Preschool: A Love, Hate Relationship

Every Monday, Wenesday, and Friday morning, my four-year old wakes up crying because she doesn't want to go to school.  She assures me that it is boring and she will miss me too much.  She tries to get out of it for an hour straight each day without fail.  She pulls out her saddest faces with tears in her eyes.  Then as we pull up to her school, the frown disappears and the happy girl takes her place.  She gets out of the car with the help of her teacher, says bye, and skips her way to class.  After school, she talks excitedly about her day and about all the fun she had.  She LOVES school...at least until the next morning.

ShaToBu Review and Giveaway


I know some of you right now are saying, “What is ShaToBu”?   ShaToBu is simply, the workout you wear.   How many of us don’t have a little bulge here or there that we liked to hide (or just get rid of)?  I know my stubborn sides could desperately use some work.  The ShaToBu  shapewear claims to slim your figure, while toning muscles and burning calories.  With these fabulous claims, you know I had to check it out for myself. 

Here’s what the company says about their product:

ShāToBu™ is the Workout You Wear

Independent scientific studies from the University of Virginia show that women who wear ShaToBu during daily activities burn UP TO 12% MORE calories during daily activities like walking or climbing stairs.
With the modern woman's hectic schedule it can be hard to find time to get to the gym, but with ShaToBu, women can fit a workout into their daily routine while enjoying a more shapely silhouette!

How DOES ShāToBu™ Work?

ShaToBu is based on the principle of resistance training. This simple, ingenious technology uses seamless resistance bands to make muscles work a little harder during natural movement, like walking or climbing stairs, while remaining comfortable underneath your clothes.
Non-binding, stay-in-place waist and leg bands prevent marking, bulging and rolling.
ShaToBu is made of Nylon and Lycra with overall moisture-wicking properties, and a cotton CoolMax gusset, to keep you cool and comfortable.
Easy enough to wear every day (and even replace underwear), ShaToBu offers a smooth route to a better-looking you!

ShaToBu offers five different styles of Shapewear.  I chose to review the High Waist to Knee, which retails for $58.  You can find the other styles HERE.  My first thought when I opened the package was, “How in the world am I going to get that thing on?!?”  But of course, then I realized it had to be tight in order for it to do its job.  Once I got it on, it took me awhile to get use to the feel, but then I forgot I was wearing it.  My ShaToBu never slips during the day.  It stays exactly where you put it.  I love that I can now wear a fitted shirt without belly rolls showing.  I also am more conscious of what I’m eating. When your stomach has nowhere to go, you won’t be eating as much either.  So not only am I burning 12% more calories that I would without the garment, I am also encouraged to eat less throughout the day.  I may be ready for this marathon after all! 
If you would like more information about ShaToBu, including the studies done at the University of Virginia, please visit shatobu.com.
Buy it:  You can buy your own ShaToBu shapewear from between $34 - $59.
Win it:  Thanks to the generous people from ShaToBu, one lucky reader from Between the Lines can win their choice of styles.

She's at it again...losing teeth that is!


I love this cute, awkward stage. 

Recipe Corner: Pumpkin Bread

I recently received a bread machine from CSN Stores (review to come) and I have been trying out many different recipes.  So far my favorite is this pumpkin bread recipe.  Of course, with everything I bake, I added more cinnamon.  If you have any great bread machine recipes and you don't mind sharing, I'd love to try them out.  I hope you all enjoy this one.

Softlips Pure 100% Natural Review and Giveaway

With the cold weather quickly approaching, I am so excited to introduce you to Softlips Pure 100% Natural line of Lip Butter, Lip Gloss, Tinted Lip Gloss, and Lip Polish.  Just as my hands take a beating during the winter months, so do my lips.  With Softlips, chapped and cracked lips are a thing of the past.  Softlips keeps your lips soft while protecting them from the sun. 

Softlips® offers a complete line of lip care products with a perfect blend of style and function to keep lips soft, moisturized, beautiful and healthy. Known for its unique slim stick design, the brand has an array of flavored lip balms with SPF 20 and a new line of natural lip care products made with 100% natural ingredients - including a certified organic lip balm line. Softlips® now adds a touch of color, with tinted balms and light glosses that go with every skin tone.
I love the Softlips Tinted Lip Balms.  They provide moisture and protection with just a hint of color.  The Tinted Lip Balms come in three different colors: Shell Pink, Natural Honesty, and Coral Charm.  I love that I now always have a shade to match any outfit or mood.  The Tinted Lip Balms go on smooth and provide a light shimmer.  They do not feel heavy or greasy. 

If you are looking to add a little extra shine, you are going to love Softlips’ Tinted Lip Gloss.  The Tinted Lip Gloss is offered in the same shades as the Tinted Lip Balm, but with a beautiful glossy shine.   I love that the Lip Gloss feels smooth and doesn’t leave you with a sticky feeling.  I also like the design of the applicator.  Often lip gloss wand applicators can get funky and old.  The plastic applicator allows you to have a fresh, clean use every time. 

The last two products I reviewed were the Softlips Pure 100% Natural Lip Butter and the Lip Polish.  I must admit that these were my favorite of the entire line.  The Lip Butter is so creamy and the flavor/scent is Raspberry Vanilla (2 of my favorites).  It also contains natural SPF 15 protection with zinc oxide to protect your lips from the sun.  The Lip butter is perfect for anyone looking to repair and protect your lips without a tint.  The Lip Polish is made of organic coconut flakes and sugar leaves that gently exfoliate your lips.  It felt a little weird the first time I used it, but after I felt how soft it made my lips, I was hooked.
Buy it:  You can buy any of these wonderful products from around $3.99 – $5.99 at many local retail stores, including Target and Wal-mart. 
Win it:  Thanks to the generous people at Softlips, one lucky reader of Between the Lines is going to win One SET of SoftLips 100% Pure Natural Line!
Mandatory Entry:  “Like” Softlips on Facebook and come back and leave a comment saying you did so.  (This entry must be completed in order for extra entries to count.  Winner must verify Facebook name.  Please leave email address so I can contact you if you win.)
