“I’m head over heels in love,” says Christina Aguilera of her new son, Max Liron Bratman, born Jan. 12. The new mom, who has given breast-feeding credit for her post-baby bod, says her husband Jordan loves her new figure! Aguilera recently told Access Hollywood: “I think they say that when you’re breastfeeding, you know, your weight kind of slims down. It’s a little easier. It’s like a workout within itself. It’s very tiring actually and you find yourself snacking more often.”
Meet our new obsession.
It’s a little treat called Tummy Rub Oil, by Mama Mio.
And, it’s fabulous… Pregnant, or not!
Pickles & Ice Cream was lucky enough to have met with the National Sales Manager for MamaMio, (she’s a jewel by the way), and she gave us an awesome presentation on their products. We are so pumped about this stuff, that we want to share everything that we learned with all of you.
She made a good point…
We will spend $200 on a piece of clothing that we wear occasionally,
but we are hesitant to spend money on something we wear every day…
Our skin.
“Mama Mio Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Oil is a super nourishing blend of the richest and most healing oils available. It absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling soft and nourished but not at all greasy. It super-hydrates your taut tummy to add elasticity, sparing you itchy belly syndrome and helping you win the battle against stretch marks. We offer an oil alongside our Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Butter as your skin naturally produces oil and therefore it is easily recognised and used. Every ingredient in Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Oil has a distinct moisturising purpose and is laden with Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) - Omegas 3, 6 & 9. Combined with our non-nauseating Gravida fragrance it is a tremendous stretch mark fighter.
The decision between Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Oil and Stretch Mark Butter is entirely yours. Do you prefer an oil or a butter they are both equally powerful at fighting stretch marks. For mega-tummies (does it feel like twins?) try layering Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Oil first and Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Butter second. With this dynamic duo in place, stretch marks wouldn’t dare!” - ♥ mamamio.com

With Leo, it’s gotten incrementally easier. I’ve started being okay with the sleepless nights, because I know I won’t be nursing every two hours for the rest of my life.
And my husband and I are so much more relaxed as parents. Whereas whenever Luke cried, I was in complete angst and stomach turning, ‘Oh my God, what’s not right? What’s happening?’
I remember Luke getting a cold when he was a few weeks old, and I was a basket case. And then recently Leo got a cold — and he got a cold. With Luke, I was so worried about every little thing. With Leo, who I hear crying in the other room right now, I’m like, “Okay, let’s solve the problem…What is it?’
Fabulous Post-Pregnancy Bods!
Ok. We might not all have personal trainers to help us
sculpt that post-baby body back into shape,
but atleast we can look to these ladies for inspiration!
Read up on some of their tips and tricks…
Get ready to be amazed!
