Shabby Apple is an online boutique of women’s fashions, including dresses, skirts, blouses, jewelry, accessories, and more. I have been eyeing their store for some time now, and along with losing weight, comes a little more confidence, especially in what I wear.

Growing up, I always wanted to wear glasses, because I thought it was “cool”. Now that I need to wear glasses, not so much. Thankfully, I also have the option to wear contact lenses, instead.

Please tell me I am not alone when it comes to not having any luck with cell phones and kids? I mean, I know now-a-days there are a ton of apps that are geared just for kids, to play on your phone, but it doesn’t mean that they should be left unattended with them. Right? [...]

Many of you have heard people talk about Unreal Candy recently. Which is funny, since Mamavation is all about health and fitness. But let’s get real, we’re women and we like to indulge at times.
