Make-up free Jennifer Love Hewitt embraces her post-baby curves in jeans and striped shirt while grabbing groceries 

 

It's been almost a year since she gave birth to her second child and she's been in no rush to shed to those pregnancy pounds.

Jennifer Love Hewitt appeared to be comfortable with her new and fuller figure as she went grocery shopping at Whole Foods in Santa Monica, California on Thursday.

The 37-year-old actress wore clingy dark blue jeans with a white red-striped shirt that fit her loosely especially around the waist.

The mother-of-two was fresh-faced with no visible make-up, no lip gloss or eye liner.

She had on very white comfy trainers for her outing which made getting around town easier and faster.

Jennifer was seen climbing into her luxury white SUV with just a green pocketbook in her grasp.

Fortunately she brought along an assistant who presumably did the heavy lifting of the grocery bags for her.

Jennifer, who is wed to actor Brian Hallisay, also 37, gave birth to their son Atticus in June of last year.

The couple also have a little girl, Autumn James, two.

Jennifer marveled at the changes her body went through during her first and second pregnancies.

'Being pregnant is completely freeing,' she told American Baby magazine while pregnant with Atticus.

'When I was expecting Autumn, I ate everything I saw. I told myself, "Oh there's a doughnut - I should have that."

'Now with this second pregnancy, I know the baby really doesn’t "need it." So I eat healthy foods in general, but I also indulge in little things that I crave.'

'Your body changes so much, and there's a sensuality about that,' Jennifer added. 'I say accentuate the fact that your legs look thinner than they ever have, and your boobs look great: Work it!'
