How To Look Good By The Pool

babybuff205 — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 03:43:26 -0700

I been looking round For great maternity swim wear for quite a while now And decided to make a hobby of helping other mums-to-be look great in affordable Maternity Swim Wear. As a mum my self it was hard to find any swim wear when I was pregnant that I could use for maternity if your belly conscious and want to cover that cute bump up.

I've Made It my Goal to help mum's Get the correct swim wear that fits perfectly as at the time I found that some Maternity stores Swim Wear was to big or to small for my frame and was really upset when trying the garment on because it didn't fit properly. I know people come in all shapes and sizes but made sure that all Maternity swim wear was made from the correct material , that hugs in the correct place no matter how and what shape you are.

It been hard Graft finding funding and sourcing the manufacturers as at the time no banks were lending do to the ressession and had been supporting my company though my own part time job in the evenings so that I could buy these stunning maternity swim wear and maternity clothing and help mums-to-be find what they want . I'm hoping to expand on ranges soon for next year as I've taken on a full time job doing nights as I want to build my business slowly. I don't want to Get any Loans as This is not a good Thing When starting a business up.

babysugar Diaries: Insults

babysugar — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 12:00:00 -0700

If you've ever been pregnant, then you're probably all too familiar with the unsolicited remarks that strangers and friends feel compelled to share with you. Until recently, random people on the street were the biggest offenders. One Starbucks barista was brazen enough to ask if I was just carrying one child. When I confirmed that I was indeed pregnant with a single baby, he said something along the lines of, "Maybe you've got like nine in there! Like an alien! And you could be on Oprah and have lots of people send you free stuff!" WHAT!? I think someone had a little crazy juice with his lattes that morning.

Now, my friends have joined in on the insult game as well. The other day one of my girlfriends said, "You look different this pregnancy. Last time you were more pointed out and this time I think you're wider." Unaware that her comments were upsetting me, I let it slide. The next time someone pipes up, I'll be tempted to say, "You know what? You look wider, too!" In my last few weeks of pregnancy I may become more cheeky with my responses because pregnant or not, nobody should have to endure, "You look wider" comments.

I don't even know remember what life i lived before this moment. I cant wait to upload photos of my growing belly I would like to do it month to month. I'm sort of new to popsugar, so I am still trying to figure all this out. Stay tuned....

Belly Worship: Jennifer Loomis

LilSugar — Thu, 22 May 2008 13:00:52 -0700

One woman made a career out of capturing expectant ladies in a state of belly worship. Renowned photographer, Jennifer Loomis has photographed more than1,500 women with child and is currently writing a book about celebrating the full form. We were lucky enough to ask the shutterbug a few questions about striking a pose while pregnant.

Q. Ever since Demi Moore exposed her bare bump on the cover of the August 1991 issue of Vanity Fair while pregnant with her daughter, Scout, celebs from Christina Aguilera to Melissa Joan Hart have stripped down their expectant selves for photo shoots. Why do you think this started a trend?

A. Pregnant celebrity women have made a very positive contribution to expecting women in the United States. Our society likes to mimic what the celebrities do. Celebrities drive a lot of fashion and set many trends. As regular fashion started to be more revealing, pregnant celebrity women followed suite, embracing their bodies by wearing tighter clothes and exposing their bellies. This paved the way for other mothers to do the same.

Q. When baring it all for a photographer, how can a mama-to-be be sure that her shots will be classy, not tacky? Are their specific things to look for in a photographer?

A. First and foremost, do your research. The web is your best resource. Find a photographer whose photographs you like. That is the most important thing. Look for images and poses that you would feel comfortable doing. I would also recommend finding a photographer who is experienced shooting the most flattering angles of pregnant women. You want to come away from your session feeling beautiful, not focused on the areas of your body you aren't comfortable with.

Q. As a photographer, what do you find to be the most beautiful aspect of the pregnant belly?

A. Each pregnant belly is different and I think that they are all beautiful in their own way. I really love it when the baby is moving in the belly and you can see it. I also have photographed it.

Belly Worship: Mother Nurture

LilSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 13:00:35 -0700

Every mother thinks her child is exceptional, but some end up raising tots that turn into superstars, business moguls and acclaimed athletes.

Inspired by motherhood, author Stephanie Hirsch interviewed many moms of notables for her book. Mother Nurture ($17).

The hardbound collection of short stories include tidbits and tips from the women who raised America's best and brightest - Diane Sawyer, Tony Hawk, Beyonce Knowles, Tim McGraw and numerous others. A far cry from a textbok guide, this is a must read because it's all about the practical aspects of parenting.

To see what some of the women had to say, read more.

Whether it was Matt Lauer's mom, Marilyn Gentry's laid back approach - she said just being there for her son was something she did right. Or since Nate Berkus' mama, Nancy Golden's ability was to lead by example - since she was an interior designer, Nate knew furniture scale by the age of eight.

Mary Aigner, mother of Julie Aigner-Clark put an emphasis on learning. She said:

I always saw my role as a guide. One area I prodded a little more was when it came to education. I made it very clear to Julie that she should go to college. I wanted to make sure that she could earn a living and not be dependent on us or a man.

Obviously, the sound advice paid off. The book also includes pages where photos of the reader and her mom can be inserted and space to pen her own tale.
