When it comes to denim, I hate to say it... but I'm a total snob when it comes to what I wear. I've come to know that not all denim is created equal, and that spending a decent wad of cash on one great pair that you will wear to death is way better than a closet full of crappy denim you will only wear once because the cut is all wrong.

My favorite brand to wear is '7 For All Mankind.' The designers have somehow engineered multiple cuts that fit my body right, flattering me in all of the right places. The best part about their denim is that it lasts, and I've got to say that this denim gets better with wear as it changes to fit your body perfectly! My two favorite cuts are the Bootcut and the Dojo, and I can easily wear these jeans during the day with the kids or dress them up with a great top, accessories, and fabulous shoes.

Refreshing your denim wardrobe for fall was never more accessible OR affordable, as the iconic brand holds its coveted warehouse sale in Los Angeles October 1 – October 3 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Los Angeles is the first stop on the brand’s 4-city national warehouse sale tour with future dates confirmed in San Francisco (Oct. 8-10), New York City (Oct. 14-17) and Chicago (Oct. 22-24).

Only the 2nd time to appear in Los Angeles, the ‘7 For All Mankind’ Warehouse Sale will offer steep savings of up to 80% off and unprecedented access to some 30,000 pieces of pure luxury and style including women's and men's jeans in all sizes as well as a full range of best selling outerwear and sportswear: tops, sweaters, shorts, skirts and jackets. 7 For All Mankind is the first company to truly bring premium denim to scale. Since its launch in fall 2000, "7" as it is affectionately known in the fashion industry, has become both an established modern classic for its sophisticated fits as well as a leading trendsetter for its newest fashion forward washes and designs. The brand is a favorite among Hollywood elite including Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Garner, John Krasinski, Ben Affleck and Ryan Reynolds.

The sale will occupy over 30,000 sq. feet at the Los Angeles Convention Center and is open to the public Friday October 1, Saturday October 2 and Sunday October 3 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

In support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, The Warehouse Sale is encouraging shoppers to “Think Pink” and show their support for breast cancer awareness by wearing pink to the sale. The Warehouse Sale will make a donation to breast cancer research at the close of the 4-city tour.

Shoppers are encouraged to register in advance at www.thewarehousesale.com to receive a complimentary invitation to the event for expedited entry. Shoppers can also register at the door.

All Moms have a Pack 'N Play with small children. In fact, I know many families that have more than one of these handy items to put in various places around their house when their babies are small for impromptu naps or a safe place to put the little one down.

The only real downside to owning a Pack 'N Play is that they aren't washable, which is such a bummer! You can wipe it down, spot clean it, change the sheet for the mattress... but that's about it. Then there is the factor (at least for me) where the Pack 'N Play screams "a baby lives here" due to the animal print or whatever appears on the fabric from the manufacturer (which I really can't stand when it comes to baby stuff!).

The handy folks over at CoverPlay came up with a novel concept- a removable and washable slipcover for the tried and true Pack 'N Play, which to me is just ingenious! Has your baby decided to spit up all over your entire house, including your Pack 'N Play? No problem, just take the cover off and pop it in the washer! Do you desire a slipcover to match the decor of your house a bit more so your Pack 'N Play doesn't stick out like a sore thumb due to the red and yellow circus print? CoverPlay's got your covered, because there are many different colors and styles to choose from.

The other real HANDY use for the CoverPlay is during travel. I do not travel much with my family, but when we do need to stay in a Hotel with the kiddos we never bring our own Pack 'N Play (heck, who wants to bring one more thing if they don't have to?). Marriott's family of Hotels (which includes SpringHill Suites, Fairfield Inn & Suites, Courtyard, Residence Inn, and Renaissance Hotels) offers a clean CoverPlay Slipcover to Hotel guests requesting a Pack 'N Play during their stay. How awesome is that? That there greatly reduces the "ick" factor when using a Hotel Pack 'N Play, and it's looks cute, too!

I'm very lucky in the way that I received this CoverPlay Slipcover. I happened to enter a Giveaway over at the lovely Savvy Sassy Mom's website, and low and behold... I won something! When I received the CoverPlay at my doorstep this evening, I opened the box to find a CoverPlay in the most perfect color scheme possible for the decor in my home. Best of all, I love how it transformed my animal-printed Pack 'N Play to something that looks great in our living space. My Giveaway also came with two Knit Jersey Coordinating Pack 'N Play Mattress Sheets, all courtesy of Marriott Hotels.

Since Baby S could arrive any time in the next four weeks, I decided to keep the Pack 'N Play up and ready to go. Hopefully she won't spit up all over it the first day she is home, but if she does at least I can wash it all and start all over again!

A special Thank You for the Giveaway Win go out to Andrea at Savvy Sassy Moms, Coverplay, and Marriott Hotels!

If there are any other Darwin Award Winners out there that are about to have another baby and did the ridiculous thing of getting rid of baby stuff right before finding out number three was well on their way, then the OC Kids Consignment Summer Sale is for you!

Thousands of gently used Baby and Kid's items will be on sale at GREAT bargain prices for this weekend only. We're talking clothing, shoes, strollers, high chairs, baby carriers, toys, and much more.

If you are like me and STILL need to purchase some major high-prices items, this sale is for you!

Let's face it- being a Mom is tiring, and sometimes we don't have the time (or the money) to really take care of our skin the way we should. And even if you aren't a Mom, life is still tiring and sometimes you don't have time to pamper your skin like you wish you could!

Up until a few years ago, I didn't even use moisturizer. Can you say murder to my skin? Of course, times have changed... I moisturize twice daily (with lots of sunblock!), on top of a good skincare regimen and my skin is thankful for it. But despite my best efforts hormones, fatigue, air pollution, and all of the other factors that we face on a daily basis still affect my skin... which is why sometimes your skin needs a little help (especially me- because I'm pregnant)!

I had the opportunity to try out Dermalogica's MAP-15 Regenerator, which is part of their Age Smart line. Amazing stuff, ladies! I've been using it for about five weeks and I definitely notice a difference!

MAP-15 Regenerator is a revolutionary powder-to-emulsion treatment that delivers the highest concentration of Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) directly into the skin, dramatically improving skin firmness and clarity. It helps slow down the signs of aging by stimulating collagen and refining texture. You can apply the powder-to-emulsion in small quantities directly to areas that you need to target, or add a pea-sized amount in to your daily moisturizer for all-over brightening.
