Got You Covered ($185) - For the past five years, I’ve been using this foundation I got from Cinema Secrets in L.A. It’s called &lt;i&gt;RCMA&lt;/i&gt;. I’ve been using their foundation and concealer for a long time. It’s very light and clean.

Face Forward ($38) - There are a couple of things that I’m using right now. One thing is called Nia 24. It’s a set that comes with a cleanser, moisturizer and sunblock. I also use &lt;i&gt;Dr. Susan Taylor’s Absolute Radiance Intensive Exfoliating Serum&lt;/i&gt; along with her &lt;i&gt;Naturally Flawless Brightener&lt;/i&gt;. I go back and forth between products.

Winter Essentials ($13-$30) - Lately, because it’s been so cold, I’ve been mixing my regular moisturizers with Vaseline. Most of the time I use &lt;i&gt;Carol’s Daughter Ocean Shea Souffle&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;Ocean&lt;/i&gt; is my favorite. I was actually just introduced to a new line here in Atlanta called &lt;i&gt;Toure’ Botanica&lt;/i&gt;. Her stuff is really, really good.

Terri's Beauty Secrets - I eat prunes every day and my 21-month-old son loves them too. They’re sweet like candy. Prunes and almonds are great things to add to your diet.

Portion Control - I didn’t overeat while I was pregnant. I did eat what I wanted, but I stopped when it was enough. I am adamant about the fact that you shouldn’t deprive yourself of what you want, especially when you’re pregnant. So whenever I wanted a treat, I ate a treat. I just didn’t overdo it.

Fruitopia - I did eat very healthy while I was pregnant. I had a lot of fruit because it was what I was craving. I wanted cherries and berries and I was eating them like crazy!

Post-Baby Fab - After my baby was born, I still continued to hike, but I did more cardio. I was on the bike and I had a trainer for a while. I actually enjoy working out.

Tummy Trail - I continued to hike while I was pregnant. I hiked a specific trail every morning. It’s different for every woman, because some people can’t work out that strenuously, but I’ve always worked out, so it was ok for me. I hiked up until my 8th month at least.

Hands On Deck - I’m a massage fanatic, but it gets costly, so I can’t do it as much as I would like to. I like deep tissue massages. I need to get all in! It’s relaxing, but it’s a little painful because they get those knots. I also indulge in pedicures.
