Chelsea Kaplan’s Musings About Life... After Birth

Posted by Chelsea on September 30, 2008

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, six months after having my second child, weight-wise, I’m still nowhere near where I’d like to be . Sigh. That’s why this afternoon (Wednesday) at 2:00 PM EST, I’ll be joining Broads Molly and Christine of XM Radio’s “Broadminded” (tune in on XM Channel 155!) to try Hello! SkinnyJeans, your good ‘ol classic denim staples made with a high nylon/elastane content that sucks in your gut, butt and thighs. The credit for this find goes to Momtourage member Alison, who read about them in a magazine and said we needed to get some ASAP.

We’ve tried other slimming jeans before, so the Broads and I are looking forward to comparing these bad boys to other varieties. Catherine Hart, the founder of Hello! SkinnyJeans claims her jeans are the best because they’ve got “scooped out” thighs, which drastically separate and slim your thighs and push out your tush, and inseams that are drawn forward on the leg, making it appear that there is less real estate on your drumsticks.

Wanna check them out for yourself? Visit skinnyjeans.com. They come in a variety of colors and lengths, and are $178 each.

Those sure aren’t no “mom” jeans! With all the sucking in, pushing around of the body- where did the muffin top go??

I’d easily shell out almost $200 if they promised to make me look like that picture! But somehow - I doubt it….

Oh…I wish I was her size. It’s really beautiful.

i’ve never understood why they advertise those kind of jeans with stick thin models. show me a size 8 or 10 woman with those jeans on!

For a blog that is supposively catered to average mothers, the type of product you advertise here seems a little ridiculous. Maybe next time you will consider showing a pair of jeans that are less than two weeks worth of day care prices.

Thanks, but no thanks.

No way a real, normal woman would be the image of a jeans brand. that sucks!!

Beautiful blog with great informational content. Mostly certifications related and radios related topics are really very good. 70-505 and 70-510 are also good topics. Thanks for this great sharing.

It is truly said that if you waste a minute discussing to someone who is not interested in that, you haven’t wasted much of your time or theirs. Thanks for the nice post.

My Current Obsessions

The Kiefer Cottage
Meet the Kiefers: a quirky, lovable family of five on a quest to transform their 1940s Kansas City bungalow into the house of their dreams. The budget is small, the dreams are big, the creativity is inspiring. Check them out - you can thank us later. Happy reading, everybody!
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner
I don't understand gals who claim to loooove cleaning. That said, I do get a certain joy from using Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner to care for my home. You can't lose with this stuff...it is hard-working & earth-friendly, and will leave your abode smelling like a day spa instead of a chemical spill. Try Lemon Verbena in the kitchen and Basil in the bathroom. At only $7.99 a bottle, you can afford to pick up both!
True Blood
Um, does this even need a caption? Doubtful, but let me just say that this is the hottest hour on television. Vampires are seriously sexy (especially Eric), and on this show you get to see a lot of them--if you get what I mean. Put the kids to bed and flip the channel to HBO on Sundays at 9 p.m. to taste the fun that is True Blood.
Valentino Bow Thong Sandals
So comfy and feminine, I know I'd wear them all summer. But dang, that much money for jellies? Possibly worth the splurge. $275, nordstrom.com
New Balance Kids’ Sneakers in wide sizes
My boys have wide feet, which means finding cute shoes for them is tough. These, however, rock. Prices vary, visit nbwebexpress.com to purchase.
Zoya “Laurie” Nail Polish
This sheer pink polish is, without question, the PERFECT nude pink. Plus, the polish is free of formaldehyde, toluene, camphor and dibutyl phthalate (read: yucky crap that isn't really safe for prego gals). $6, enailsupply.com.
