In my research I found you can now purchase what is called Belly Bands. They're a great alternative to maternity clothes, because you wear it over your existing unbuttoned pants. The Belly Band holds up your clothing so you don't have to buy a whole new wardrobe. Many places are catching onto this option and there are knock-offs to the Belly Band brand, however, you can get a Black and White option at Target in the US.{* Chignon *}http://www.blogger.com/profile/14045493184874914557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832637.post-29692845042660278522008-02-15T05:19:00.003+00:002008-02-15T05:21:34.196+00:002008 Academy AwardsIt's that time of year again!

This store didn't orignally appeal to me, but I decided to try their Vitamin E daily moisturizer and Vitamic C face wash and am quite pleasantly surprised. I've always been intrigued by the "Body Butter" concept, but never really quite understood the idea of walking around with a tub of cream. I personally prefer the sqeezy-bottles of moisturizer. But, now that I've experienced the wonders of their facial products, I must say, I will be visiting the Body Shop, more often.{* Chignon *}http://www.blogger.com/profile/14045493184874914557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832637.post-1153771444387207362006-07-24T20:04:00.000+00:002006-07-24T20:04:04.836+00:00Isaac Hayes Sponsors Way to Happiness Distribution in BuffaloScientologist Isaac Hayes sponsors a distribution of The Way to Happiness in Buffalo, with a customized Isaac Hayes cover. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.scientology-buffalo.org/articles/606272019532.vm">read more</a> | <a href="http://digg.com/world_news/Isaac_Hayes_Sponsors_Way_to_Happiness_Distribution_in_Buffalo">digg story</a>{* Chignon *}http://www.blogger.com/profile/14045493184874914557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832637.post-1153504583803169002006-07-21T17:56:00.000+00:002006-07-21T17:56:23.843+00:00Avril Lavigne Weds Deryck Whibley , the Wedding Album Avril Lavigne tiead knot with Deryck Whibley, last weekend, here are the official pictures of the ceremony.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.celebguru.org/entry/avril-lavigne-weds-deryck-whibley-the-wedding-album/">read more</a> | <a href="http://digg.com/celebrity/Avril_Lavigne_Weds_Deryck_Whibley_,_the_Wedding_Album">digg story</a>{* Chignon *}http://www.blogger.com/profile/14045493184874914557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5832637.post-1153286004573927582006-07-19T05:10:00.000+00:002006-07-19T05:13:24.586+00:00Michelle KIn a recent trip the US, I bought a pair of Michelle K tennys.
