I Killed The Summer Box of Style on the Beach; Subscribe and Get Yours

box-o-style

As promised after my unboxing and review of the items that came in the Summer 2017 Box of Style curated by the fashionable editors of the Zoe Report and celebrity stylist-turned designer and reality TV star and TV host, Rachel Zoe, I wore the items during a recent beach trip.

The top quality pieces were a hit!

I think I wore the Helena Quinn kimono everywhere and turned lots of heads on the beach and pool side doing so. I have also been rocking those cat eye sun shades by Raen consistently as the Panama sun hat from Sole Society. Again, I think it is very cool that the items inside are valued at over $400 though the box itself only costs $99 per quarter. . (You get a $50 discount if you order for the year.)

In case you missed my unboxing, you can check it out here:

In the meantime, I loved it all so much, I joined on as an official partner and am now promoting it actively. If you purchase using my link, I get a small profit share so thanks in advance for signing up using my link here!

This is The Pregnancy Discomfort Support Belt Your Mom Wishes She Had

Sponsored Post

pregnancy-support-belt-babybellyband-3

Pregnancy is a joyful time but also causes a series of discomfort and pain. Achy feet from weight displacement in the growing baby bump area, water retention, acne, hair loss and back ache are among the variety of issues many women experience.

Back pain is also very common. When I was pregnant with my first child I suffered from sciatica, pain in the lower back and back of the leg from nerve pressure; and diastasis recti, a separation of my abdominal muscles as my uterus grew with the baby.

Back then, sadly, there weren’t as many commercially-available options available as now for expecting moms dealing with this kind of discomfort. While more companies are developing back braces and other innovations to help women, one company stands out: The Babybellyband by CABEA Orthopedic Designs.

And the plus with the BabyBellyBand is the available options for the groin and shoulder area for added comfort and support. Aw Man! I get relieved just looking at it. Imagine getting to have your entire bump lifted and supported off your shoulders and back!?! Wowee! That’s exactly what the shoulder straps add on does for you!

There is also an option to purchase a compression therapy groin straps which I would have killed to have had on those days when my sciatica was really inflamed an acting up.

Moms in this new generation are so fortunate to have something like the BabyBellyBand to come to their rescue. If you want total comfort options, you can get both for a few bucks more, making the entire system quite versatile and practically useful for all stages of a pregnancy and postpartum.

From the company’s website:

The belt is designed to provide immediate relief on the body from a growing baby, but also provides relief for non-pregnancy related hernias.

  • It provides immediate support and relieves discomfort as your baby grows, giving you the freedom and confidence to enjoy your pregnancy and to get on with your daily life, whether that be in the workplace, at home, doing the school-run or out and about with friends.

Material Used

  • Made from a medically approved fabric the system is discreet and easy to fit.
  • Comprising of an abdominal band for initial abdominal and back support.
  • Shoulder straps for extra support as your baby grows and groin bands to relieve pressure on your lower body.

Also, they shared with us recent research from customers who corroborate and back up the effectiveness of the product. Of those Babybellyband surveyed, 93 percent of women said they felt pain relief after wearing it and 73 percent reported being able to return to normal activity after wearing it. Niceness!

The Babybellyband apparently relieves  22 pregnancy discomforts such as back pain, various types of hernias, vulvar varicosities, and diastasis recti. What a total body solution, huh?

There are so many pregnancy support bands on the market but the babybellyband is a full care system from the beginning of pregnancy through postpartum recovery. The BabyBellyBand starts at about $35 US just for the belt and $71 for the groin add on $91 for the full body support, including the groin and shoulder straps. That’s a worthwhile investment for the level of pain relief you can expect. And they have good reviews from users of the product. Check them out here!

I can relate to the need for a belt that you can wear at every stage and beyond. Although it has been years since I’ve had a baby, I return to my support band to help alleviate lower back pain so the investment is worthwhile and can be used for subsequent pregnancies.

The folks at BabyBellyBand are offering Bellyitch Blog readers a discount of  10% for your total order using the CODE: bbb10jj at check out! Awesome!

Lauren Conrad Welcomes Son, Liam James Tell

conrad

Congrats to former reality star turned lifestyle maven Lauren Conrad on the birth of her first child this past Wednesday.

The lifestyle blogger and designer shared the news on her website that son is Liam James Tell was born Wednesday, weighing in at 6 pounds, 14 ounces.

It’s the first child for Conrad and husband William Tell. The 31-year-old Conrad married the lawyer and musician in 2014.

Conrad got her start on Laguna Beach before getting her own reality show, The Hills which ran from 2006 to 2010.

She told her readers that she planned to step back from an active role on her blog while she adjust to motherhood.

“I’ll be taking a little bit of a step back from the site over the next few weeks as we adjust to life as a family of three (five, if you count Chloe and Fitz of course…),” the Laguna Beach alum wrote. “But not to worry… my editorial team will be working hard to bring you tons of great content in the meantime, and I’ll still be blogging here and there when I can, bringing you updates from my life as a new mom.”

Being the savvy and well-prepared content creator, she prepped for maternity leave.

“Plus, I’ve drafted up a few blog posts ahead of time, so you can still expect to see at least one or two posts a week coming from yours truly,” she added.

Nice! Congrats!

 

Study: High Fat Pregnancy Diet Linked to Breast Cancer Risk

pregnant-2196853_1280

Researchers have learned that slight modifications to the genome – epigenetic changes – can be caused by environmental influences, and can be passed down through generations. Pursuing this line of thinking, researchers at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center analyzed mice over generations, finding that when pregnant females consume a diet high in fat derived from common corn oil, there is a significant increase in the risk of breast cancer for three generations of offspring.

The senior author of the report, Leena Hilakivi-Clarke, PhD, a Professor of Oncology at Georgetown Lombardi suggests it’s worth pursuing this research in pregnant women. “It is believed that environmental and life-style factors, such as diet, plays a critical role in increasing human breast cancer risk, and so we use animal models to reveal the biological mechanisms responsible for the increase in risk in women and their female progeny,” Hilakivi-Clarke explained.

High-fat diets have already been connected to an increase in inflammation, and epidemiological studies have determined that inflammation is linked to an increased risk of cancer, she said. Hilakivi-Clarke has previously found that pregnant mice consuming a high fat diet have female pups that experience increased cancer risk. In this work, when pregnant mice changed to a high fat diet during their second trimester, which is when the germ line transmitting genetic material between generations, there is also an increased breast cancer risk in the second generation.

Rainbow Maternity and New Born Shoots Honor Life After Loss

rainbow-baby

Rainbow maternity and newborn maternity shoots are trending ways to honor an “at last” pregnancy or baby after a miscarriage, stillborn, neonatal death or infant loss.

The term is symbolic to a rainbow that appears after a storm.  People are even incorporating the theme in their pregnancy and birth announcements as some examples can be seen here.  There are more and more articles about couples that are capturing their rainbow journey in the media like this touching story about one woman we spotted in PEOPLE magazine earlier this year.

Along the way, we have also spotted some wonderful and heart-warming photo shoots out there that have captured our hearts. Here are a few:

Eagles Adopted a Baby Hawk They Captured for Food and the Rest is Fascinating Parenting History

imrs

We’ve blogged about surrogate parenting among birds before, and was intrigued by a fascinating recent story in the Washington Post about a baby Hawk that was stolen from his nest by a Bald Eagle couple and taken along with his sibling to be food for their baby eaglets.

The sibling didn’t make it.

The surviving Hawk, called Spunky by bird watchers following this story, managed to squawk so innocently that he fooled and/or created empathy from the bald Eagle parents. So, instead of chopping him up as food, they became his adopted parents and ended up feeding him along with their kids.

Spunky, though smaller than his new step siblings, learns to fly quickly while the heavier still undeveloped eaglets sit helpless in the nest. He eventually figures out he has other advantages that come with having a Hawk frame and he bullies the eaglet at meal time. This drama is all going down at the British Columbia’s Shoal Harbour Migratory Bird Sanctuary in Canada and it is a tale being followed by bird watchers and others.

Now Spunky may have an identity crisis and think he is an eagle or he may soon learn when he gets into the real world that other eagles may not take too kindly to his brutish behavior.

We’re eager to learn his fate and his story is all quite well written and a very well written read. check it out here!

“He didn’t know what to say or what to do,” Natasha Daugherty told InsideEdition.com.

After months of secrecy, Natasha finally revealed her secret by showing off her big baby bump during his homecoming, and capturing his reaction on video.
