Mod Bod Clothing Review & Giveaway!

As I have grown from a teen to an adult (and mom) I have tried to change from the way I dressed to a more modest wardrobe.  One way to wear the cute things I like but keep covered up is by layering! And in this chilly weather, a long sleeved shirt is the perfect item to start with for layering your tops!! Mod Bod has a great selection of shirts perfect for this!!

I was offered the opportunity to do a review for Mod Bod clothing! I was very excited to try out a new item and be able to share it with you guys! I love the selection at Mod Bod and the variety of colors! Their stuff is very cute and affordable! This is great for me since I like to shop on a budget!!

I got to try the Perfect Long Sleeve in Black:
I love this shirt so much! It goes great with any kind of jacket/vest or pretty much any shirt you want to layer it with! I love it under a cute tee or over a cami that has lace on the bottom of it.  Very cute!  The shirt is very comfortable and flattering.  I love that they offer so many colors so you can choose a few and have different options!

Product Description:
Stay comfy, cozy, and in style in our Perfect Long Sleeve. It's bound to become your favorite cool-weather basic! As always, The Perfect Long Sleeve is made from our signature quality fabric. Extra length keeps you covered and longer sleeves ensure you stay warm no matter what.

I also got to try the Perfect V Neck Long Sleeve in black! 
This is a great top with a lacy cami underneath, something bright would look great! Then you can let the lace peek out the top and bottom of the long sleeved shirt! I wear this shirt layered or alone, it looks great and I feel comfortable in it no matter what!  This shirt is something I wear once a week!


Product Description:A classic shirt for all seasons, the Perfect V can be dressed up or down for every occasion. With a fit that's "just right" and a neckline that's never too low, you'll always feel confident in the Perfect V!

 Mod Bod has lots of great stuff besides shirts! Here are a few other things I love:
Katie Jean Skirt
Banded Cardigan
Lacey Front Cami

Lipo In A Box review & giveaway!!



I'm not too sure if I would ever be brave enough to go under the knife.  I'm a fan of plastic surgery if it's done right, and if it's needed.  But that's a venture too risky and too expensive for me.  But I would if I could and had the guts to do it.  Luckily, I may not have to!! I can just get Lipo In a Box!!  Lipo In a Box is a wonderful line of shapewear that will make you look amazing, eliminating the need for risky plastic surgery!!

I am a lover of shapewear, because I love how it helps hide the problem areas, and adds support where needed! It gives me a great way to look a little slimmer and feel better about myself! I fell in love with the Shimmer & Shape Convertible Cami!! It is super cute and I am all about sparkles!! Glitter makes a girl feel special I always say! The cami has removable straps, which I found really useful this weekend, when I went out for halloween in my Queen bee costume, which had a halter strap!

I really liked how it held in my goodies as well, since this dress was a bit lowcut!  It made me feel comfortable to go out in something I would usually never ever wear.  But since it was Halloween, and my 3 little ones were all honey bees, I decided to go as the queen bee. I didn't really have any other options for something to go under the dress. When I got the cami, I was so excited that it worked so well with this dress!!   It helped pull in that pesky belly fat and I went out and rocked that bee outfit!!

Product Description:
LIPO IN A BOX presents “Shimmer & Shape” -- a NEW line of shapewear with all the comfort, control and confidence you are familiar with from LIPO IN A BOX shapewear….but there’s more!  Our new “Shimmer & Shape” with a golden metallic thread provides you with a fun, fashionable and flirty shaper you’re not afraid to show!  The new Convertible Cami features and underwire bust that can be worn strapless, halter, crisscross, etc. It will help smooth and shape the middle and tummy area. This shapewear piece is one you will be proud to show. It can be worn as outerwear, beautiful with a jacket, shawl or alone. Have fun with this one!!!

Comes in these new colors: Nude with gold metallic &  Black with gold metallic

Made with  80% Nylon / 17% Spandex / 3% Metallic

I am super excited about the second top I got to try!! I also received a Firm Control Camisole Without Underwire in black! This cami is super with just about anything, since I am a huge fan of layering, and black goes with anything! I love pairing it with a colorful long sleeved shirt, or a cute shrug.  This cami comes in nude and black!!

Quick Overview:

* Next best thing to braless with support
* Offers midriff control
* No bra strap in the back
* Eliminate back rolls
* If you have a favorite bra or want a fuller look, wearing your own bra with this style camisole is an option
* If you are larger busted than our size chart indicates, this product will work if you wear your own bra

Lipo In a Box has offered my readers a special discount When you use the code: Lipoblog you get 15% off anything!  Good 30 days from review post.

Miraclebody Samantha Boot Cut Jeans Review and Giveaway!

Are you a mom like me who's pre and post baby bodies are NOT the same? Things after my 3rd didn't go back to where I hoped they would. And she is almost 2!!!  I know I am not the only one who would love to hide some of those imperfections. And of course what do we all wear but jeans all the time!?! So how about a jean that makes you look and feel great? I found the perfect ones from Miraclebody!! Their slogan is "Look 10 lbs lighter in 10 seconds"  Well, that is just great because that's how much I would like to lose! I am almost there, but while I fight those last 10 pounds, why not get a little help?

Miraclebody provided me with these jeans, the Samantha Boot Cut Jeans, for a review on my blog!  I was very excited to try these jeans on the minute they arrived!!  The jeans are a beautiful dark wash, and they sit just below the belly button.  I liked that it helped suck my belly in and hide my lovely love handles. ☺  The jeans are very comfortable and look amazing with a pair of heels!!  My husband definitely liked these jeans on me, and that is the opinion I value almost as much as my own! If he approves it, it is a good thing. I am glad he is usually really honest with me when he doesn't like something on me.

Product Description:
Function. Form. Fit. With all the essentials for an amazing look and feel, we're calling these Samanthas the ultimate luxury experience in boot cut jeans. We started by saturating our Miraclebody premium indigo denim with a stylish sophisticated dark rinse specifically designed to give you a sleek and slender silhouette. Then we added our signature canvas control panel to flatten the tummy and smooth your shape. Finally we added our unique Tiberon embellishments to the backside, putting the finishing touch on this stunning masterpiece.

features:

  • 10” Mid-rise: sits on the hips to create curves, higher in the back for additional rear coverage
  • Boot cut: subtle flair in the leg helps creates a balanced appearance
  • Studded pockets: Tiburon style, designed to give the illusion of a slimmer backside
  • 96% Cotton, 4% Spandex: comfortable fit with breath-easy stretch
  • 32” Inseam: regular length
  • Machine washable: inside out, gentle cycle
  • Made in the USA of imported fabric

washes:

  • Caravan: dark rinsed indigo denim for a slender silhouette

I love Miraclebody because even it you aren't perfect, you can look and feel amazing in something as revealing as jeans. We all know jeans stick to all the parts you may or may not want to show off.  These jeans make sure all your flaws are hidden and your assets are shown off.  That is why I love Miraclebody. 
Created by the same people who came up with Miraclesuit, the #1 brand of designer control fashion swimwear, comes the innovative patent-pending technology in the Miraclebody Collection. Miraclebody is a collection of jeans, tops, and other control fashion apparel crafted to enhance your life.

We Love Colors Microfiber Tights Review and Giveaway!

My 4 year old is very much her own person. She has her own personality, her own little language, and definitely her own sense of style. I try to help her get dressed but usually she wins. And who am I to inhibit her creativity? Heck one day she wore her Christmas dress..in June. The sundress I chose (which BTW was SUPER cute) was "hideous" to her. Well okay then!

So to help her keep covered up and looking cute, I like to add leggings and tights to her little outfits. We Love Colors is THE place to find them!  And not just for kids either! They offer all kinds of sizes in over 50 colors!  Men, women, kids and even custom tights! The possibilities are endless! I love the look with the long shirt or short dress with leggings! Super cute!



 We tried out the footless tights in black! I figured black goes with about anything and makes the other colors much brighter! What a hit! I had a super cute pink rocker dress that shrunk, so these leggings are a perfect match!

We also tried the Orchid Pink Microfiber tights!  These were hard to match to the right outfit, as the shade of pink was pretty unique! I would likely choose something a little more neutral next time, like a light yellow or something.  The tights are very pretty though! I like the quality of these products as well. Usually a pair of tights lasts one time. We're lucky to get a second wear out of them.  These tights have been worn many times with no signs of wear and no tears or runs!  That is what impressed me the most! It can be pricey to have to constantly replace leggings and tights! You can be assured that these are of good quality!  

You can win your own pair of Microfiber Tights in the color of choice for your little girl!! Here is how to enter:

MANDATORY ENTRY:  THIS MUST BE DONE FOR ALL OTHER ENTRIES TO COUNT!:
Go to Welovecolors.com and tell me which Microfiber Tights you would like for your child! Leave your answer in a comment below! Be sure I have your email to contact you if you win!

Ban Tee Shirts Review and Giveaway!

Ban T-shirts


Clothing is an expression of who you are, what you like and what you don't. I love Ban T-Shirts, cause they let me express my opinions on all sorts of hot button topics! I was given the chance to review one of their shirts, and it took me forever to choose cause they have so many great t-shirts to choose from!


I chose this shirt:
Women's Organic Activist T-shirt


This shirt totally expresses me! This last year I have been all about standing up for myself, being an advocate for me and my children and getting things done that need to be done.  


"Don't look to other people to lead us because real change can only happen when we get involved and make things happen: ultimately the power lies with usWe are the people we've been waiting for."


That message is me to a "tee" ☺


Here is a little about Ban T-Shirts:


Political T-shirts with progressive messages. An original and thought-provoking range of political t-shirts and apparel. Shirts about the big issues: the environment, democracy, freedom, war and peace. All our tshirts are made sweat shop free in the USA. Many are also made of organic cotton.


Political T-shirts: Politics is about your life, the future of the planet, and the future of our children. Participate, voice your opinion, or someone else will do it for you. The mainstream media has no right to have a monopoly over your mind. You may not have a media empire but you can still get your message across on political T-shirts, posters and any other way you can think of. A good slogan on a t-shirt will send a powerful message to passers-by. Our t-shirt slogans are the soundbites to counteract the stagnant stalemate of the mainstream media. Check out our growing selection of organic cotton t-shirts.
We print our designs on the finest brands of American made sweat shop free T-shirts: American Apparel and Royal Apparel.



Ban T-shirts is a website with left-wing, liberal, socialist, green, progressive and libertarian credentials. You'll find T-shirts that will show people where you stand on issues such as war and the environment. Express yourself with these T-shirts and meet other like-minded people - our political T-shirts get people talking! We sell shirts that are about our right to free speech and to criticise what we think is wrong. Our shirts are for those that understand that patriotism and democracy do not mean blind obedience.


Check out their new U.K. site here!


You can score your own Ban T-Shirt! Here's how to win!:
MANDATORY ENTRY, YOU MUST DO THIS TO QUALIFY FOR OTHER ENTRIES.

Wow I can't believe I just posted that online!! But it just goes to show how much I love the Assets line and how much it really does help! I also tried some of the underwear, the Unbelievable Underwear and the Sensational Shaper  Both give great bum support and help smooth out any lumps and bumps you may have! Goes great with capris, dress pants, jeans, skirts or dresses! I love the Sensational Shaper to go with a dress especially! It has a high waist, so you get a slim look with no baggage hanging out! The Unbelievable Underwear went great with my favorite jeans and kept me from having love handles!!  Both the tops and bottoms are great for anyone of any age looking for a better undergarment!
Here is a little bit about Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx Inc. and Assets from the Sara's Story Page:

From Spanx to ASSETS
I started Spanx from the back of my apartment while I was selling fax machines door-to-door for a living, so I still have to pinch myself when I think about how far we have come! Spanx has become a Hollywood secret and a red-carpet must for celebrities from Gwyneth Paltrow to Oprah. We are still a small company of women, obsessed with inventing and improving comfortable undergarments. Now we have more than 50 styles, and we sell Spanx in fine boutiques and upscale department stores like Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Bloomingdales, and in the U.K. and Canada.
But I couldn't just stop there! I wanted to find a way to share my slimming secrets with women everywhere.
In 2006, we created Assets by Sara Blakely, the ground-breaking, keep your butt from shaking, make you want to wiggle without the jiggle shapewear brand accessible for all women.
The "Bottom" Line
I created ASSETS to give better undergarment choices to women everywhere, and to give back. A portion of your ASSETS purchase will go to the Sara Blakely Foundation, which focuses on supporting and empowering women around the world. I feel very blessed to have had my "ah-ha" moment in America, where women are free to start their own business. I want women around the world with their own "ah-ha" moments to have the same opportunity to follow their dreams.

eShakti Review


If you are like me or many other moms, you probably aren't the same size or shape that you were before your little bundle of joy came along. So that often means staring longingly at clothes that don't fit the way you want them to and trust me, I know the frustration of that. Well the clothes Gods have answered our prayers ladies. I give you: eShakti, a site dedicated to helping you find beautiful clothes that truly fit you. You can adjust the neckline, sleeve type and length of your tops, adjust for cup size, choose the length of your skirts, and even customize the waist type and the length of your pants!!!! This site truly understands a woman's needs when it comes to clothes!!

I was truly excited when eShakti contacted me to review their site!! I chose the
Raw-Edge Ribbon Jersey Tee and had them make the top hip length. I gave them other sizing info and was thrilled with the quick arrival time!! Only a few days! The shirt fit amazingly, I couldn't have asked for better sizing!


Here is an up close view of the detail of the Raw-Edge Ribbon Tee


I love their quote on the top of their Web Page
"ONLY at eShakti: Complete range of sizes from size 0 to size 26W on every style. And custom sizes too.
And custom styling as well: you like a style, but want the sleeve, neckline or length to be different?
Easy as 1-2-3. Only at eShakti"


I also wanted to share the info from eShakti's About Uspage:
Our Mission:

To make every customer look her absolute best by providing amazing drape and always carrying any size she wants, and by letting her change the style too to suit herself.


Our Vision (for the future):

The customer determines what she wants to wear, and tells us and we make it just so. Like any other store, we also offer her a very large selection of styles to select from. She sees them and also sees trendy ideas and suggestions to create her own preferred look. She chooses.


Our Belief:
We believe in the internet since it benefits the customers and helps those companies who are customer-centered. The following are two important ways the internet changes shopping:


* The internet has ensured that a brand needs to mean real benefits, and not just advertising imagery. The internet enables the customer to compare different brands quickly, and even talk to other customers. She asks herself, and sometimes even her Net contacts, `Does it really look great on me? Can I get better value elsewhere?! And only if she gets a satisfactory answer does she buy.


* A woman can shop for exactly what she wants - no compromise, no premium to pay. She can ask for the fabric, color, body, styling and sizing that she likes. Earlier the information flowed one way: from the manufacturer to the customer. Now, the customer can talk to the manufacturer and easily specify online what she wants and get the clothing made just for her.


Our belief in the internet is captured in our name: Shakti in Sanskrit means power. Hence by eShakti we mean `The Power of the Net!.

Our policy:

We have given our Mission and our Beliefs above. Our policy is to fulfill our mission and to live by our beliefs.


* We offer trendy, comfortable styles in clothes in a selection of fabrics. To know what our customers like, we run customer panels.


* We offer the full size selection from 0 to 26W. We also offer custom sizes.


* We give the customer the option to change the styling to suit herself. For instance, she can change the length of the sleeve or the body, or the shape of the neckline, in a tunic quite easily during the shopping process.


* We have kept our website and customer policies friendly. We have a no-questions- money-back guarantee on sales returns, for instance.


* Now, we ship in 3 business days. Yes, even custom clothes ship in 3 days. And the transit time from us to the customer is typically 4 days. So in 7 business days or less the customer gets to wear what she has ordered from us.


* And we keep our prices stunningly reasonable.


In short, via the net, we ensure that every garment is uniquely made, for a specific customer. Our service is super-fast. We are accessible by toll-free phone and email. We listen hard, and keep in step with the customer. There is no one else who gives you guaranteed full size selections at all times; in addition we offer custom sizes and custom styles. And we envision doing more, soon.

eShakti is the company of the future, already here today.


And I am blogging here to tell you that they are telling you the truth ladies!! They really do make you feel beautiful by assuring that it fits YOU...and isn't that what we all want?? I cannot wait until payday to place another order with eShakti!!!
