Tamera Mowry-Housley on why braids are best for Labor, Delivery and New Motherhood

 

tamera mowry braids

The other half of our fave celeb mom twins, Tamera Mowry-Housley is now sporting long box braids.

The actress, who co-stars as a panelist on the daytime talk show The Real,  this past Wednesday, July  1 welcomed her second child, daughter Ariah Talea, with husband FOX news correspondent Adam Housley.

This week, she posted a photo of herself when she was still pregnant rocking the protective style which is commonly worn among ethnic women.

Many pregnant women get their hair in braids right before giving birth because they know it will be a low maintenance style that is great to wear during labor and delivery. And afterwards,  when a new mom is busy with a newborn, braids are a no-fuss style. Those reasons are among the 5 Tamera explained why she got some gorgeous long box braids.

They’re not as long as the super butt-length braids her sister Tia Mowry Hardrict rocked recently.

Tamera had her own individual take and they  look great!

 

 

Check out Tamera’s blog to see the five reasons she offers for rocking box braids right before and after giving birth HERE!

‘The Real’s Tamera Mowry-Housley welcomes daughter, Ariah Talea

tamera and fam

Congratulations to one half of our favorite celebrity twins Tamera Mowry-Housley who welcomed her second child, daughter Ariah Talea Housley on Wednesday.

Tamera and her husband Adam Housley  confirmed the news to PEOPLE magazine.

“We are beyond overjoyed and blessed with our beautiful baby girl. Aden already made a welcome video for her,” they shared with the site.

The new arrival has the same initials as her 2 1/2-year old brother: Aden Tanner Housley.

It’s similar to the tradition her parents had of giving all their children the same initials: TDM.

The Real talk show co-host announced her pregnancy news in January and her hubby shared the gender live on air during the show, much to Tamera’s surprise as she had asked him to conceal the baby’s sex from her.

Adam and Tamera’s twin Tia Mowry Hardrict both tweeted out their own personal notes of glee about the delivery.

We are sure Ariah will be as gorgeous as her baby bro.

Aww! Congrats!

Band-Aid spokesperson Tamera Mowry- Housley dishes on her pregnancy while promoting brand (VIDEO)

Second time mom-to-be Tamera Mowry-Housley has been making the rounds promoting Band Aid as spokesperson for the brand and she stopped by Access Hollywood and FOX and Friends recently. 
During the Access Hollywood interview, the co-host of FOX’s daytime talk show The Real said she popped a lot faster for her second pregnancy compared to the last one.
“I was trying to hide it and you know the traditional way is to not tell people that you are pregnant until your 12th week and I looked like I was 6 months pregnant already,”  she joked.
The Sister, Sister alum also talked about being more exhausted being pregnant while having a toddler at home.
“No one told me about this, being pregnant and having a toddler is a whole other thing,” she shared but also expressed excitement about having to fill her heart with love for a new baby. “I loved him so much so how do you find enough love to love the other one?”

Get the super cute and affordable ASOS Placed Stripe and Colour Block Bodycon dress Tamera rocked at the FOX and Friends interview for just $81.00!

Mowry-Housley, who recently starred in a reality TV show, Tia and Tamera, with her sister Tia Mowry-Hardrict on the now defunct Style Network,  says  she does have a plan to deal with sibling jealousy. She intends to give her son Aden John Tanner with hubby FOX news correspondent Adam Housley a gift from his baby sister. That gesture, she hopes, will help him better adjust to having a new baby in the house. 
Smart!

Inside Tamera Mowry-Housley’s Baby Shower (PHOTOS)

Celebrity event planner Mindy Weiss did a superb job planning Tamera Mowry-Housley‘s baby shower which took place at the Hotel Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica, California last Saturday, April 4.

It was truly a girly affair (the theme) and according to PEOPLE magazine, Mowry-Housley decided to relinquish all control to Weiss to organize the entire thing and was blown away at the end product.

Guests included Mowry-Housley’s co-hosts on The Real: Adrienne Bailon, Tamar Braxton Herbert and Jeanie Mai; her twin sister Tia Mowry Hardrict  of course and their actor brother Tahj Mowry.

The table decorations were awe-some. I loved the fact they were designed to look like tu-tus! How girly indeed!. The floral arrangement were to die for!

Guests were also treated to pink Essie nail polish and a feminine pink headband. How cute.

The shower cake from Joan and Leigh’s cakes was made like an oven, complete with a bun in it! So fun!

Loved that the invitations matched the party decor, but oopsie on the misspelling of the Housley’s son, Aden, who they welcomed in November 2012.

Guests went home with goodie bags filled with chocolate eggs, PEOPLE  reported.

It looked like an exquisite, ornate and decadent affair! Well done Mindy and congrats to Mowry-Housley and her husband FOX News correspondent Adam Housley, expecting their second child weeks from now.

Tamera Mowry-Housley plans to wear makeup for second birth (MAKEUP VIDEO TUTORIAL)

During a recent interview with PEOPLE magazine, mom-to-be Tamera Mowry-Housley said she plans to wear makeup when she delivers her daughter later this Spring. 
“I feel like I have to up my fashion game already,” she joked to the magazine. “I want to be an inspiration to her from birth. I already know I’m going to do my hair, I’m going to do my makeup because it’s so weird what having a daughter does to you. You just become more girly.”
Some may wonder, huh, ‘who is thinking of looking pretty in the middle of all that pushing and sweating?’
We totally get it. You get a lot of visitors after giving birth and will be in tons of photos also, for some, makeup just makes you feel more pretty and more beautiful and lifts the mood. It’s not all about vanity. 
Here is a great video tutorial from Vlogger Carah Amalie for how to quickly do your make up while in the hospital as you prepare to deliver and/or receive visitors. 

[NOTE: If you are not expecting, this video is also GREAT for a natural look for everyday]



During the interview, Tamera also says while she was waiting for 8 weeks to tell her sister Tia Mowry Hardrict about the pregnancy Tia called her to ask if she was preggers. It’s that twintuition, the celeb moms always talk about in interviews! Very cute!

Eco-Friday: How to have a Baby Clothes Swap Party

 swaps! 
Personally, I have attended a couple of clothing/closet swap parties for adults where girlfriends get together, take turns and shop each others’ clothes that we won’t wear any longer. It is a trendy and economical way to get “new” clothes without breaking the bank and swapping out your wardrobe.
In these tough economic times, purchasing new clothes for an impending arrival, especially for families on a budget and with more than one child, is not always an option. Organizing a baby swap is a very wonderful way for everyone to save a buck and get some new stuff. Here are some tips I gleaned from online research:

Step 1 – Select a date. 

  •  Based on your schedule and your family’s schedule, select a date that best works for you.  
  •  From there, decide if your swap will host both kids and adults – this will also help in determining the time of your swap (daytime vs. nighttime), the food, the activities, etc.  

Step 2 – Declutter. 

  • Get the word out about your Clothing Swap house party sooner rather than later. This gives everyone ample time to clean out their closets and find items to swap.  
  •  Make sure to invite your  guests three-to-four weeks in advance. With your invites, give your guests the following instructions:

What to bring:
Kids clothes and accessories in all sizes that are wearable and freshly laundered.
Most swap-worthy items fall into 3 categories

  • NEW Clothes (with tags)
  • NEARLY NEW Clothes (worn only once or twice)
  • GENTLY USED Clothes (worn, but still in very good condition)

What NOT to bring:
Out of respect for fellow swappers and your community, please do not bring ripped, dirty, stained items, those with broken zippers, or otherwise unwearable.              
            
Note that all unclaimed items can be donated to a host selected non-profit or cause.
Step 3 – Prepare for your party. 
You can create a successful swap by designating different areas of your home for different articles of clothing or different children’s clothes sizes. For example, your living room might be the location for all clothes for newborns, while the bedroom might have clothes for toddlers. 
Set up different tables clearly labeled with sizes or type of clothing to help your guests “organize” when they arrive. 
Mirrors, racks and hangers are helpful but not required

Hope this is helpful. 
And sidebar: it was refreshing to see Tia Mowry Hardrict  and Tamera Mowry-Housley balk at a pricey bottle of olive oil in that episode earlier and second guess a decision to pay $80 for some flimsy resort wear an episode before when they went to the Bahamas. So many times on reality TV shows, we have women, who may not necessarily be independently wealthy, make so many outlandish shopping purchases flagrantly and without any regard to the final price. You’ll see the camera zoom in to a total that is 500th times what an average family would pay or even earn in a month. Many times, they can’t really even afford the crap but do it for the cameras and show. It’s so great that Tia and Tamera don’t buy into that and reveal that even though they may earn more as actresses, they watch their pennies and wallets and refuse to succumb to extravagant spending. It’s a great lesson and good to see. The truly wealthy people on this earth do not spend extraneously as “new money” people do and that is the reason they remain wealthy. Okay. Off my soap box now! 🙂

Will Tamera Mowry-Housley’s second pregnancy announcement change how you see sponsored content by celebrities in social media?

Congratulations to one half of our favorite sets of celebrity twins, Tamera Mowry-Housley, who announced yesterday on her Instagram and Facebook accounts that she is expecting her second child with husband FOX News correspondent Adam Housley.


The couple are parents to 2-year old Aden. The new arrival, when born, will have mom’s twin, actress Tia Mowry Hardrict, for an aunty and her son with actor Cory Hardrict,  3-year old Cree Taylor for a cousin. 


Mowry-Housley had been a spokesperson for the pregnancy testing brand Clear Blue  since 2013 . She also mentioned the company in the share:
“We are thrilled to announce we are #ClearblueConfirmed! Can’t wait to meet baby #2! Love Clearblue’s pregnancy test with Smart Countdown. It helped me get through the wait to get my result by counting down with me. #spon,”

She likely is beyond 3 months and took the test a while ago and is only dong the announcement now for the promo opp. 

I was noticing some of the negative reaction in social media and in comments section to the announcement over the fact that she included the words “#spon” in the post and used the moment to also promote the brand.
John Legend‘s controversial wife, model Chrissy Teigen,  even threw in some shade

I wrote a couple years ago in March 2013 on my poli-tech blog about how the United States Federal Trade Commission had updated its regulations back then to require celebrities, bloggers and other social media personalities to indicate clearly and explicitly when they are getting paid in product or money to promote a product. 
The purpose, of course, is the interest of transparency and full disclosure so audiences are aware they are being influenced by someone paid to advance a brand. 
As a blogger, I have railed for years against the fact that I see so many celebrities promote products daily that they are getting paid to social share but who fail to abide by the rules. Yet, there seemed to be a focus on bloggers, vloggers and other rising social media influencers to be compliant. Meanwhile, celebrities were violating the rules routinely and there seemed to be no interest in cracking down on them.
Technically, the brands are responsible more making sure celebs themselves do not break the guidelines and they, along with the celebrity, are responsible for any fines or repercussions of the violation.
As BabyCenter.com pointed out, Mowry-Housley was using her clutch to hide her bump at an industry event last month.

Now,  given some of the negative reaction to Mowry-Housley’s announcement, with some people calling the share “tacky”, it’s easy to see why many choose to just omit the fact they were paid to promote a product or service. 
Consumers, apparently,  don’t take too well to paid promotions at all and will be less likely to trust the word of the person promoting the product if they feel there was compensation for it. They don’t find it as genuine. Perhaps it’s the same reason why people get up to use the bathroom during commercials but cannot avoid brands strategically placed on TV shows. Overt v. Subconscious. 
It also probably has to do with the fact that people gravitate to blogs, online communities and social media to get the “real” experience and find dialogue. They probably find the exchanges there more trustworthy and honest than from scripted prose. It’s the same reason why people prefer reality TV or non-fiction television shows over scripted ones perhaps. 
In any event, all of the ruckus will die down eventually and people will get over it.

Congrats to the family!

I am eager, however, to see if this announcement and the reaction to it will lead more celebrities and brands to continue to take the risk of an FTC fine by just not following the rules as they are already are. 
….Or will it open up more audiences’ eyes to realize that they see thousands of product placements in tweets and IG shares daily and have been obliviously taking it all in and fine with it all the time.
Note they only got bothered when it was in their faces. 
So it seems people don’t mind being “influenced” so long as they’re not told they are. So interesting. And with more news outlets picking up the announcement, ClearBlue is getting exposure beyond Mowry-Housley’s millions of followers.
Your thoughts? Do you see nothing wrong with using social media to promote a brand during your pregnancy announcement? Or do you think it shouldn’t be used for personal shares?

Tia Mowry gets Braids and Introducing JJ Braids

Woot! Look who got some hot and bold godess box braids!!! Tia Mowry!

One half of our fave twin moms and Bellyitch Blog alums is adding some edge and twist to her look with this brave style! She shared this above image to her fans and followers of her Facebook page account recently.

We love it!

This is a great time then to introduce Bellytich Blog readers who are interested in or who can wear ethnic braided styles to my new braided hair blog, JJ Braids.

I only created JJBraids.com this week after getting numerous queries and requests from friends, family, strangers, in person and in social media, about my various braided styles.
“What is that style?” “What type of braided extensions is that?” “What texture is it?” “What is the length?”” How much did it cost?”” Who did it?”
In this new blog, I answer those questions of the various braided styles I’ve worn over the past 10 years consistently and regularly. 
In coming weeks, I will add links to shops where one can get their hair done in a similar style and links to online resources to purchase the hair.
I hope it can be a resource as I noticed that there really isn’t a similar website or blog out there like it. 
If you are on Facebook, I invite you to join the spanking brand new Facebook page.
If you are on Pinterest, follow the JJ’s Braids Pinterest page where I will be adding more styles from around the web. 
I plan to launch a Twitter and Instagram version too soon so you can keep up dependent of the choice of social media you frequent most. 
Thanks friends and do share! Much appreciate it!

Celebrity Kids with the Most Hair Critics

Tia Mowry-Hardrict is the latest celebrity mom hit with excessive public criticism over her child’s hair.  Some are coming after the Instant Mom actress’s decision to let her 3 year old son Cree wear his curly natural hair long, and plaiting it once in a while.
The former star of The Game clapped back at critics on her Instagram recently posting the above photo with the caption: 

I am proud to have a SON that embraces his natural hair :). Hair length does not define your sex. Last I checked a penis and a vagina does. Pick up a book, educate yourself, and embrace cultures outside of your own and maybe you will see that there are PLENTY of MEN wearing top knots and MEN with long hair. Here’s a shout out to all the moms who have boys and girls with natural hair!    Live ON!

For a long while, many critics lauded at Beyonce Knowles and her husband Jay Z Carter for the fact they did not style their daughter’s hair to their liking, and harness her tresses into a ponytail. Some people actually launched a Change.org petition over it. Sheesh! Over 5,000 people are that pressed. 

Bey’s harshest critic, Sandra Rose, proclaims that all the public harassment worked because since the bruhaha, Blue has been seen with her hair tamed lately. 
Angelina Jolie too faced a lot of flak for permitting her daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt to “dress like a boy” and for keeping her hair short like a boy, according to critics. 
No wonder, some like British singer Rochelle Humes, choose to conceal her daughter‘s face in social media. It doesn’t stop many from commenting on her hair and whatever they can see anyway.
It comes with the territory. People feel that when you are a celebrity, part of that status is all of you, including your children, and therefore they too are public and subject to criticism. Your decisions are not your own and you can expect to be criticized for them, no matter what.
Kinda sucks! 
Your thoughts?

Tia and Tamera Mowry to pen Young Adult teen book series

Our favorite Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum twins Tia Mowry Hardrict and sis Tamera Mowry-Housley are penning a young adults series for HarperCollins Children‘s Books called Twintuition. The series will follow the trials of a set of twin siseters who move to a new town with their mom. According to a blurb on E!, the series will be a mix of the sort of antics we saw on the Mowry sisters’ hit 90s TV show Sister, Sister and a hint of supernatural a la The Twilight series. 
This new venture adds to the sisters multi-faceted branding, products and productions: they have a maternity and mom products company Needs brand, Tia has a Yoga DVD set out and stars in a NickMom series Instant Mom (recently renewed for a second season),  while Tamera’s TV hosting gig on FOX‘s The Real (starting this fall), in addition to other projects.  Phew! 
These two are really getting their hustle on and giving those other 90s child stars, The Olsen twins, a run for their money. 

Check out a video of the duo answering various questions on E! HERE!
