Mommy Uniform Revampification - in progress

A new staple in your mommy uniform! Lucky Me Tee creates fashionable yet wearable t-shirts that answer the age old question, “how many kids do you have?”

Whenever I’m alone with my youngest, girl 2006, someone will ask me if she’s my first. People generally assume when they see a lady with a baby alone that it’s their first.  Lucky Me Tee tanks are a conversation starter, but what I really like is the coverage.  

The last thing I want to do is bring attention to my mid section! this tank is nice and long providing perfect coverage at the waist and bust.

Lucky Me Tee has also created long sleeve shirts, totes, hoody sweatshirts (totally fab)  and sweet baby shirts. You know these are going to be H-O-T for mother’s day but what a great gift for a new mom or just a worn-out tired mom that needs a happy lift. 

*If you buy one please send me your pic to put up, I’d love to get a collection of mom’s in Lucky Me Tees!

I’ve been using for a few weeks — Lavilin Deodorant Cream that is.  I’m done buying whatever’s on sale, or what will look pretty on the bathroom sink, I want something that works and is long-lasting.  This is a revolutionary concept, bye bye daily deodorant duty, you only need to apply Lavilin every few days.

Normally I would apply my regular deodorant in the morning and by night it would be totally ineffective. Lavilin claims to last up to 7 days dependent on lifestyle.  My personal experience has been best when I applied the cream at 5 day intervals.  Isn’t that perfect for travel?  Now you don’t have to bring all that deodorant on vacation with you!  Day 5 is when I noticed odor starting, so to be safe I’ve been reapplying on the fifth morning and every-thing’s worked out perfectly. 

I don’t need ANY other deodorant! the nice part is Lavalin is unscented so it does not interfere with any of your other beauty products.  Apply a small amount of Lavalin Deodorant Cream to your freshly washed underarms and carry on about your business. 

There is no residue at all, perfect for summer sleeveless, strapless wear.    NO parabens, phthalates, aluminum or alcohol. So what is in it?  Essential oils from Chamomile, Arnica and Calendula work with your body to eliminate bacteria. It is in fact bacteria that causes odor, not sweat, eliminating bacteria is vital.  I’ve heard some natural deodorants can leave you wet and sticky but I felt no wetness while using Lavilin.  It is also water resistant so it’s perfect for summer water sports, give it a try some time soon.  With airlines charging for baggage, it’s a great way to minimize your beauty baggie on short trips.

Welcome Aboard the first in a series of Summer Air Travel posts all about my thoughts on air travel.  The first in the series is about the hot topic of the fees for checking a bag.  The New York Post reported that American Airlines is now charging $15 for the FIRST checked bag.  Other airlines are charging $25 for the second checked bag and don’t you dare try to overstuff your first, they will charge you if you go over the weight limit.

All this means that you will have to pack wisely and carry-on yourself.  For you beauty-holics it’s the perfect time to splurge on a chic carry-on bag to house it all.  Here is my favorite, the Boxford from Longchamp pays for itself in 20 trips ($15 x 20).   If you booked your travel well in advance of these fees and charges, it’s worth trying to get your money back.  If not,  is the flying public going to be responsible for all their increases and fees as they occur?
