Heelarious Baby High Heels: Yay or Nay?

evette — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:24:08 +0000

��

I stumbled upon these high heels for babies called Heelarious this weekend.� I actually�think if you just take them as they are they are pretty hilarious.��Mommies love to dress up their baby girls in the “girliest”�of kids wear, but apparently some people think this is these�”baby stilettos” take it too far.� I looked for reviews around the web and found some pretty hostile ones.� From TheStar.com:

Dressing a monkey and having it dance in public draws attention to its keeper.
-Sheila McKillop, Sudbury

One word: Vulgar.
-Jennie Berkeley, Windsor

The younger children are exposed to fashion and sex symbols (leopard and zebra print, what were you thinking?), the more likely they’re going to grow up with the idea that fashion, materialism and looking sexy is important in life. Do you really want to start putting these ideas in your child’s head on Day 1?
-Lauren Cymbaly, Waterloo

I do sort of agree with the last comment. However, if I were to buy these shoes for my baby I would only have them where them for entertainment purposes only & maybe take a few funny pictures to look back on and laugh some more.� Halloween would be an awesome time to have your baby sport them as well.

I’m sure we all can remember walking around in our mommies high heels and leaving black marks on the kitchen tile, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we will want to look “sexy” & “seductive” to men at a super young age.� High heels make me want to DIE most of the time although they are very fashionable & I LOVED wearing my mother’s pumps back in the day.

Come on people.� Life is already hard enough.� Lets have a giggle every chance we get…shall we?

If you would like to purchase some of these shoes & check out other styles go to Heelarious.com.

UV Protection: Kids’ Swimwear Provides More Coverage

evette — Wed, 21 May 2008 18:32:15 +0000

My skin is so pale right now.� Lately, I really have been sort of afraid of getting skin cancer & premature wrinkles due to too much sun exposure.� I use moisturizer with at least SPF 15 everyday.� I do wear sunscreen when out & about in the sun too.� When�I was a kid my mother always made sure we had sunscreen on, but of course there are always those scorching days where it seemed she couldn’t put on enough &�we still�would�get�burned.�

I read an article today from ChicagoTribune.com that discussed that times have changed & our paranoia over too much sun exposure has grown. Rightfully so:

“Research has shown that one blistering sunburn in childhood can double a person’s risk of developing serious forms of skin cancer later in life, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Ninety percent or more of all skin cancers result from excessive exposure to sunlight.”

Pretty scary.� Click here to read the full article.
