Monday Night Live Giveaways with Kymaro Jeans 2/22 10 PM EST #LiveGive

Filed under Live Giveaway
Have you ever put on a pair of jeans that fit absolutely perfect until you notice the muffin top. You know that awful bulge at the top of your jeans. Kymaro the shapewear company has come out with new Curve Control Jeans. The Kymaro curve control jean has a higher waist and is made of a stretchy material which allows it to shape and contour your stomach into a much more flattering silhouette. I received a pair of Kymaro jeans to try out and was really impressed with how flattering the fit is. If you have wanted to wear a more fitted jean but worried about muffin top Kymaro jeans are your answer. Here are some more of the slimming features of the Curve Control jean from the website This special denim weave contours to your body, the same way
shape wear holds you in, but this is all jean. The Curve Control ® Jeans will shape you and mold to your body lifting your bottom, flattening your stomach, making you look and feel your best. A higher rise and a stretchy waistband accommodates a fuller midsection, eliminating “muffin” tops. Smooth fabric around the hips and thighs magically make you look pounds thinner. The back pockets are bigger and placed in the center of each cheek to make the derriere look smaller, flatter, and fierce. The dark even wash has a streamlining effect on your legs, and the tummy panel stitching holds in the lower abdomen. Also, the outer seam sits more to the front of the thigh to make your legs look long and thin.
I really liked the way the Curve Control Jeans looked on me, they are not a thick denim because they have more spandex which is how they are so flattering. I can’t wait to wear mine with a sweater dress and boots to get that legging look! I will be giving away 5 pairs of Kymaro Curve Control Jeans on Monday 2/22 at 10 pm EST on Twitter during the #LiveGive party. In order to be eligible to win prizes be sure and RSVP with your Twitter name on this post, then make sure and tweet with the #LiveGive hashtag during the party HERE. Of course be sure to follow me @ThriftyChicMom during the party!

If you know me very well than you know I LOVE DR PEPPER!!!! It is my absolute favorite drink, Dr Pepper is my coffee. I have one a day to get me going in the morning and some days another to keep me going! I am not a very brand loyal person but Dr Pepper is the exception to the rule. I drink Dr Pepper so much the Princess referred to Dr Pepper as mommy’s juice, she once told my sister in law she could not have any of mommy’s juice when she tried to have one. Even at 2 1/2 my daughter knew how much I love Dr.Pepper. So to say I am excited to be teaming up with Dr Pepper would be a gross understatement. Have you seen the fabulous celebrity commercials Dr Pepper has been airing? They will have a Dr Pepper commercial airing during the Super Bowl so keep an eye out for it. Have you tried the new Cherry Dr Pepper (I find it delicious but nothing beats the original Dr Pepper). Join me at 10 pm EST ( that’s right I moved it to 10 pm EST to help out all you west coasters who want to party with us!) go HERE to join the fun and talk about the worlds best pop Dr.Pepper!
Of course since it is a Live Giveaway I will have 4 Dr Pepper prize packs to giveaway.

Boon Fli and Peep Giveaway #LiveGive

Filed under Giveaway, Live Giveaway
Boon is one of my favorite brands for innovative baby products, I own the Flair high chair and I adore it and now Boon has infiltrated my nursery. Boon just released two fabulous new mobiles the wall mounted Peep and the ceiling mounted Fli. Both are fun whimsical mobiles that will delight your children. My 2 and 4 year old loved the Fli dragonfly’s so much we hung them from the ceiling in the play room. Every child who enters the room is delighted by the floating pink and blue dragonflies. The Peep dangles adorable baby chicks above my daughter’s head and captures her attention. Both of these are fabulous additions to any nursery or play room.
I have one Fli ($24.99)and one Peep ($29.99) to giveaway on Monday 2/1 during #LiveGive on Twitter. The party will start at 9Pm EST and in order to qualify you must first leave a comment on this post telling me which other Boon product you like and your Twitter name , then tweet away with the hashtag #LiveGive and follow me @ThriftyChicMom. I will draw a winner randomly from those who have tweeted with the hashtag during the party on Monday. For Complete rules and instructions go HERE.
I received free product in order to provide my honest opinion, all opinions are my own.
Britax Chaperone Carseat Giveaway #LiveGive
January 29, 2010 by Ellen
Filed under Giveaway, Live Giveaway
When moms hear the name Britax they immediately think quality. Britax is known as one of the highest ranking makers of car seats and their is a reason, they make fantastic car seats. The Britax Chaperone infant carrier is the first car seat your child will ever need. It fits infants from 4-30 lbs and up to 32 inches. It is rear facing and comes with side impact protection and a rebound bar on the base. This car seat is fantastic, I have had 2 other infant car seats before this and I love this one the best. This car seat is much safer than anything I have owned and much easier to install. With the built in Lock -Off system to help make instillation a breeze it really is simple to install and leveling the base is just as easy. In the past I have dreaded the idea of moving the base when I needed the car seat in another car, now it is so easy I don’t mind at all. The Chaperone is compatible with not only the Chaperone stroller but most other strollers as well, it comes with an adapter strap to make it work with most strollers. I have a Bumbleride Indie Twin and it works perfect with it. Another feature I love about this car seat is how easy it is to adjust. Their is no re-threading of the straps and they are easy to loosen or tighten to get baby in and out with ease. Overall I think this is a fantastic car set, my only complaint is the weight, this is a very heavy car seat. After owning lighter car seats I think the extra safety features and convenience of use make it worth the extra weight.
I will be giving away a Britax Chaperone car seat ( $229) on Monday 2/1 during #LiveGive on Twitter. The party will start at 9Pm EST and in order to qualify you must first leave a comment on this post telling me which pattern of the Chaperone you like the best and your Twitter name , then tweet away with the hashtag #LiveGive and follow me @ThriftyChicMom. I will draw a winner randomly from those who have tweeted with the hashtag during the party on Monday. For Complete rules and instructions go HERE.
