Amoralia Nursing Bra and Brief Review



One of the most difficult parts for me while being pregnant and nursing is finding a comfortable, well-fitting nursing bra that still looks feminine at the same time!

Amoralia has put a huge smile on my face lately because I have found all three characteristics in their nursing bra!

Amoralia creates beautiful maternity and nursing lingerie, nightwear, and swimwear. You can immediately tell that all their products are Made with Love!

I generously received the nougatine Nursing Bra.

Winner of Junior Pregnancy & Baby's best nursing bra, it's not surprising that this glamorous bra has been their best-seller for over 4 years! As supportive and comfortable as it is pretty and feminine, it's been given the nod by Kelly Preston, Sam Cameron, Rachel Weisz and Karen Elson (to name just a few).


Features:
  • soft stretchy satin and lace to adapt to your changing shape
  • cups fully lined in soft cotton for total comfort and greater absorbency
  • straps are either 12mm wide or 15mm wide in the larger sizes (DD upwards)
  • 6 row hook & eye closure to ensure that you can wear it throughout your pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • fully machine washable at 40 degrees
I also received the matching nougatine brief. There will be no more mis-matched sets with this flattering and comfortable lace brief.

Features:

  • soft stretchy satin waistband, that's curved at the front to sit below your bump
  • generous on the back to be flattering and prevent VPL
  • satin on the front is overlaid with lace
  • see-through lace panel on the back adorned with a little button rose
  • soft cotton-lined gusset for comfort


My Opinion
I seriously have the worst luck finding a comfortable nursing/maternity bra that really fits well without riding up, popping out, or any other breast problems that I don't need!

Since I had to order this bra online without trying it on, I was SUPER nervous that it was just going to be another nursing bra I threw to the back of the drawer.

Wow, was I ever wrong and, thus, EXTREMELY HAPPY!! The minute I put this bra on, I knew why it has won so many awards and been the best seller for Amoralia! It was SO COMFORTABLE, super cute and fit like a glove! It is honestly the only bra I have felt comfortable in since I got pregnant (besides my sports bras!). I love wearing it around, it supports my ample chest, and best of all, it is really sexy and feminine which is always a HUGE bonus...especially when I am feeling huge and ready to pop! :)

The only problem I have with this bra is that the lace on the front causes a texture with tighter shirts and really shows through. I can't really wear this bra with tighter shirts because I look all bumpy on top! However, I know Amoralia does offer other nursing bras that are just cotton on the front and smooth so they don't show through on shirts!

The matching briefs were also really cute and really comfortable. They fit perfectly underneath my big belly and I love that I have a cute matching pair of lingerie to wear while I am pregnant! I could have used a little more material in the back to cover a little more area...but I will just attribute that to pregnancy weight gain and my "big butt" genes! :)

I recommend Amoralia Nursing/Maternity Bras and Briefs for all pregnant and nursing mamas! If you are looking for a SUPER comfortable and supportive nursing bra, then I definitely recommend the nougatine nursing bra! It is the best one I have ever worn or owned!

Buy It: You can purchase the nougatine Nursing Bra and Briefs on the Amoralia website.

Say Hello Diamonds Earrings Review


If you are looking for a special gift of jewelry this Valentine's Day for that special someone, but are on a tight budget, then you have got to check out my new favorite jewelry site: Say Hello Diamonds! Say Hello Diamonds have the Look of Real but with the Price of Faux! Their jewelry is absolutely stunning but the price won't stun you! :)

Each replica diamond goes through a rigid selection process by Say Hello Diamond experts. These specialists analyze the weight, cut, and shine of each stone before it can be called a Say Hello Diamond. Each replica diamond is polished, packaged, and presented to the Say Hello Inspection Team. From there, the inspection team begins a 3-step review process; Look, Shake, Ensure. During this process they analyze the physical properties and test the durability of each diamond replica. Replica diamonds that meet the rigid criteria set forth are lucky enough to be called, Say Hello Diamonds.

They were featured on the Today Show and sold over 15,000 pairs of these earrings!
I generously received the beautiful Pantinas earrings!

Easily the top selling Say Hello Diamond product, the Pantina earrings stole the show on Jill's Steals and Deals and allowed women across the country to shine like a star without sacrificing their savings. The 2 CT Say Hello Diamond speaks and shines for itself, Say Hello to the Look of Real.

Product Details:
  • Stone Length = 8 MM
  • Stone Width = 8 MM
  • Stone Depth = 3 MM
  • 2 CT Per Earring
  • 4 CT TW
  • This Product is Sterling Silver

My Opinion
Now I wouldn't describe myself as a girly girl, but I do like a bit of bling every once in awhile! :) These Pantinas earrings are absolutely stunning - they are simple but gorgeous and will fit beautifully with almost every outfit out there! You will get compliments left and right when you walk out of the house with these earrings on!

They are so shiny and if I didn't know which company they came from, I would have definitely thought they were real diamonds...except for the fact that I could never afford such beautiful real diamond earrings! :) That is the greatest part about Say Hello Diamonds! You can wear beautiful diamond jewelry without carrying around the burden of the price!

If you are on a budget this Valentine's Day, but still want to buy a beautiful piece of diamond jewelry, then you have got to check out the Say Hello Diamonds selection! Their necklaces and earrings are some of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen and their prices make me happy too!

Hallmark Recordable Storybook and Blooming Expressions Review and Giveaway


Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity for us to think about those we admire -- kids, spouses, friends, teachers, and anyone else who plays a special role in our lives. To help you celebrate the season, Hallmark has recently launched new products just in time for Valentine’s Day that will help you shower those you admire in your life with care!

· Blooming Expressions- This new product allows you to deliver love, again and again, to the important people in your life. For Valentine’s Day, surprise someone special with a flower that blooms at the press of a button. Show your love in a fresh new way by unveiling sentiments like “I love you” and “There’s only one you!” 



· Recordable Storybooks- Hallmark added several new titles to its popular library of Recordable Storybooks in time for Valentine’s Day. Love you Forever and Under the Same Moon are both sweet stories about life-long love and love across the miles. They join other popular Hallmark Recordable Storybooks like Counting Kisses, All the Ways I Love You and Guess How Much I Love You.


· Greetings- Hallmark.com offers fun ways for kids (and adults) to put their unique touch on Valentine’s Day greetings. For kids, there are new Classroom Valentines that allow them to upload their photos and become the star of the card! New designs include Star Wars, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Disney Princesses. And if you’re heading to a Hallmark Gold Crown Store anytime soon, we have some fun new innovation and paper craft greetings for Valentine’s Day this year that you’ll want to check out. There are cards that light up, cards that play your favorite songs and some really unique paper craft designs.


My Opinion
One of my favorite new products from the last year are the Recordable Storybooks from Hallmark! My son absolutely L-O-V-E-S them and seriously opens up and listens to his "special books" (as he calls them!) at least once a day! He loves to hear mommy's voice as I tell him some of the most cherished and loved books out there!

That is why I am so excited that Hallmark just released new storybooks, especially Love You Forever, which I have been reading to my son since he was born! It is one of his favorite books and now I can record my voice to read it to him, even when I am not around! He has been asking for me to read this book to him since he saw it arrive in the mail but I am trying to wait to give it to him for Valentine's Day! :)

I also love their new Blooming Expressions! What a fun gift idea, especially for flower lovers like me! These flowers never wilt or die but always have an encouraging message bloom out of every flower! These make a perfect gift for any loved one this Valentine's Day - they can be reminded of your love every time they push the button and watch their flower bloom!

If you are stumped on a great gift idea this Valentine's Day, check out Hallmark's new products - their recordable storybooks are great for all children and their Blooming Expressions are great for any loved one on your list!

Buy It: You can purchase the full garden of Blooming Expressions and all Recordable Storybooks at local Hallmark Gold Crown stores and select Hallmark retailers. 

Win It: Hallmark is generously offering (1) Hallmark’s Valentine’s Day Care Pack (including 1- Blooming Expression and 1-Recordable Storybook) to a lucky winner!

Beba Bean Knit Cape Review



I am on the major hunt for cute clothes for my baby girl because I just realized I have nothing cute and girly for her! I found one of the cutest clothing items from Beba Bean and I can't wait to put it on her after she is born!

At Beba Bean, they thoughtfully design the very best in baby products ensuring every gift you give is thoughtful, adorable and memorable - including the bestselling Pee Pee Teepee™, baby clothing, infant blankets and swaddlers, baby toys and baby shoes.

I generously received the Knit Cape in Ivory. For your little riding hood, they have launched this new line of adorable hooded capes with striped inner hood detailing.

This cape is easy to get on and off and is adorned with a vintage wood toggle button detail. One size fits 6-24 months. Measures 21" X 10", 100% cotton, machine wash, tumble dry low.


My Opinion
Isn't this cape not the cutest??!!

This Knit Cape is made very well and will hold up against wear and washing over and over! I love how soft and comfortable the cotton is and the neutral color will match with so many cute outfits and dresses to keep my little daughter warm, but fashionable at the same time!

The striped hood adds a little color and design (along with extra warmth) and the little wooden button just finishes off this cute cape perfectly! I will totally enjoy dressing up my little "White Riding Hood" when she arrives! :)
