Just What MOMS TO BE Need

This is a sponsored post for Belly Love, we received spa services as compensation. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

I wish this place had been around when I was pregnant.  Belly Love is a Spa that offers services catered towards pregnant women in a relaxed and exquisitely designed atmosphere. You can make a full day out of it since their services include full body massages, facials, pedicures, manicures, waxing and 3D/4D ULTRASOUNDS!  
When I was pregnant, I longed for a massage, but never got one. I didn’t know anyone trained specifically in this area.  The therapists at this spa are certified so they know exactly what they can and cannot do. Therefore you can be at ease knowing you and your baby are in good hands.

The 3D/4D ultrasound room is set up so you can bring up to 15 of your closest friends or relatives to share the amazing and memorable experience of seeing your baby for the first time. It is done in a very professional manner. The technicians are certified.  The baby’s heart beat is recorded into a red heart shaped device that is inserted into a stuffed animal.  How cute is that! The 4D Ultrasound allows you to see your baby in action.

The staff at Belly Love Spa understands how vulnerable we can be when pregnant and are trained to cater to our individual and specific needs. They are caring, nurturing, and considerate.
Belly Love has thought of every single detail.  As you walk in, you will realize the spa’s laid out is shaped like a big belly. 
White comfortable robs and slippers await you when you come in, along with a decaf tea and coffee bar.

Another concern pregnant moms have is the chemicals found in nail polish, but at Belly Spa they use Zoya products, which are toxin free.  Isn't this amazing?  You can choose from aromatherapy or hot stone manicure or pedicure.  The entire place and its professionalism blew me away.

So far, I’ve mentioned pregnant moms only, but Belly Love is a spa for everyone, not only moms to be.  You can share your spa day with your mom, sisters, friends or husband. I was fortunate to be invited by the Belly Love to experience a few of their spa services first hand and loved them all!  Silvia was my therapist for the day and she was absolutely amazing, she loves her job and with her caring demeanor makes you feel queen for a day.  I badly needed to decompress and was able to enjoy a massage, manicure and hot stone pedicure. By the time I left, I was ready to conquer the world.

Belly sculpting if also offered. You can have a replica of your belly!  Something fun to have at your baby shower.

They also offer a cute name point system: Storkcredit:

Earn $25 Storkredit for every $50 you spend at Belly Love Spa: 

For every $50 you spend on services or products at Belly Love Spa  (before tax and shipping and after any discounts) you'll earn $25 Storkredit.  Storkredit can not be earned or redeemed for the purchase of gift certificates.

I encourage you to visit their website and take a look at all the different services and packages they offer. There is something for everyone.  Then make your appointment for a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

Ease, Comfort and Safety as Always with Britax

We are a BRITAX Latina Advisory Board Member and Blogger and are excited to spread the word on child safety via Britax amazing products.All opinions, ideas, and stories are our own
The Britax Hispanic Digital and Social Media Outreach is in partnership with Mami Innovative Media

Great news for all who have little ones riding in their cars:



Pinnacle 90



Frontier 90

Britax has introduced two innovative car seats. The Frontier 90 and the Pinnacle 90.
Here is why it is such great news - I remember the days when my son’s grandparents did not have a car seat. It was a real hassle every time we had to switch the seat from one car to the other. Living in South Florida, it was no fun having to do this in the scorching heat. I had to get myself inside the car, put my knee against the back of the seat and pull the strap as hard as I could several times until it was tight. By the time I was done, I was soaked and aggravated. This was done two, three, maybe even four times a week. I dreaded each time I had to switch the car seat.  Needles to say this was not a Britax car seat.  I finally gave in and bought and additional car seat for grandpa and grandma’s car. Thanks to Britax there is no need to go through the hassle and it can now be done with minimal effort.
 
Both of the new seats, the Frontier 90 and Pinnacle 90 feature the new ClickTight Installation System, which makes car seat installation a breeze in only three easy steps. It is a secure system that enables you to use the car’s seat belt to achieve a safe and secure installation throughout the life of the seat, in harness mode, regardless of the child’s weight.

Both seats feature Britax Safety Technologies and have superior head safety protection. The SafeCell Technology compresses and lowers the center of gravity and reduces forward head movement, steel bars that enforces the seat’s connection to the car, reducing forward flexing, and energy absorbing Versa-Tether, which is designed to slow forward movement.  The Frontier 90 and Pinnacle 90 offer True Side Impact Protection, which provides an extra layer of EPP foam to contain a child’s head, neck and body and keep the child’s head aligned in the event of an accident.

Additionally, the Pinnacle 90 also features energy managing Side Impact Cushion Technology, which diverts crash forces away from a child and provides extra protection to the adjacent passenger.

As you can see, Britax offers amazing safety features, and as important as that is, it doesn’t stop there because the company thinks of the little passengers as well as about their care takers.  We say this in particular thinking of the  ease of use, which makes them even more enticing. 
Another great feature is the EZ Buckle system of these car seats that holds the buckle forward so you won’t have to lift your child’s legs up to find it. The harness is tangle free, front adjust recline, cup holders, storage, several buckle positions, fixed armrests, comfort foam and the cover can be easily removed.

These two top of the line car seats offer safety, comfort, and ease of use.  The frustration that goes along with having to install the car seat is a thing of the past.  Thanks Britax! 

How about discovering all this first hand with your very own?  We have a giveaway for you to have a chance to win a Frontier 90 car seat.
To enter the giveaway, please tell us what feature you appreciate the most of this fabulous car seat, and a way to reach you if you win.

Barbie, Colors and Water: Loads of Fun!

We have a water baby! Hours if water fun and adventures abound around here, and with summer here we are sure to extend the number of those hours!!
Our water baby is all about princesses and little mermaids.  Dressing up dolls and creating all sorts of amazing adventures with her dolls makes her the happiest, and we love watching her enjoy herself so much.  We do join in for wonderful playtime.

As much as she loves water play, it is difficult parting from her dolls when we need to take a bath or enjoy the pool.  Now, she won't have too! Our princess and her imagination will not need to part with her Barbie doll when she enjoys the pool, bath tub or sea!

Our latest Barbie discovery is a perfect match for us.  We are talking about the Barbie Color Magic Mermaid doll.  This particular Barbie mermaid will enhance the water fun because when in water magically she changes color from head to tail!
There are different colors her tail will change into when she is wet but you never know what color will be next. We have made this into a guessing game as well as a lesson to learn about color for the youngest princess. If you want to show the kids what a scientist you are, try different water temperatures. This is really what makes colors vary.

With a little bit of water this Barbie Color Magic Mermaid gets her hair color to change into three colors:pink, purple and blue. Brushing Barbie's hair is so much fun.  Watching her amusement at the color transformation is priceless. 

Our little darling's new best friend comes with

• hairbrush
• tiara and necklace
• and a new friend: a squirt toy Seahorse who adds on to all the water fun!!

We are very excited to share this Barbie find with you.  We have of Barbie Color Magic Mermaid for one of you to win!
To enter tell us what stands out of this Barbie for you.

Call Your Family to a Beautiful Corelle Table

This is a post sponsored by Corelle in exchange for our honest opinions.  All expressed here is our own.

Corelle is an amazing American brand (made in USA) of a long standing tradition in our homes.  Most of us grew up with some vintage pattern that brings us back to wonderful memories when we see them.  Corelle belongs to the same company that brings us renowned brands such as Chicago Cutlery, Pyrex, Baker's Secret and Snapware.

Today as a mom, in my daily routine, there is nothing I love most than being able to offer my family a meal prepared with love and served in a way that makes them feel special.  The new Boutique Corelle collection does that for me.  With their beautiful patterns, any table will effortlessly look as if you brought out the expensive stuff to spoil and treat those at your table.  Better yet, it gives you the liberty to express yourself mixing and matching with other colorful pieces.  The Boutique Collections is available in round (Swept) or square (Cherish) plates.

Besides love at first sight, and a perfect way to deliver a sensory experience to those enjoying your meal,  the new collection brings with it all what is Corelle:

• made out of exclusive Vitrelle for a 3 layer glass
• break and chip resistant
• scratch and stain resistant
• dishwasher, microwave and oven safe (use them with no limit!)
• backed by a 3 year limited warranty
• easy to clean and lightweight
• is a space saver compared to regular ceramic dishes and bowls
• plus a great inspiration for amazing décor, look at the beautiful arrangement using mugs as a vase 

Their sets are composed of 4 dinner plates, 4 bowls, 4 dessert plates and 4 mugs.  Don't worry about serving pieces not matching perfectly, as we said, you can add in flare with those.  If you must have the entire set match perfectly, not to worry anyway as The Boutique by Corelle collection has available your serving pieces. 

Another piece of good news is that if you need additional plates or bowls you can purchase them separately.

We didn't know but May is National Wedding Registry Month.  To celebrate it Corelle has a fabulous  giveaway where the grand prize winner gets Corelle to pay for  his or her entire entire registry!  That will put any wedding gift list over the top!!!  For more details on this amazing giveaway, visit   Corelle’s Facebook page.

If you are not working on a wedding registry, we still have something for you.  Come on, make your table look elegant and sophisticated effortlessly everyday, not only on special occasions,  win your own set of the new Boutique collection entering our giveaway.  To enter please tell us if you use Corelle or not ( if you don't, don't worry this wont hinder your chances)

Free Movie Event this Week in South Florida #popupmovie

This post is a compensated one as part of a PopChips and BloggingMammas campaign
All opinions expressed are our own

This Friday we have been invited to a great movie experience for the launch of the new Katy Perry kettle corn popchips, sweet and salty corn chips that are popping up at most Target stores.
What really has us curious about this new product is how very Katy they are from the flavor twist, the packaging, plus the fact that these are naturally popped corn chips with less than half the fat of fried chips.

What has us looking forward to the event is that while Summer is truly upon us in South Florida, we can still enjoy the outdoors without baking.   We will be viewing the movie at an open air theater!
The movie  we will be viewing is Hotel for Dogs at the "Screen on the Green" in West Palm Beach. 
Join us if you can,  all the details for the movie watching are on the link above, and it is free as well as parking. (109 N Clematis St, West Palm Beach, 33401)

Just in case you can't make it, there is another event going on tomorrow 5/8 @ 8pm to view Wreck It Ralph (free) at The Shops at Midtown( 3401 N. Miami Avenue #132 Miami, FL 33127)

Yes, we are ready the movie experience paired to the discovery of the soooo Katy Perry chips promise to be a great evening!
