Twinkle-Kids: Taking Kids Tees to the Next Level


I admit it, I'm a crafter. I have a room, "my studio", that is filled with fabric and papers and all kinds of pretty things. The studio is my sanctuary and my happy place in a world full of energenic boys.

When I saw the tees by Twinkle-kids, the crafter in me was extremely impressed. Each of their adorable tees are created out of 100% cotton and embellished with soft wool felt. The felt gives the design an extra element of style and texture.

Twinkle-kids was created by two good friends and inspired by a set of Twins. "Twin"-kle kids is definitely inspired by a love of crafts and metropolitan tastes which are both evident in the quality and workmanship in their products.

Their styles are simple and stylish in a variety of today's popular color combos. Definitely check out their skyline tee, it's my personal favorite!

Until Kara: Simple Oranic Burp Cloths

When I started shopping for my first baby, I collected all those "must have" lists and one of the items that confused me was the requisite cloth diapers. I was going to use disposable, why would I need cloth diapers?

As a new mom, I quickly found out how indespensible a simple pack of cloth diapers can be. They were perfect for quick cleanups, tossing over my shoulder for burp time, and pretty much every icky job you can imagine. They weren't pretty, but they sure got the job done.

We had two options when we bought our pack - Gerbers blue and Gerbers white.

Until Kara has created a line of organic cloth baby products including a super soft organic cotton burp cloth that any new mom could be proud to toss over her shoulder. These cloths are surprisingly soft with the feel of soft flannel.

If you are a fan of natural baby products, they have a coordinating line of baby blankets made of the same soft cotton fabric and are introducing a line of baby bedding this Spring. Until Kara's products are very reasonably priced. All products are created out of 100% Organic Cotton and are chemically free.

Skinvitals: Cloth Facial Masks for At Home Spa Treatments


This time of year is terrible on the skin - especially for those of us that live in cold weather states. This weekend the artic temperatures are heading for Minnesota and we're getting ready to lock ourselves in with a pile of movies and time on our hands.

While I was stocking up at Target today, I spotted one of my favorite skincare products that until now I could only order online. I can't say enough about the Skinvitals masks! My personal favorite is the Lavender + Green Tea "L-Smooth" mask.

The Skinvitals masks are perfect for the mom on the go who doesn't always have the time that a trip to spa for a facial requires. All you need is 15 minutes to relax with a soft cloth mask that easily slips onto your face and your skin will feel refreshed for weeks.

Now available at Target for the reasonable price of $3.95 / mask or $9.95 for a pack of four.

I'm definitely going to take 15 minutes out for myself this weekend and get my winter dried skin back in soft, hydrated condition!

Lands End: Bathing Suits for Bodies that Have Had Babies

I had the unfortunate experience of breaking my ankle over the holidays. When I went to the doctor to have it checked out last week, he informed me that the cast will probably come off next week. Our discussion turned to what I will be able to do and what I should avoid for the time being.

My biggest concern was being able to work out. I had started a workout regime last October and am very eager to get back on it. Well, apparently I can't at least not yet. I have to slowly work my stregnth back up before I get to do any running or anything involving any impact. But I can swim all I want according to the doc.

Shudders went down my back. I haven't gone swimming since I had the twins. We've taken them to the pool, but it involves a sprint from where I remove my coverup to the water and vice versa.

I've been saying since we started the workout regime that I need to get a new swimsuit so I can swim. Now that it appears that swimming will need to be my form of exercise at least for a few weeks, I could put it off no more.

So my husband calls me up yesterday and asks if I want to go shopping and we can pick up that swimming suit. Oh yeah, that's what I need my husband impatiently waiting while I try on suit after suit that I hate. But I relunctedly agreed and off we went.

Our first stop ended up being the last. We found the perfect suit at Lands End (in my case one of their outlets) and I am delighted.

Typically, the suits either cover way too little or way too much. I tried on a dozen and most worked fine but one of their slenderizers is the perfect suit. It sucks in all that you need contained without being unconfortable and doesn't look like a grandma suit. It even got my husband's seal of approval.

I still have to wait a week before I can try it out in water, but if you are starting your search for a summer bathing suit definitely check out the ones at Lands End today! (Note - their outlets are having a great sale with 40% off the already reduced prices!!)

Blue Eye Boy: Jewelry with Boys in Mind

Moms of little boys sometimes get the short end of the stick when it comes to kids accessories. Little girls come with frilly socks, playful jewelry, and all kinds of ribbons and bows. Little boys come with baseball caps. Unless of course you count dirt which happens to be my boys number one fashion accessory.

I was delighted to find Blue Eye Boy and their collection of jewelry designed for little boys. The collection is designed with today's boys in mind and feature a variety of "boy" themes like camo, bones, and baseballs.

I was concerned that the necklace would be too fragile for everyday wear, but the moment I opened the box my fears were alleviate. Each necklace is constructed with durable polymer clay beads and coordinating spacers. They close with a secure screw clasp. Blue Eye Boy has found a way to take childrens jewelry and infuse them with the spirit of boyhood.

To put it in my seven-year-old's words as he saw it for the first time, "That is so cool!!!!!"

If you are looking for a great gift for the little guys in your life definitely check out Blue Eye Boy today. It may earn you the title of cool mom at least for a little while!

Welcome to The Chic Mom!

The Chic Mom is a spin-off blog from Celebrity Moms and The Stylish Child.

Now that my last child has decided to potty train himself, I found I can once again carry a stylish purse rather than a mommy bag. This sent me on a mad hunt over the holidays in search of a great purse. Which I found at Target!

That combined with the many companies that have contacted me about writing up their non-baby related products made me decide to create a central place to put all the really cool stuff I find for all the chic moms out there.

If you have a product that you want to have featured please drop me a note at emma@celebrity-moms.com
