Mama Mio Supports the Fight Against Breast Cancer

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

During the month of October, and in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Mama Mio is donating $1 per Boob Tube sold at mamamio.com to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Use it daily as a bust and neck firmer – something every new mom could benefit from after all the changes to your breasts during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Plus, it will keep you aware of your body and on top of your health (very important when it comes to breast cancer awareness!).

Just ask celebrity moms Jessica Alba and Sarah Michelle Gellar – they’re big fans of Boob Tube!

The Spirit of Holiday Giving: pediped Shoes

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

These shoes were made for walking… and for giving back.

First of all, let me say on the record that I love pediped shoes. They are adorable and if my son likes wearing them, they must be comfortable!

From December 17- 31, pediped will reduce the price of select shoe styles and then donate 50% of the sales from those shoes to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. (Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.)

Although pediped initially pledged $50,000, their goal is to now double that pledge.

What a great way to get into the spirit of giving this holiday season!

These (Robeez) Shoes Were Made for Giving

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

The season for giving is around the corner and Robeez wants to do their part in giving back.

They just launched their fourth annual Season of Giving campaign – a charitable initiative to donate shoes to infants in need during the holiday season.

For every e-card sent, Robeez will make a $5 product donation via its charitable partner Kids in Distressed Situations (K.I.D.S.). One card = $5 worth of Robeez footwear… 10 cards = $50 of footwear… and so on!

And, by taking the time to send out an e-card, you have a chance to win a Robeez Shoes and Socks Gift Set (these are so cute!). Winners are drawn weekly and the campaign will last up until December 20th.
