glow at the recent Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. You too can achieve a soft sheen like Selma’s by using her favorite Mama Mio product: O-Mega™ Body Oil ($35; www.mamamio.com) Free of carriers and emollients, this formula is 100% replenishing moisture. Truly superfood for the skin, Mama Mio’s magic mix of natural Argan, Safflower, Sweet Almond and Jojoba oils delivers much-neededOmegas 3, 6 and 9 to nourish and elasticize the skin for a noticeable and immediate difference. Thirsty skin drinks up the quenching blend instantly as it quickly sinks in, locks in moisture and throws away the key.

The always fashionable Victoria Beckham never lets her pregnancies get in the way of style! Pregnant with her fourth child, the Mama Mio Skincare fan was recently spotted in Heathrow wearing her signature stilettos. At this year’s Oscars, other pregnant celebs can also brave the red carpet in heels with the help ofMama Mio Lucky Legs ($19; www.mamamio.com). Developed to relieve legs and feet when exhausted, swollen, heavy, and in need of intense refreshment, this mini-spa treatment glides on to instantly cool and ease weary limbs—from knees to tippy toes. Lucky Legs is formulated with V-Tonic, a blend of safe, essential oils handpicked to relieve pain and lighten heavy legs with a tingly cool sensation. 80% of women tested reported immediate relief! Menthol and Spearmint cool and refresh as Aloe Vera and Chamomile calm and Yarrow helps skin tone.

Editors' Pick: Obsessed with the lobster from phil&teds! PLUS a giveaway!

Oh yes. phil&teds has done it again. Perfection is one word that describes the one chair we are absolutely obsessed with -- the lobster! With 3 Littles and one on the way space is a big thing we are loosing at our house. Luckily, we don't have to worry about making room for yet another high chair. The phil & teds lobster high chair attaches right to our kitchen island and the best part -- our Little loves seeing everything that is going on. In about less then a minute we can detach it and bring her over to our table. It is possibly the best, wait, scratch that - it is the best high chair around. Another reason I love it? I actually could "put it together" - so maybe I didn't assemble it (it came assembled) but it was one of the first products I could actually use myself and not call the darling hubs over for help. 

Unbelievably lightweight, with flat-packing portability and quick-smart clamping for easy of use with virtually any table. The lobster claws twist to grip the tables from 0.8 to 3.7 inches thick for a super secure, fuss-free attachment. Seriously, it is the easiest piece of baby gear to use! Weighing just under 4 lbs, the lobster is extremely travel-friendly, making it convenient to take to restaurants, on family vacations or to grandma's house. Just pack it and go.

As soon as your Little can hold up that sweet head they are ready to sit in the lobster and join the rest of the fam at the table. Or, attach it to your island and let them watch you cook. My Little adores her lobster and kicks her feet the whole time she sits in it.

Don't let the lightweight, aluminum frame deceive you - the phil&teds lobster is very strong and can hold children up to 37 lbs. And don't worry - no slipping out as the padded, adjustable 5-point harness keeps them from wiggling out. We also just love the easy to clean washable fabric and the removable, dishwasher safe food tray so they don't have to eat directly on their table -- they basically have their own.

Lucky for YOU we are giving one reader their very own phil&teds lobster which is completely sold out!
