Get A Complete Beauty, Fashion and Health Makeover For FREE This August
Need an upgrade? Sometimes we all do!
* Breakdown of the Month: FREE MAKEOVERS!
Wish you could be one of the Makeover Mommas of the Month? Last month I kicked off an amazing new concept: the top brands in the world spoil 3 deserving mothers who never take time for themselves. The winners were chosen at random, and now we have 3 amazing moms who will be showing their final results super soon (so stay tuned for the big reveals!) In the meantime, wouldn’t you love to be one of the next mothers chosen? Now you can…
Win A FREE Makeover: Become the next Makeover Momma of the Month
I’m picking 3 Makeover Mommas of the Month for August, and you could be 1 of them! Just do the following…
* Comment Below: Why do you need a makeover this August?
* Follow Our Sponsors: Study up on the fabulous products you’d receive, and show your support by following their social media accounts to qualify for entry.
The Goods: The Experts Behind Your August Makeover Experience
* The Skin Makeover: Jabot Red Carpet Kit
The red carpet is synonymous with beauty and glamour, and this enormously popular kit from Jabot lives up to the promise. This line of effective skincare products was originally inspired by the soap drama the Young and the Restless, and each ingredient delivers the same dramatic results as the show does plot-lines. This kit reforms the complexions of Hollywood’s elite prior to big appearances, and features three anti-aging breakthroughs: Crushed Diamond Facial Resurfacer, Photo Ready Face Lift and Picture Perfect Eye Lift. And if words like “diamonds” and “lift” aren’t tantalizing enough, Makeover Mommas of the Month will be the only women using these kits before the end of July (the line is completely sold out!)

* The Body Makeover: Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream
Show me a pregnant mother who worries about getting stretch marks during pregnancy, and I can show you a fabulous woman who’s wasting her time. It’s like the bumper sticker once said: stretch marks happen (or something like that) and there is very little that we can do about it. Aside from giving your beautiful children back and reversing the hands of time- which at times is admittedly tempting- these pesky marks come with the territory and are not the end of the world. Still, why do they annoy us so much? Apothederm feels our pain and has created a revolutionary stretch mark cream to gently reduce their appearance, without using harmful, toxic chemicals. Your skin will thank you later…

* The Hair Makeover: Nunaat Hair Treatments
Our hair has a million reasons to hate us: motherhood induced hormones, damaging styling, using the wrong products and moreover. No matter the reason, Nunaat has a line of haircare products that can fix your specific problem and work with your personal hair texture. This luxurious line of hydrating, decadent products works with curly hair, damaged hair and everything in between. In fact, Nunaat is so personalized to your hair personality that they will personally recommend the right treatment for each one of our 3 Makeover Momma of the Month winners. Whether it’s Nunaat’s Treatment Cream to make curls bouncy and nourished, or their super popular Brazilian Kertain line to repair fried strands without using formaldehyde. Even their Silicone products can boost the shine factor in the most neglected of locks. No matter your need, Nunaat has something for you!
* The Hydration Makeover: Activate VitaminWater
Vitamins are not just something your children should be taking… they are important to your hair, your skin, your nails and (most importantly) your health. But most of busy mothers don’t have time to take our vitamins, let alone worry about how much they improve our appearance over time. Thankfully, Activate understands how busy we are, and has created a one-of-a-kind VitaminWater system that preserves the effectiveness of nutrients by storing them in the bottle cap. Unlike typical vitamin waters that are full of sugar, calories, and who’s vitamins break down over time, Activate gives you a fresh blast of vitamins with every sip. On top of that, all of the bottles are made from 100% recycled plastic, and only have about 5 calories per serving despite tasty flavors like Fruit Punch, Lulo Pear and Exotic Berry. More flavor, more vitamins, less calories = perfect!

* The Fitness AND Nutrition Makeover: Makeover Momma Long & Lean Plan
Ok, perhaps I’m a little bit biased, but if you want to slim down and shape up this summer… Long & Lean is the way to go! 3 lucky winners will get full access to the Makeover Momma Long & Lean Eating Plan: giving you complete meal plans, recipes, shopping lists and more. Whether you’re a vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or love drive-thru, there is something for every type of lifestyle. You can alternate between two different plans (one that helps you cook fresh meals at home, and one that lets you eat anywhere on-the-go) with zero stress. Plus, you can dive into the Long & Lean workouts whenever possible- giving you lean muscle tone with zero bulk… pretty cool, right?
Follow: @makeovermomma (use hashtag #longandlean whenever possible) and Makeover Momma
* The Slimming Makeover: Kmart’s SlimFabulous Shapewear
Can your closet be chic, hip, comfortable and still make you look slimmer? Yes, yes it can. Thanks to Kmart’s brand new SlimFabulous clothing line, you can wear vibrant tops and fashionable tanks without worrying about how many crunches you’ve done that morning. Instead of being worn underneath clothes like most shapewear items (which to be honest, can seem like a nightmare on a hot summer day), SlimFabulous has slimming materials built into the clothing itself. You can look a little bit leaner without doing a thing… if only my entire wardrobe could be like that!
Follow: @KMartFashion and Kmart

Get Fit And Win Products With The Long & Lean Toning Plan
Long and lean moms Gisele Bundchen and Jennifer Garner work hard for their figures…
* Product Review of the Month: MAKEOVER MOMMA LONG & LEAN PLAN!!!
Want to lose weight, elongate your muscles and eat better than ever before? I could not be more excited to announce the launch of the Makeover Momma Long & Lean Plan. After working as a certified personal trainer, fitness instructor and dance teacher for years, I’ve finally put together my most popular movements into one, easy-to-use toning routine.
What It Is: The L & L Toning Plan is a completely FREE workout system I’ve put together for my favorite moms. It only takes 18 to 20 minutes at home (4 to 5 days a week). It requires no fancy equipment- aside from a set of light weights- and will give you long, lean muscles like a dancer (instead of bulk). Just read over the printable workouts, watch the videos to learn proper alignment and get started HERE.
What It Is: This is not a diet, and not a complicated eating regimen that requires calorie counting, fat tracking or tons of extra cooking. The L & L Eating Plan was created to give you tons of energy, increased health, and slim, trim muscles with natural protein, less gluten and tons of vitamins. You can cook healthy recipes that your kids will love too (none taking more than 5 minutes) or you can grab healthy snacks for days on the run. You can eat dessert knowing it’s packed with Omega-3’s and vitamins, or have cake for breakfast (yes, Breakfast Cake is on the menu!) Basically, you’ll gain access to the following:
* 2 Eating Plans: Homemade Plan to cook healthy meals for the family, or the On-The-Go Plan for when you’re busy and running around. Mix and match depending on your week!
* Over 50 Pages With Easy-To-Make Recipes: You’ll eat 3 meals, 2 snacks and even dessert.
* Detailed Shopping Lists: Recipes were created to give you the most for your money (so you don’t spend tons on ingredients at the store)
* Gluten-Free, Vegetarian and Vegan Friendly: If you’re not either of the two, you can still follow this plan happily (substitutions given for everyone!)
* Unlimited Access: Automatically gain access to all future updates, new recipes, seasonal meal plans and more.
Click below to buy your L & L eating plan now (only $10 for ALL of that), and gain unlimited support and camaraderie with fellow L & L mommas!
The Giveaway: Long & Lean Bundle
To celebrate the launch of the Long & Lean Health Plan, 3 winners will gain access to the best in healthy living products! All you have to do is pledge to the plan, and you could be one of 3 receiving an amazing bundle of goodies designed to help you on your L & L journey. Here is what you could win:
* Best In Snacks: Soyjoy Pineapple Bars
One of the best parts of the Long & Lean On-The-Go Eating Plan is the excuse to eat Soyjoy snack bars whenever you need something sweet. Even though I’ve always loved Soyjoy bars in general, their new recipes and new flavors are better than ever. They’re soft, chewy and taste great (but don’t have tons of sugar and fake ingredients). Best of all, they’re only 140 calories per bar, which is literally have the caloric content of most protein and health bars on the market. I love noshing on 1/2 a bar before a workout and the other 1/2 after (and pineapple is quickly becoming my favorite!)
Follow: @SOYJOYUS and Soyjoy
* Best In Muscle Relief: The Miracle Ball Method
Even though the Long & Lean Fitness Plan is designed to give you (duh) long and lean muscles, there is no point in kidding yourself: it’s a challenge. Your muscles are going to be sore in the beginning, and you just might feel like quitting. That’s why the Miracle Ball Method is so perfect for easing achy, tired muscles (which is something we become accustomed to as moms in general). So whether the Long & Lean toning moves are to blame (or simply you’re intense toddler), watch this video to see how you can elongate muscles even more post-workout, and sleep sounder at night.
Follow: @ElainePetrone and The Elaine Petrone Method
* Best In Hydration: Zico Coconut Water
Coconut water might be a popular way to hydrate your body after a workout, but they are definitely not all created equal. I’ve tried enough foul, salty tasting coconut waters to know that Zico really is the best around: it’s low in calories so you won’t gain weight, has no added sugar or fat, and is completely natural. Best of all, Zico believes in helping the environment with every tasty sip, so the bottles are made from recycled materials and high in potassium to prevent muscle cramps after exercise. It comes in tons of flavors (Pomberry and Chocolate being my favorite), and has only 60, natural calories to fuel you during your busy day without ruining your healthy intentions. Even my husband (who hates coconut water with a passion) has become a fan. Don’t worry: you’ll become a fan soon too!
Follow: @Zico and Zico Coconut Water

Win 10 Giveaways With Mingle Media Momma TV
My curly headed minions make frequent appearances on the show…
* Breakdown of the Month: TV SHOW EXTRAVAGANZA!
Wish you had more time alone to gab with your girlfriends? What if you could do so every Wednesday night, and win giveaways in the process? I’m so excited to announce the long awaited relaunch of the show-formally-known-as-Makeover-Momma-TV: Mingle Media Momma TV! The show is relaunching with a new day, new time, new co-hosts and amazing new topics. Now you can chat with a different mom expert and professional blogger every Wednesday: gaining new perspective on healthy living, new opinions on mothering, and new ideas on how to approve your life one “baby step” at a time.
Meet The Girls of Mingle Media Momma TV
* Bailey Vincent Clark of Makeover Momma: If you don’t already know me, here is the drill: I’m a homeschooling, work-at-home mother of two girls under the age of 5. I plan on adopting more kids in her future (hopefully), but in the meantime, I try to talk about my child’s special needs, constant quest for health, complicated relationships and budget beauty changes with zero filter.
* Linda Rihani of Baby To Be TV: Linda Rihani (successful host of the popular show Baby To Be TV) is infamous for her personal Vlogs and video of reviews of the best in baby products. Proud mother of two little ones (a boy and a girl), she is an experienced 3D/4D Ultra Sound Technician (so trust me, she knows babies!)
* Lara Dipaola of Chicken Nuggets of Wisdom: Founder of Chicken Nuggets of Wisdom and mother of 4 (spanning from teenage to toddler), Lara is not only an experienced writer and parent, but takes on motherhood with humor. She lives by the Marilyn Monroe quote “it is better to be ridiculous than absolutely boring”… and that’s why I love her!
* Jennifer Gerlock of Hip As I Wanna Be: Even though we love to tease her for being a former beauty queen and running marathons (yes, she really is that cool), Jennifer is best known for her insightful website Hip As I Wanna Be. She documents her beauty, health, business and parenting pursuits (she is the mother of 10 and 12 year old boys!)
* Kristi Bartlett of Creative Kristi: Kristi isn’t just creative because of her amazing crafting abilities and blogging skills, but also because she is a stay-at-home-mom of two (under the age of 3- eek!), and a military wife to boot (she deserves a medal already). Her personal motto is: “When life hands you lemons….. decorate with them!”
The Schedule: Join The Girls Each Wednesday
So when do you tune in to see these fabulous mommas and here their unique opinions? I’m kicking off the show THIS Wednesday (June 8′th) from 8 – 9 PM/EST. The MMMTV Mommas will take turns hosting in this order from here on out:
* Bailey
* Jennifer
* Kristi
* Lara
* Linda
Tune in weekly by clicking this link and watching live. If you want to join in the discussion (I’ll always be there even on the nights I’m not hosting), be sure to set up a quick Stickam account: free and easy! You can also use your Twitter account to chat as well…. whatever floats your metaphoric, technological boat.
10 Chances To Win Giveaways
So how are we kicking off a brand new month of shows? With 10 giveaways! Each host of MMMTV will be giving away a different beauty, fashion or healthy living product on their blog. You can enter all 5 giveaways by commenting on our post this week (so keep an eye out). But guess what? We’re also giving away a second set of everything during our live shows, so every time you watch a MMMTV show this month: you get another chance to win! 10 giveaways overall, 10 chances to win, and 5 fabulous hosts. Pretty good deal, right?
If you want to enter ALL of the giveaways on ALL of our websites, just click the girls names above, keep an eye out and comment when their posts go live.
Win This: Go UnDiet Book ($21 Value)
I hate the word “diet” and hate the concept behind them even more. In my experience, diets do nothing more than cut out essential food groups, warp our perception of healthy eating, disrupt our natural hunger/fullness response, and make us feel worse about our so-called “failures” along the way. Diets are an impermanent, ever changing fixture in our aesthetically obsessed society, and do little more than make us obsess about food, size and weight even more (all the while creating increasingly worsening examples of healthy role models for our children). So how can break the cycle of “good’ and “bad” food? Win this amazing new book from HealthCastle.com founder Gloria Tsang, RD. She gives women 50 easy rules to follow that help them forget ridiculous dieting strategies forever, learn how to read food labels once and for all, and finally look at food as what it is: delicious, nurturing and not the answer to our problems.
* Comment Below: Why are you going to watch the new Mingle Media Momma TV show this Wednesday?
Comment to win. Watch for another chance to win. And don’t miss all of the brand new Mingle Media Momma TV shows this month: every Wednesday from 8 – 9 PM/EST.
