The Recipe That Made My Little One Love Squash MIND.BODY.NATURAL BEAUTY.

Babies may be predisposed to eat anything, but I still try my best to cook fruits, veggies and other healthy goodies in a way that's appealing to a toddler.

How to Look Stylish When You're Dressing a Baby Bump MIND.BODY.NATURAL BEAUTY.

Pregnancy dressing is tricky business. By month six, you're about twice your normal size -- and growing -- so you can pretty much forget about wearing anything you already own. But nobody wants to shell out a small fortune on a bunch of clothes you may never wear again. While I love inexpensive cotton basics, a lot of the cheapie maternity options are made of synthetic materials that feel kind of gnarly -- not what you want to wrap around your body when you're creating life.   read more

All Your Skin Scrubs Should Have This Ingredient MIND.BODY.NATURAL BEAUTY.

I love a good scrub for that crazy-soft squeaky-clean feeling. I love to make my own body scrub, but when it comes to my face, I rely on the store-bought stuff. I prefer naturally based, biodegradable scrubs that have a minimal impact on the environment.   read more

How to Pick a Dress That Will Make You Feel Like a Million Bucks MIND.BODY.NATURAL BEAUTY.

I consider myself fortunate to have a career that requires me to dress up. My style is generally laid-back, so sometimes I need a nudge to change out of my favorite jeans.

As soon as I put it on, it felt right -- it was love at first try.   read more

Toddlers: Human Garbage Disposals or Picky Eaters MIND.BODY.NATURAL BEAUTY.

It's great age and there's never a dull moment, but needless to say, one-year-olds have their quirks. Toddlers can be pretty picky eaters, but luckily mine seems to possess a very diverse palate -- or at the very least, a high tolerance for my cooking. She eats anything and everything. Garlic? Done. Olive tapenade? Sure. Put a plate in front of her, and she takes it down.   read more

6 Ridiculously Simple Ways to Conserve Water MIND.BODY.NATURAL BEAUTY.

You consume 32,911 glasses of water each day. Did your head just explode? I know, I know -- you can barely remember to drink eight a day. But 32,911 glasses is how much an average American uses on a daily basis eating, drinking, cooking, bathing and washing. Our society's collective water consumption has gotten so out of control that experts predict that two-thirds of the world will face water shortages by 2025.   read more

Cat-Eye Liner for Small Eyes MIND.BODY.NATURAL BEAUTY.

Ask me my favorite makeup look, and I'll ask you if lip balm counts as makeup. But that doesn't mean I'm a makeup hater. When I sang at the New York City Ballet Spring Gala in April (a total pinch-me moment), I wore a strong cat eye that I really loved.   read more

Thanks to the magic that is the Internet, I learned a lot when I was pregnant the first time around. Google has an answer for every question, doesn't it? And one of my favorite topics to research was natural and sustainable baby products -- everything from cribs to stuffed animals. So if you want a nursery that's as natural as possible, start with these key elements:   read more
