    Whether you’re looking for a holiday gift for moms-to-be, rounding up items for a virtual baby shower in an age of social distancing or just looking for some unique new baby items, I wanted to share the Born for the Chisme onesie with you.

    This onesie is a favorite for fans of The Certified Mama’s Boy Podcast! The phrase is coined by the award-winning morning show host and podcaster Steve Kramer making it perfect for moms and mamas-to-be who love a good gossip sesh with the girls!

    Chisme means “gossip” in Spanish and this 100% cotton onesie is sure to put a smile on everyone’s face whether as a gift for someone or as part of a cute outfit mom picks out for her baby on her own.

    Kramer developed the apparel line in unison with his podcast earlier this year after finding his gift for vulnerability and authenticity can impact people for good, for insight, for growth. With a mission to make people, “live, laugh and love your Mom,” he called on his own mother to co-host his show.

    While this onesie is one of the newest items in his collection, the host has also released “Rosé & Chisme” wine glasses, mugs and high-quality apparel for men, women and kids.

    New South of France Hand and Body Creams Make Moisturizing into a French Countryside Fragrance Experience

    South of France Natural Body Care is launching a line of hydrating hand and body creams which combine natural ingredients with complex scents to evoke the landscapes and villages of the French countryside. Available in two scents — Climbing Wild Rose and Violet Bouquet — these super moisturizing creams, when combined with South of France cleansers, provide a unique “scentsory” experience that lingers for several hours.

    South of France is one of the top-selling brands of all-natural bar soaps at grocery and health food stores because of its evocative scents and rich lather that doesn’t dry out skin,” says Katherine Jarnigo, co-owner of South of France Natural Body Care. “These new hand and body creams bring the vibrant, floral fragrances of our soaps and hand washes to the moisturizing step in your skincare regimen.”

    The unique formula of the hand and body creams ensures they absorb quickly and leave skin silky to the touch, without any oil residue. Ingredients include Fair Trade Certified organic shea butter and cocoa butter, as well as coconut, sunflower and sweet almond oils.

    New South of France hand and body creams are available in two scents – Climbing Wild Rose and Violet Bouquet

    Thicker and richer than conventional moisturizing lotions, South of France hand and body creams require fewer applications than traditional moisturizers to leave skin soft and soothed. They are certified animal cruelty-free, non-GMO, gluten-free and vegan. They are also free of all sulfates, phthalates, paragons, EDTA and colorants.

    The hand and body creams are available in 8-ounce tubes with easy-to-dispense flip top caps and 1-ounce tubes with screw caps for when you’re on-the-go. The suggested retail price for the 8-ounce product is $10.99.

    Cool products for your car

     

    You don’t have to be driving around in the newest model of a sports car to feel amazing in your ride. There are easy (and relatively cheap) upgrades that you can invest in to make any car instantly cooler.

    It’s important that any modifications or add-ons you choose for your vehicle are legal and don’t cause a distraction, which could lead to a car accident. It’s much more important to be safe than to look good; however, if you ever are involved in a collision, speak to a Greenville car accident lawyer.

    A license plate bottle opener
    Obviously, this bottle opener that fits perfectly on your license plate shouldn’t be used for any alcohol for the driver, but it will certainly make you popular at any parking lot parties, and even allow you to open an ice-cold glass bottle of Coke on a hot day – perfection.

    Car headrest pillow
    If you’re someone who drives a lot, you might find that your car seat can get pretty uncomfortable. Invest in these comfortable headrest pillows for a little more support during those long road trips.

    Solar-powered coaster lights
    Put these handy lights into your cup holders, and when it gets dark, they’ll light up in neon color and look amazing. They’re not too bright to cause an issue, but look great when you put a bottle on top, and the light shines through.

    Car mats
    As standard, the mats you tend to get with a car are just standard-issue black mats that seem to show up all of the dirt, dust, and debris. There are so many other options available to buy to make your car seem a little bit fancier and show off your own personal style.

    A mini air diffuser
    The only thing better than a car that looks good is one that smells good too! Most car air diffusers plug into your cigarette lighter and take up about the same space as a travel mug. Choose a scent that makes you happy, and switch it up seasonally, but stay away from lavender as that will make you sleepy!

    A cigarette lighter multi USB plug
    Being able to charge your phone while you drive is a huge benefit, especially if you are using it for music or directions. Invest in a multiplug with several USB slots, to allow your friends to all charge their phones too.

    Colorful car seat covers
    Not only do the car seat covers help protect your seats from crumbs and stains, but they can also really brighten up your interiors and have your car looking brand new, even if the seats underneath are a little worn out.

    An air freshener
    The original car accessory – you can get air fresheners in many different scents and with designs on from your favorite sports team to TV themed ones.

    So whether you’ve got a brand new ride, or you’re still driving your first beat-up truck, these accessories can really make your car cool.

    Energy Driven Mask Launch w/ Healing Stones+5 Steps to Safe Covid Dating by an Ordained Minister

    Rev. Gillian V Harris, M.S.P., a Metaphysical Consultant, Minister and Intention Coach who performs Conscious Decoupling Ceremonies, has developed achecklist for safe pandemic-era dating and launched ‘Energy Driven’ masks promoting conscious use of words, images, colors, precious gems and crystals as part of mask etiquette & wardrobeBelow are some more tid bits on her recent developments:

    The Mask Diva:

    Whether a mask is lined, filtered, has a wire nose bridge, just as important are the energy factors that play into the creation of our lives. Use thegems to accessorize your mask, lift your mood and assist in your manifestations.

    Color, for instance: “Blue is communication, Self Expression, Safety… The darker the blue the more authoritative it and the more sterile it becomes. The lighter the blue, the warmer and more tranquil it becomes. There’s also green in the hue: a heart chakra color; compassion, gravity toward positivity while negativity is dissolved. The image of regal stature of royal blue is real. The stone Turquoise takes on these color qualities but also enhances the journey to self-realization, inner wisdom, exercising will-power and speaking one’s truth with grace and ease!”

    LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS:

    • Created a ‘Covid-19 era Coupling Agreement’ for people to use with each other to trigger quality conversation and consideration about whether sex is in the cards for them right now.
    • Launched a survey to learn how many are willing to take a chance and touch despite Covid-19.
    • List of suggestions on how to turn the tide on the growing touch deprivation happening as a result of Covid-19 and ways people are getting ahealthy amount of touch while avoiding the pandemic. 
    • 5 Steps to Safe Covid-Era Dating by an Ordained Minister with a Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology. 

    1. Identify a covid-19 conscious person with whom you share mutual attraction 
    2. Get tested for COVID if you have not done so already.
    3. Share the results of your negative testing with your partner. When you get a covid-19 test, the information is emailed to you and you can show this to them on your phone or computer.
    4. Sign The Covid-Era Coupling Agreement
    5. Revisit agreement at 30, 90 and 180 day marks.

    It is possible to connect with another one and forge an alliance that allows for touchy, maskless camaraderie throughout this Covid-19 episode. Touching is mega healthy, increases immune strength AND sex is a whole other level of touch + also has massive benefits for human health emotionally, psychologically and physiologically- a necessity for health, rather than just a pleasure Touch deprivation and its effects are real. The WAY HIGH SUICIDE rate during Covid-19 is also real. The high rate of Covidaphobia to the point of needing emergency psychological assistance/hospitalized treatment and observation is also real. What if there was a way to proceed in a healthy fashion? ENTER conscious creation of small tribes.

    You Need to Enjoy These Popsicles Before The Cold Days Come

    No girl that I know will refuse an ice cream. We always say girls have a second stomach for desserts. I totally agree with that. Instead of paying money to get ice cream at a dessert store. Let’s make healthy and delicious popsicles at home with Addictive Wellness.

    There are certain laws in nature that nobody should argue with. One of them being “Chocolate is good but DOUBLE chocolate is TWICE as good!” This is just math and nobody could argue with such basic principal.

    Double Chocolate Marble Popsicle

    let’s make this Double Chocolate Marble magical popsicle!

    Step 1. Take 13 oz of coconut cream that was kept cold in the fridge.
    Step 2. Add 1 tsp of Addictive Wellness Astragalus, 1 tsp of Addictive Wellness Pine Pollen, 1 Tbsp of Addictive Wellness Tremella Mushroom and 10 drops of stevia.

    Step 3. Blend this adaptogen-fortified delicious cream on high till smooth.

    Step 4. Drizzle in 1 bar of melted Addictive Wellness Beauty Chocolate.

    Step 5. Gently marble the cream and spoon it all into popsicle molds.

    Step 6. Once frozen, dip it into melted chocolate again and let is set.


    That’s it! So easy and sinfully, deeply delicious… Don’t forget to share!

    Pine Pollen & Mango Popsicles

    It is not exactly a confession since who doesn’t love those sweet treats on a hot, steamy day? But I only love popsicles that are not hiding a chemical sh*t-storm. Let’s see what go into this delicious experiment.
    • 3 ripe, perfect mangos
    • 2 teaspoon of raw local unfiltered wildflower honey

    Blended it all up, poured the smooth puree into a popsicle maker and let your freezer do the rest of the work! The decorative dips are shredded coconut, plus white and black sesame seeds.

    Time To Plan For A Healthy Holiday Season

    Holiday season is full of happiness, love and laugh. But at the same time, it is also fully packed with tons of snacks and foods! Snacking for a happy reason is not in the guilty field, especially if you snack on healthy foods. Now it’s the time to shop for a healthy holiday season. Let me introduce Paleonola to you and your family.

    Founded upon the belief that choosing the right foods could have a major impact on your health and well-being, Paleonola was born out of the need for change in our lives. They pride themselves on being as real as the food they make. This prompted the burning desire for transparency in all of the ingredients they use. Everything they make is listed on the label and there’s no mystery ingredients or natural flavors to hide. Paleonola uses the best of what Mother Nature has to offer. Paleonola’s belief in real food has allowed them to develop some of the best tasting granola available today.

    Pick a bag of Paleonola and put into Santa’s stockings, they are the perfect size as stocking stuffers and of course, they are so healthy and yummy to make your family happy. You can check out Paleonola’s website to see a lot of recipes that you can make this snack to holiday desserts.

    What? You want something smaller as stocking stuffers? No worries, Paleonola’s snack bars will totally fit into a smaller stocking, and they are awesome to snack on when you and your family are opening the Christmas presents or watching a holiday movie. Let’s see what we have here.

    Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Bar

    It’s like a brownie collided with the perfect amount of sea salt. This Dark Chocolate Sea Salt protein bar packs 9 grams of protein into every bar and has a rich, dark chocolate taste. Perfect notes of sea salt hit the buds at just the right time. Not overpowering just plain delicious. Made with cage-free egg whites and real food ingredients, Paleonola pushed the limits of what was possible when it comes to what a protein bar should taste like.

    Chocolate Chip Bar

    There’s something so special about the way a cookie melts in your mouth during that first bite and before you know it, it’s all gone. Paleonola’s Chocolate Chip protein bar comes with all the flavor and none of the guilt. Made from real food ingredients like almonds and unsweetened chocolate it will be there when you need it most to curb that cookie craving and with 9 grams of protein in every bar you can spend less time thinking about what’s inside the bar and more time focusing on the things you love.
    Almond Butter & Jelly Bar
    Paleonola admits, this one took the team FOR-EV-ER to get just right, but it was well worth the wait. Our childhood addiction wouldn’t let give up and led the Paleonola team to create a bar that was both convenient and delicious. Since it’s kind of difficult to stick a sandwich in your pocket we thought it might be a good idea to take the creamy taste of almond butter and mix it with REAL raspberries. Not too sweet, it satisfies that tart craving while providing a nice crunch too. With 9 grams of protein it’s more than just a sweet treat it’s a balanced powerhouse.
    If you want to wrap them all as a gift, here is something you can find at Paleonola’s website – A Bar Sampler Pack!

    Almond Butter and Jelly: a take on a childhood favorite. Creamy almond butter matched with raspberry sweetness and a gentle hint of tart, make this a surefire sandwich swap.

    Chocolate Chip: old faithful. Cookies beware it’s coming for your title as “the classic favorite.” Clean chocolate chips tossed with crunchy nibs and smooth almond butter make us the top-shelf winner.

    Dark Chocolate Sea Salt: a little bit of this and a little bit of that. It can be hard to choose and sometimes you just want someone to do it for you. So here ya go. This salty and sweet combo hits all the right taste buds. Melts in your mouth, not in your pocket.

    Sample pack Contains 2 of each bar.
