Preggers Leggings and Giveaway

Ihave to say the best part of my outfits for work is my leggings. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't wear them!  I have a pair in every color and sometimes duplicate pairs....I wear one every day, and it looks fashionable and keeps my legs warm.
But some days, I am on my feet for over 12 hours - I am tired, and my legs are just plain sore.  What's a girl to do?!  I started buying compression hose, but they aren't that flattering and just not as cute or stylish.  I don't want to just wear granny hose. 


Therafirm has introduced a line of compression pantyhose/socks/leggings called Preggers specifically for maternity wear.  I usually equate compression hose with aged people, but Preggers seems to add a sense of fun to sore and swollen legs! (Who knew such a thing could exist!) 

Since I have yet to carry a ba-bay, I never really thought about pregnant women wearing compression hose.  Yes. You're carrying extra weight and may have swelling, so this product totally makes sense! Since I am on my feet all day - I thought, Hey Why not give it a try?! The package claims the stocking/leggings will help improve circulation, prevent swelling, and energize tired legs and feet - which I have both. 



Preggers hose has a special top to fit over your baby bump.  It's very stretchy so the pair will still fit as your grow, and you can fold it under your belly or wear it over it to take advantage of the built-in tummy support.  Since I am not carrying a baby, but added pounds (awesome. please sense the sarcasm), I just folded over the top. 


I found Preggers to be really tight and a little more difficult to put on then regular pantyhose or tights. I tried the footless tights($24.95), and once I got them on though, they were comfortable and I really liked that they have smooth seams.  
Preggers has a variety of compression products on their website.  They come in a variety of fashionable colors like aubergine and cocoa.  I picked the aubergine - which is a purplely brown.  





Buy It: You can purchase these pantyhose at  Preggers for $24.95 or at a few select retailers listed on the website.

Fantasy Magic and Fun in your living room

On rainy days like this, there is nothing I would rather do then sit around with my husband and watch movies.     The Not so perfect House wife is giving away a Disney movie called The Black Cauldron.

 Giving away a movie?!  Oh the thought of winning it and watching it today makes my heart flutter!

 Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the movie, Disney re-released it on DVD.  I vaguely remember watching with my younger brother, but I am tempted now to go and rent it to relive my childhood!I  Stop by Not So Perfect Housewife's site and check it out!

Give me a Smile and I'll give you a cookie - Smiley Cookie Review &Giveaway

I had the pleasure of tasting Smiley Cookies..and just by looking at them, what's not to love?

Smiley Cookie Craze
Smiley Cookie offers fresh-made, hand iced sugar cookies with a smile through the mail.  Not only can you order a dozen faces online and have it shipped anywhere, but you can order specialty cookies - whether it's for Halloween, Christmas, baby news, or just because - Smiley Cookie has a million smiles to send.  (And I would eat a million!)

  Eat-N-Park,  a restaurant that is not located anywhere I live, decided that besides offering food - they would start marketing their sugary treats to the world through use of the internet.  SmileyCookie has been generous enough to send me a dozen cookies to sample.  When I heard the news, I waited every day for the mailman to deliver me my sugar fix.  Luckily, I didn't have to wait long - as they shipped out immediately.

Looks-wise: Can we say super cute? I couldn't help but smile when I opened up the bland UPS box, and saw the cookie box decorated in smiles. Yes, I smiled right back.  I quickly opened the cookie container and fixed my eyes on the prize.  The cookie. It was completely cute!

Taste-wise: This sugar cookie can rival other cookies in the store. It tasted yummy, and the icing was just sweet enough! If you are going to send someone a gift of food, why not send them cookies?  Starting at 12.99 for a dozen cookies, you can't beat it!

What I love the most about this company is the variety of how to send a gift!  They have a wide array of gift packages, and one of my favorite design is the Pirate Smiley face.  Arrrrrr-n't you excited?

They also offer cookie gift baskets (umm...hello? who WOULDN'T want that!) for all different occasions. If you are sending someone a gift for a baby, why not send them cookies -and what's neat is the gift package comes with other gifts...The baby boy gift basket not only contains 36 mini (baby!) cookies, but also a bib that says: "I've got the milk...you bring the cookies".  How clever!

All in all, Smiley Cookie left me with a full belly and a happy face!







So now that I have gone on and on about these sugary cookies, why not try some for yourself?  Simply sign up for their email club and receive a $5 off coupon.  (you can find the sign up form in the bottom right of their homepage)  Or, you can enter my very first giveaway!!! I am giving away a box of smiley cookies just like the one I received.
