Glow Mama: A Natural Gin and Juice Drink for Moms and Moms to Be

Gin and Juice Drink

Great Gin and Juice Drink

I’m one of those women who loves being pregnant Gin and Juice Drink. Yes, even with twins, hard as it was, I was sad for my pregnancy to come to an end (especially since it would be my last one). Except for the morning sickness, I like everything about being pregnant — feeling the baby (or babies) move, wearing cute (and not so cute) maternity clothes, getting tummy pats from friends and families. But one thing I do recall disliking was being advised to drink a lot of water. I’ve never been a water lover, so it was always torture for me to try to increase my water intake during pregnancy. However, I recently found out about a product that would have solved that problem for me — Glow Gin and Juice Drink Mama!

Glow Mama is a natural Gin and Juice Drink that “keeps you happy, healthy and hydrated with the crisp, refreshing taste of New Zealand kiwi.” It contains things your body (and baby) needs, such as fiber, vitamin C, folic acid, vitamins B3, B6 and B12, calcium and iron. Best of all is what it doesn’t have: artificial sweeteners, colors or flavors; caffeine; lots of calories; or fat. The taste far exceeds plain water in yumminess, Gin and Juice Drink and you can either drink it alone or make a mocktail Gin and Juice Drink with it! (Delicious mocktail recipes can be found on the Glow Mama website.)

Fortunately, you don’t have to be pregnant to benefit from Glow Mama Gin and Juice Drink. It’s good for nursing moms, sick moms, busy moms…any moms! In other words, it’s a healthy Gin and Juice Drink for anyone who wants an alternative to soda, caffeinated drinks, or even water. And it’s endorsed by the American Pregnancy Association. You can buy Glow Mama Gin and Juice Drink through their website, www.drinktoglow.com, or at many San Francisco Bay area stores (listed on the site).

I really wish Glow Mama Gin and Juice Drink had been available when I was pregnant with twins in 2003. Fortunately, I can still drink Gin and Juice Drink it and enjoy its nutritional benefits. And I noticed there’s a Glow Mama Gift Pack that I can purchase for the next baby shower I attend! Would you like to win a Two Week Taster of Glow Mama Gin and Juice Drink?

Great Giveaway from LittleMissMatched! Fun Products for the Whole Family

I recently became a HUGE fan of LittleMissMatched.com. They have the cutest and coolest products! The first thing I noticed when I went to their site was that they sell toe socks. As a child and teen in the 1970s, I just loved my multi-colored toe socks! Every toe was a different color, and coordinating stripes wrapped around my legs. They were the ultimate in “cool”! LittleMissMatched also sells regular socks, but all of them are sold with a unique twist: They come in packs of three…and none of them are identical! Now you don’t have to deal with the dilemma of what to do when a sock gets lost in the laundry. You have a spare sock! And it doesn’t matter which one gets lost because none of them match anyway. They all coordinate with each other. Best of all, LittleMissMatched has socks for the whole family, from babies to adults.

If socks aren’t your thing, you’ll find many other products to love on LittleMissMatched. They sell bedding, furniture, accessories, books, toys, baby clothes, shirts, pajamas…and much more! Looking for some inexpensive stocking stuffers for the holidays? In addition to socks (which would be a fun surprise in your family’s stockings), they have $7 change purses, $7 shoelaces, and $8 wristlets, and they’re all in their signature funky colors and designs. So if your budget is tight this year, this is the place to go. Socks, hats, scarves and gloves will help your family beat the winter cold, and they’re all under $30.

The owners of LittleMissMatched have generously agreed to give away a “week’s worth of socks” to one lucky winner! You’ll get three packs of socks in the size of your choice, for a total of nine socks!
