This All Shades blogger has two pals who are expecting little ones this summer. For both of them, I got a natural rubber pacifier from Natursutter and the much-heralded oh baby! belly butter that we carry from Mambino Organics.
I hear from my pregnant friends that this stuff is amazing. Not only does it have all the best ingredients for soothing and restoring elasticity to stretched, dry bellies (shea, mango, and cocoa butter to name a few), it smells delectable from its citrus infusions of sweet orange and mandarin. It’ll help soften and prevent stretch marks and help a belly rebound after giving birth.
And like all Mambino’s skin care offerings, it’s culled from the power of nature. Created by an admired aesthetician here in L.A. who was looking for safe, natural skin care products that work wonders, Mambino Organics carries ecological alternatives to synthetics, stuff you can rub on your skin and feel good about. And while they’re specifically safe for women who are expecting, they’re nourishing and skin-supporting for anyone (my husband uses a tiny belly butter sample as lip balm).
And consider toting something luscious from Mambino for a mama or bambino to a baby shower near you this summer.

Crafted right her in Southern California by a woman following in her grandmother’s footsteps, Dana Sue’s company, Herban is one answer to an urban green liver’s body pampering routine. Herban’s bath and body products promise to please the senses and nourish the skin with aromatherapeutic herbs and bio-plant components.
In the store, for BODY, we’re carrying luscious soy bath milks (ylang ylang and spearmint/rosemary), salted butter scrub (ylang ylang) with sea salt and shea buter, and all over moisturizer for hands, elbows, feet, knees, or even the ends of your hair!
For FACE, we’ve got organic brown sugar and coconut butter sugar mud exfoliant. And for men, a unique treat, a daily clay bar cleanser set (pictured) complete with porcelain tray and shaving brush to be used as part of a gentleman’s gentle shaving routine (and perhaps a fitting Father’s Day gift).
Here’s to buttering up your body with natural pampering products any eco-urbanite will appreciate.
