Belly Bandit Review

I bought this product right after I got out of the hospital. The reason why I bought this was because I saw it everywhere. It was in magazines, on tv and I even had coupons for it. So I convinced my self I needed something to shrink my belly. Well, I had a bad feeling about this one even before I bought it. This product is non refundable, but even after I realized that I still got it. Honestly, I regret buying this so much, first of all it was pricey and the quality of this product was not great. Additionally, the main issue I have with this belly band is that once you put on, it does not stay in place and it rolls. I felt even fatter wearing this. The good news is that my belly did shrink with diet and exercise.

Lucky Mama Boxes Review

Has anyone considered buying this box? If you did and you are unsure if you should buy it, maybe I can help you make up your mind? Lucky mama boxes would be good for expecting and breastfeeding mamas. I can honestly say that I was disappointed because in their website, they make seem like you are getting a good assortment of natural products for the  money you pay. However, everything you get are very small samples not deluxe size. My box came with 2 bags of celestial seasonings tea, 1 sample of milk makers lactation cookie, 2 washable bamboobies nursing pads, 1 milk money coupon book , 1 $15    Undercover mama gift certificate, 2 sample breastfeeding bags from simple wishes, 1 sample box of wishgarden breastfeeding aid drops, 1 sample of Motherlove nipple cream and 1 sample of Motherlove diaper rash cream. I paid $25 and I think that quality of the products I got was bad, some coupons in the booklet where expired and so was the gift certificate. The lactation cookie was rock hard! And they only things I actually used and liked were the nursing pads, Breastmilk bags and the lactation aid drops. In conclusion, all girls out there who are expecting or breastfeeding and are thinking of buying this box I can say to you that it is absolutly not worth $25. It was of waste of money. Finally, the only thing I can say really good from the box where nursing pads. No matter how many times I wash them they do not shrink and they stay soft. I hope this helped anyone unsure about buying this box!

Stretch Mark Salve Recipe

This great recipe is a good option to use during pregnancy and post partum. I found this recipe by wellnessmama on her web and I think it is a terrific idea. I know there are a lot of good organic and natural products but I though making your own would be a much healthier option and also you can save some money too. http://wellnessmama.com/8183/diy-salve-for-stretch-marks/. I do recommend that you buy all the ingredients organic.
