I recently had the opportunity to try Mama Mio O-mega Body Oil. Now you know I’ve always been a HUGE fan of Mama Mio, so it really is no surprise that their latest product has me shouting it’s praises from the rooftops!

A gorgeously fragrant blend of sink-in-quick oils, OMega™ Body Oil is a magic mix of Argan, Safflower, Sweet Almond and Jojoba oils to smooth your body all over.

What women love about OMega Body Oil is the way it is so quick to apply, keeping your skin nourished, firm, elastic and glowing. 100% pure natural moisture for 100% fit skin. An un-oily oil – amazing! This is a totally addictive product that will become a year-round essential in your bathroom cabinet.

It’s hard to find a good body oil that sinks into skin, smells good, and doesn’t leave you feeling greasy. Mama Mio got this one right on all points. I couldn’t ask for any improvements on this product at all. I absolutely love it.

I prefer this body oil over lotion, especially right after a nice, hot shower. I think it works best when you apply it to shower damp skin as it really seems to lock in the moisture and it spreads more easily.

Most Mama Mio products are made specifically for pregnancy and postpartum recovery. This particular product isn’t made for pregnancy, but I’ve gotten the okay from them to keep using it while I’m pregnant. Yay!

You can purchase Mama Mio O-mega Body Oil on Amazon.com or Drugstore.com for $35.00 and it’s not a small container. It’s a hefty 6.8 fl oz that will take you a while to get through, even with daily use.

Introducing Bootights!

Tights with the comfort and cushioning of attached mid-calf socks
that are designed exclusively to wear with boots!

THE PROBLEM:
Tights are often awkward and uncomfortable when worn with boots causing snagging, slipping, blistering, and cold feet, forcing women to wear socks over their tights. Most of my boots are also slightly big for me so wearing them with tights alone is very uncomfortable. Up until now, I’ve always worn a pair of socks over my tights when wearing them with boots.

THE ANSWER:
Bootights – The first product to combine a tight and sock all in one.

---

Okay so seriously, why didn’t someone think of this before now?

With a unique interlocking weaving system that offers seamless bonding, these premium quality tights are fabricated with 85% Nylon and 15% Lycra. COOLMAX moisture/thermal yarn sock provides moisture-wicking and odor reduction. Plus, the woven technology offers support for the foot and ankle with a cushioned foot bed, making your favorite boots even more comfortable.

The contoured fit of the sock accommodates any boot style. I’ve worn them with my black Born Tatiana Full-Grain Leather boots, my gorgeous Born Nenna Boots and my new favorite: Born Peri cuffed boots. (Yeah, I’ll admit it. I’m a huge Born fan!)

I was especially pleased with the non-binding waist band with tummy control “every course” weave. I hate how most tights dig into your middle and push all the belly blub below making you look pregnant, even if you aren’t!

Bootights have cleverly thought ahead and designed these with different sock heights so you can wear them with more than your favorite tall boots. The ankle length option is perfect for booties and ankle boots while the midcalf option is great for mid-height boots like Ugg Boots and all your tall boots.

I received a pair in charcoal which is the most versatile for my personal winter wardrobe. I’d love to get a pair in chocolate to use with my Fall wardrobe as well.

They are also available in a mid-calf version with their signature stitched floral pattern.

Bootights are now available for purchase at Dillards for only $21! They are selling out fast though, so be sure to grab a pair as soon as you can.

Get them on Dillards.com

I think that Bootights are an amazing invention and definitely a winter-must-have for all boot-wearing fashionistas. Well worth the money, comfortable, high-quality, and the solution for a common problem during the winter months. Definitely a fashionable housewife best buy!

Yesterday I received iS Clinical’s newest product, Youth Eye Complex, to test and review.

It comes in a classy looking silver pump container much like the Youth Complex that I use daily.

I tried it this morning, for the first time, after washing my face. It smoothed into my skin like velvet and immediately left the delicate skin around my eyes feeling cool and refreshed. I didn’t notice and immediate improvement on dark circles, but that is to be expected. Don’t be fooled by product that claim immediate improvement of dark circles unless it’s a concealer. Youth Eye Complex works beneath the skin by inhibiting melanin synthesis and strengthening the delicate eye around the eyes. This takes time and a product like this should be used daily to achieve long term results.

After one use, my first impression is great. I like the immediate results, the consistency, the extremely light and unnoticeable fragrance, and the ease of use with the nifty container. I hate jars of anything… I think everything should be made with a pump. It’s just to much easier to apply, especially if you have long nails. Then digging something out of a jar turns into a project.

Overall, I am anxious to use this one on a regular basis along with the rest of my iS Clinical skin care regime.

Crumbs Bake Shop emailed me a few weeks ago and asked if I would be willing to taste test and post about their cupcakes. I don’t usually blog about food and I don’t claim to be a food connesuir, but I love getting my hands on a cupcake once in a while!

I didn’t have cupcakes very often while growing up. I could probably count the number of cupcakes I had during my childhood on one hand. That is until I answered the door to accept a box full of 6 of the most delicious looking cupcakes I have ever seen in my life.

Being that I don’t have a lot of experience with cupcakes, I had to get my husband involved in my mission to taste these delicious confections. We cut them into quarters (their cupcakes are HUGE!) and tasted each one. We definitely decided these are the best cupcakes we’ve ever had. Hands down without a doubt the most delicious and fabulous cupcakes EVER. If you like cupcakes, you can’t continue living until you try a cupcake from Crumbs Bake Shop.

You can order the cupcakes online, but if you’re ever in New York City and Los Angeles, be sure to drop by Crumbs in person. They have so many flavors and the cupcakes are so big, you could easily eat one instead of lunch… Seriously. Each cupcakes weighs around 6 ounces and is about 4 inches tall, depending on the toppings. HUGE!

I’m absolutely in love with my new J-41 “Temptation” booties compliments of J-41.

This is my first experience with the brand and I have to say that I am really, really impressed.

First off, the shoes are really well made, comfortable and light-weight. I find them to be very easy to stand in, stable and had no problems after wearing them for several hours the very first time. They have a 3^1/2” heel but it does NOT feel that tall when you are wearing them. Perhaps it’s the platform in the front that makes them so comfortable and easy to wear.

They are also very, very fashionable! Cute fold-down cuffs with cute cutouts and the lovely ruching in the front. I happen to adore the warm chestnut color, but they also come in a dark chocolaty brown and black.

Leggings and super hot this season, especially ankle length legging with side zippers. These ankle booties look excellent with leggings as well as with tights.

You can get them on Zappos.com in brown, black or chestnut for $149.00.

Be sure to check out Overstock.com for the J-41 ‘Temptation’ Ankle Boots because they have a few limited sizes and colors available for only $54.99

Not just for active gals, Lucky Legs has done wonders for reviving my stiff legs after a long day of sitting at the computer.

This is the jackpot of rescue remedies to help relieve your hard-working legs and feet when they are just exhausted, swollen, heavy and in need of intense refreshment. A mini-spa treatment that glides on to instantly cool and ease weary limbs from knees to tippy toes.

Clinically tested ingredients leave you with feather-light legs, reducing discomfort and helping circulation. You will also notice a super-subtle sparkly-shimmer on your shins; this is the ultimate knees-up for your knees down!

I was so happy to get the opportunity to review Lucky Legs and couldn’t wait to receive my complimentary tube. It sat on my desk for about a week before I remembered it was there, and I finally noticed it and decided to give it a try last night.

The subtle sparkle is fabulous… I wanted to slather this all over my whole body after I saw how pretty my legs looked all shimmery!! It felt lovely on my legs for a few moments… enough to give me the sense of calming relief. And the scent is what relaxed me the most I think… although it did remind me of toothpaste. Overall I did notice a sense of relief in my legs that were, quite frankly, sore and tired from not getting enough activity that day. Sitting at a desk all day isn’t as relaxing as it sounds…

I think this would make a great stocking stuffer this Christmas or a great addition to a gift basket. It’s also nice to have on hand for when you feel like relaxing and treating yourself to a little “me time”.

A wise lady once told me that you should always keep a good funeral dress tucked away in your closet- something unadorned, classic, and elegant.  I recently had occasion to remember this when my husband and I received one of those horrible, hateful early morning phone calls.  Fortunately, the size and scope of my black dress collection would satisfy even Madame Chanel, so I was covered on that front.  But in between scheduling our flights and dashing to the dry cleaner with my husband’s black suit, I realized that my shoe options left something to be desired.  Every dark pump I owned smacked of sassiness, and peep-toes and stilettos just didn’t seem appropriate for this somber occasion.

Given my tight schedule, it made sense to spend a few minutes browsing Endless.com.  If I could find something cute and reasonable, I could take advantage of the free overnight shipping included with most purchases.  If not, I would make do with something I already owned.  Almost immediately, I spotted:

Bandolino Balant Pumps in Black Patent

The conservative round toe and manageable heel height (2.5 inches) gave off the subdued impression I was seeking.  Plus, the cool brogue stitching and loafer-style detailing on the vamp were pointedly on trend- without being the least bit flashy.  And since I can’t ever seem to get enough patent leather, I was sold.  

Thirty hours later they were in my hot, little hands, and they did not disappoint!  I particularly love how the femininity of the shiny patent and delicate bow contrasts with all the menswear-inspired details.  

My wear-time has been limited so far, but I’m also satisfied with their comfort factor.  I’ve spent a few hours in them with no complaints- including some serious standing time.  Although the look is ideal for professional environments, they’re not comfy enough for a full day on your feet, but they’d be perfect for an office that involves a significant amount of desk time.  Be aware that (like many Bandolinos) they run narrow.  

I was in such a hurry when I bought them that I didn’t even run a price comparison (a rare, rare omission in my house).  I’ve since checked it against other sites and found that at $51.90 Endless does, in fact, have the best price!  So if a serious assessment of your shoe wardrobe reveals few choices for job interviews, formal religious observances, and other times when understated is best, the Bandolino Balants are a great option for keeping you sensible and chic.

Narine is from a long line of Armenian women who have been harnessing the powers of nature to create everlasting beauty.

For the first time, she reveals her secrets in her NEW book, Return to Beauty: Old-World Recipes for Great Radiant Skin, so that you can have star-worthy skin.

Return to Beauty offers regimens made from fresh ingredients that can be found right in your own kitchen. With recipes for winter, spring, summer, and fall, you can look beautiful throughout the year. Narine Nikogosian’s natural and inexpensive products can be whipped up in less than ten minutes. Have a jar of honey in your pantry? Mix it with a few crushed walnuts to create a sensual, aromatic scrub for oily skin. Use dabs of cottage cheese to lighten under eye circles, or almond oil to rehydrate cracked lips. Narine also provides recipes based on astrological signs, such as for Scorpio, a Gracious Grapefruit Mask made of grapefruit, egg yolk, and soothing honey to rejuvenate your skin even after a late night.

---

This is a brilliant book to have in this economy. If you can’t afford fancy scrubs, luxurious face masks, and expensive moisturizers, you can easy make your own with the recipes found in this book.

I can’t wait to try some of the recipes in this book! Shiny Hair Rinse, Calm Down Apricot Cleanser, Tango Mango Moisturizer, Happy Hands Cream and more! Plus recipes specifically for the Fall and Winter like the Blushing Apple Carrot Mask. So many yummy recipes, I guarantee you’ll want to run into your kitchen and whip one up.

The Sparkling Spa Honey Scrub on page 12 is made with 3 simple ingredients that would cost you less than $3 to make and I’m better you already have at least 2 of the ingredients in your pantry already. The other one I’m dying to try is the Java Juice Body Scrub on page 153. It calls for 4 simple ingredients and helps with circulation and blood flow.

I also thought it would be a great idea for Christmas gifts! Who wouldn’t love getting a jar of homemade sugar scrub or an all natural moisturizer? It would only cost you a few dollars to make and your hard work and thoughtfulness would definitely be appreciated. Even the book itself makes a great gift idea. I can think of a few people on my Christmas list that would love this book.

Would you want to try any of these old world recipes for great skin?

While browsing around on SmartBargains.com I discovered a brand called XCVI.

My first impression was that XCVI was a laid-back brand offering relaxed and chic fashion made primarily from cotton. The brand falls in the mid price range for me; not cheap, but not expensive either. Most items cost under $100.

I was super excited when shortly after that, Rue La La had a XCVI boutique with prices around 65% off! So I jumped at the opportunity and bought the Happy House top in eggplant, Plaid Brushed Twill Reporter Blouse in green, Exquisite Jacket in eggplant and Totem Pole Top in a grayish purple color.

(Photo Credit: SmartBargains.com)

The Happy House top ended up being my favorite. It’s cotton voile with a jersey like material on the back, so it feels like your favorite soft tee shirt, yet it looks like a smart work-appropriate blouse. I was in love!

I went back online to see if I could find more, maybe in another color, but it appeared they were all sold out. Isn’t that always the way? Whether it’s clothing, shoes, or your favorite lipstick – as soon as you find something you like, they stop making it! Well i wasn’t about to give up. This was like the ultimate eureka in fashion discoveries for me! I loved this top so much and I just had to have more.

So I went on XCVI.com and emailed the company directly asking where I could find more Happy House tops and did they have any left, anywhere in the whole world. It was a last ditch effort in my quest for the perfect shirt and I didn’t expect a reply. To my surprise, they emailed me back and said they yes, they had 2 left in their warehouse; 1 in coal and 1 in Creme Brulle, both in a size small… Words could not express my excitement!

The Marketing Communications Director for XCVI was kind enough to give me both tops free of charge. Out of my gratitude for their unbelievable kindness, I just had to dedicate a post to their brand and my favorite shirt in the whole world: The Happy House top.

Not only were they were nice enough to gift both tops to me, but I really am a HUGE fan of their brand. XCVI has created wearable, movable, breathable clothing for women who believe in style, but also believe in comfort. XCVI delivers chic separates that are an absolute dream to wear. Cotton has never looked or felt so good!

XCVI is fashion you can live in.

Ever been annoyed by the straps on your handbag slipping right off your shoulder?

How many times have you been carrying too much to handle only to have your bag or your purse strap slip off your shoulder and down to the crook of your elbow? Or those days when you are wearing a bulky sweater or a coat and the strap on your handbag just don’t stay put and you have to keep slinging your purse back up on your shoulder over and over again.

I have a few handbags that just stay put on my shoulder and I’ve been very tempted to get out the double sided tape and that non-slip mat stuff (I call it rubber grippy stuff) and modify my purse straps myself.

When Christine, a mom to four kids, and the founder of StrapDiva emailed me about her nifty invention, my first thought was why didn’t I hear about something like this before now! It’s perfect!

StrapDiva is a no-slip purse strap cover that snaps on to a single purse strap or two handles together. It is made of super soft and luxurious leather with a suede lining. On the outside, there is a special material to prevent slippage and help keep your straps where they belong.

Americans’ number one environmental concern is the pollution of drinking water, with 59 percent saying they worry “a great deal” about the issue, according to a 2009
Gallup Environment survey. Given the essential nature of water to sustaining life, it is not surprising that the safety of drinking water is top of mind for Americans. From potential contaminants and disturbances in the water system, to untested well water, to less stringent requirements for bottled water vs. tap water, there are many potential worries.

I live in a city that puts quite a bit of chlorine into the town water. My husband drinks it, but I refuse to even cook with it because I know the risks of drinking chlorinated water. I’ve been buying bottled water since moving here, but after that got quite costly, I began using a Brita filter. I was never crazy with the resulting flavor though…

So I was ultra excited when Restore “Taste The Clean” Launch Team asked me if I would be willing to test and review their new Restore Clean Water System.

Restore Clean Water System is a brand new, state-of-the art and innovative in-home water purification system that combines filtration and UV Clean Technology.

Just because its filtered, doesn’t means it’s purified! Restore Clean Water System uses Ultraviolet (UV) Clean Technology to go beyond filtering by removing bacteria, viruses and more.

Restore is California certified for microbiological water purification, a first for a water pitcher utilizing UV technology and is Gold Seal Certified to National Sanitation Foundation standards by the Water Quality Association. UV Technology has been used for over 60 years for its germicidal properties in hospitals and laboratories. For the first time, an application of this unique germ-killing technology is available for home use in an affordable, easy to use water pitcher.

I thought it would be complicated to use when I opened the box, but it was actually pretty simple to set up. You flip the switch on the handle to “Fill”, then proceed to fill the basin with tap water. Let the water run through the carbon filter (much like the Brita) and then fill it up again. Once that goes through (takes like 3 mins), flip the switch on the handle to “Purify” and plug the wall unit into the pitcher and press the “Purify” button.

See it in action…

The system is incredibly easy to use and clean. Best of all, the flavor of the water after it has been purified is wonderful. I don’t usually like drinking water because it’s so… bland. Distilled water has an unmistakable icky flavor and spring water can taste funny sometimes too.

This water tastes incredibly clean and crisp. I actually find myself wanting to pour myself a glass of water now. That in itself is a little miracle.

If your tap water is less than perfect, I recommend you get a water filtration and purification system like Restore Clean Water System.

The system retails for $99 and new replacements filters for the system are only $7.99. *Note: Restore is not for sale in Iowa.

About a month ago, I got an email from a rep at Whooga boots that wanted to know if I’d be willing to try out a pair of their boots. While the warm winter boots are quite controversial in the fashion world, you really can’t deny that they are practical for winter and a must-have for anyone living in the North East. Upon learning that Whooga boots were made in Australia, I agreed to try out a pair.

I chose the Classic Tall Ugg Boots in chestnut. And even shipping from Australia, they came surprisingly quick!

Being a sucker for cute packaging, I was delighted with the adorable box they came in…

(Click To Enlarge)

I untied the neatly tied bow and opened the box to find a cozy looking pair of boots…

(Click To Enlarge)

They have a cute little label on the back, just like Ugg Australia boots, but more whimsical looking…

(Click To Enlarge)

Something I noticed right away, that completely sets Whooga boots on a level above Ugg Australia is the thickness of the Merino Sheepskin wool. You can read more about Whooga ThermoFleece™ Technology here. Just look at how thick and cozy the inside of these boots are…

(Click To Enlarge)

Whooga ThermoFleece sheepskin is treated without the Chrome Tanning agents that are used in the majority of tanning factories. This results in Whooga boots being both biodegradable and recyclable which is friendlier for the environment. Chrome Tanning is not only harmful to the environment but often causes irritation to those with sensitive skin and is actually detrimental to the durability and flexibility of the sheepskin.

So not only are these boots warm and cozy, but they are eco-friendly too!

Now, while you may not love the look of ugg boots, their comfort and practicality is undisputed. As soon as September 1st came around, everyone up here in New England started wearing their ugg boots. And I mean, everyone. It’s only mid October and we already had a first snow fall this morning. Yuck!

So needless to say, warm winter boots are a must. I might not wear them out with an evening dress, but you can bet your booty I’ll opt for these on a cold snowy day on my way to the grocery store.

Now, here’s the important part… You’re probably wondering why you should consider Whooga boots instead of Ugg Australia brand boots if you’re going to take a plunge and get yourself some ugg boots. Well, here’s the thing… Ugg Australia brand boots that are hugely popular in the US now, are actually produced in China while Whooga ugg boots are proudly made in Australia. How ironic that Ugg Australia boots aren’t even made in Australia eh? No instead they make them in China for dirt cheap and then sell them for much more than they are worth. And we buy them because they are a brand we are familiar with. Everyone is wearing a pair, so we figure they have to be good, right?

Whooga ugg boots have proven to be higher quality than Ugg Australi’s popular boots. You really can see and feel the difference. To be completely honest with you, I have a pair of each. I have a pair of Ugg Australia classic tall boots in dark brown and this pair of Whooga classic tall boots in chestnut. I personally prefer the Whooga boots because the lining is thicker and softer. It feels like you’re walking on a thick bed of soft cotton balls.

And personally, I’d much rather have Australian ugg boots that are actually from Australia and made in Australia. Seems more authentic, ya know?

I love anything pumpkin flavored. Pumpkin candles, pumpkin soap, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin chapstick, pumpkin pie…. If it smells or tastes like pumpkin, I’m all over it. I just loooove pumpkins. So this review will be a little biased and not because the reps for Desert Essence sent me a tube of Pumpkin Hand Repair Cream.

I can’t think if anything more heavenly than slathering my whole body in delicious pumpkin lotion. But since I can’t do that all day long, this is the best alternative.

I have a bottle of Desert Essence Organics Pumpkin Hand Cream sitting right next to my computer screen so I can indulge in the yummy scent anytime I like. It soaks in quickly so I don’t have to worry about getting my keyboard or mouse all slimy. The organic Pumpkin Seed Oil, with high levels of vitamins A, C, E and K, plus zinc, helps to combat daily environmental stress on the hands. And a proprietary blend of Organic Pumpkin Seed and Licorice Leaf extracts helps to even skin tone and fade the appearance of age spots on the hands.

Desert Essence Organics Repair line delivers a high concentration of organic oils and organic extracts which provide intense moisture to the skin and aid in the repair process. As Organic Jojoba Oil is similar in structure to our skin’s oils, it is able to deeply penetrate the skin, leaving it soft and supple. I absolutely adore the warm and spicy smell of this hand cream. It’s just the yummiest scent in the whole word. (I told you I was bias! LOL)

The Desert Essence Organics Pumpkin Hand Cream retails for $8.99, but is on sale for only $6.99 on desertessence.com right now. You can also find it on drugstore.com.

If you get it and really, really like it, then stock up on it by getting a 3 pack of Desert Essence Organics Pumpkin Hand Repair Cream on Amazon.com for only $26.97.
