Moving on up!

I FINALLY upgraded my cell phone.  Since June, I had been patiently waiting for Verizon to get the iPhone. When I started my new job, my boss took one look at my beat-up Blackberry Curve and decided to buy me a new cell phone! First day on the job and the boss buys me a new phone, pretty awesome right!? Well at that time, Verizon still did not have the iPhone. So I took a look around the store and decided to go with the DroidX. I loved the HUGE screen, (I carry a purse so the bigger the better!) and it reminded me a whole lot of the iPhone. 

So far, so good. I REALLY LOVE this phone. Of course, two days later Verizon announced they were getting the iPhone in February. I technically have 30 days to return my cell and try out another one (so I could get the iPhone.) But I think I am sticking with the DroidX. I really like it and I am overly impressed with the photo and video quality. A cell phone with HD video and an 8 megapixel camera!? Can't beat that!! So even though I am an avid Mac user, it looks like I am sticking with my Droid. 


With that being said, I want to make my cell phone pretty. I got a little pink gel case... it is cute but not as cute as I would like it. I came across a website and found the COOLEST skins for your cell phone. You can take any photo and make it a cell phone cover. They virtually have every cell phone listed (iPhone, Droid, you name it!) And I can personalize my cell phone cover any way I like it!! 


I made this one with the Lilly Pulitzer print that matches our bridesmaid dresses for Marisa's wedding! Talk about accessorizing! hehe This print in particular is called, "Do the Wave."

Here is another really cute one I did with a Lilly Pulitzer pattern! I am so ready for BRIGHT colors, SPRING weather, SUNDRESSES and FLIP FLOPS!

What do y'all think!? Aren't they MUCH prettier than the normal black cover. Best part, they are only $6.99.  I think I am going to order a few and see how I like them!!

You can also custom design covers for your Macbook, laptop computer, and iPad!

I love this website!! If you want to design your own to see what it looks like, go HERE!

Also, if you want to make a Lilly Pulitzer skin but don't have any Lilly photos, send me an e-mail. I have a TON!!!

Here is a little more information about the covers:

What Are Unique Skins?

The ultimate way to personalize and protect your electronic device! Unique Skins are removable adhesive-backed vinyl covers for protecting and customizing your electronic device. The best part about Unique Skins is that they are completely customizable. You control every aspect of how the skin will look! Upload your own photos, or even use your own personal artwork. Our customizer allows you to resize, alter, and rotate any image you upload so you have the maximum creative control over the final result. Our goal is to make sure you are completely satisfied with your skin.

Some AWESOME Features:

*Upload your own photos or personal artwork.

*Add text.

*Resize your images or text.

*Rotate.

*Add multiple layers of text, photos, or personal artwork.

*Save for later.

Unique skins are thin enough not to add any additional bulk to your device but still offer protection from minor surface scratches that your device gets from everyday use.

Just because you've now created a custom skin doesn't mean you can't use any accessories with it. Our skins are designed to allow you to use most third-party accessories.

Now that you have fallen in love with the unlimited possibilities of custom skins it's now time for a change. Our skins feature a nonpermanent backing that allows for goo free removal when you're ready to change.

Mamma-to-be Recommendations

Over the past few weeks I really felt the effects of the pregnancy. My neck pops, my back aches, my feet are looking a little plump. And I have a hard time running around like usual. I really can't complain because I know some women deal with this for months so I guess a few weeks is really not bad when it comes down to it. I managed to find a few items that helped with the aches and discomforts. I highly recommend trying a few of these products out if you are expecting and are experiencing similar pains.

I thought a fun baby shower gift would be an actual gift for the mother. Now buying baby stuff is so fun and normally at a shower you want to buy a cute outfit or something off the registry. But I think when my friends start having babies a great gift might be a few "mommy pregnancy products" and even a gift certificate for a prenatal massage. Massage Envy has a wonderful deal! You can get a prenatal hour massage for $39. I think that would be a fantastic gift for someone!

Here are some other items that I think would be great gifts for expecting mamas:

Belli Motherhood-Skin Smoothing Exfoliator

Belli is a skin care brand from the US that develops products especially for expectant and new mothers. The company takes high safety standards and thorough screening processes to ensure no harmful ingredients in its formulations linked to birth defects.

Maclaren Alleviating Leg Lotion

This leg lotion brings a feeling of lightness to legs that feel heavy, swollen and tired due to pregnancy. Regenerative Rosehip oil is infused with Orange, Mandarin and Patchouli to revive, strengthen and regenerate tired legs and feet.

Mint Herbal Lip Balm by Earth Mama Angel Baby

Made with organic calendula, organic St. John's wort and shea butter in an organic olive oil base, this delicious, toxin-free lip balm is a perfect companion during labor (and later as well). It's cruelty free and artificial preservative-free---NO Parabens! Ensure that the welcoming kiss for your new angel baby is soft and sweet...naturally.

This is seriously SOFT on your lips! It feels fantastic!

Maclaren Connecting Massage Oil

This pure organic massage oil with moisturizing jojoba and regenerating Rosehip, is combined with Orange oil for joy, the calming influence of Lavender and the nurturing quality of Neroli, to create a perfect daily nourishment for body and spirit.

This oil really smells amazing! Erik uses it when he gives me shoulder massages and I use it to rub on my belly!

Maclaren Balancing Facial Mist

This is MY FAVORITE PRODUCT that I have used so far. Even the hubby sprays his face every night. You can use your facial mist at any time during the day to hydrate your skin and balance your emotions. Just hold the bottle several inches away from your face, spritz and inhale the benefits of the aromatherapy blend. It is Certified organic and safe for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. It is SOOOO soothing. I am trying to save some to use at the hospital during labor. I really LOVE this stuff.

Do you all have any items that helped soothe the pregnancy pains? If so, I would love to hear about them.
