NakedPaint Belly Butter

I recently got the chance to try out NakedPaint Belly Butter. This is a very rich moisturizing cream that is great for pregnant tummies. A little really does go a long way. I found the butter to be very moisturizing without being greasy. The best part for me was the delightful smell that comes from the addition of jasmine and heather oils. The fragrance was light and not at all overpowering. NakedPaint Belly Butter is geared toward expectant moms, but makes a great multi-purpose moisturizer for anyone.

Celebrities love NakedPaint too. Jennifer Garner and Mira Sorvino have used NakedPaint Belly Butter during their recent pregnancies.

This bag is the ultimate in chic rocker style. Loads of pockets and accessories make it practical, but this diaper bag will never be called ordinary.
