As you know it is Mother’s Day and mothers across the world are celebrating. Sometimes it can be difficult to think about a gift for mom because she already has so much.  Luckily when it comes to gifts for mom we have a  lot of choices.  Are you looking for a last minute gift for mom? I may have the perfect solution for you.

BRAS…

Every women in the US has heard of them. Many can’t stand wearing them but do because it is a necessity. If you are like my mother you can’t stand under wire and rip the wires out of any new bra you get. You might be destroying your bras because that painful under wire is just too much to bare. Then there are the seams. Certain bras make your back fat look enormous under clothing. It almost appears that certain bras draw attention to that area instead of detracting from it.

Bras by Genie are one style fits all bras for women who want to be comfortable while looking good. These bras are made to be comfortable and  convenient. Each bra is designed to have  elegant curves that naturally contour to a women’s body. There are 3 styles of bras made by Genie plus a legging garment made specifically to smooth and contour  your body. These bras do not have wire in them! They are made for women, girls and especially moms. The fabric is breathable and smooth. You can wash these garments and they won’t loose shape. The unique fabric conforms to any cup size so as long as you fit into one of their available chest sizes you won’t have to worry about if they will fit your cup size.

After witnessing mom destroy bra after bra over the years I decided it was time to find something that has all the qualities in a bra that mom will like without the wires. The best part is mom can find these bras at most major retail stores { even her favorite store, Walmart} and she won’t need to rip apart her garments to get the wires out.

I found Genie bras at a store and was interested in them so I contacted the company to see if I could review them and a couple days later they contacted me for a review.

I received 3 items from the Genie line: the original Genie bra, Milana bra and Cami Shaper. I fell in love with all 3 as soon as I tried them on. I can’t say I will want to go back to my old bras, ever.

• The original Genie Bra is so comfortable and if you are ordering off of the Genie Bra website you get a set of 6 bras for $60! You can also pick them up at stores like Walmart for $9.99 each. That is a tremendous bargain for such a comfortable bra. I received the beige bra, it fit well and was true to size but was not my favorite of the 3 bras I received. Genie bra is good for those who recently had a mastectomy or other surgery because it is under wire free. Sizing available includes the following: xs-xl and plus sizes 2x-4x. The bra has removable pads and they should be removed before washing the bra.
• Milana Bra is by far my favorite of the 3 bras I got to try. I really love the lace panel insert that hides your cleavage. It was nice to have for my office job since a lot of my blouses are v cut. This bra is made of the same fabric all the Genie bras are made from, Everlast fabric and also has removable pads that must come out before washing. In my opinion, the bra is almost identical to the original Genie except with the Milana you get a lace panel and it is better coverage with a wider back area that couture’s more than the Genie original. the Milana bra is sold online only and comes in sets of 2 for $60.00
• Cami Shaper is a cami with a built in Genie bra. It is super comfortable and smoothes out any imperfection. You can wear Cami Shaper alone or under clothing. I prefer to wear mine under clothing for maximum shaping. Easy to clean and soft fabric makes this my fabric garment in my closet.

Genie bras are awesome because they provide full coverage and can be worn for workouts. As a plus sized women that is top heavy it can be hard to find a sports bra that provide the coverage and support that I need during a workout.

Now days everyone is looking to supplements as a way to get healthier. Krill Oil is the newest kraze in the health industry, in fact many manufacturing plants have a hard time keeping up with demand. Krill oil is taken to aid in good heart health. Studies have shown that if you take Krill Oil it leads to a stronger heart. There are large amounts of Omega 3′s in Krill Oil which means if you don’t eat fish you are likely in need of large amounts of Omega Fatty Acids and this supplement would be good for you to take. …continue reading

My family had the wonderful opportunity to review a set of bilingual children’s books for ages 2-8 by Book Bilingual.  We received a set 6 books on USB with a target age of 2-8 years of age.You can like them on Facebook here

Did you know that the most important age for learning a new language is 0-5 years of age? Many parents are surprised when they learn that emergent literacy is learned not from lessons and curricula but from a child’s atmosphere, adult conversation, interactions and experiences. This is why exposing your child to a second language earlier in life greatly enhances their literacy skills once their language skills fully develop. In fact, studies have shown that bilingual acquisition leads to higher grades and intellectual ability. One draw back to exposing your child to another language is that it can be costly and many young families can’t afford it. Fortunately, you don’t have to enroll your child in language courses to reap the benefits of early bilingualism. There are plenty of ways to go about it free or very low cost.

Booklingual comes in Spanish and is in eBook format for easy reading on your iPod Touch, iPad, Smart Phone or other Android device. You can also view these books on your computer or eBook reader. They are fully colored and illustrated and you have 32 books to choose from on their website.

The books and materials that we received and reviewed are as follows : Bilingual Benny Likes Too Much, Bree and the Bee Can’t Share, Come to the Zoo!, Oh No, I’m Sick!, Grandma Cooks a Grand Dinner, Can You Guess What I Am?, Parent’s Guide, Super-Quick Guide to Spanish.

I thought the books were really fun and bright with good illustrations in each of the 6 eBooks we reviewed. The layout was done very well and lined up on my computer and other devices just fine. I am not a huge fan of eBook form but these books were nicely presented and my children, although older than the targeted age group, thought the books looked fun and inviting.

As an introductory, Book Lingual is offering a greatly reduced price for the entire program of 32 eBooks for 70% off. Plus when you order you will get a free book. You can purchase the pre order at their website .

I recently had the opportunity to review a Wine pourer & stopper in the LOVE theme from Beau Coup. These are great wedding favors for a wedding party or even to use at your wedding reception or rehearsal dinner.
