Review: I jumped at the chance to review this book.  After having two children your body is never the same shape as it once was.  I have read tips here and there about what you should and shouldn't wear based on your body type.  How to Never Look Fat Again is broken into 16 different chapters each one focusing on a different area of the body or clothing them.  This book will provide you with over 1,000 ways to dress thinner.

In reading How to Never Look Fat Again I realized that I was violating some of the "vows."  These are located at the end of each chapter and provide a summary of things you "will do" in order to never look fat again!  Charla Krupp includes photos of a women wearing a high fat and no fat outfit.  I liked being able to see the tips she provides put into action.  There are lots of great (and easy) tips to help you look great with the clothes you already own and you can make the changes by tonight!  While it is always important to eat right and get the appropriate amount of exercise How to Never Look Fat Again helps you to look good and feel good in your clothes.

You can keep up with Charla Krupp on twitter and Facebook.

Me Time, Positive Day – Peaceful Night Review & Giveaway

Me time, what is that?  With two little ones at home it's hard to find even just a few minutes for myself.  We are go, go, go all day long and I also find it hard to wind down in the evenings.  Me Time, Positive Day – Peaceful Night is a CD that can be used to energize you in the morning or calm you down in the evening.

This CD is authored and narrated by Suzanne Jessee.  She has a very soothing voice that does not distract from the purpose of the CD.  There is also a guide included which provides tips on how to maximize the Me Time, Positive Day – Peaceful Night CD.

As busy Moms we rarely set aside "me time" but it is so important.  We need to be rejuvenated daily so we can care for our families.  Me Time, Positive Day – Peaceful Night will do just that!  Track 1 will help you start your day off in a positive way.  You may want to turn it on before you get out of bed or listen to it while you are getting ready.  You will find yourself feeling much better after the 14 minutes with Suzanne.  After listening to this CD a few times I found that I approached my day more calm and collected.  Track 2 will help you to relax in the evenings with the peaceful sounds.  If you are able to put the CD in while trying to go to sleep, you will be drifting away before it's over!  Suzanne helps you to clear your mind some the craziness of the day so your body can relax and you can get the sleep you need.  The 3rd track is 30 minutes of peaceful, soothing music.  If you are able to play this track which the kids are taking a nap or while you are on the computer you will find it much more relaxing than watching the television or talking on the phone. 


 Buy It: You can purchase Me Time, Positive Day – Peaceful Night and other great products on Suzanne Jessee's website.

Win it: 1 Lucky Coupon Clippin' Mommy reader will win a copy of Me Time, Positive Day – Peaceful Night.

Corked By Kathryn Borel Review

About: Meet Kathryn Borel, bon vivant and undutiful daughter. Now meet her father, Philippe, former chef, eccentric genius, and wine aficionado extraordinaire. Kathryn is like her father in every way but one: she's totally ignorant when it comes to wine. And although Philippe has devoted untold parenting hours to delivering impassioned oenological orations, she has managed to remain unenlightened. But after an accident and a death, Kathryn realizes that by shutting herself off to her father's greatest passion, she will never really know him.

Review: This book did not fit in with my typical reads but I am a huge Daddy's girl so I thought it would be cool to read about the father daughter relationship in this book.  I did find the relationship interesting and at time humorous.  Corked was a good read that wasn't too rich in the language of wine.  Kathryn is very honest about the trip and her feelings towards her father.  The personality clash between her and her father make for an interesting read. 


Buy it:You can purchase Corked from Amazon and many other retailers.
