“Stop hating your naked form and start appreciating it,” says Women’s Health editor Michele Promaulayko.

“When you feel good about your body, you come across as more attractive. At the end of the day, sexy is a state of mind.”

So goes the advice in her new book, Look Better Naked (Rodale, $17), a guide to easy healthful eating and exercise that should be on every mom’s bookshelf.

Promaulayko carefully outlines a six-week plan that she says is totally doable, even for busy new mamas on the go.

“The best part about the Look Better Naked plan is that it doesn’t require a big investment of time,” she tells PEOPLE Moms & Babies.

Angie Harmon on Raising ‘Strong Southern Women’

Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic

With her return to the small screen in TNT’s new series Rizzoli & Isles, Angie Harmon has much to celebrate.

The former Law & Order star, 37, says that there’s still at least one reason not to, however, for her commitment to the show means her family will stay in California longer than she would like.

“We just had another baby, and I’ve got three little girls now,” Harmon — married since 2001 to former football player Jason Sehorn — tells the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

“So my husband and I were going to move out of Los Angeles and go somewhere in the South, where I can raise some strong Southern women with morals, ethics and values.”

Adding that she can “save retirement for another day,” Harmon insists that a change of address is a matter of when, not if.

“Once we finish shooting this first season, sometime in August, we’re definitely going to move, for the kids,” she says.

Lilith Fair Ladies Mix Music and Motherhood on Tour


Peter Yang

She’s collaborated with the best of them, but Sheryl Crow may have finally met her match in 3-year-old son Wyatt Steven.

“He never comes out on stage. He’s a real people person, but stages and stuff? I couldn’t believe it,” Crow, who hit the road as part of this summer’s Lilith Fair lineup, tells PEOPLE Moms & Babies of his surprise guest appearance earlier this month.

“He came out in his PJs. And then when he turned around and saw the audience, he’s like, ‘Heeey!’ I could see it. The creation of the monster. He’s going to be a performer.”

The toddler isn’t the only one shaking things up on the road; In addition to his younger brother Levi James, 11 weeks, Sarah McLachlan‘s daughters India Ann Sushil, 8, and Taja Summer, 3, and Erykah Badu‘s children Seven Sirius, 12, Puma Sabti, 6, and Mars Merkaba, 17 months, have joined in on the fun as well.

After winning five Olympic medals (one gold, three silver and one bronze), Nastia Liukin has cemented her super girl status in the sports world.

Now, she’s moving on to new territory — fashion.

The world champion gymnast, 20, has partnered up with Warner Bros. to create a sporty, yet flirty tween line — Supergirl by Nastia — exclusively for JCPenney.

“I’ve always had an interest in fashion,” reveals Liukin, who was the former face of BCBG. “Designing on the side was a fun way to take my mind off of training seven hours a day, seven days a week.”
