In Knead

Anyone who’s expecting could use a hand. That’s what seven-months-pregnant massage therapist Michelle Kluck figures. That's why she’s come up with a Pregnancy Pampering Kit that's a breeder’s dream. Kluck is the founder of Basic Knead, a Los Angeles based company whose goal is to help people incorporate the benefits of massage therapy into their daily lives and includes Ashley Judd, Salma Hayek, and Gabriel Byrne among its clients.

The kit includes four soothing, stress-relieving products to help ease many of the common discomforts of pregnancy: a cool eye mask to relieve headaches and irritability, a scrub mitt to take care of itchiness and dryness due to an ever expanding belly, a moisture treatment with an aromatherapy blend of lavender-lemon blossom to help prevent stretch marks and relieve nausea, and cozy socks that show reflexology solutions for everything from low energy to back pain.

It's rumored that the kit also does windows. Amazing.
