Spaing from home is always an option whether you just went to a spa or you can't make it there! As I am always traveling to do segments whether it's on HSN or an appearance. I have a series of must haves that are on my list that always make me feel very comfortable and make my skin look great! I've been a long time user of Koh Gen Do and their Cleansing Spa Water (when also used with their organic cotton pads, not only take off my makeup but also allow my face to be cleansed. There are some areas in the country that I travel to where sometimes the water dries my face so this cleanser is perfect! Once clean, moisurize with L'Occitane's moisturizer which always leaves a silky smooth feeling, When it comes to doing a little extra action on your face, I suggest H2O's Plus Sea Results Overnight Peel - this is a must as I like being camera ready and knowing that my face is at its optimum - it's perfect for overnight results.

When it comes to keeping everything trim, I definitely love Bliss' Perfect Bikini which ensures that you are swimsuit season ready! L'Occitane has a phenom Organic Shea Butter that is perfect for your body. When you have your go to items, being ready for everything even in a beauty sense is a must.

It's all about maintaining a healthy glow from head to toe! We always think about the winter as a time where you really have to make sure that all that icky skin is exfoliated off your body; however, your skin is a 365 living organism and enjoys being taken care of just like you enjoy showing it off! Today I have a fab roundup that's a must including foot lotions/scrubs from Crabtree & Evelyn, an amazing Acai Sugar Scrub from Fresh, a rum soap bar from Malin+ Goetz and EOS's Summer Fruit Organic Lip Balm which keeps your lips smooth and fabulous!

Notes from Paris is a series of posts from Valerie Nahmias, Beauty Editor of Femina Magazine in Paris as well as running Beauty Kid (love it). Brought together by our mutual friend and fashion photographer, Franco Lacosta, her posts are featured on beauty as it relates to a discerning demographic, kiddies! Last time, Valerie talked about L'Occitane and how this scent was perfect for kids and their parents! Today she continues with her Beauty Kid focus and shares some fab cosmetics and I'm loving the Wonder Woman collection from MAC.

Two skin care products and a small red jar provides their talent in the service of our beauty. This is not only reserved for wonder women and great moms, but also for all those who want to irradiate in a quick gesture.

I speak about two exceptional formulas, one, from Avène, full of fresh thermal water, is formulated for sensitive skin. It manually exfoliates dead cells without assaulting the skin. A bit of product, drop of water, a mini hand massage and it is done, the skin is purified! The next product, Carrefour, is the Beauty Kid favorite within skin care! A very interresting innovative concept. Its high tolerance formula contains organic honey, hydrolat of organic camomile and calms the skin but especially, it is sterilized UHT, (Ultra High Temperature)... same as milk!!! This is how it includes no preservatives. As a result, all the family can use it. This is the most natural proposition of Summer 2011. Say "ciao" to paraben and natural replacement preservatives and welcome UHT!!!

What about the lip colored Balm form MAC Cosmetics? This is the ally of mat complexions! I also apply it to the top of my cheekbones, at the level of the bone, by tapping the skin with the fingertip. Contrary to what you may think, its texture is more glowy than glossy. Although it may seem thick, it illuminates the skin like a baby's face.

My final word - forget about mascara! Let's take control over our beauty and be real, simple or nothing at all!

Valerie is the Beauty Editor of Paris' Femina Magazine and it's blog Redaction Beaute and has spent her years in the fashion/beauty industry. She was an assistant at French Elle Magazine for Carine Roitfeld (who recently left French Vogue as Editor in Chief) and wrote the book, Pour Etre Belle.

Today is it! There are shows today to be sure but I plan on spending the day wrapping up loose ends and of course hanging out at the Robert Verdi Fashion Week Lounge as well. After this period of fashion fun (and right before another huge fashion trade show - Coterie), I love the fact that I spend as much time as possible detoxing. One of the items that I have been using daily is this amazing mat from Acushakti which works off the principals of walking on a bed of nails. Now this organic mat has a foam pillow and then there are spikes on top of it. It works with your pressure points and helps with your circulation. I have laid on it, walked on it, stood on it and more. When you visit the site, you can see all the ways that you can use this. This is perfect for daily use while also using it for the most stressful times in your life as well!

Wicked Fresh Mouthwash - Tom's of Maine

GO SMiLE Go All Out Two-Step Smile Program $120 - Sephora

REMBRANDT REMBRANDT STAIN REMOVAL TP - 3oz $6 - Target

3d Professional Effects Whitening Strips $54 - Ulta

There are so many things that you have to do to get out of the house in the morning or before you go to bed and although some are ok to slack on, others aren't! Dental care is super important whether you're on camera or aren't. I started as a Crest kid for as long as I could remember! It's one of those things that I had everything within the product line although I do believe you can mix it up! Throughout this year, I have tried a number of the whitening systems that are out there and I have to say that Crest 3D Whitening Professional Effects is my favorite. Mostly because there is no fuss, it's easy and I can put them on while I am finishing my beauty routine without worrying about swallowing the solution or painting things on. I am not a steady handed person so this is a huge plus for me!

When it comes to mouthwashes, I recently started using Tom's of Maine now this was attracting to me as I already use an organic mouthwash and I definitely wasn't disappointed with this at all! I like that when I rinse with it, I'm not left with that crazy tingling in my mouth that leaves me feeling stunned. Rembrandt toothpaste is another fave! I always love stain removers as I drink and eat quite a number of items at appointments that could cause discoloration so every little bit helps for sure! Finally, Go Smile - love them! In between my morning/evening brushes, I love this kit as I can continue to maintain my teeth's white looks by rubbing the sponge applicators on my teeth! I can spray a minty stream to freshen up and they have designer toothpaste for morning and night which I am more prone to using when traveling (don't ask me why)! Together, this pretty much sets up what I do for me dental care just in case anyone ever wondered what I think you should keep an eye out for! Do you have to use it all - no but it's always nice to know where to start!

Natural Nuggets - Little Badness

Jimmy Choo with Simply Fido

First of all, Happy Mother's Day to those who are or those who stand in for that responsibility! It's a tough job I'm sure. Yesterday, my sister and I celebrated the day with our mom and it's always fun to hang out! My sister is a puppy mom and I hope to be soon as well since the same breeder that brought Jimmy Choo into my sister's life will do the same for us (in fact the father will be the same). Jimmy Choo is a bundle of energy that if you feel left out and as if the world is seriously doing a number on you, all you need is for him to see you and your outlook changes! Because Paul and I are all about organics, it has really encouraged me to do the same for our puppy when we get him next month.

You you see Jimmy playing with his friend (or is it victim) which is this super cute monkey from Simply Fido which has an entire puppy line of all items that are oragnic (much like their line Miyim for children which we had that giveaway last weekend for those that want to bring this way of life into their homes. Next, I was introduced to Little Badness through my sister. They had a successful Bark for Like Cancer Walk last Sat, here in NYC, where they raised over $1,000 with the help of their 4-legged friends! What I love about this company is that they make little nugget treats in various flavours and they're organic, don't have preservatives or corn! What a great treat and I know that Jimmy Choo is quite a fan as he literally smiles when you touch the bag! If you're interested you should contact Little Badness as they are having a snazzy website launching soon but you can reach them here. Finally, a couple of months ago at the Architectural Design show at the Piers, I learned about LazyBonezz - they make fabulous pet beds, feeders and toys! The wood is gorgeous and the pads have 2 different covers which gives you variety. I fell in love with this bunk bed as my puppy and Jimmy Choo could sleep together in luxury! This is a must to check out as there are various options!

Hosung MiYim Organic Plush Monkey - Fred $26 - BabyUniverse

This time of year, I find that it's all about bridal but for the first time ever, I'm heading to a Baby Shower. I love the fact that the mom has a focus in being organic and I enjoyed being able to focus on a number of fab products that I didn't even know existed! List what items are an essential to a baby shower and you could win goodies from Small Plum (winner to be announced next week), makers of organic items that are perfect for baby as they are 100% Bamboo! When I went out shopping, I not only wanted items that the baby could wear but that the baby and mom could enjoy. Take a peep at the organic monkey from Miyim (Brooklyn based company), Belli Skincare which makes products for mom prior to her pregnancy and afterwords as well as for baby and of course the amazing products from Small Plum!

The more I run around the make up counters, the more I learn about makeup! One of the things that I have started to think about incorporating into my beauty regimen is not only product that makes my skin look great but also that it's good for my skin. Christopher Drummond Beauty is an organic beauty line that not only has minerals within it but as apart of their initiative, they also support various organizations as PETA, Susan G Komen and more. In addition to having a variety of products for men and women, I also love that Christopher Drummond Beauty is a resource by sharing with its readers where they have appeared, providing information on their products and more. In an age where people want to know a lot more about what they are purchasing, I find the site to be highly informative as well as finding great products that will keep your skin healthy and happy!

Vigneto Saetti Lambrusco 2008 $24.99 ~ Pasanella and Sons Vintners

It's seriously snowing outside so you know that I'm staying in all day! I just found one of my favorite wines which you can find at Pasanella and Sons Vintners - Vigneto Saetti Lambrusco! I love that this tasted like a red wine that had a mix of champagne in it. The fact that it was organic as well definitely made it an added benefit. This is a must for yourself or for gifting (I received it as a gift). Now with a tasty wine, you need a fab glass and I have become a fan of anything that is stemless. Finally, this is best enjoyed with tasty cheese or chocolate. Today, all of the nibbles featured are available online but if you're in NYC you can conveniently shop at Pasanella and Sons, Li-Lac Chocolates and Murray's Cheese! Take some time to check this out and this is perfect for future parties.

Many times, I hit the shower and use my favorite products but on the weekends or on days where I have more time, I love to try new things. One of those new things may be products that I have to take more time to use. Recently, I received two products from Tree Hut, the Shea Butter and the Body Scrub with Brazil Nut. For those that have come over and watched me wash something or just talk for a long time, they find that I constantly moisturize. I do it so much that recently, my friend @nikisnotes commented on how she felt dry just watching me use so much! Brazil Nut has a great scent and I am in LOVE with the Body Scrub. Not only does it make your skin super soft but it's not so gritty where you feel that you have a bit of sandpaper. The Shea Butter has a nice thickness that's not too oily.

Your skin is definitely your best asset and whether you spend a lot of time at spas or re-create your own at home, you'll want to focus on spending time keeping yourself looking fresh! Not only will you enjoy taking some personal time but you'll love that these products are organic.Take some time to check out the full product line of Tree Hut!
