GEM Bébé, a luxury home fragrance line, began out of a mother’s love for her daughter and the memories she wanted to save as keepsakes. After the arrival of her daughter and reluctance to return to the corporate workplace, Audrey McKinley created GEM Bébé in October 2007. The name of the company is drawn from Audrey’s daughter, Grace, whose initials are “G.E.M.” After becoming a mother, Audrey realized how every child is a gem in a parent’s life so she created the collection for parents to celebrate their little gems and help them “remember when.”
The Signature Collection offers candles, crèmes, soaps, sprays, and mineral crystals in 12 different scents symbolic of the 12 months of a baby’s first year of life. The unique fragrances in this collection are named and inspired by some of baby’s milestones such as First Steps (Lemongrass), Play Time (Cucumber Melon) and Let’s Celebrate (Almond Biscotti). Using only the finest ingredients, GEM Bébé’s collection is all-natural made with essential oils. Through the creation of scents that are reminiscent of life’s special moments, the fragrances from GEM Bébé make a precious addition to any home – whether relaxing in a bath, reading a good book, or just taking in the scent and all it has to offer.

WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration on Friday warned women not to use or purchase Mommy’s Bliss Nipple Cream, marketed by MOM Enterprises Inc. of San Rafael, Calif.
The cream, promoted to nursing mothers to help soothe dry or cracked nipples, contains ingredients that may cause respiratory distress, vomiting and diarrhea in infants, the agency said.
The potentially harmful ingredients in the cream are chlorphenesin and phenoxyethanol.
“FDA is particularly concerned that nursing infants are being unwittingly exposed by their mothers to this product with dangerous side effects,” said Janet Woodcock, director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “Additionally, these two ingredients may interact with one another to further compound and increase the risk of respiratory depression in nursing infants.”
The company has stopped selling the cream. The FDA said consumers should stop using the cream and consult a doctor if they experience problems or believe that their infant may have experienced problems due to the product.
Mothers whose children may have suffered adverse effects because of this product should contact the FDA’s MedWatch at 800-332-1088.

Dessert without the Calories
I know you are thinking how is that possible – but with the Bath Desserts collection it is!
Bath Desserts is a fun, hip and imaginative company that makes hemp seed oil infused bath and body products and age-defying beauty treatments for the entire body. Hemp seed oil, the key ingredient that makes Bath Desserts unique, contains the perfect ratio of poly-unsaturated essential fatty acids, known for their excellent moisturizing and healing properties.
Their bath collection includes Hemp Seed Oil Sorbet Sugar Scrubs, Fizz Balls, Body Butters, Body Soufflé Lotions, Body Melt Truffles, Lip Butters and Bath Sprinkles – and I will give you the scoop on several of them :)
The first product I used was the Hemp Seed Butter Infused Harvest Sorbet Sugar Scrub. I used it on my legs a few weeks ago and the scrub exfoliated them perfectly. My skin felt very smooth, looked healthy and smelled great.
After the Sugar Scrub, I was ready for the tub products the next night. I filled up my oversized garden tub and tossed in the Hemp Seed Oil Infused Plumeria Fizz Ball. It bubbled away as my daughter and I watched it disappear. As I stepped in and relaxed in the tub, it definitely felt like a pampering session for me. The oil from the ball moisturized my skin and had that great Plumeria fragrance. Another night, I tried the Hemp Seed Oil Infused Plumeria Bath Sprinkles. It also had that great Plumeria fragrance and my body felt like it was rejuvenated.
Each time I had my spa-like bath, I used the Hemp Seed Butter Infused Vanilla Body Butter. It was very rich and a little went a long way. My skin looked healthy, moisturized and refreshed!
My favorite from the collection were the Hemp Seed Butter Infused Mango Body Melt Truffles. They looked exactly like white chocolate truffles (see above), but were loaded with hemp seed butter and mango butter. After my shower, the truffle melted and left my skin deeply moisturized and rehydrated. Each time I used Bath Dessert my entire bathroom smelled amazing and so did I!
All Bath Desserts products are handmade in the United States, are eco-friendly, contain no animal-derived ingredients and are not tested on animals. They are available in spas, medi-spas and on the Bath Desserts website.

Gloves In A Bottle
Skin care is very important to women. I am always searching for products that are healthy for my skin & adds moisture to it which is why I was very delighted to hear about Gloves in a Bottle. It is a new shielding lotion that rapidly absorbs into (and bonds with) the outer layer of skin creating a protective layer while retaining the natural moisture from within. This makes it the perfect dry skin care product!
Gloves In A Bottle does not wash off, but comes off naturally with exfoliated skin cells. It was made to protect against the drying effects of repeated hand washings or high exposure to water and detergents.
My hands actually felt hydrated, refreshed and smoother when using Gloves In A Bottle over the last few weeks. The shielding lotion lasted for up to 4 hours. So after 4 hours, I would wash & dry my hands and reapply for continued protection. The end result was my skin looking and feeling great all the time!
The lotion itself is greaseless, non-sticky, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, completely safe and non-toxic. It is perfect for doctors, dentists, nurses and other people who need to wash their hands a lot and need their skin protected. Gloves In A Bottle is used and recommended by hundreds of dermatologists as an effective dry skin treatment.

Skin MD Natural™ provides the ultimate solution for all skin types – especially dry skin. It is actually a Shielding Lotion that helps to prevent damage to the skin by bonding with and protecting the skin. It not only adds moisture, but also helps to stop the loss of your natural moisture.Skin MD Natural™ utilizes the latest developments in skin care technology as well as the most effective natural ingredients to restore your outer layer of skin’s natural ability to protect against dangerous toxins and irritants as well as to reduce the loss of natural oils and moisture. A Shielding Lotion replaces the barrier that’s stripped away with the daily use of most soaps and cleansers. A fundamental difference between Shielding Lotions and traditional lotions is that a Shielding Lotion enhances the skin’s own natural protective abilities by turning the outer layer of skin into what could be described as a hydrating invisible shield.
As women, we have all been exposed to some type of chemical that has irritated and penetrated our delicate skin – whether it was shampoos, antibacterial soaps, cosmetics, fragrances, or colorants. I found it interesting to learn how important it is to use a shielding lotion because our skin wasn’t designed to deal with soap and the thousands of other everyday chemicals.
When I tried Skin MD Natural™, I had an amazing experience. The first thing I noticed was that a little went a long way (which was great because it extends the life of the product). The lotion is light, fragrance free and quickly absorbs. It made my face and body feel refreshed and hydrated. After about 3-4 days of using it, my skin was softer and felt like I really did have a “protective barrier” on – especially on my hands. It was not sticky or greasy like some regular lotions tend to be. I was very pleased with the results of the product and will continue to keep it in my beauty regimen!
