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?

How To Live a Gluten Free Lifestyle
* Makeover Momma TV Recap of the Week:
What would you think if you had to eat gluten-free for the rest of your life? This episode of Makeover Momma TV was all about living, cooking and eating when you live in a gluten-free world (and the many ways it can benefit your life and health). Watch on!

Top Products of the Week
I love going to New York Fashion Week each season (to report for Makeover Momma), but it can create a lot of stress. Between the frenzied pace, high fashion personas and late nights out, it can make any girl feel less than her best (especially when that girl is a full-time, stressed out, far-from-glamorous mom!) Even if you’re not primping and prepping for fashion like moi (that’s couture for “me”), you might be anticipating a special event like a wedding, girls night out or anniversary dinner.
No matter the reason, season or occasion, these products will have you looking (and photographing) at your very best….
* FusionBeauty PrimeResults Primers: I like to treat my skin like a toddler: it can be cute and enjoyable on a good day, but nothing makes it more difficult than late nights and inconsistent schedules. Even though I’ve tried my fair share of skin perfecting primers in the past, I always end up ditching them after a few uses because they make my complexion dry or cast a weird tone. These FusionBeauty primers helped tone down redness and kept my T-zone free from oil, but left my skin looking pristine in photos, instead of splotchy and greige (yes, greige can be a word).
* Go Smile Pre-Whitening Gel: Do you hate wasting your precious money on drugstore whitening treatments, only to see very little results? The new Go Smile Pre-Whitening treatment was created to “prep” your teeth for whitening (much like the primers above prep your complexion for makeup), and end up doubling the whitening results in the process. Pretty good way to multitask, right?
* Speak Up: What is YOUR favorite product to help you feel glamorous before a big event?

If You Need To Choose A Resolution, Choose Yourself
* Makeover Momma TV Recap of the Week:
How can you get your entire family fit in 2011? Even if no one in your clan has a problem with their weight, finding ways to stay active and have fun is extremely important throughout life. This week’s Makeover Momma TV episode focused on simple ways to exercise more, balance your diet and stop getting sucked in to the celebrity “skinny” trend.

Product of the Week: Your Best Face Skincare
If there is one thing I love in life, it’s trying products before they’ve even hit shelves. Your Best Face has been one of my favorite brands for awhile, but they’re latest launches (Antioxidants Concentrate, Balance and Hydrate B) are designed to give you more for your money. Here is a sneak peek at what makes them so cool:
*Â Balance: If I could start using any new product these days it would be this one. It helps calm irritated skin, decrease excess oil and give the appearance of a silky smooth, matte complexion. Best of all, it can be used by itself or layered with other products (it’s friends with everyone).
* Antioxidants Concentrate: Everyone knows their face needs antioxidants (or so say the professionals), but they can be a pain in the pomegranate to find. This product can be mixed with anything you use: it’s like a fabulous cocktail that enhances your favorite sunscreens and serums with antioxidants (giving better, faster results).
* Hydrate B Concentrate: Hydrate B is the like the perfect “wingman” for your face. It can be used in congruence with all other potent serums to make your standard products more effective, boost the benefits of anti-aging potions and support your skin overall.
Exclusive Giveaway: American Cancer Society “Fit Kit”
So many of us have been touched by cancer in our lives, and will never be the same. Luckily you can fight back by joining the American Cancer Society in their “New Year, Choose You” movement (part of their successful “Choose You” campaign). They’re encouraging women worldwide to pledge a new healthy habit going into 2011 (after all, every healthy step we take forward is one step farther away from cancer). And even though I gave away a “fit kit” on Makeover Momma TV last night, you can still score one today. Here’s how….
* Go to the Choose You website and quickly pledge what healthy action you choose to do this year.
* Comment below letting me know your idea.
That’s it! Pledge to be healthier and better than ever this year, and hopefully we can all fight cancer together in the future.
Makeover Momma TV “TV Show”: Makeover Your Life In The New Year
Wish Carson Kresley lived in your closet? Oprah Winfrey was on your speed dial? George Clooney was your husband? The New Year can be filled with a great many wishes and resolutions, but being a mother can change our focus and goals entirely throughout the years. This latest episode of the MMTV TV Show is all about setting realistic goals for ourselves, and creating a fresh start for January.
* Speak Up: What is YOUR New Year’s resolution this year?
