* Subway’s The Heart Truth Giveaway:
Did you know that February is American Heart Month? Even though most of us Makeover Momma’s are conscious of healthy eating habits and taking care of ourselves, so many of us forget about the fragile nature of our “heart health”. Heart health isn’t about what size jeans we where or how firm our abs are… it’s about making the right choices every day to fuel ourselves properly. This is why Diet Coke and Subway have partnered together to start The Heart Truth campaign (raising awareness about healthy living and it’s positive impact on our heart). A lucky viewer won a special giveaway during last night’s show (including a gym membership and Subway gift card), but you can keep the giving spirit alive in your heart by visiting DietCoke.com to see how simple Facebook games and smart phone “check ins” can donate to the cause.

You Can Get Clear Skin And A Slim Figure In 28 Days
* Makeover Momma TV Recap of the Week:
Happy Valentine’s Day! (Well…almost). Even though Makeover Momma TV wasn’t technically on V-Day this year, we celebrated a few days early with every ounce of relationship complaints, kvetches and psychoanalysis possible. I even had my “innocent” husband as a special guest on the show (and if you think he got off easy, you’re sorely mistaken).

MMTV Book Club Topic: Healthy Eating
Need inspiration for your family meals? I tackled these brand new, innovative nutrition books on Makeover Momma TV, and now you can too….
* “The Crabby Cookbook” By Jessica Harper: This is the quintessential cookbook for anyone who is tired of cooking for their family. Even though I personally wish I could channel my inner Cat Cora at any given meal, I usually end up cooking 5 different options to please various members of the family. While the baby has hummus and crackers, my eldest has a fruit smoothie and veggies, or my husband has a giant pizza… I end up turning to a stale bowl of cereal and a healthy dose of exhaustion instead. Even if your microwave is your best friend, the 135 recipes in this book are easy for anyone (and meant to appease even the pickiest of eaters). Although this book isn’t about losing weight or slimming down, it’s a no nonsense approach to food…something we all can appreciate!
* “Feed Your Face” by Dr. Jessica Wu: If I could be in love with a book right now, it would be this one. I have read my fair share of beauty and nutrition books in the past, and always come away from them feeling stressed out. Nutrition books always want to eliminate something drastic: sugar, dairy, carbs, sanity….the list goes on and on. Reading “Feed Your Face” however was a breath of fresh (tasty) air.
It literally is the perfect way for any and every human being to eat because it helps your body work at it’s very best (revealing clear skin, less wrinkles and shiny hair). I talk about “balance” a lot when it comes to nutrition, but this eating plan helps put balance into action. You enjoy 3 fresh, colorful meals (think veggie pizza, egg frittatas or chocolate smoothies) and 2 healthy snacks. There is no need to cut anything from your diet unless it benefits your body (as in my case with gluten and most dairy products). You don’t have to count calories, weigh foods or freak out about portion sizes either. Now do you see why I’m in love?
* Speak Up: What was the last meal you cooked for your family?

Refresh Your Style With A Little (Big) Black Purse
* Makeover Momma TV Recap of the Week:
Have you ever seen a live webisode and Twitter party combined? Makeover Momma TV broke new grounds this week by combining the two (equaling tons of giveaways, lots of chat and a unique live show). Jump in on the party by watching the footage above, or check out my favorite details below…

Product of the Week:Â Jackie Satchel
I love my Christina Satchel. I love it because it gets me noticed (I’m not above praise from strangers), helps me feel put together (a rarity when I’m covered head to toe in melted crayons and apple sauce), and helps me look polished no matter what I wear. My purse has gone with me to Las Vegas on business, to fancy meetings where I pretend to be a grown up, and even to the streets of New York during Fashion Week. So why do I need a new purse from Shop Suey Boutique? Because brown doesn’t go with everything.
Even though I love mixing various shades of brown and black together (take that old fashioned wardrobe rules), sometimes a girl just wants a sleek, classic black purse. But since there are a vastitude of black purses in the world, finding the right one can be tricky. Since I’ve never been unhappy with a Shop Suey item, I decided to go for the Jackie Satchel. It has tons of pockets for my small arsenal of mommy items (cell phone, credit cards, Elmo books), is only $58 (chump change in the world of clutches), but doesn’t blend in with all the other noir bags available. And if you already have a black purse? It comes in a variety of other colors too, including camel, beige, gray and (my personal favorite) red… who can argue with that?
* Speak Up: Which color of the Jackie Satchel would YOU choose?
