Dermstore Rewards and some other nifty discounts

It use to be that every quarter my work gave us Dermstore rewards where we could order product and get 50% off.

Just yesterday they changed it to anytime we want! So now I get a 50% discount on every thing dermstore.com has to offer, amazing! And of course I can hook a sister up if need be. Cousin Lisa your order will be made shortly.

Also, have you mommies heard of this website diapers.com? They sell EVERYTHING baby related but at least 10% cheaper than any store, plus they offer free shipping and NO sales tax, even if you live in the pathetic state of CALIFORNIA!

My favorite service they have to offer you ask...Next day diaper delivery directly to your house! You discover that at 2am you have two diapers left, just hop online order the dipes (at a 10% discount) and get them delivered (for free) in the afternoon. Pretty amazing :) Anyway this is probably old news to most mommies reading this but, I just wanted to share just in case ;)

Happy discount shopping!

Ps, those of you that are afraid I will lose my dermstore discount once I change careers, never fear my beautyaholic friends are here and they will hook a sister up in exchange for visiting rights to Baby Christensen.

Love Month Day 1

It's a smitten mitten...and they are so cute and perfect for holding hands in the winter time with your love or your child.

You can buy it here: SMITTEN MITTEN

What are you getting your valentine?

Update

Brian, a co-worker of mine, ordered the smitten mitten for his girlfriend (but he doesn't like that title so he calls her friend) and she LOVED it! I asked Brian to demonstrate the smitten mitten, hence the pic above.

Pregnant Mama's Listen Up!

For a number of reasons (I'm pregnant, I'm in the industry and I have a personal blog), I have been given the opportunity to "test out" stretch mark preventives and other various things that are on the market today, under the condition I give my honest opinion and blog about the stuff I like.

If you're like me, you hate ads unless there is a good deal at the end...so stay tuned.

Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Body Butter and Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Oil by mama mio are my fave stretch mark preventives by far.

The butter is creamy and rubs on smooth, with a beautiful scent and non-greasy after feel. It's actives are all natural: wheat germ, shea butter, and borage oils which permeate the skin to improve elasticity!The oil is non-greasy and absorbs quickly, which of course is good news!

Well what should I buy the oil or butter? The most effective is the oil, but it also depends on your preference. Some people cannot stand oils and in that case you should opp for the butter.

Another plus about the oil is it takes less to cover your entire torso, buttocks and thighs. To compare, I go through a tub of butter a month (and the bigger I get the more I go through in a shorter period of time) when I apply twice daily...and it takes me twice the amount of time to go through the oil.

Topical treatments are essential for stretch mark prevention (also awesome genetics) so don't buy into the ingestible hoopla, anything you ingest goes straight to the baby and not to your skin, therefore, preventing nothing and creating an elastic baby, jk about the elastic baby part.

I also have a mountain of baby products to test, but I am only testing the fragrance, dye, paraben free products and throwing away the others. A baby's skin is way too sensitive to bathe in a bunch of skin care products even though they are saturating the market place. And not too hop on the organic band wagon but organic sheets, wipes, and topical lotions/creams are the way to go when it comes to a little one - seriously. But if you don't like organic, just make sure your laundry detergent, lotions, wipes are dye, fragrance and paraben free :) (Just a little advice from a product formulator/experienced skin care marketer, not an experienced mother.)

FYI to my pregnant friends, I get a discount on all California Baby and Mustela products... 50%.

So kiss up now and leave a comment...the more comments you leave the more products I get.

If you want to purchase Mama Mio (makes great shower gifts) click Dermstore.com, the products I reviewed retail at $35.00.
