The Functional Chocolate Company

Filed under: Mom Life · May 8, 2022

Hey mommas! Have you heard of the Functional Chocolate Company? “Co-founder and single father, Chris Peruzzi created the first Functional Chocolate products as a fun, enjoyable way to care for his kids’ everyday health realities including his daughter’s PMS symptoms and son’s ability to manage stress.” Functional Chocolate is condition-specific chocolate that can help ease some of our common day to day conditions.

Tired AF?

There’s literally a chocolate bar for every mood y’all. Choose from Carefree chocolate which helps relieve stress and anxiety, just like when you buy CBD gummies and use them; Hot Chocolate; or Rhythm to help with PMS and menopause. My favorite is the energy chocolate bar which boosts your energy all throughout the day. Full of healthy ingredients like green tea extract, espresso and ashwagahnda, each bar is crafted in the USA and are 100% plant-based, vegan, dairy-free, non-GMO, cholesterol and gluten-free.

Another one of my favorites is the Sleep Bar. Do you struggle with sleep? Or perhaps fall asleep but can’t stay asleep? Maybe the Sleep Chocolate Bar can help. This bar is made with blueberries, lavender and other powerful botanicals. It’s formulated to help you get a restful night of sleep. Did I mention that it tastes so good? I love that my kids can enjoy the Functional Chocolate bars too.

Healthy and Nutritious

Finally, Functional Chocolate Bars can be found in hundreds of stores nationwide. If you are looking for a healthy treat I think you will love the Functional Chocolate Company.

Luvme Headband Wigs: Hairstyles for the Busy Momma

Filed under: Mom Life · January 21, 2022

During the pandemic I had to get creative with ways to style my hair without going to the salon. I was use to going to get my hair done every few weeks or so and well that all changed in 2020. After browsing through various sites I discovered Luvme Headband Wigs. First I have to admit that I have always had a fear of wearing wigs. There were always these wild thoughts that the wig would slide off or maybe my kids would pull them off. I know, I know it is hard to believe but that is what I really thought.

Luvme Headband wigs are created with only the best quality human hair. Choose from textures like kinky curly, wavy, loose curl or straight. And the color choices are endless. My favorite texture currently is the body wave. Since discovering headband wigs I have also found a new love for experimenting with different colors. You can catch me in a black or burgundy wig and my new favorite is blonde. They have new arrivals regularly and are always on point with the latest trends.

Versatile

These wigs are perfect for busy moms who love to switch up their hairstyle . No glue or lace trimming needed and can be installed in minutes. They are super easy to apply. Simply braid your hair down, apply wig with the combs attached and close with the velcro. You can add your favorite color headband, brush and go! Not only does the headband wig save me money it saves me time that I would spend traveling to the salon and waiting to get styled. It has really been a game changer for me.

100% Human Hair

If you are not quite into headband wigs, Luvme has a whole line of affordable hair. Choose from lace front, undetectable lace, quick weaves, half wigs, bundles, and so much more. The possibilities are endless.

My fear of wearing wigs is long gone. Headband wigs have become my best friend. I have a few different colors and styles and they have saved me from not being able to go to the salon. They are perfect for everyday use and easy to maintain. I wear mine to workout, dress them up or down with different hair accessories and I always get tons of compliments. Best of all they are affordable.

Fashionable

Finally, head on over to luvme.com and check out what’s new. Use code: sportymommas to save!!! I am sure that you will not be disappointed. Happy Shopping!

Cabi: Last Call for Fall Favorites

Filed under: Mom Life · January 13, 2022

It’s a great time to grab some of those Fall cabi pieces that you have been eyeing. From now until January 19th cabi is offering one of my favorites the Puff Piece or the Rainy Day Jacket as your free gift with purchases over $300. This is a great deal my friends. The puff piece by itself is $190. So that is a steal. Choose from great tops, jackets, denim, dresses and fun accessories. Here are some of my personal cabi Fall Fashion favorites below.

The Heritage Coat

The Heritage coat is a staple piece. I love how you can dress it up or down. In this look, I wore it over an all black bodysuit with boots and I got tons of compliments. It is made of wool, ……and will definitely keep you warm on those winter nights. You can head over to see how the look book styled this beautiful coat for more fashion inspiration.

The King Cobra Coat is another favorite. I have worn this piece a few times with jeans and leggings. You can also pair it with a cute dress. Do whatever your heart desires. The material is so beautiful and it definitely gives off those rich auntie vibes.

The Adorn Pullover can take you from PTA meetings to the boardroom with it’s chic details. I personally love black on black so that’s what I went for here. I also can’t wait to try mixing prints. Honestly you can wear this top with anything and look fabulous.

Sporty Chic

Another set that was in heavy rotation this fall is the Training jacket and matching joggers. I think I literally wore this like every other week. It was perfect for dropping the kids off to school and running errands. I also wore it to Disney World and it was super comfy. The best part about cabi clothing is that the fabrics wash well. Please be sure to read the labels on how to care for your items.

Last but not least is the corsage blouse and skirt. Initially I only had the blouse but when I saw someone else wearing both pieces together I just had to have it. One thing that I love about this print is how vibrant the colors are. They just pop. Here you will see the matching set but I have also worn the blouse with black denim. Which one do you prefer?

Head over to cabionline.com quickly before all of the cabi fall fashion favorites are gone.
