Summer is here ! Pregnancy & Newborn Magazine!

We are so excited to see Vivique in the June 2010 edition of Pregnancy & Newborn magazine - featuring one of our best sellers - our suiting pants.

Thank you all for your great response.  We too LOVE these pants and find them super comfy.  The all weather fabric makes them a great staple to go from winter to summer to fall.

Yummy !

Have a great weekend and pick up a copy of Pregnancy & Newborn to read at the beach!

Rockin' and Rollin'

WOW! What a month we have had!

Tuesday, April 27 Vivique was featured in a fashion show at the book signing for The Hot Mom To Be Handbook with Jessica Denay and Trista Sutter. What a fun event in my old stomping grounds on the upper East side in NYC!  Our gorgeous model, Robin, showed her stuff in our classic indigo straight leg jeans and we LOVED finally meeting Liza from Expecting Models and so excited she invited us!  

A great girly event for moms-to-be!

Then Friday we were off to sunny LA for the launch event for this year's Pregnancy Awareness Month.  Let me just say, we are not leading crazy jet set lives right now but when the occasion arises, we are game!  So we kissed our cuties good-bye (sniff sniff) and left for a girls weekend where we once again met up with Liza and her beautiful pregnant moms-to-be again!  Pregnancy Awareness Month is aimed at educating women about options during pregnancy - an event we wish we could've attended when we were pregnant!  We loved our models Katie and Jane - they flaunted our patent pending waistband with style and grace and really represented Vivique well.  Of course the one of the highlights was hearing Scott Stapp sing "Arms Wide Open" - amazing!!!  His wife, Jaclyn is beautiful, genuine and sweet and we had a great time chatting about our kiddies - she is 8 months pregnant and looks AMAZING! (http://www.jaclyn-s.com/home.php). We also met Shari from the Birth Boutique in Denville - right in our backyard (http://www.birthboutique.com/).

We want to thank Liza from Expecting Models for inviting us to these events.  She has been such a tremendous support since we started the business and we can't thank her enough (xo to Liza!) http://www.expectingmodels.com/

Well, now we are back in New Jersey and just having meetings that will hopefully lead to something HUGE!!

Thanks for everyone's support - especially our husbands and moms who held down the fort while we were having our adventures !!

Grateful

Last week I had one of those weeks where you just can't wait for the weekend to come so you could finally catch a break and some sleep.  Where you brain is so fried that you don't even remember what you said 2 minutes ago!

Just as I was about to collapse into tears onto my keyboard on Friday, my inner voice said - is your family healthy and happy ? (thank God! knock wood) - Then it will all be ok.

I know this is true every day and am so grateful for the love of my family.

I also try to remember other challenging situations and often I can't as vividly as I do in the moment and I remember this too shall pass and time heals all.

Have a great day and appreciate the love that surrounds you.

Love the Web!

I just had to share with you how much I love the Internet.  I really don't know how I would survive without it (ah - a TV show - "Mother Survivor"  - No internet for a week!  eek!). 

Of course I work using the Internet but just managing my house alone would be virtually impossible without the Internet.  I finally have some "time" in my day around 10pm so that is when I shop for my daughter, register her for classes, by birthday presents, make invitations to parties, work... and the list could go on!  What did moms do before the Internet?

I can't even think about it.  So to help you on your Internet journey, here are some coupons that I loved receiving in the past week.  Enjoy !

A big smooch for Momtrends!

Momtrends review of Vivique

The other day we met with Momtrends and showed them the Vivique line.  Momtrends was started by a super smart and ambitious mom, Nicole Feliciano.  She used to work at Ralph Lauren and, like all of us when we become moms, knew there had to be some changes in work life to maximize the precious time with her children.  She began to do freelance writing which eventually led to Momtrends. Nicole launched Momtrends in 2007 and Momtrends continues to provide the latest news on things trendy and cool for families -  packed with practical information and shopping tips aimed to help busy, style-starved parents find the best gear for their family.


When we met with Nicole, she loved the Vivique line!  It is always so wonderful to meet with a fellow mom who gets our line and recognizes the revolutionary approach from a fashion, fit and quality perspective.

So, Friday late at night, when mommies get to work again after the evening kiddie activities, I was trying to recover from a crazy day and wrapping up emails when I received an email from Nicole - her review of Vivique was going up that night!  How could I go to sleep after that news !!!  So in between washing my face and brushing my teeth I ran up and down the stairs refreshing my computer, when it happened !  The review was posted....

Momtrends review of Vivique

We are thrilled with the review and it was so wonderful to meet Nicole.  She is such an amazing dynamo (not sure how she does it all!)

THANKS MOMTRENDS!

Big smooches !
