Blake Lively says she puts what on her nipples?!

With her starring role in an upcoming blockbuster and seriously hot hubby, Ryan Reynolds, new mum Blake Lively certainly lives a more glamorous life than most – but she isn’t as pretentious as you might think.
Joking with reporters about motherhood and breastfeeding, the actress quipped she’s been rubbing her nipples with truffles every day. Why? So that her daughter James develops “a very well-balanced palate” and won’t “eat only beige food”. Good one, Blake!
Speaking to Allure, the actress (who’s actually much more down to earth than her truffle gag would suggest) also claimed breastfeeding’s “a full-time job,” saying she’s “like, driving down the road, pumping”. Yep, Blake may enjoy plenty of perks in life, but she still faces the same struggles as most new mums!
Even though her mother was only kidding about the truffles, we reckon little James is still going to eat pretty well (even if she isn’t being treated to gourmet flavours just yet).
In addition to her love of home cooking, Blake (who caused quite a stir last November with her bizarre kitchen hair remedy) is also a big fan of a ‘real’ beauty look.
Saying she doesn’t have time to put on much make-up, she believes “it’s about trying to figure out the features you’re proud of and want to highlight, rather than just painting on top of it”.
The same applies to her hair, which she apparently does herself (although her stunning MET gala ‘do, above, was a clear exception). Here’s how:
“I normally put it in a ballerina bun. If I want it to be more full, I’ll first put in some mousse and blow-dry the roots up a little bit. When you take the bun out, you want to tease it with a big hairbrush to give it oomph.”
But Blake still knows her to jazz up her look, favouring a slick of bold lippie for special occasions. Her lipstick of choice? L’Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in ‘Pure Scarleto’, which she describes as “a watermelon-y color that’s subtle” but “pops”.
Sadly, this one's not available here till June, but for anyone wishing to follow Blake’s beauty lead, Rimmel London Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick in ‘#12’ and ModelCo Party Proof Matte Lipstick in ‘After Hours’ are pretty similar!
Do you think it’s hard to balance beauty and motherhood?

I'm not sure where I know her from. Truffles on nips sounds like a waste of $ and good food.

I was hoping this was going to be a tip for bf mums. It’s a bit disappointing as my boobs are so sore and I’ve tried everything

Funny and a bit silly.

If a mother has the time and inclination to do both, then yes most certainly. When there is a will, there is a way!

There's the chocolate truffles & the truffles pigs go sniffing out at the base of oak trees. Maybe on a hot date? I'm so glad I don't have kids! My breasts are purely decorative, not functional.

Errr, truffles? Just another airhead celebrity underlining how far removed from reality they are....I'll admit she has great hair and has a hot (but equally air-head!!) hubby!

ha ha ha, truffle oil would be hilarious - you could try a different food each day to get bub used to it. Glad she's able to joke with the media and not take it so seriously.

Im fairly certain the truffles was a joke. She seems really down to earth and just a good person, very pretty as well.

She has a good sense of humour! And yes, I look back to when my kids were young & I was juggling part time work, running the household & all the school runs, and wonder how I used to cram so much into a single day. Life's more relaxed now they're older!
