Boob Tubes are great for softening the skin on and around your breasts, chest and even arms. After a few weeks, even days, of consistent use, you’ll notice your skin doesn’t just feel smoother, it looks smoother. I’ve shared a lot about Boob Tube and other Mama Mio products in the past, and you can read my reviews here.

Thanks to Mama Mio for donating the product for this giveaway. It was part of their Breast Cancer Campaign, where proceeds from purchases of Boob Tube made during the month of October were donated to Breast Cancer Awareness.

I was desperate. I swear I spent more money on OTC creams, lotions and potions. I talked to pharacists, doctors, moms. Nothing was working. And I didn’t want to try anything perscription because I’m breastfeeding. And then I got an e-mail from MammaMio about their new O-Mega Wonder-full Balm, packed with O-Mega vitamins and natural oils. I read the subject line: “Fix Fried Flip Flop Feet.” It was August. I felt my feet. Yeah. Fried was a good way to describe them. And if something can fix them, surely it can fix my patches. Right?

I tried it, of course I did. Its like the thickest Vaseline you’ve ever touched. Like beeswax. Plus, it smells much better than Vaseline and its less greasy. It goes on smoother than some of the baby products I was trying out (yes, I even tried products made for babies).  After about a week my fried feet were feeling more smooth (it took a little longer than a week to feel unfried) and my patches weren’t painful. Eventually, after loading Wonder-full on at least twice a day, my patches disappeared.

I’m so totally hooked on this stuff. I now use it on my hands and while it starts out a tad greasy, its totally swallowed by the skin, yet theres moisture left on the outside. When I think about the cold weather we’ve had and the fact that I’m changing infant diapers, all I can think is thank goodness for O-mega Wonder-full Balm. Its a skin saver.

Thanks to MamaMio for providing a sample of O-mega Wonder-full Balm for this review.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Mama Mio is giving away two Boob Tubes to two very lucky MWS newsletter subscribers. Even if you’re not preggo or breastfeeding, you’ll love the difference Boob Tube makes on your chest area.

During the month of October, Mama Mio will donate $1 for each Boob Tube sold at MamaMio.com to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

It looks like I’ll have a tummy-training partner! Neha, we can’t wait to hear how your bootcamp goes, and how much you love Mama Mio!

Bootcamp for Tummies is a great system and can be used pregnant or not, but the results won’t be visible if you are pregnant. So, while I’ve been trying out the system, I can’t yet attest to the results. However, I can vouch for it all the same. The recommended exercises are very similar to Pilates breathing and I was completely hooked on Pilates until I wasn’t allowed to participate. (oh… baby… can’t wait until you’re 6 weeks old and I can get back in there and practice Pilates.)

These exercises do make a difference in your belly. They work the inner stomach muscle (aka your transverse muscle) that is so very difficult to reach, no matter how much of a gym-enthusiast you may be, unless you know how to breathe right. Bootcamp for Tummies teaches you how to breathe correctly to help to get your tummy in shape. Included in the kit are Tummy Toner (which I reviewed in the past) and Mama Mio’s new Get Waisted, which is designed to” eliminate puffiness, tighten your tum, discourage fat deposits and – most importantly – maximize lipolysis. Lipolysis is the way your body breaks down the fat stored in fat cells; giving you slim fat cells and a slimmer silhouette.”

I’m so looking forward to, postnatally, completing a Bootcamp for Tummies (in fact, I plan to do all 3 Bootcamps next fall.) And, because I’ve already tried out Get Waisted and Tummy Toner, I know how simple it will be to add a month of a 4-minutes-a -day series to my morning routine. I’m sure you want to join me.

To help Mommies with Style celebrate our relaunch and to celebrate and introduce our readers to Bootcamp for Tummies, we’re running a giveaway this week.

Here’s how to win your kit of Bootcamp for Tummies (a $135 retail value), its as simple as the bootcamp! Make a comment to this review and tell us two things: 1. which MWS style are you? and 2. pledge to do one month of Bootcamp for Tummies, should you win.

Make sure to include your e-mail address on the comment form (otherwise we can’t contact you to let you know you won). A winner will be selected at random next week and she’ll have 24 hours to reply to our e-mail before an alternate is selected.

Until now. See, at 28 weeks pregnant, I can’t get over the fact that I wasn’t addicted to lush skin care with my previous pregnancies. For pregnancy 1 I think I bought drugstore-quality cocoa butter and shmeared it occasionally. It didn’t do much–so I wasn’t inclined to use it all the time. My itchy skin was dry, it looked drab. With my 2nd pregnancy I don’t think I even tried anything buttery. Probably used the regular lotion that was in Mom’s and Grandmom’s cabinets years ago. If I used anything at all. I got the “line” from my pubic bone to the top of my uterus early with both pregnancies. And thought that was totally normal. The 2nd time around my parched skin was a constant scratch-fest. Almost painful at times.

What I didn’t know did hurt me. You’re lucky, if you’re reading this early. Because I can attest to the fact that there is a difference. Look, I”m not doctor, certainly not a derm, but I can tell you from my experience that using the good stuff (yes, that usually means more expensive) will make a difference.

So, this pregnancy I’ve been trying a lot of different lotions, creams, butters, and systems. And most have their benefits: some are natural, others organic, they use different oils, have different consistencies and scents. And even though I’ve tried and liked many, I’m sticking, happily, with Mama Mio for the remainder of my pregnancy, and beyond. Its what I’ve been using from the beginning and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

My daily routine:

• Moisturizing Shower Cream. I don’t use this every day, but I do try to. It depends on my shower speed and whether or not the kids need their pants buttoned while I”m in there. Its a great start to the routine, and I love using it after I shave on my legs.
• Tummy Rub Butter. I swear this is the sole reason I don’t have the “line” this time. Spreading this all over my belly daily after a shower, I’ve reduced itchiness and my belly skin feels smooth. I also often put this on my inner thighs (my least favorite body part). There’s a noticable difference. At 28 weeks, I’m using the same tub I started using in my first trimester. If I’m lucky it will last throughout the 40 weeks, but I do think I’ll have to replace it before then, as my stomach continues to grow.. Still, the way I slather it on, its pretty impressive its lasted so long.
• Boob Tube. This is a firming cream. My boobs haven’t grown too much this time (sorry, to my husband) but we’re not finished. They’re usually so dry (pregnant or not) and they’re not this spring. I also Boob Tube on my upper arms, neck and chest. Still on my first tube since the first trimester, but my boobs are small. A more average-endowed would probably be on her second tube by now.
• Shrink to Fit. My butt’s not shrinking, but at least its firm. I use this at least once a day on my rear, thighs and knee area. LOVE this stuff and I have had to replace it once already. Likely to do that again, as I expect to use it after the pregnancy is over to shrink me back down.

If you followed my reviews in the fall, you’ll notice that the item I raved about most, Body Buff, isn’t part of my routine. It should be. I still love that and look at it longingly after each routine is over with a “oh, yeah, I forgot to use that!” But with 2 kids who are getting ready for their busy days and a husband who leaves before we all wake up, I’m usually too pressed for time.

So, if you’re shopping skincare for pregnancy, I definitely recommend my faves, but you should check out Mama Mio’s entire Pregnancy Skincare line. There are plenty of products and you should get those best for your needs. They also have great kits available, like the Countdown Kit.

Speaking of kits, and my previous Mama Mio Reviews, I have to mention Bootcamp for Tummies. Its new this month and it was created with the same philosophy as Bootcamp for Butts and Bootcamp for Boobs: the ability to shape your body with minimal work and lots of skincare. Mama Mio is helping us celebrate Mommies with Style’s launch of our new look with the launch of their new Bootcamp next week with a giveaway of a Bootcamp for Tummies kit. Make sure you’re subscribed to our RSS feed (that orangey button on the top right of the screen) to learn about the giveaway next week.
