Awesome foundation=dewy skin

2009-10-22T09:34:00.000-07:00

Ready for me to tell you about the most awesome foundation in the history of ever? It's Laura Mercier's Illuminating Tinted foundation. I've tried about 842 foundations, and I'm not gonna get into a big foundation bashing party, because chances are you've also tried them, and you already know...

So, getting straight to Ms. Mercier's genius product-it has amazing coverage (no kidding-sun damage, age spots, other unpleasantries, disappear), it feels like a light moisturizer (which is remarkable considering the coverage), has sunscreen (SPF 20, yay Laura), and the best part...it has just enough shimmer to make your skin look dewy for hours, and when was the last time that happened? If you're like me, I'm pretty sure it was high school, or immediately upon exiting a steam room.

It comes in four colors: bare radiance, natural radiance, warm radiance and golden radiance, and will make you gorgeous for $42 plus tax. I wear it every day, and 1.7 fl. oz. lasts about 4 months-a little goes a long way...

So go get your radiant beauty on, girls. If you need it today, Nordstroms, Bloomingdales, and Sephora will hook you up. If you don't have time for mall drama, you can work it out right here at the source:

College bound?

2009-08-25T19:48:00.000-07:00

I was driving back to Atlanta from Myrtle Beach on Sunday, and I got behind the car we all hate. The one that not only drives slowly in the left lane, but makes it impossible for you to pass because, through an osmosis only dumb people share, they’ve perfectly timed their poor driving shenanigans with your buddy, the car in the right lane that’s also blocking you. You know these people, and you hate them as much as I do, so don’t go judging me judging.

When I was finally able to pass this one, here’s what looked over at me: giant Mary Kate glasses (that should have been consigned or donated in 2007), framed by a cotton candyish puff of blonde hair, complete with the orange glow of a bad spray tan, and the added touch of gum smacking.

It was clear to me she was on her way back to a college campus of some sort, and while part of me harshly judged, as I’ve nicely outlined here, the mom in me thought, she’s just a kid, don’t be so mean. But I think there’s something we all know here.

This girl can’t learn.

Those Golden Arches...

2009-07-07T19:46:00.000-07:00

So we ate at McDonalds, because sometimes I can't be bothered with vegetables and healthy choices. When the meal was over, we made our way to the play area, which as you know, is a conglomerate of giant hamster-cage-like mazey tunnels overhead with the benefit of slides that serve as escape chutes. There are also other nooks and crannies with other puzzlish things to do, which, honestly, are pretty cool. So yay McDonalds for providing a fun, physically active place for kids to jump around with each other, scream and sweat, right? Old school.

But this time? We crossed the threshold into the play area, and my eyes were drawn to a glow. Since our last visit, a video game station has been added to the play area. So, where children were once running and jumping, they are now standing in line. And so are we. Awesome. It's finally Anna's turn, she takes the joystick in hand, and starts pressing buttons. Nothing happens. She looks up at me with that Mommy-will-know-how-to do-it look, and that’s my cue. I bow up and step in all cool like-I’ve played video games, I totally got this.

Here’s the thing: it’s not Galaga, or Ms. PacMan, or any other game from the 80’s, and I quickly realize I don’t got this. But, in that it’s the play area at McDonalds, and they are expecting a competency level that encompasses children from 2-11 years old, surely the games are fairly intuitive.

I start fooling around with the joystick and pressing buttons. I get it to start, I choose a level, I can see that it has now begun, I’m feeling encouraged (okay arrogant), but the object of the game eludes me completely. There’s a tree in the middle of the screen and creatures. I’m grateful there’s no boobs, blood or sex, but what IS this? Unrelenting, I continue to hammer away at the buttons, and rattle the joystick hoping that something will start to make sense. Nothing. As a back-up plan, I frantically look for instructions, which surely should be printed somewhere on the console, if not for the children, at least for the parents who find themselves in the predicament that I’m currently in. Nuh. Thing.

Defeated, I look back at the game, and then at Anna. Just as I’m about to crumble into some lame honey-Mommy-doesn’t-know-how-to-play-the-game-and-there-are-no-instructions-but-I’ll-go-ask-the-manager speech, she gives me an expressionless glance, and without a word, swishes away in her velvet dress.

I knew this day would come. The day when every girl decides her mother is a complete idiot. Here’s the rub, that shit's not supposed to happen until they’re like, twelve, or something. But thanks to good ole Mickey Ds, I came tumbling off the my-mommmy-knows-everything pedestal eight years early. In spite of feeling like a complete moron for the first time since, okay truthfully this morning, but that’s another story, I was just happy that she was heading back over in the “real” play area, to run and jump around, and get some exercise (things I understand). But a mother fallen is a mother fallen-without missing a beat, and in an instinctively desperate attempt to regain my maternal presence as all-omniscient-one, I heard myself shout after her, “be careful up there, and remember to leave your socks on!”

Thanks, Ronald McDoosh. I’m so not lovin’ it.

bathroom fun...sure, why not?

2009-07-06T19:53:00.000-07:00

My crazy doctor decided my random weight loss a few months back (it was 10 pounds, let us not trip) coupled with constipation (reason for my visit-you know I didn't go seeking medical attention for unexplained weight loss) could be, ready? Intestinal parasites. First thought: is this the part where I vomit on your shoes? Second thought: if that's what's keeping me in my skinny jeans, we're leaving the parasites where they are. Third thought: I'm pretty sure Hollywood would warmly welcome these little weight-loss buddies...

Naturally, my doctor was more sober about it, and concerned about organ function, took roughly five gallons of blood to run every test in the free world. For added measure, she wanted a poop test. Thinking it would be the same kind we witness in the vet's office (easy in, with the little plastic knitting needle-ish thingy, and out in three seconds tops), I agreed. Little did I know her intention was to send me home with my very own fecal science fair project kit, wherein I, alone, would be responsible for collecting three specimens of my own poop, and sending it off to a lab in Texas. Um, isn't there some way I can be hospitalized for three days and have someone else handle this please? No...So I reminded her of the reason for my visit, and told her not to be expecting my lab results until after Thanksgiving.

Then fiiiiiinally appearing to have come to her senses, she recommended a hydro-therapy treatment. Thoughts of a trip to the spa, paid for by my insurance immediately lightened my mood. But wait. Hydro-therapy is the new word for colonic, which is basically a fancy way of saying you will have a garden hose shoved up your ass, they will turn the water on until you hope you die, or at least lose consciousness, then suck it out, and then repeat. For FORTY-FIVE of the longest minutes of your life. After that experience? I'm sinning all I want-the fiery pits of hell will be dreamy by comparison.

Oh, and? Insurance doesn't cover it.

BUT, in all of this drama, came two very good things: a) I learned I have no parasites (although I intend to learn more about being a parasite distributor-I'm thinking multi-level marketing shenanigans and a private jet) and b) the hydro-therapy torture gal (I mean really? who wants that job?) led me to the fiber capsules and magnesium supplement that have regulated the situation that started this whole freak show, and who doesn't want that? Ta da.

Don't do that...

2009-07-01T06:50:00.000-07:00

Our order accuracy is around 99%. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago, we made a mistake. Here's the e-mail we got from our friend in Morrisville, NC:

"I ordered a tee shirt for my husband at my 5 kids request.It was supposed to be a Father's Day present.I ordered it on the 16th-we knew that it would not be here on Father's Day,so finally it comes today and we are all shocked when it is the WRONG SIZE!!!!!!We ordered a Large.You sent an XL.We are very unhappy!!!!!!I want the money back that we spent on this joke.We cannot use this shirt-it is enormous!We want a full refund."

Uh, if this is the tailspin your life collapses into when receiving a wrong size, you should probably stay off the internet.

Naturally, we apologized and sent the right size immediately, because that's who we are. But really, lady? Dramatic misery is so not pretty-don't do that.

Popcorn and tears...

2009-05-29T06:28:00.000-07:00

I took Anna to see the Hannah Montana movie last night. I know. Don't even get me started. But here's something even more alarming: not only did I eat seven pounds of popcorn, I also got teary-eyed not once, but twice, while Miss Miley was singing. This can only mean one thing...

Dear Period,
If you could go ahead and start please, that would be awesome.
Love,
Princess fat-ass-weepy-pants

Again with the personal tidbit, cuz it's my life, and my blog, and I'll write what I want to...This girl's link I'm about to post? Fully unloads on the immature and inconsiderate, and how can you not heart her for that? As funny as she is, it's actually really helpful for those people who need to grow up (read: don't know about minding their body space, writing thank-you notes, universal quiet hours, or that being Barbie dumb is not charming).

Now, if you're on my blog, clearly YOU don't need this information because you've already grown up, or you're getting close enough, and I'm pretty sure you're awesome. BUT, (finger stabbed into air for emphasis), you can read it and brag relentlessly about your perfect score, (which is what I'm doing), and/or, send it to that few (or scads of) people you know who do in fact need this information, and should employ it sooner than immediately. Just sayin...

Barbie's dogs pee?

2009-05-27T16:36:00.000-07:00

Here's a personal tidbit...I bought Anna a new Barbie at Target-she comes with a small collection of dogs. Fabulous, no? After we got home, I realized this: Barbie fills them with water, they pee on their puppy papers, and she cleans it up. Really, Mattel? What other depressing scenarios might we look forward to? Umemployment Barbie? Maybe Hospice Barbie?...Barbie=Malibu dream house, awesome wardrobe, ignoring stop signs in her convertible. The end.

Keeping Mom and Baby Safe at The Spa

2009-01-09T10:44:00.000-08:00

Let’s face it-creating life is hard work! With all of the uncomfortable changes your body goes through, a little pampering at the spa can be a great pick me up. But before you go, beware. There are some specific concerns that an expecting Mom would have that others would not. Here are some tips to help make sure your trip to the spa is a safe one for you and your baby:

1) Keep cool: Maternal temperature above 102 degrees can affect the brain development of the fetus. Stay away from hot saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools and body wraps.

2) Light touch: Make sure your massage therapist is trained in prenatal care and uses pressure that is lighter than usual, especially around the abdominal area.

3) Turn over: Never lie flat on your back after the 18th week of pregnancy. Any good massage therapist will know that you should be on your left side, propped up with a pillow with another pillow between your legs. A chair massage will also do the trick.
Keeping these tips in mind will help protect you and your baby during your next trip to the spa.

More praise for MollyAnna Stroller Bags!

2008-08-06T06:52:00.000-07:00

So recently I was all on about the Skip Hop Diaper Bags. Skip Hop makes, among many others, canvas messenger diaper bags that clip to your stroller and are awesome. I have one. I got it for Christmas. Thank you again, honey.
Skip Hop also makes different bags. Neat bags. Trendy bags. Even bags for Target. Check them out.
Recently, thanks to a fantabulous blog giveaway (I’m telling you people, these blog giveaways are awesome!) at The Lil’ Mommy That Could, I won a stroller bag by Mollyanna.com and it arrived in the mail. It was like Christmas in July. And let me say, this bag is awesome too.
Where the Skip Hop Bag is canvas and cool, this one is fabric and gorgeous. So simple. So chic. Where the Skip Hop Bag takes you back to the first day of school with zippers and clips and keychain holders and many many pockets (totally fun, right?), the Mollyanna bag has just two simple snap closures, two pockets for diapers and wipes, and a big central pocket. Mine is “Dark Chocolate” with a gorgeous autumny contrasting fabric liner. It is beautifully made and I love it.
And best of all, these are on crazy sale right now. Like, way better than Target prices sale. Hey, it’s back to school time! Don’t you deserve a new bag too? And at these prices, lust is within reach. Sometimes baby’s gotta have it.

Monday Mom (to be) Must Have

2008-02-14T13:43:00.000-08:00

I've never been a huge fan of "message" tees. Even when they were cool like two or so years ago, I always thought they were lame - especially when worn by annoying celebrities like Paris Hilton and the like, with messages like "I stole your boyfriend" or "Mrs. Timberlake". Barf.Of course, maternitywear has its fair share of message tees, many of which are equally lame (who can forget Britney Spears, pregnant with first son Sean Preston, showing up at the premiere of the remake of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" sporting an "I have the golden ticket" tee, complete with arrow pointing to her belly?). I find most of them pretty contrived - especially the "obvious" ones that say corny things like "sexy mama". Ohhh - I get it! You're sexy - AND about to be a mama! How CLEVER!As with anything, however, there are exceptions. Occasionally, maternity tees do pop up that are downright funny - not to mention authentically clever. My favorites are the ones from Molly Anna, many of which are made from organic cotton. Here are a few I find quite cute:
The "Epidural? Yes please." tee, $38. Underneath those words it says "instructions on back" in parentheses, and on the back of the tee, there's a bull's eye. I can seriously relate to this one.
The "Now Hiring" tee, $38. Start looking for some help ASAP, pregnant sisters (you're gonna thank me for that piece of advice later. ...).Though I tend to prefer my maternity message tees to be a little less literal (read: not screamingly baby or pregnancy-related), this "It's a boy, or a girl" one, $36, makes me laugh because it's designed to put an end to what I find to be one of the most annoying questions random people ask pregnant ladies: "Do you know what you're having?". Regardless of the answer, is it really any of your f-ing beeswax, lady in the CVS checkout line? I didn't think so. Don't even get me started on people who take it upon themselves to make predictions on the gender based on how you're "carrying".....
All of these cool shirts are available at www.mollyanna.com. I think they'd make a really cool shower gift. In addition to a night nurse or a Bugaboo, of course.

Going... Going... Green! MollyAnna launches 100% organic cotton pregnancy line

2007-07-11T15:32:00.000-07:00

Yes, we're going green and just launched our new 100% organic supima cotton line! Our new maternity tees are bold, sassy and luxuriously soft, and you can feel good knowing the earth wasn't harmed in the process.

Modeled by our contest winner Mary Hadley, the tees come in a variety of bold and muted shades and six cool new slogans. We know you'll love them! What's not to love about funky tees that make you feel all cozy and - bonus - are "green" and compostable? Hopefully, you'll recycle them through several pregnancies and get the word out to other moms-to-be.

Organic cotton is as durable as regular cotton but incredibly soft, grown without genetically modified seed on land which was not subjected to synthetic pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, fertilizers or other harsh chemicals for at least 3 years. Linen/flax, hemp, wool and cotton can all be grown organically, and organic textile fibers can be easily composted.

Some of our most popular slogans, such as "Birth Control is for Sissies", "I can grow people", "Body by Baby" and others are also changing to organic cotton, and in fact, we plan to transition our line to 100% organic sources. We feel good about that, and we hope you do too.

Coming soon, 100% organic baby clothes!

And don't forget, $1 of every tee sold on the site goes to CARE to help fight the root causes of world poverty. So check it out and let us know what you think!

2007-04-09T10:37:00.000-07:00

Once in a while, we receive feedback from customers who want to share something out of the ordinary in regards to their pregnancy, lifestyle... or even just to give us the "thumbs up" about a MollyAnna shirt they enjoyed.

Today, we would like to share Deborah's comments, who first contacted us in regards to our ongoing model search. Deborah is not participating in the search, but she had this to say:

Dear Folks at MollyAnna,

No... I'm not entering your contest as I'm an old Momma. I'm 40! I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed my "Birth Control is for Sissies" shirt. I had my baby months ago, but I still wear it! It is *the* most comfortable maternity shirt I own. Not to mention all of the compliments and laughs it has brought.

Your clothing's the best and I recommend it to my friends every chance I get.

Here's a photo of me in my beloved MollyAnna shirt. Proud, pregnant and 40 yrs old! :)

Thanks Deborah! That belly looks great... especially in that shirt! :)

We love to get feedback from our customers. If you have a funny or interesting story you'd like to share about your favorite MollyAnna shirt or slogan, let us know by writing to mollyannablog@gmail.com

Pregnancy Style: Designer Jewelry by Renee McCartney

2007-03-15T18:54:00.000-07:00

MollyAnna Maternity has partnered with Renee McCartney, a cutting-edge jewelry designer, to bring every sassy preggo out there the perfect jewelry designs to accent that growing belly

While living in Los Angeles several years ago, Renee decided to share her talents with the world, and the response has been incredible. Renee’s maternity wear accessories and other jeweled creations have been seen on numerous red carpet events such as the Golden Globes and Emmys.

She has also designed maternity wear accessories for the ladies of Entertainment Tonight, 8 Simple Rules, and Girls Behaving Badly.

Just like any every day outfit, maternity wear needs to be spiced up with the right accessories. Jewelry by Renee McCartney has the perfect blend of classic and eclectic style to fit everyone’s tastes.

Renee believes the right accessory can make a personal statement about the person wearing it, so every design has meaning and is constructed with quality, semi-precious stones.

Each piece is one of a kind and is available on our website.

From Burp Catchers to Nursing Bracelets

2007-03-13T18:27:00.000-07:00

We all love to shop for cute baby things, but this cool new gear is well designed and practical too. Here's a few smart ideas for new moms or moms-to-be:

Burpcatcher - the burp cloth that works

Yes, we've had burp cloths for years and that's nothing new. But this company offers a nifty twist on old trusty: it's got a pocket to catch the mess and keep you clean.

This award-winning product is made of soft fleece or flannel, is of course washable and has no hard parts or hardware. A useful idea with simple design, brought to you by a mother of three. This "baby" will keep the back of your shirt (or floor) free of goo.

Burpcatcher is available on the company's website at www.burpcatcher.com for only $9.99

Milkbands Nursing Bracelet

These cool and funky looking bracelets help keep track of which side you nursed from, what time and for how long. Simply flip it inside out and use the tracking features to record single feeding sessions to the nearest 5 minute increment, record multiple feeding sessions over a full day, record the number of soiled diapers, etc. A very useful and attractive tool to keep you from getting engorged.

Available in 5 pretty colors on the company's website at www.milkbands.com for only $5.95

Car seats, people... use them! Madonna does... not

2007-03-08T10:28:00.000-08:00

Do you remember a childhood without car seats or seat buckles?

If you grew up in the 70s or before, you'll probably have flashbacks of sitting on your mom's lap in the front seat... maybe while she was driving!

It was a different time when children floated willy nilly all over the back seat, knocking heads with each other and rolling to the floor when dad hit the breaks a little too hard. Ah... those were the days.

We thankfully know better now... or do we?

Touching my belly... $5

2007-03-07T12:58:00.000-08:00

Whether you are an experienced expecting mom, or on your very first pregnancy, you will undoubtedly run into people who will:

Offer unwanted pregnancy advice
Reach out and feel your belly without asking
Talk about you as if you're not there ("OH-MY-GOD, just LOOK at the size of that belly!", among other things)
Try to force-feed you, or worse, knock food/drink out of your hands just as you are about to put it in your mouth

The list goes on.

Eventually, some of these folks learn that invading a pregnant woman's space can lead to 1) strong language 2) violence and 3) scary scenes.

Oh, and it's also terribly, terribly dumb. I mean... what were you thinking?!!

Even the most self-contained preggo mom has to contend with hormones, and sensitive triggers can range from her mother-in-law giving her a funny look, to a complete stranger deciding she has the right to poke and paw at preggo's bump whenever she feels like it.

On the bright side, there's probably money to be made. How about charging an admission fee for touching your belly or having to sit through unwanted pregnancy advice? $5 a pop sounds like a fair trade. And at least, it will stop the cheap ones!

And how about those unending questions that make you feel like you've got an audio loop stuck on repeat in your head: Is it a boy, or a girl? Is it a girl, or a boy? A good answer might be "It's not mine", or "It's a Boy, or a Girl".

Stop them in their tracks before they get there! If you're at your wit's end with all that nonsense and are ready to laugh at yourself (and them too), there's a slogan to fit your mood and your frame of mind.

You can browse our designs by slogan, and then view the styles and colors available for a particular one.

Don't forget, though all the high and low points of pregnancy, your sense of humor will keep you even-keeled. We hope we can at least help a little on that front.

MollyAnna, Bold. Sassy. Preggo
