For a truly beautiful way to dress up a ponytail, you have to check out these handmade, one-of-a-kind hair accessories from Your Couture Kid. For this review through Family Review Network, I received this beautiful ponytail holder:

Isn’t that gorgeous? It looked just stunning in my daughter’s hair, too. But unfortunately I was unable to take a photo of her actually standing still while wearing it! There are over two dozen different styles available for sale right now on Your Couture Kid, as well as pages with headbands, t-shirts, Car Seat covers, pacifier clips, and many more wonderful items. Whether you need a stocking stuffer for your own little one, or a great gift for someone you love, there is plenty to choose from on this unique shopping site!

Where were these Maternity fashions when I was pregnant?

Written by Elizabeth on August 17, 2008 – 8:23 pm -

Now don’t get alarmed, I’m not pregnant, but I know a lot of future Moms are reading this blog, so I’m passing on some information about a website that sells THE CUTEST Maternity Clothes! Seriously, when I was pregnant with Ryan in 1996, mostly during the summer, do you know what the maternity stores in the mall were selling? ROMPERS. Do you know what a romper is? It’s a ONE PIECE outfit that buttons down the front. Which meant that every time I had to pee, I had to unbutton it and slide the whole thing down around my ankles! It was NOT PRETTY, let me tell you. Oh, I could have also worn tops with giant floppy bows, those were popular then too. You know what they didn’t make in 1996? COUTURE maternity! I mean, honestly, how lucky are women today that when they are pregnant, they can wear Juicy Couture Maternity for heaven’s sakes??

And the dresses, OH the Maternity Dresses that are available now! This beauty is the Olian Crossfront Maternity/Nursing Dress, and it’s gorgeous! Maybe the problem was that in 1996, not enough celebrities were getting pregnant, so there was no reason to make high fashion maternity clothes. Nowadays, it’s like COOL to be pregnant, which is probably why even hot jeans designer Chip and Pepper makes maternity jeans. You lucky pregnant ladies! I mean, I’m not going to get pregnant just to wear cool maternity clothes, that’s for darn sure, but click any of the links in this post if you want to see just what’s available to wear if you are pregnant. And for tips on what to wear at each stage of pregnancy, check out this Chic Maternity Wear article from AOL.

Tone your legs with Fit Flops

Written by Elizabeth on May 24, 2008 – 10:57 pm -

Just in time for summer, a website with the strange but fitting name of sweatyBetty has introduced the Fit Flop, a sandal that uses “micro wobbleboard™ technology” to tone the muscles of your thighs and butt every time you take a step. What an interesting concept! sweatyBetty is comprised of a team of “Betties” who take fitness very, very seriously-their about page shows them biking, skating, sailing, surfing, running, and doing yoga. The team has been written up in magazines and has won awards for their Customer Service Initiative and a “nation’s brightest businesswomen” award.

Fit Flops come in Black, Chocolate, Navy, Silver, and Red, and women all over England are using them to slim their legs. They sure are cute, but I wonder how comfortable they are? Or if I would just “wobble” right over onto my face if I tried to walk in them! This is the Fit Flop in Chocolate:

While I was on the site looking at Fitflops, I took a minute to read the link called “Betty’s Planet”. As a company, sweatyBetty is committed to doing their part to make the world a healthier place. They recycle paper into bedding for a bunny (awww!), they give employees cash towards the purchase of a bicycle so they don’t have to drive to work, they use wood hangers and bags made of recyclable paper, they don’t use photocopiers because of the paper waste, and they have timers on all the lighting. Way to go, sweatyBetties!! If you are interested in toning your legs while wearing a cute sandal, check out Fit Flops from sweatyBetty.com, a company that cares about you and the planet!
