Gwyneth Paltrow and Victoria Beckham bathe in Epsom salts for flat stomach £1.25 tub has a host of beauty benefits By Charlotte Kemp for the Daily Mail Published: 22:57 BST, 17 July 2013 | Updated: 20:12 BST, 21 July 2013 e-mail 195 View comments For years they’ve been a trusted cure for aches and pains. But thanks to Gwyneth Paltrow, Victoria Beckham and Elle Macpherson, Epsom salts are fast becoming a beauty staple. Costing a fraction of the price of designer potions - you can pick up a tub for £1.25 at your local chemist - they’re being hailed as a miracle fix for everything from greasy hair to a bloated stomach and lacklustre skin .

Built in the late 1980s, this Vermont house was burdened by drafts and energy-guzzling appliances. The only "green" was growing on the surrounding 180 acres of countryside. To reach the green expectations of its homeowners, the farmhouse underwent a three-phase renovation while keeping its original footprint. This created a subtle exterior transformation . New galvanized metal roofing in two colors and a cool color palette freshen the look. Airtight insulation, efficient geothermal heating and cooling, and the new metal roofing altered the structure. Additions of efficient metal-clad windows and insulated doors had equal influence on the home's style.

Thanks to Homewerks for sponsoring this post! My little guest bath has come a long way from its days as a ballerina-bordered, pepto-bismol-colored “statement.” After we moved in and fixed it up, it had its hey day as a rarely used guest bathroom, complete with carefully placed soaps and new, fresh white hand towels … you know, the kinds of things that vanish the moment you pop out a kid. Like, the instant the child emerges from you, they are gone. It’s wild. Nowadays, it’s home to bath toys and Toy Story-branded toothpaste, but we still like to freshen it up when we have company coming, and this week we made the snazziest of updates. (Wait til you see!)

First Time Mom’s Guide: Summer Infant – Newborn-to-Toddler Bath Center & Shower Review Having a good baby bath should be somewhere on your list and depending on your lifestyle or home you may not need a big baby bath for a while.  Of course if you have limited space or not a lot of counter space having a bath that can transition with the life of your baby well into being a toddler should be something to consider.  I browsed tons of baby baths going over some of the pros and cons of each.  In the end, the Summer Infant Newborn to Toddler Bath Center & Shower was the one I choose for my registry.
