Video: Kristen Bell's Natural Living Tips
Guest Editor Kristen Bell chats with some health-conscious yogis about how they stay fit
Babies may be predisposed to eat anything, but I still try my best to cook fruits, veggies and other healthy goodies in a way that's appealing to a toddler. The trick is making them look and taste like yummy junk food while retaining their nutrients and keeping sugar, salt and other processed add-ons to a minimum. read more

Pregnancy dressing is tricky business. By month six, you're about twice your normal size -- and growing -- so you can pretty much forget about wearing anything you already own. But nobody wants to shell out a small fortune on a bunch of clothes you may never wear again. While I love inexpensive cotton basics, a lot of the cheapie maternity options are made of synthetic materials that feel kind of gnarly -- not what you want to wrap around your body when you're creating life. read more

I love a good scrub for that crazy-soft squeaky-clean feeling. I love to make my own body scrub, but when it comes to my face, I rely on the store-bought stuff. I prefer naturally based, biodegradable scrubs that have a minimal impact on the environment. read more

I consider myself fortunate to have a career that requires me to dress up. My style is generally laid-back, so sometimes I need a nudge to change out of my favorite jeans.

It's great age and there's never a dull moment, but needless to say, one-year-olds have their quirks. Toddlers can be pretty picky eaters, but luckily mine seems to possess a very diverse palate -- or at the very least, a high tolerance for my cooking. She eats anything and everything. Garlic? Done. Olive tapenade? Sure. Put a plate in front of her, and she takes it down. read more

BEAUTY TIPS
You consume 32,911 glasses of water each day. Did your head just explode? I know, I know -- you can barely remember to drink eight a day. But 32,911 glasses is how much an average American uses on a daily basis eating, drinking, cooking, bathing and washing. Our society's collective water consumption has gotten so out of control that experts predict that two-thirds of the world will face water shortages by 2025. read more

MAKEUP
Ask me my favorite makeup look, and I'll ask you if lip balm counts as makeup. But that doesn't mean I'm a makeup hater. When I sang at the New York City Ballet Spring Gala in April (a total pinch-me moment), I wore a strong cat eye that I really loved. read more

BEAUTY TIPS
Thanks to the magic that is the Internet, I learned a lot when I was pregnant the first time around. Google has an answer for every question, doesn't it?
