Beauty and the Belly

At least once a year the inevitable baby shower invitation arrives in the mailbox and the question comes: What on earth does one get the mami-to-be? Well, here’s a beautiful thought. Step away from the registry and think outside the typical box of onesies; A Pea in the Pod maternity retail stores now carry an array of gorgeous-for-the-belly beauty products from brands like Glowology and Mama Mio. Noodle & Boo Glowology Elasticity Oil ($42)—a mix of sunflower, jojoba and grape seed oil, honey and vitamin E—is excellent for moisturizing burgeoning bellies, helping to prevent deep stretch marks.
