Ballet flats (as seen on Jessica Alba and Reese Witherspoon ) are a mom essential…do you have some?
Wish you could slip seamlessly from high heels to chic flats, without toting around bulky shoes all day? We are in love with City Slips because they lets mom wear supportive and stylish ballet flats while running errands throughout the day (held conveniently in a tiny, chic clutch), but transition to sky-high-heels whenever they want to feel gorgeous (the clutch unfolds into a large tote to carry your heels when you’re done).
As if City Slips flats aren’t already fabulous enough on their own, we are so excited to offer them HALF off for only 2 days! Here’s how it works:
* Go to our limited time City Slips discount page!
* If 10 or more of you get your own pair of City Slips (purchase includes the clutch/tote) from our Makeover Momma store from Wednesday (March 10′th, 9 AM) to Friday (March 12′th, 12 AM)… we will all get 50% off!
* Your City Slips will go from $28, to only $16!
* Don’t worry- we won’t be charged unless we all meet our goal… so encourage others to purchase too!

Moms (like Nicole Richie and Kathy Ireland) express scent and beauty in their own way… how do you?
Can scent really connect us to our memories? We have Real Momma writers Jenny and Corey test out these new spring scents, to see what memories they really evoke…
The Scent: Memoire Liquide Soleil Liquide Eau de Parfum
* Jenny says: “This fragrance is a wonderful blend of citrus, floral, and musk. Not too fruity, not too flowery, not too musky. Just enough of each of the three to achieve a balance of lightheartedness, intrigue, and romance. You’ll love it!”
The Scent: Memoire Liquide Vacances Liquide Eau de Parfum
* Corey says ” I grew up in South Florida and my grandmother’s house was between the beach and the intercostals, surrounded by blooming gardenias. The palm trees ripe with coconuts were soon mixed with warm vanilla, eggs, flour, etc. and turned into her famous coconut cake…Memoire Liquide’s Volume 1 fragrance (Vacances Liquide) embodies all of these elements and, hence, I cannot stop wearing it (I even spritzed my scarves with it, so while I am physically struggling through all of this snow, I am mentally sitting on my grandmother’s dock with a big slice of cake!).
I was intrigued by the Coe-now-Bakewell-and-Hutshing sisters fragrances, previously. They are all single notes worn alone or layered to create a personal fragrance that has this transportive element connected to personal scent memories (plus the whole self autonomy connected to “creating” your own fragrance is confidence boosting in itself!) The Vacances Liquide, however, blends my three most memorable scents seamlessly. What are your memorable scents? I’ll bet Memoire has a scent for you, and if not…they let you mix your own.
The Scent: Harajuku Lovers Sunshine Cuties
* Corey says “Every knows that scent it closely linked to memories and emotions, so after this H-E-double-hockey-sticks of a winter would you wear a perfume called “snow flower” ? Out just in time, and following her successful Harajuku Lovers Snow Bunny line, comes the Sunshine Cutie line from Gwen Stefani. Gwen’s five Harajuku girls (Love, Lil’ Angel, Music, Baby, and G) have been reincarnated for yet another season, and with super cute bikini’s to boot-and empty bottles are super cute figurines for your own little diva to play with!
My favorite of the five this season is Sunshine Cuties Love (a fruity floral by perfumer Ilias Ermenidis with nectarine, passion fruit, lemon blossom, plumeria, osmanthus, rose, vanilla orchid, coconut water, sensual musk and sandalwood). Yum-just smelling it makes me believe that July is finally here!”

Moms like Angelina Jolie and Gisele Bundchen love lengthening workouts (when they have the time)…how can you squeeze some in?
Want to workout from home without ever leaving your TV? Get in-home personal training ideas from Corey…
“Do you remember the 90’s song “The King of Wishful Thinking”? Well, when it comes to workout videos, I have been crowned the new queen. I would wander Target and guess at which one would be best, only to be sorely disappointed. Even worse, I may or may not have ordered workout videos from infomercials (don’t judge me). This past month, however, I have turned in my crown…
So, who’s my new Knight-in-Shining-Armor? Sir Streaming Netflix (how old is this metaphor getting?) Netflix, the popular video-rental-by-mail, has now started digital streaming to either your tivo or your laptop. Which is great because you don’t have to wait to download last season’s Dexter. So (for roughly $10 a month) you not only get unlimited awesome movies by mail, but a selection of instant ones.
What does this have to do with working out, you ask? Netflix not only has TV show, movies, cartoons, and documentaries, but a selection of workout videos (instantly yours for as long as you like!) The best part is if you download it, and it blows…just delete it from your queue and choose another to try (no money or time will be lost!) The worst part of the whole deal is that now you do not have an excuse to not get your work out on! Here are my top three Yoga inspired picks! (Also check out the cardio and pilates sections!)
1. Crunch Yoga Momma: A 40 min workout perfect for pre- or post-natal women (or anyone who needs slight modifications) to strengthen the body ad the mind-body connection!
2. Candlelight Yoga with Sarah Ivanhoe: Super calming and stretching. The perfect thing for you to do whilst your child has his own nap.
3. Hot Male Yoga: This is all kitsch and totally hilarious! Check it out (since, essentially, it IS free) and give your self a good ab workout, because laughing burns lots of calories too!”
* Admit It: What is the craziest way you’ve ever “snuck in” a workout?
