A lil’ background on the haute Mama’s behind this adorable clothing line:

Natasha Koudsi and Amy Bright, the co-founders of 2 chix.tm, began an “arranged friendship” by their then boyfriends. The guys were not only best friends, they were also 1st cousins and inseparable. They conspired to encourage their girlfriends to become friends so they could maintain their ritual “guys night out.” Luckily, the guys succeeded.

Before long, both couples were engaged and the girls began to plan their respective weddings. Upon searching for the perfect engagement announcements, Natasha and Amy determined that they had fresher ideas than what was currently available in the stores. They decided to create their own engagement announcements, which became such hits amongst their families and friends, that other people began to commission them to create invitations and cards for their special occasions. What started out as weekly “girls night out” turned into Friday night “girls night in – work sessions” and subsequently, 2 chix.tm was born.

As their respective wedding dates drew near, ironically both girls had bridesmaids that had become pregnant. During several of their excursions to find bridesmaids dresses for their expecting bridesmaids, they were constantly reminded of the difficulty in finding cute yet sexy, trendy and comfortable maternity clothing. With their candid sentiments and clever graphics, Natasha and Amy were encouraged by their pregnant friends to expand their greeting card line to maternity apparel. Utilizing their friends as focus groups and fit models, 2 chix.tm came up with the perfect formula for the perfect maternity tops. With family plans in the near future for both girls, their apparel line has become a passion, a novelty and a necessity for the “2 chix.”

As of December, 2005, both owners of 2 chix announced their respective pregnancies! With Natasha just a couple of months ahead of Amy, both women will start the New Year with a fresh perspective on what it means to be an “haute mama.”

They are also having some really good sales going on right now!

Nature's Baby Organic's Review & Giveaway!

Mom Most Traveled-Give it Away Now-Blog Carnival!!!

n

Congratulations to Courtney C. of Windham, NH!!! You products should be to you soon :)

I absolutely love organic products. So I was extremly thrilled when I got to review two wonderful products from the Nature’s Baby Organic’s product Line. We got the Shampoo & Body Wash in Vanilla Tangerine and the Bubble Bath in Tangy Tangerine. As most of you know by now, my kids have very sensitive skin, so any product that is natural or organic is intriguing to me. Me and my husband have sensitive skin too, so I was happy to learn that this is a product line for the whole family, not just our little ones! So, upstairs and to the bathtub we went to put these two products to the test. I ran the water and put my babies in the tub. Then I squeezed abit of the bubble bath into their bath water. It bubbled up right away. In order to get tons of bubbles, just make sure you use only the Nature’s Baby Organic’s Bubbles and nothing else in the water, to get nice puffy bubbles and lots of them! I noticed right away the smell, ahhhh, smelled just like those orange Otter Pops I use to eat as a child (and still do :) ), smelled soo yummy! So far, so good. No rashes breaking out and the kids skin seems to be fine, yae!

Shampoo

Next, I sudsed up my little baby girl with the shampoo & body wash, the smell of this was that of a creamsicle, YUM! It has a creamy texture and seemed to be very moisturizing on my baby’s skin. It sudsed up wonderfully and seemed very gentle. It washed off nicely without leaving a film behind,
just soft little baby skin :) I was very pleased with the products. The scents are amazing and my little ones came out of the tub, clean and smelling of great childhood memories, orange otter pops and creamsicles!!!

Belli Skin Care Review and Coupon Code

Belli

Wow, that is what I said when I opened the box of Belli Skincare goodies sent to me to review. Inside was a wonderful bunch of goodies for ME!! Haha! I FINALLY get some Mama stuff :)

Belli Skincare is certainly a wonderful brand of products! I got the Motherhood Essentials Kit which includes: Includes: Pure Comfort Nursing Cream .5 oz, Eye Brightening Cream .5 oz, Body Firming Serum 4 oz and Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer 2 oz. I also got two samples of the Acne Clearing Facial Wash. AND I got Skin Smoothing Body Exfoliator & Foot Relief Cream!!!

belli skincare

Oh, I was in heaven :)

I put the kids to bed, early, and went to take a bath! In my bath I used the Skin Smoothing Body Exfoliator. I loved how it scrubbed away the day and left my skin feeling wonderfully soft. After the bath I used the Body Firming Serum. The first thing I noticed about this serum was the lightness of it as it went on my skin, quickly absorbing and left my skin “oh sooooo soft” seriously, my legs and behind were pure SILK feeling!! I LOVE IT! The Foot Relief Cream came next, it went on smooth and was not too thick, it absorbed nicely, my skin felt cool and refreshed! Then on went the Eye Brightening Cream. It is very moisturizing, but a light moisturizing, not a heavy greasy one. I didn’t notice any change, like my eyes did not all of a sudden become more brighter or less tired looking, but it did make my little wrinkles less noticeable, with continuous use, I am sure it will brighten up my peeps! The moisturizing hand sanitizer is one of my favorites, and when I run out I will definitely be getting more. I almost forgot to include my thoughts on the Acne Clearing Facial Wash, it was a light facial wash that gently cleansed my face with no irritants. My face felt very clean. I liked that after I used it, it did not get that “tight” feeling I usually get after I cleanse my face with other cleansers. I did not personally use the Pure Comfort Nursing Cream (my daughter just weaned herself), but I will definitly keep it handy for when we try for baby #3 next year!! :) It has been a long time since I felt this pampered, I felt really good :)

A little bit about Belli Skincare (taken off of their site):

Giving birth to your baby is so much more than a physical act. It’s a life-altering experience, full of emotion, beauty and meaning. For expectant and new mothers, it’s also a time of uncertainty, with a changing body, unique skin care issues, a new baby to care for, and heightened safety concerns.

At Belli, we support expectant and new mothers through this changing time by providing soothing, balanced skin products that pamper and protect. Our collections – Belli Pregnancy, Belli Motherhood and Belli Baby – address the specific needs of each stage, with thoughtful attention to the safest formulations.

Belli Pregnancy has set a higher standard for prenatal safety, as the only skin care line in the world that is teratology screened. We search through over 16 million medical research articles in over 5000 international journals, and use this information to exclude ingredients with even remote links to birth defects or other problems with pregnancy. Belli Motherhood is LactMed screened to avoid ingredients linked to harmful effects during breastfeeding. Belli Baby is screened for xenoestrogens — chemicals which can act like hormones that interfere with normal development of the reproductive system. So no matter which Belli products you use, you can have peace of mind erring on the side of caution.

At Belli, our love of pregnancy and motherhood guides everything we do. Our goal is to support and encourage new mothers, inspiring self-confidence and greater safety in both pregnancy and parenting.

“Every Belli product is allergy tested, free of synthetic dyes and paraben preservatives. Belli products feature natural organic ingredients whenever possible. We do not perform any testing on animals”

Belli Skincare has put together a special code just for my readers to use! Perfect and just in time for Mother’s Day!! Just enter promo code: MOTHERS (all CAPS) giving a 20% off all orders now till MAY 15th!!!

“Thank you Belli Skincare for this opportunity to review your great products!”

Yanni Voices Review

Yanni voices

I got the chance to review a wonderful CD By Yanni, titled “Yanni Voices”, and it was great! As soon as I recieved it in the mail, I popped it in the cd player and instantly fell in love with this cd. This is the first time Yanni has brought vocals to his music. I was not sure what I would think of it, because I am so use to Yanni’s instrumental compositions, but this was a great listen.

This cd introduces four amazing young vocal artists, Nathan Pacheco, Chloe, Ender Thomas (love his name, btw!) & Leslie Mills. They were all discovered and monitored by Yanni. The album was released on March 24th & PBS had an airing of the Yanni Voices Live Concert at the Forum at Mund Imperial in Acapulco for the month of March. The Yanni Voices world tour kicked off in the U.S. on April 10th, how exciting!

“The human voice is the most expressive instrument known to man…It can evoke an enormous amount of emotion.” -Yanni

The song “Kill Me With Your Love” was on the Smooth Jazz Top 20 radio show. YANNI VOICES, was his first studio release in 6 years! It debuted at #20 on Billboard’s Top 200 and #1 on the New Age chart!  This is Yanni’s highest chart debut ever to date & the first time ever to feature vocals to his classic compositions.

Yanni Voices

This is Yanni’s highest chart debut in his career to date and the very first time in Yanni’s career to prominently feature vocals and lyrics to his classic compositions.

So, if you are looking for a great cd to put on and just have some “you time”, then this is the one to buy! You can find it at Amazon.com for a great price, or go here to purchase his downloaded songs.

Become a Yanni Fan & join the club!

Thank you One2One Network for this great opportunity to review “Yanni Voices”
