Flaunt It!


Pregancy is meant to be a blessed time. But, all too often mamas can get cranky, tired, sad, and sore from carrying around such a large load. My tip for the day...Smile at a pregnant woman and tell her how pretty she looks! It will make her day! I never felt cute when I was pregnant, but I loved to hear it from my friends! They would smile and tell me how great I looked, and even though I felt like a beached whale, those words would make me feel so much brighter on the inside!

My Etsy friend, Jodi, has a great little shop where she sells the most awesome maternity shirts! I personally owned the one that says, "Does this baby make me look fat?" and I LOVED it! People always laughed and smiled at me. Even ornery grumps would get a smirk when they read my shirt! On April 3 at noon I will draw one name out of a hat. If you are that person, you'll win a Flaunt It! maternity t-shirt just like this one http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16497227

I just had a lady today tell me how cute I looked and that I am so small for having only 8 weeks left. She said that I must be a healthy eater...I try. But those words were music to my ears, since I do not feel so small especially after a horrible nights sleep of dealing with my biggness. Love ya Jen, and thanks for the great giveaway opportunities!

I forgot to mention that I really like her cute sayings on her shirts. The "Blessed" and "Give me chocolate and nobody gets hurt" are just geat! Count this as my comment with the above comment. Sorry I didn't mention what I saw the first time. I guess I was overwhelmed by such a nice lady I ran into today. :) You can cancel the comment too if you want to since I am now rambling. :)

I wish I had seen these tees when I was preggo! They say what everyone is already thinking! I could definately use the chocolate one now, as my nursing hormones seem to demand! I live in longsleeve tees! CUTE!

Joppa Minerals is a high class, high quality, line of products. I've used some of the facial cleansing and body products, and I am anxious to try the makeup. One of these days I will get to the shop for a makeover!

I had never heard of natural make up! I love the concept of getting myself & teenage daughter switched over to a healthy natural alternative. Thank you for educating me! If you give away any samples of these products please consider our family.
Thank you.
