Mama Mio Congratulations! Deluxe Pregnancy Skin Care Kit – A Must-Have For All Moms To Be

May 27, 2010 By The Fashionable Housewife

The Mama Mio Congratulations! Kit is the mother of all pregnancy skin care kits and an absolute must-have for all moms to be!

Going from having a flat tummy to pampering a baby bump can be hard on you emotionally and of course, physically. These three fabulous products make the 40 week journey a lot more pleasant.

The kit contains:

Tummy Rub Oil for award-winning stretch mark prevention 106ml/3.6 fl.oz
OMega Super-rich Body Cream a gorgeously fragrant moisturizer 200ml/6.8 fl.oz
OMega Shower Cream to cleanse and hydrate your skin. 300ml/10 fl.oz

I’ve been using all the products in the kit since the beginning of my second trimester and I’m now just entering the third trimester. I slather the Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Oil on my belly every single night before I go to bed and sometimes in the morning after I take a shower too. It’s performed excellently so far as I haven’t gotten a single stretch mark on my belly!

The Mama Mio OMega Super-rich Body Cream is fabulous for all the other areas that get stretched while you’re preggo like your love handles, thighs, butt and breasts. The scent is sensational and it’s rich and creamy without being heavy and greasy. It’s so heavenly that you’ll want to keep on using it long after you pop the baby out. I can’t imagine living without this one… Seriously.

I also love the OMega Moisturizing Shower Cream a LOT. It’s ideal for pregnancy because it was carefully created to maintain the moisture balance in your skin, unlike everyday products, which will strip away all of your moisturising efforts. It is oh-so-gentle and smells gorgeous. It has a low-lather formula using an extremely gentle cleanser (created for babies!) and is PH balanced suiting even the most sensitive skins. As you would expect from Mama Mio it is Sodium Laureth Sulfate free.

This is absolutely a must-have kit for ALL pregnant woman. If you are expecting, do yourself a favor and get this ASAP. And if you know someone who is sporting a baby bump, treat them to these heavenly products and they will surely appreciate it!

PRICE: $55

I also recommend getting the OMega Body Oil as well. It’s a gorgeously fragrant blend of sink-in-quick oils including a mix of Argan, Safflower, Sweet Almond and Jojoba oils to smooth your body all over.

It’s quick to apply, keeps your skin nourished, firm, elastic and glowing. 100% pure natural moisture for 100% fit skin. An un-oily oil that is just amazing! This is a totally addictive product that will become a year-round essential in your bathroom cabinet.

Mama Mio OMega Body Oil for Intense Moisturization for Dry Winter Skin

February 4, 2010 By The Fashionable Housewife

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.

Mama Mio Lucky Legs – Rapid Relief for Tired Legs

December 3, 2009 By The Fashionable Housewife

llegs1 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”.

Mama Mio Boob Tube Breast Firming Cream

October 26, 2009 By The Fashionable Housewife

You have to admit, the name really grabs your attention, eh? But Mama Mio Boob Tube is more than just a cute name.

This cream is a unique blend of nature’s healing and highly moisturizing ingredients and is packed with omega 3, 6 and 9 and the amazing CoQ10.

Let’s face it… Our boobs just aren’t what they used to be. This vulnerable skin is exposed daily to sun, gravity and inspection and it not only needs protecting but a little uplifting too! Using Boob Tube daily helps fight sag and droop by improving skin’s strength and elasticity. It gives you a more beautifully textured, well toned neck and bustline. Celebs like Jessica Alba and Sarah Michelle Gellar love Boob Tube, Mama Mio’s award-winning best-selling bust cream.

I started used the Bootcamp For Boobs Kit on August 1st, 2008. I used it religiously for 30 days and saw dramatic improvement. You can read the review here. I have always been skeptical about “magical creams” that promise to do anything more than moisturize, but this stuff really works.

Another benefit of using Boob Tube is you get to know your boobs a bit better! A daily application of Boob Tube firming bust cream helps women become more aware of their own bodies and play active roles in their health.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Mama Mio is donating $1 per Boob Tube sold at www.MamaMio.com during the month of October to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

You can enter to win Mama Mio Boob Tube in the Fashionable Gals For A Cure Breast Cancer Awareness Fund Raiser and Giveaway. (Look for prize pack number 6!)

(You can also purchase Mama Mio Boob Tube Cream on Drugstore.com for $45)

My Super Duper Journey To Weight Loss

January 2, 2009 By The Fashionable Housewife

New year. New You! It’s time to wage war against your fat and put those muffin-tops and saddle bags to rest for good. Join us in losing 5 pounds this month!

I’ve been on a mission to eradicate adipose from my lower half for almost 2 years now. Half way into my pregnancy, despite my best efforts to not gain a huge amount of weight, I started looking like a blimp. Ugly stretch marks started to appear on my thighs, even though I slathered every anti-stretch mark cream and lotion available from my neck to my ankles at least 2 times a day. It didn’t work. Not only that, it made me feel like I did something wrong.

I tried so desperately to retain my perfect flesh as I watched it get ripped away from me as my body and belly grew bigger. By the time I gave birth, I didn’t even want to look at myself in a mirror, let alone be naked in front of one.

After months of trying to ignore how awful I felt about my body and just take care of my newborn, I finally decided I had to do something about it. My weight and the way I looked affected how I felt about myself so much, that it made going on with daily life extremely difficult.

This past Fall I started walking everyday, exercising, and was willing to try anything that might help. So I sent my squishy butt and saggy boobs to Mama Mio Bootcamp! After a little over a month on the program, I felt a huge change within myself as well as changes on the outside too. It really kicked me into high gear of taking my body back.
