Green Beaver Jr. Boreal Berries Lip Balm

I received this kid's lip balm to review & Ange loves it! I've never had her review anything before so it was funny asking my 6 yr old what she liked about it lol She loves the berry smell & couldn't stop sniffing it :) A lot of lip balms that I've tried don't keep my lips as moisturized for as long as I like & I often need to re-apply but I didn't have that problem with this one. This is perfect for Ange cause her lips have been a lot drier than usual. I can't wait to try the rest of the Green Beaver Jr. line!

Milkmakers Lactation Cookies

0 comments


I can't believe there are cookies that help increase breastmilk supply! I've actually read really good reviews on this & can't wait to try it. Unfortunately, I was only able to breastfeed Ange for 3 months because I had an inadequate supply - mostlikely because I'm the pickiest eater in the world & didn't get enough nutrients to produce. I really enjoyed breastfeeding & was really sad when I had to stop :( Mothers share a really special bond with their babies during feedings & I just hope this lil one with be able to latch on as easily as Ange did. Hopefully this time around I won't have the same problem producing thanks to these cookies!

Milkmakers adds key milk-producing agents such as brewer's yeast (which increases and stimulates the production and flow of breast milk) and ground flax seed (a source of DHA crucial for optimal brain development) to an all natural cookie recipe. The result is a highly efficient and great-tasting oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. Milkmakers can be stored in the freezer and defrosted as needed.

The Cinch Wrap

0 comments


I swear I wish I knew about all these products when I had Angel! I recently learned about belly wraps and am definitely excited to try it! I can't wait to get back into shape ASAP and hopefully look even better than before - I did buy the lace dress & bathing suit during my pregnancy for a reason!



So far I've heard about Tauts designed by Brooke Burke, Belly Bandits & now The Cinch which I think is the one I'm going to go for.

The Cinch is an abdominal wrap designed to help suck in your midsection and regain your waistline. It’s like a girdle only softer, way more comfy and with just the right amount of support to remind you how to properly hold your core, post-baby. And it works similarly to how Spanx works — seemingly taking off pounds just by wearing the appropriate under-garment.

Simple, adjustable elastic straps allow for the right fit — you can really tighten the Cinch to suck it in a lot, or keep it at modest tension (which still seems to do the trick too). Wear the Cinch while hanging out in the comforts of home or under loose garments (like a dress) during the day. It can go undetected; I tried wearing it at work for a full day and nobody caught on.

It’s made with a nylon-polyester-Spandex fabric that’s lightweight, breathable, and really smooth (no bulk!). It’s not the most comfortable thing to suck in your gut all day with a wrap around your core, but it really does help you retrain your stomach muscles and focus on getting back your pre-pregnancy waistline.

Dreams Can Come True

1 comments


Ahhh I'm so close to owning the jumbo Chanel I can almost feeeel it!! I recently called the Chanel boutique in Yorkville & found out that it's increased to $3415 :( Obviously my dreams were shattered and any chance of him ever getting it for me were shot too but I did what I do best and have tried to justify the price to him ever since by saying it's an investment because they increase their prices every year, that since it's a classic, Ange will even appreciate it when she's older lol I never thought I'd ever get anywhere but I told him that I'd try to save for it & he can help me out with the rest! So far I've saved up $1500 (all of which he gave me over the past few weeks lol) and he said pretty soon I'll have enough to buy it myself! I told him that when we do go downtown to get it, he'd have to wait outside while I make buy it and he asked "why so you won't have to see my sour face"? lol Which means...that he's actually considering to get it for me! We agreed not to do anything for eachother for Valentines Day since we'll be home together anyway & our anniversary is coming up next month so I told him not to bother getting me a gift, just to get the Chanel bag hehe and he didn't argue ;p I told him i'll mostlikely only have $1500 to contribute to my bag because I obviously have to put money aside for his gift too (I'm planning to get him the Louis Vuitton perforated leather loafers). I told him that I only want one luxury item at a time & that after the bag I want the Chanel pearl necklace hehe



He didn't like that too much and asked me if I want the baby hehe But a girl can dream right and afterall, dreams do come true ;p
I swear, I don't know how I got soOoo lucky and spoiled considering I just freaked on him the other day cause I woke up & decided I didn't like him that day mainly because he didn't cuddle with me allll night like he always does...I pretty much put him through hell that day for reasons unknown to him lol but he's so sweet and forgiving :) Pregnant people can be real bitches, but I've actually been really good so far - that day was an exception so he's lucky too!
Anyway, I so can't wait until our anniversary! This is going to be the best year ever!!

Baby Trend Single Snap 'N Go Stroller

0 comments


On Sale for $69.97 CAD from $100 @ Toys R Us

My sister gave me the solution to my stroller dilemma! I was contemplating on getting the Bugaboo Cameleon or the Peg Perego Skate...but I've read reviews that the Peg Perego is heavier and has a dinky basket. I wanted it because it has a matching car seat whereas the Bugaboo doesn't. But now that I know about the Snap N Go, my problems are solved! I don't need a stoller with a matching car seat as long as I have this and I can stick with the Bugaboo :) I've read really good reviews on this so I'm gonna get him to pick it up tonight :) This will be our very first purchase for this baby :)
