Heelys Snekers Review

I will admit I have been kinda jealous of the people who wore Heelys. It is just so cool to have a sneaker that is also part roller skate! So I jumped at the chance to try them for myself!

I was sent a pair of the Heelys Wave sneakers to review. They are totally cute! The grey is muted, and that makes the pink pop! I also love their rounded look. They were a little tight on me - the bridge part rubs a little, but that is most likely because I have wide feet! I can still wear them just fine without major issue. I also like that the wheels are hidden when they are in.

I was a little nervous to try them with wheels for the first time. I made sure Jeff was nearby to catch me if i fell! lol!! And it was a little scary to give your balance over to a pair of wheels. However, the directions are easy to follow, and it honestly didn't take long for me to find my balance. Actually going somewhere took a bit more time! I did do it, though, glided along a short distance without holding on. With more practice I might be brave enough to  use them outside. And, BTW,  Jeff was so excited for them that he had to try them on! Of course they didn't fit, but I am now thinking a possible Christmas present...

Heelys is throwing a Black Friday special! From Nov 25-Nov 28, buy any pair of Heelys, and get the second pair for $25. Or buy a Nano, and get a pair of shoes for $25, and also get free ground shipping on all orders!

 
I was given a pair of Heelys to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own, and I received no additional compensation.

BOBA - Baby on Board Apparel Review

I am the type of person who is cold all of the time. Apparently pregnant women are supposed to get hot easily... not me. I am forever freezing, putting on extra socks and wearing sweatshirts around the house. That worked for awhile, but as my belly got bigger, my zip up sweatshirts didn't really zip up anymore! I have been wearing one of Jeff's huge sweatshrits, but it is so big it makes me feel fat and frumpy.

Enter BOBA - Baby on Board Apparel. When  founder Ali McEwen first saw the sight of her soon to be nephew`s ultrasound picture it was love at first site. With the excitement of her sister expecting, Ali wanted to buy her a t-shirt that told the world that she was pregnant. This proved to be a difficult task and from this an idea was born.
Ali decided to put her fashion background to use and develop exactly what she was looking for. This resulted in the conception of the UltraSound T-shirt; which is now a top seller. By April 2009, Baby On Board Apparel was launched consisting of strictly graphic t-shirts designed for the stylish mommy-to-be. In March 2010, BOBA released its signature collection of fashionable basics for blossoming bellies and has expanded to include collections. The mandate for these collections is about creating clothing that works with every existing wardrobe and feel as great as a favourite t-shirt.

 I received a Lila hoody to review in a new color sporty grey. As you can see, it is form fitting in a good way! I look and feel better and am not so embarrassed to answer the door for the UPS guy lol It is really soft and comfortable and keeps me warm. The zipper is plastic but it works very well.  I only washed it once, but it has held its shape and softness.

My only issue is that the sleeves are pretty tight. Even wearing a t-shirt, the top part of the sleeves is tight, and the elbow area gets a lot tighter when I fold my arms. It is a size XL, so there needs to be some room in there for arm flab. ;)

There are no pockets, but I assume that is because of the elastic to help it keep its shape. And that is ok with me! I love how it curves WITH me and makes me actually look pregnant!

I just loved this zip up sweatshirt and do wear it almost every day!

Check out the BOBA web site for lots of  shirts, tops and jackets to keep you looking stylish while you are pregnant.
