Mama Mio, what a win!

So, as most of you know by now, I had a baby four months ago. A great, big, whopping baby... which means that my tummy (and hips, and thighs, and...) expanded quite a bit to make way for my gorgeous bubs.

I'm happy to report that I have lost all of my baby weight already (breastfeeding will do that!), but I am left with the infamous 'pooch' - made all the more stubborn thanks to super-weak, post-caesarian tummy muscles. You can imagine my delight when the lovely folk over at Poise Brands asked me whether I would be willing to represent Mama Mio as a local brand ambassador. I'm a firm believer in the efficacy of these products and have happily forked out my own hard-earned cash on the luxe tummy butter (have a look here), amazing 'Boob Tube' and refreshing 'Lucky Legs' throughout my pregnancy, so I jumped at the chance, of course. I think the fact that I didn't get one single stretchmark throughout my nine months of pregnancy pretty much proves just how effective their products are. I've just recently received Mama Mio Get Waisted Body Shaper, which I am incredibly excited to try - it's clinically proven to help increase fat burning and it promises to tighten and tone flabby skin leaving it soft, smooth, and - most importantly - taut. This baby is going to get smeared all over my flabby tum (and maybe my less-than-toned arms, too?) pronto - I'll let you know how it goes!

If you're as obsessed with Mama Mio products as I am, you might be particularly interested in this next bit: Mama Mio has invited me and one of my loyal blog readers to join them at the exclusive Mama Mio Kate Middleton Royal Baby Shower on Saturday, 8 June 2013. As a HUGE fan of the Duchess (I used to tell me hubby that I'd like to get pregnant at the same time as Kate - I beat her to it by, oh, about six months!), I can honestly say that I haven't been this excited for a baby shower since my own! There'll be plenty of scrumptious snacks and pampering going on, with loads of beauty treats up for grabs. Sound like something you'd want to attend? Here are the requirements:

• You must be available to attend the baby shower on Saturday, 8 June 2013, from 10am - 12pm.
• The baby shower will take place in Camps Bay, so only Cape Town residents are eligible to enter this competition (sadly!).
• You'll be attending as my guest - there is only one ticket up for grabs. 
•  All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below, telling me which Mama Mio product you've tried (and what you thought) or what product you're absolutely dying to try. Please remember to leave your email address so that I am able to contact you.

Entries close at 12pm on Friday, 31 May 2013 and I'll announce the winner here, on the blog, at 2pm on Friday afternoon.
