Stroller Spa: A Savvy Mama’s Must-Do

March 16, 2012 By 2 Comments

Spoiled Mamas are also smart and informed mamas. And that’s why we feel it’s our duty to spread the good word of STROLLER SPA.

In prep for our new baby girl (just seven weeks away!), we’ve been researching ways to stretch our dollar. One of the great finds we discovered was Stroller Spa, a service that can buff the scruff from your old or used strollers and car seats.

We had kept our son’s stroller and car seat from just a handful of years ago, and while they are only gently used, we still wanted it to pretty ‘em up. Stroller Spa, formerly known as Buggy Bubbles, have been helping parents recycle baby gear since 2006. We thought, “Why not?”

Check out our "like new" stroller -- spotless!

The results were great. The fabric on our stroller and car seat looked refreshed, clean and back to its original white color (don’t ask us why we chose white in the first place — a first-time parents’ mistake!). They look brand new, and best of all, allows us to start up that “Mommy, I want a pony!”-fund.

Recently, Stroller Spa has franchised their business, meaning that there is surely a spa near you. Like The Spoiled Mama, Stroller Spa has its roots in the San Francisco Bay Area and has only grown from there. Aside from the basic cleaning, Stroller Spa services include fabric repair, structural fixes (i.e.: broken brakes and flat tires), stroller exchanges and rental services.

With our positive results from Stroller Spa, we are pairing up with the company to help sweeten the experience of getting your “brand new” stroller or car seat back to you. Don’t be surprised if you open the hood of your stroller to find a couple Spoiled Mama facial products or pregnancy stretch mark creams. (We like to think our cocoa butter for stretch marks can help “refurbish” your worn belly, too!)

TA-DA! Here's a very proud big brother Jayden, showing off his "gifts" for his new baby sister. We hope he'll always be so happy to share!

To find out more about Stroller Spa, check out their Website, Facebook or follow them on Twitter. We promise you won’t regret it!

Be a Sexy Mama (even when you’re expecting)

February 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Be sexy at any size. Cake Lingerie, picture above, is one of our favorite pregnancy lingerie lines.

It’s February, and right around the corner: Valentine’s Day. But if you think you’re going to have to skip this year’s holiday because you’re six-months pregnant, tired and haven’t seen your toes since November – think again.

We all know how a new dress, clavicle-grazing earrings or a pair of skyscraper heels can make you feel (at least momentarily) like a new woman. With one of the flirtiest and sexiest holidays coming up, we want to help you tap into your inner lioness…even if you’re carrying a cub.

Here are some beautiful lines of pregnancy lingerie that will help enhance your newfound curves and make you look and feel like a goddess. Feel free to leave these open links on your desktop until your significant other gets the hint.

You! Lingerie (www.you-lingerie.com)

You! Lingerie celebrates you. This company was founded by Uyo Okebie-Eichelberger when, as a first-time mom, she wasn’t able to find any affordable lingerie options. What is a gal to do? Start her own line, of course!

You! Lingerie's Bella Cerise bra is a favorite! The line's nursing bras begin at just $29.99, with sizes that range from 32B-40F (DDD).

The result is You! Lingerie, a fashion-minded and price-conscious company whose mission is “to make breastfeeding mommies and mommies-to-be feel confident and look beautiful everyday.”

They offer bra and matching panty sets at great prices, and lucky for you, the deals just keep on coming! The company is currently offering its largest sale ever, with items up to 50-percent off until Feb. 8.

 HOT Milk Lingerie (www.hotmilklingerie.com)

HOTmilk won the Creative Child Magazine’s 2011 Top Choice of The Year Award in the Nursing Apparel-Lingerie category, and it isn’t a surprise why. HOTmilk provides lingerie for whatever your mood, from comfy and cute to vampy tigress.

Functionality meets fashion with HOTmilk's nightwear sets. Above is the Love of My Life camisole ($47.95).

Their collection ranges from nursing bras to camisoles and nightware. You can even match your man’s skivvies in their MILKMAN collection. What’s more, HOTmilk works with different charities globally to help support and clothe moms in need from Africa to New Zealand. Now that’s lingerie we can feel good in and about!

Currently, HOTmilk is featuring an End of Line Sale that offers up to 40% off their best-selling products, and FREE worldwide shipping for orders more than $80. Visit the online store for more info.

Cake Lingerie (www.cakelingerie.com)

We love the Cake Lingerie’s simple and classic designs, snug fits and soft fabrics. Cake, founded in 2008, is an international Aussie designer brand that produces sophisticated maternity and nursing lingerie that is beloved by real moms, expectant women and celebs alike. One of their slogans? “Made by Mothers for Mothers.”

Real moms wearing Cake Lingerie. One of our faves is the Licorice bra, which features a gorgeous criss-cross pattern. The bra is priced at $60 at many online retailers.

In 2011, Cake took home the (ahem) cake at the UK Lingerie Awards for Maternity Brand of the Year.

So let us know, which of these brands are you drawn to the most? What are some other lines we haven’t mentioned?

Giveaway Round-Up

December 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment

‘Tis the season for holiday gift guides, giveaways and reviews! The Spoiled Mama is currently featured in a few great guides around the net  — click on to see what bloggers have to say about us and for your chance to win some great stuff.

Rehab Retinol & Hyaluronic Acid Serum Review & Giveaway
from Social Media Junkie’s Christmas Countdown

Right off the bat I could feel that the Rehab Serum was different.  The texture is actually a bit thinner than similar products I’ve tried in the past and I liked it because it felt like the product was absorbed and didn’t just sit on my skin.  It says that you’ll see a difference after a couple months of using the product but within the first week of using it regularly I could really feel my skin softening and I even think the tone was evening out!  Along my process of testing the serum, I moved and misplaced the tube for several days. I can’t even begin to tell you how quickly my skin changed.  Between not using the serum and the crazy winter weather, I dried out!  When I found the product again I think my skin literally sighed from relief.

Tummy Butter Review and Giveaway
from Networking Witches

Something I really like about The Spoiled Mama is that the ship fast. They have wonderful customer service. I think the Tummy Butter is perfect for Mom’s expanding tummies but I also think it’s perfect for really dry skin that cracks and itches. It has helped my daughters hands like nothing she’s ever used.

Stretch Marks….you CAN help prevent them!!!

December 5, 2009 By 1 Comment

I always get the question- Did you get any stretch marks? No, I didn’t, honestly! Next question, Did your mom get them? Okay, she is going to kill me for this, but yes she did. I know that many of you have heard that stretch marks are hereditary and I believe some of that to be true, however, we all gain weight differently and take care of our bodies differently.

That said, I think that you can prevent them! Not only by watching what you eat, but using products that are free from petroleum, harsh surfactants and the list goes on…

So, what are stretch marks?
