5 Trendy Fall Maternity Dress Styles + NOM Giveaway!

During this last trimester, the main thing I wear are dresses and skirts.  They are so comfy and have felt great in this hot summer heat.  Fall is just around the corner and I've been taking a sneak peak into trendy maternity trends through Belly Dance Maternity which has top of the line style with quality fabrics and patterns.  Here are some of the dress trends I've been seeing, look below for a giveaway to win an amazing NOM product of YOUR CHOICE from Belly Dance Maternity.

1) Fitted Dresses

This Hailey Dress from Belly Dance Maternity is fitted, but not tight, and is the first time in a while I have felt sexy while being pregnant.  All of these fitted dresses have ruching on the side which I absolutely loves and makes my cute belly pop!  Some of these other fitted dresses have a belt on top of the belly (which I do all of the time which I think is adorable) or a V-neckline which I feel narrows my face.

Isabella Oliver Cobalt Olivia Dress

Olian Hunter Ruched

2) Stripes and Boots

I love these next two dresses which have horizontal stripes in darker shades for the fall/winter.  I love how throwing boots in the mix make it so easy to wear and so stylish and cute!

NOM Navy Stripe Ellie Dress

NOM Charcoal Julie Stripe Dress

3) Ankle boots and cute necklines

I thought this was a fun style for the fall, black ankle boots and a higher neckline dress which can be buttoned up as a turtle neck. Below, we have a cowl neck dress which is so cute and I love the belts paired with both.

Maternal America Tulip Sleeve Dress

Jules and Jim Midnight Pocket Dress

4) Flowy and Green and Blue Color Trends

I've noticed that besides the darker basic colors (like black, gray, and navy), green and a lighter blue seem to be popular this fall.  This first dress is so beautiful and I wish I had it! It's flowy on the bottom, ruched up top, and with an attached belt it is super cute and flattering for all trimesters of pregnancy.  Below is another flowy dress (in the blue I was talking about) and I absolutely love the pattern!

Olian Kelly Wrap Dress

Olian Margarette

5) Peplum Maternity

I had no idea there were peplum dresses for maternity.  I think this one is so cute and flattering to your cute baby bump.  I love the dark tights with this outfit with some cute high heels, I could also see this with some cute black boots!

Ripe Black Peplum

Anyway, lots of cute dress styles to choose from this fall.  Belly Dance Maternity has more great clothing products on their site which are to die for!  I'm hosting a giveaway for one of you lucky duckies to win a NOM dress of your choice found here: http://www.bellydancematernity.com/nom.php.  Enter with Rafflecopter below, giveaway ends September 7, 2013.  Good luck!

Morning sickness relief: Preggie Pop and Drop GIVEAWAY

I'm still shocked in my third trimester I get morning sickness, it's really inconsistent and I hate that most of the time its when I'm away from home and can't just curl up in my bed. When I feel sick, Preggie Pops and Drops help relieve morning sickness and help me feel better by the time I finish eating it. 

Last night in fact at the wee hours of 4am I felt sick and had to get out of bed and tried going to the bathroom.. didn't help.. eating food.. didn't help... drinking water... didn't help. After an hour of still just feeling ill, I got my Preggie Pop Drop and felt better within 10 minutes. Seriously, ever time I take one I have felt so much better by the time it is finished. 

 Preggie Pops: 

All Natural 

Drug Free 

Contains 10mg Vitamin B6 

Recommended by Healthcare Professionals

Enter with Rafflecopter below to get 1 box of Preggie Pops and a box of Preggie Drops.  Giveaway ends August 15, 2013. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Pretty Mommies Maternity Skin Care Giveaway

This pregnancy has made my face look worse than it ever did in High School.  No matter what time of day or circumstances, my face always looks so bumpy and full of pimples.  I tried a few different products, but by far my favorite and most effective one I tried was from Pretty Mommies.
Their products are effective, safe, and targeted toward pregnant and nursing women.  They create their products to target hormonal breakouts and melasma and don't use anything that would be harmful to you or your baby.

Enter below to win a set of Pretty Mommies Skincare products.  Giveaway goes through July 20, 2013.

Step 1: LET’S BE CLEAR FACIAL CLEANSER

I use this Pretty Mommies cleanser morning and night to help my face stay clean and get rid of my oily skin. I   love the exfoliating feeling I get from using this product and how I don't even need to take off my makeup before washing my face.  This cuts through dirt and makeup to make my face clean and fresh.

Step 2: TRUTH BE TOLD SKIN BRIGHTENER

After using the "LET’S BE CLEAR FACIAL CLEANSER", I use this brightener to help tighten and brighten my skin.  Even after one use I could feel the subtle tightness especially around my mouth and forehead.  I also thank my glowing complexion to this amazing product.

Step 3: PROTECT and REFLECT SPF 30

Before going to the pool, I put on this amazing product to help my sensitive pregnant skin from getting fried. A little goes a long way and the Zinc Oxide protects my skin and reflects ultraviolet rays.

Preggie Pops and Drops Giveaway

With this pregnancy I've overall feel pretty good, but it's always when I'm running errands or supposed to be somewhere I get a headache, stomachache or hunger.  Ugh, it's always such a pain because half of the time I can't just leave right away and go home, so .... being prepared and keeping some essentials with me has been such a big help.

Here's my messy purse filled with 4 essential items:
1) Preggie Pops and Drops
2) Snacks like fruit rollups
3) Water
4) Gum or mints

What are Preggie Pops and Drops you might ask?  They are drops made especially for pregnant women and help reduce morning sickness symptoms by using natural ingredients.  They are healthcare provider recommended and help pregnant women get rid of dry mouth, provide energy, and have helped me quickly get rid of headaches and pain in my stomach.

You can find these pregnancy 'miracles' in the form of a drop or a lollipop in flavors like green apple, sour raspberry, sour lemon, peppermint, spearmint, lavender, ginger, and sour tangerine. They also have Organic Preggie Pop Drops as well.

I love how discrete I can be in popping one of the drops in my mouth as I continue my daily routine and within a few minutes I'm feeling better.  The containers of the drops contain 21 pieces and can be found in so many retail stores like Buy Buy Baby, Babies "R" Us, Motherhood, Target, Walgreens, CVS, and more.

Buttons Cloth Diapers Giveaway

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell you diapers are expensive! It's amazing how much money diapers for your little one cost, Wiki estimated that kids go through about 4,500-5,000 diapers before their potty trained... dang! That's a lot of money, instead, it could cost as little as $240 with Buttons Diapers.

What I love about cloth diapers, and why I want to use for this baby, is the amount of money you save.  Buttons Cloth Diapers have affordable prices for their cloth diapers which snap into place and have elastic around the legs and tummy for a comfortable and custom fit.  The diapers are one-size to fit babies from 9-35 lbs and are made of 2 layers of wipe-able, waterproof PUL, with double leg gussets.  You can also use snap-in inserts, made from absorbent microfiber with soft moisture-wicking fleece on top, for a quick and easy diaper change as well.

So enter below, giveaway ends July 1, 2013 and winner chooses the color they like.
