(Hey, whatever works, right?)<\/p>\n<p>Not too long ago, I was offered the chance to review some mom and baby products.  Being a mom and having a baby, I was open to the idea in general, but when I heard one of  the product lines was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.burtsbees.ca\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/StoreView?storeId=10201&#038;langId=-12&#038;catalogId=12452\">Burt&#8217;s Bees<\/a>, I was all over that.  I swear by those little tins of Burts Bees lip balm (I keep one in my winter jacket pocket and one on my bedside table &#8211; I really love them!), and I like their shimmery lip gloss, too.  <\/p>\n<p>I got a great little care package that included one container of Burt&#8217;s Bees <a href=\"http:\/\/www.burtsbees.ca\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/ProductDisplay?productId=1000000002403&#038;catalogId=12452&#038;storeId=10201&#038;langId=-12\">Baby Shampoo and Wash<\/a>, which I really like and use every time I bathe Lucas.  The rest of the care package comprised a nice little collection of products from a line that I&#8217;d not heard of before:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mamamio.com\/us\/finals\/homepage.html\">Mama Mio Skincare<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>They sent me a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mamamio.com\/us\/finals\/moisturizingsc.html\">moisturizing shower gel<\/a>, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mamamio.com\/us\/finals\/bodybuff.html\">body buff exfoliating cream<\/a>, and a (snicker) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mamamio.com\/us\/finals\/boobtube.html\">Boob Tube <\/a>bust-firming cream.  More on that in a second.<\/p>\n<p>First, I love love love the Body Buff cream.  I noticed on the website that Milla Jovovich apparently uses it in the shower, but I like to use it on dry (literally, dry and flaking) skin.  It&#8217;s perfect for that bit on the back of your arms that always seems kind of chicken-skinish.  I rub it on my winter-weary arms when I&#8217;m going to wear short sleeves, and between the buff and my new addiction to the rowing machine, my pipes are looking pretty damn good these days!<\/p>\n<p>And about that Boob Tube&#8230; okay, nothing short of a breast reduction is going to give me any lift, but I have to admit that I&#8217;ve been holding off on really giving this one a test drive until turtleneck season is done.  Here&#8217;s what the Mama Mio people say about it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mama Mio Boob Tube is designed to help avoid the classic lifecycle of every boob \u00e2\u20ac\u201c gorgeous young boob (perky), pregnant boob (big), a nursing boob (bigger) and finally no-longer-nursing or slightly older boob (saggy). You want smaller but pert right? (Ok actually you want big and pert &#8211; but alas we can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t help with that!). <\/p>\n<p>Who loves it? It seems EVERYBODY! Already winning 5 industry awards, Boob Tube is even recommended by plastic surgeons to help skin cope and heal with bust surgery. We have a following of 18 year olds whose moms have told them that they should start to fight gravity now. Women of all ages are loving Boob Tube as a daily skin mantenance. Some women start using it as a pre-bikini booster (nothing like stripping to your bikini on a beach to focus the mind on skin care!). The list goes on and on\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and if you happen to find us in stock of Boob Tube you are lucky because we sell out regularly. <\/p>\n<p>Which brings me back to the first point: Got boobs? Then Boob Tube is for you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So not only did I enjoy the products, I was impressed by Mama Mio&#8217;s cheeky and clever marketing.  I&#8217;m always impressed when decent products and irreverent marketing meet!<\/p>\n<p>And now, because I love you all so much, I&#8217;ve once again agreed to do a product review on the condition that I be allowed to share some of the booty (or, ahem, is that boobie?) with you.  I&#8217;m happy to offer you a chance to win a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mamamio.com\/us\/finals\/bbb.html\">Mama Mio BBB <\/a>(that&#8217;s boobs, butt and bellies) kit.  Here&#8217;s the fine print:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In order to win, you (sorry!) must be a Canadian.  <\/li>\n<li>You must leave a comment on this post before the end of day Sunday  March 29, 2009.  <\/li>\n<li>In your comment you must tell me about (at least) one of your favourite body parts.  Got great legs?  Glowing complexion?  Brilliant eyes?  Perfect earlobes?  What physical feature do you love about yourself?  (I&#8217;m partial to my own dimples, and my legs seem to be holding up well through the years &#8212; thanks Mom!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>That&#8217;s it!
