Fur Trends for Your Everyday Wardrobe

Alison — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 18:57:33 +0000

Wearing fur is on trend for fall but can also be a difficult trend for moms to incorporate into our everyday attire. We’re always on the go and most hours of our day require “practical” attire. We need pieces that don’t scream street walker or give the impression that we’re trying too hard to be hip and chic.

Incorporating fur is easier than you think, doesn’t need to cost a fortune and will extend beyond one season. This particular trend doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon, so it’s not necessarily a bad investment. No matter what your budget, we have a few options to incorporate into your fall and winter wardrobe.

Bomber Jacket with Faux Fur Collar – LOFT $89.99

Faux-Fur Cuff Knit Gloves – Juicy Couture $68.00

Short Rabbit Infinity Scarf – Intermix $158

Faux Fur Trim Cardigan – Nordstrom $129.00

Lacey Faux Fur Booties – LOFT $138.00

Faux Fur Trim Parka – Nordstrom $99 (sale)

Bootcamp for Tummies with Mama Mio! Take the 30 Day Challenge

Alison — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 13:00:31 +0000

How fit is your belly? Very few women are 100% happy with this area no matter how slim they are post pregnancy. The number one cause of a belly bulge is diastasis recti. I developed diastasis during my second pregnancy and not matter how much I exercise and eat healthy, a little bump remains a fixture on my post baby body.

Surprisingly, this is extremely common. After giving birth many women develop a gap between their abdominal muscles that can be felt beneath the belly button, running up to the ribs and down to the pubic bone. This gap, called diastasis recti, was once covered in muscle, holding everything behind it. With the separation, there is no ‘corset of muscle’ to hold the stomach wall tight and flat.

This often leads to back pain and bulging belly. Oh, the joys of motherhood! The only way to eliminate both is to weave that muscle back together and create a strong core, a ‘corset’ that holds you in. Crunches are not the answer and, in fact, can make the bulge worse.

If you need to tackle the tummy bulge, take the 30 day Mama Mio Bootcamp for Tummies with me! I’m committing for the next 30 days to follow this quick and super-easy program. Who doesn’t want flatter and sexier abs! The benefits are well worth the commitment.
