Stuff for you
One of our favourite diaper bags right now is the Mothership diaper bag from Fleurville. With its insulated bottle holder and lots of exterior pockets, this bag makes toting around all your essentials easy.
Another Pina Colada, pool boy… oh darn. Confused again. This gorgeous belly cream is not only helping rid us of stretch marks and excess skin as we trim down, but the coconut scent has us convinced that we are a good deal south of Canada. Palmer’s Firming Butter was voted one of our reader’s top belly products, so we had to try it. And we love a bargain. (Shhh). It is available at drug stores, and is so inexpensive it might just be the extra excuse you need to stick with your diet. www.palmers.com

One of our resolutions this year is to proudly announce to the grocery store clerk… ‘no thank you. I don’t need bags. I have brought my own.’ Little did we know that few cloth bags are created equal. First there are those with skinny handles that cut into your hands or shoulder, then the crappy ones that develop holes, and finally, there is the ‘useless’ group – too small for any real groceries and good for only 2 wine bottles (what use is that?). UrbanMommies tried the stunning organic GreenOne Bag and we were thrilled beyond belief. Read more
You see a man or woman and think Wow. Very put-together. Is it the hair? The clothes? Possibly, but look down. Chances are, the shoes are tidy, shiny and clean. The secret is out, and I have had 2 shoe shines in a week – one the old fashioned way, with a corpulent woman flicking towels at my feet, and one with an electronic device that left a brilliant shine. My calves were sort of massaged in the process (I was in boots) and it was a heck of a lot cheaper than a manicure – yet I left with that happy feeling that I had been cared for. So if you’re short on time, and want a treat, head to a cobbler and get a bit of yourself put back together. Patent Pumps: Christian Louboutin
