Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
This is the day we celebrate LOVE and affection by exchanging gifts, flowers and cards. And sexy intimate underthings are usually popular gifts around this time of the year…even for preggo and breastfeeding mamas. Oh YES! I can personally attest to this as we have been our busiest EVER during these last two weeks:) …LOL, I am sure our NBC’s Today Show feature also had a lot to do with it too

But why not? All the sacrifice and hard work of carrying a baby for 9 months, gaining weight, giving up some of our favorites foods and drinks, lack of sleep….I mean the list goes on and on. Preggo and breastfeeding moms want to look and feel sexy too… and dammit they deserve to!

When Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda made the “That is very disturbing” and “Are women going to breastfeed in that?” comment during our Sexy Valentine’s Gifts feature on the Today Show, it made me realize even more so that You! Lingerie is doing its part to not only change the way pregnant/breastfeeding moms feel about their bodies and their self-esteem, but also the way in which society views them.
Being pregnant or breastfeeding does not mean you can no longer be sexy or feel beautiful. We passionately believe you should embrace your new body, and thus discover new ways of being sexy and feeling confident and good about yourself. We are excited to share these wonderful new products with the world and hope to inspire a new appreciation for and acceptance of a woman’s body in pregnant form. And it begins with you and I embracing this revolution, and sharing our knowledge with others.

So all you preggo and breastfeeding mamas out there, go out and be sexy, not only on Valentine’s Day but everyday. YOU deserve it!!!
Happy New Year to You and You and You!!!
I hope you all had a fantastic holiday and celebrated the New Year in style! I did. It’s always nice to have lots of family around – it makes the holidays extra special.
We ended 2010 with a bang – thanks to all of you! And now we are looking forward to an even better year in 2011. We have put together a fabulous plan to take You! Lingerie to the next level. And I am SUPER excited about it. Whoot Whoot!!!
You! Lingerie wishes YOU a fabulous New Year!!!
Our New Year’s resolution at You! Lingerie is to makeover even more pregnant and breastfeeding mommies…transforming their underwear drawer from drab to fab with sexy nursing lingerie.
What’s your New Year’s resolution?
So it’s been a really long while since I have written a blog entry. Mainly because during these last few months, I spent countless hours prepping for our launch at the ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas on 10/10/10. And boy, what a ride it has been!!!
The night before leaving for Vegas was SOOOO hectic. My husband, sister and I pulled an all nighter just to make sure everything was in order. But as we headed to the airport, I was too excited to feel tired, go figure. Haha!
After a tearful goodbye to my daughter and husband, we rushed to our flight and what I thought would be a restful 5-hr flight was just more time fretting over all the details! Did all of our show displays and mannequins arrive in one piece? Was the UPS guy going to deliver our show sale samples and packaging on time? Did we have all the correct sizes for the fashion show models? Will buyers like us and our products? A million and one questions kept me up most of the plane ride to Vegas!
To be honest, from landing in Vegas to our return flight back to Atlanta was a blur. But a REALLY REALLY good blur – I am still pinching myself to make sure it’s all REAL. We got such an amazing response at the show from buyers and even other exhibitors, it was truly an honor! We have secured retail distribution at over 15 stores across the US and Europe.

I will share more of my experiences at the show, but one of the biggest highlights was our first wholesale purchase. Erin & Michael Pelias, owners of Zuka Baby in New Orleans, were the first to purchase You! Lingerie. YAY!!! Below is a picture of me with them! If you live near NO or are ever in town, check them out, http://www.zukababy.com

A special thanks to all those who helped me prepare and do so well at the show. Thanks to my hubs for all his love, support and being Mr. Mom for four whole days. Muaaah!!! A big thanks to my baby sister Ekibo and friends Jenise & Laura for being the BESTEST You! Lingerie Reps EVER. I love you gals and could not have done it without you!!! Additionally, I’d like to give a shout out to our model Alyssa for representing all the fierce preggo mamas, you rocked it! And lastly, hugs and kisses to the many amazing exhibitors/new friends that we made (you know who you are :-)) while at the show!
Muaaaahhh
