Behind the Scenes: SP's March Shoot with Pia Guanio-Mago and Scarlet | SP

Join the next Smart Parenting Giveaway and get a chance to win exciting prizes!

Only 6 months after she gave birth, TV host and celebrity news anchor Pia Guanio-Mago looks as slender and stunning as she did as when she was single. She attributes this to discipline, sensible eating, breastfeeding, and the support of her equally health-conscious husband, Steeve.

On the day of the shoot, Pia and Steeve were very excited – it was, after all, the very first time that she would be on the cover of a magazine as a new mom. All eyes were on her charming little girl, Scarlet Jenine.
