Bebe Au Lait/ Hooter Hiders – When only your baby needs to be checkin’ out your boobs…

June 21, 2010

Sure, my post-preggo boobs are giant fun filled lobes of milk-filled-fun that would make Heidi Montag jel. But that fun is really only for le bebe.  I have no interest in letting the rest of the world get a peek at their naked ginormity (or is it ginormosity?)  Breast-feeding in public is no picnic (a post from my mommy blog with my first kid, 4 years ago, about the bafoonery of trying to do so), at least for me, and this time I was going to make sure no waiters or distant relatives were going to get any over-sized-nipple action when whipping out the milk-shakes for Baby AJ. 

Enter BEBE AU LAIT/HOOTER HIDERS. 

The absolutely perfect solution to keeping things nice and cool while feeding the kid around other peeps, which let's face it, is just stressful. 

First of all, the fabrics are gorgeous.  The hardest part was deciding which one to get. They are designed so you can get a full view of baby while he's chowing down, he's not smothered by some random blanket and you can look chic while baby's doing his thing.

I ended up getting this one – KYOTO –  and I am LOVING IT!

CELLULITE, BE GONE! (Crossing fingers) MURAD’S FIRM AND TONE DIETARY PACK SUPPLEMENTS

June 15, 2010

One of the more super fun parts of pregnancy is the plethora of cellulite that find's it's sweet pretty way to your body.  Or, at least mine…Front of the legs, back of 'em, butt and WTF?!! Arms?  Something is way rotten in the state of L.A. friends.

Enter phase one of my attack, in hopefully what will NOT prove to be Mission Impossible – the vanishing of this lumpy, bumpy appearance from me bod. MURAD'S FIRM AND TONE DIETARY SUPPLEMENT PACKS. This box of supplements (4 week supply is $137.50) claims to reduce the appearance of cellulite AND stretch marks and encourages the appearance of firmer skin by 78%.  I'm also excited about the awesome micronutrients, fatty acids, multi-vitamin aspect that I so desperately need right now as I breastfeed that days away (and hopefully the pounds!)  I had a long talk with Dr. Murad himself about cellulite and it really is a skin issue, NOT a fat issue…which is why so many skinny bitches, like Eva Longoria, here…

Bridget Oberlin reports: HAIR TODAY, CURLED TOMORROW. REDKEN CURL FORCE 17 TEXTURIZING SPRAY-GEL

June 13, 2010

When it comes to hair, I just don’t think it gets any better than good, old-fashioned Redken! Their products always deliver as promised.  I just discovered their Curl Force 17 Texturizing Spray-Gel.  It’s the perfect product for my half-assed curly hair that without styling would just resemble dead worms on the sidewalk after the rain.  This stuff kicked my curling iron so far into overdrive that my hair stayed in perfect ringlets all day and all evening despite my constant touching and lengthy visit to a humid casting office 3 blocks from the beach.  And to make matters better, the next day I woke up with perfect, big, loose waves that lasted 2 more days!   I got so excited that I started scouring Redken’s website for more magic potions and found a product called Fresh Curls Spring Mousse Activator For Lazy Curls! 

I wonder if my naturally dead worm curls are beyond the definition of “lazy” but I just gotta give it a shot, I mean a golf ball sized squirt.  Maybe it will resuscitate my curls without going to the extraordinary measure of a curling iron and I can become one of those girls who can get ready in under an hour every day.  Although, 2 days out of 3 this week is undeniably amazing.  Why can’t I leave amazing alone? 

I guess I’ll always be chasing the dragon but for now I’m pretty buzzed by Curl Force 17.
