Review: The “invisibelt”- all belt, no bulk #holidaygiftguide

14 November, 2013 40 Comments

When I first came across the invisibelt, I watched the promotional video and said, “This is genius! I NEED this!” Kathy -the creator of invisibelt- agreed to send me one of their new naked (clear) skinny versions to try out, so I can share my experiences with you.

Have you ever really needed to wear a belt, but opted not to because the belt buckle sticks out, making it look like you have a weird gut or something going on? I have- many times. Perhaps the way your body is shaped, your jeans are loose around the bum. My problem is I like the flexibility of stretch jeans, but by the end of the day, they’ve stretched to the point that they’ll start sagging and falling down.

The belt issue is the worst when I wear a tunic top. Actually, my regular tops are quite long too (have you noticed that’s the style in recent years?), so they’ll cover my belt as well, and then it just looks like I have some strange protrusion right above my pelvis. And as a mother, the last area I want to call attention to is my lower stomach (*ahem* baby pooch).

That’s what I love about my new invisibelt. It’s incredibly slim and virtually undetectable under my shirts. The belt is easy to adjust before wearing, and just clasps together in the front. I usually twist the belt a little, so the clasp is a couple inches off center (the second photo does not show me doing this, however). Having the clasp off center makes the belt lie even more flat.

Check out my photos below, and let me know what you think! I want to apologize for my photos. My hubby’s gone for training, and I have no way to take photos of myself other than my iPhone. The quality’s not so great, but I think you’ll get the idea. :/

Adjustable to fit individual waists, the invisibelt is available in original size (0-14), plus-size (up to 4x), and girls. Choose from the original width or the new skinny width. Multiple colors are available, and right now invisibelt is available in limited edition colors: camo and zebra.

Invisbelt also sells other fashion fixes like: KCUFFS, quick fix sticks, bootywrap, and garment guard. Check them all out at the invisibelt site below, as well as their Facebook page for sales, giveaways, and more!

Review: Chic Baby Changing Bag by Yippydada

16 July, 2013 18 Comments

Yippydada

Yippydada, a baby changing bag company from the UK, sent me one of their stylish diaper bags to review! Yippydada brings glamour to a busy mom’s life by mixing “trendy styles with a high level of functionality” in all their diaper bags.

About:

The Chic Baby Changing bag includes:

matching insulated bottle holder
matching padded change mat
key ring attachment
detachable shoulder strap
wet bag for clothes
dust bag
three exterior pockets
five interior pockets
faux leather

My experiences:

It took me a while to choose this particular bag from Yippydada. I have a weakness for animal prints, so I was really considering the Amore Baby Changing Bag in brown, but I finally settled on the expressionist Chic Baby Changing Bag.

The same day the bag arrived, I took it with me to meet some girlfriends for coffee, and I immediately received compliments! The next day, another friend (also a mother), spotted my bag and thought it was a purse, not a diaper bag. That’s exactly what I was going for.

My philosophy on diaper bags has always been that since I’m the one that carries it all the time, the bag should be fashionable and in colors I like. You’ll never spot me carrying something purely utilitarian! I told my husband if he wants a gender-neutral diaper bag, he can buy his own. 😉

This bag has been holding up beautifully for several weeks now. I’ve taken it to church, barbecues, playground, zoo, day trip to DC, out to eat, shopping malls, and many other places. I get compliments all the time! It’s very roomy. I usually keep my phone and makeup items in the outside pockets where I can access them easily. The inside zip pocket is perfect for my wallet, and I use the four large elasticized interior pockets for diapers, rash cream, hand sanitizer, sun block, etc. The middle of the bag I use for things like toys, spare clothes, cloth wipes, sippy cup, etc.

I love this bag! Click HERE for my video review.

If you’re looking for a new diaper bag, I recommend checking this brand out. They have some gorgeous leather and patent leather bags. Visit Yippydada on the Web, Twitter, and Facebook.

Note: Thank you to Emily Knight Photography for the photos (just the good ones; the bad ones are mine). I received a complimentary diaper bag by Yippydada to review; I was not otherwise compensated for this post. The opinions stated are mine and may differ from yours.
