1. MAMA MIO mini kit, $37

Purists like moi (love the pun!) love Mama Mio’s luxe, omega filled skin care.

5. The Body Deli: Body Kit Set #1, $72

I despise beauty products that smell like a revolting marriage of bug repellant and GLADE. So, the fresh smelling THE BODY DELI, beauty products inspired by “living foods”, was right up my alley. The products incorporate raw, fresh, natural and organic ingredients, like organic yogurt, amino acids, fresh fruit and vegetables, and all-natural plant oils. All of the products are handmade in small batches and are so pure that pregnant women can enjoy them too.
