Sassy Mom’s Must Have “Miracle” Jeans – Win A Pair & Look 10 lbs Thinner

December 20, 2010 By alison Leave a Comment

Finding jeans that fit me well can be a daunting task. Very few brands are flattering and sorry, but there is nothing sassy about moms who let their crack hang out, have a whale tail (when we can see your thong) or have a muffin top.

Last year I traipsed down to Nordstrom determined to have my personal shopper find the perfect pair jeans. I am not exaggerating when I say I tried on EVERY single style and brand on whatever floor/section (probably T.B.D) and NOTHING worked. Since when did the crotch of jeans become so short? That explains the muffin tops and whale tails running around the city. Needless to say I left empty handed.

MiracleBody Jean Oprah’s Ultimate Favorites 2010

This is why I am excited to share my Must Have “Miracle” Jeans, which made Oprah’s Ultimate Favorites 2010. You know I love my Oprah but nothing makes me happier when I already own products that are anointed that oh so coveted place on her list.

I was introduced to Miracle Body Jeans this past August while attending Getting Gorgeous at BlogHer where I met the one and only Robert Verdi. I was so excited to find a hip brand that produce a line of denim with a mom’s body in mind that do not scream “mom jeans”.

Miraclebody is putting the “skinny” in skinny jeans! Made with premium Lycra to slim thighs and lift the rear, these jeans also feature a secret panel that holds in your tummy. They come in four different styles: boot-cut, straight, skinny and leggings. “Put them on, and suddenly you look 10 pounds thinner,” Oprah says.

This Sister Wives Controversy on The Oprah Show

October 10, 2010 By alison Leave a Comment

This week The Oprah Show is packed with topics I am extremely anxious to watch. At the top of my must watch list is The Sister Wives Controversy. Seriously. This guy has 16 children…and four wives! I have watched a few episodes of the new TLC show and found it surprisingly interesting. Since airing, the family has received a great deal of media backlash. Are they surprised by this?

I am also eager to watch Ali MacGraw who just happens to be my namesake. Yes, I was named after Ali MacGraw which I will save for another time.

It’s an exciting week on The Oprah Show: The Farewell Season. I’ll be watching, will you?

Are We Waiting For “Superman”?

September 26, 2010 By alison Leave a Comment

My mother has been a teacher in the public school system for almost forty years and I am a product of public schools. Watching the Oprah show this past Monday about the movie Waiting for Superman was no surprise to me.

While I feel I received an acceptable education, went on to college and graduate school, I can tell you this. If it were not for my parents demanding and ingraining into me the expectation that I MUST go to college , it may not have happened.

If you watched Oprah on Monday you may remember seeing the young girl (she is also in Waiting for Superman) who chose to attend the no frills charter school over her neighborhood’s fancy public high school. Her exact words were “I am a smart girl but I don’t test well.” This was ME. I scored poorly on my ACT and was able to “C” my way through elementary and high school.

Luckily I figured things out in college and grad school but school in general was always a struggle. Now that I have two very young children, I am extremely worried about their education and the future they face. Our decision to raise the girls in the City rather than the suburbs brings on similar issues seen in Waiting for Superman.

If you are a parent with school aged children, you can’t afford NOT to see this film or get involved in our country’s education reform. Take the pledge to see Waiting for Superman and get INVOLVED! Our kids and Teachers depend on it.
