Hip-T Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

I was so happy with the chance to review this awesome product that I had seen online. It's called the Hip-T. You wear it around your hips, so it covers up any areas that might be exposed by low-rise pants and such.

It is wonderful! There are so many great things about it, and let me tell you a few.

I can never find pants/shirts that work well together. When I do buy jeans that fit, they always sag on me. And most pants available to me are low-rise. Or the shirt is just too short to cover enough below.

The problem with that, as you all know, is when you lean over or bend down to get something the pants creep down slowly exposing your lower back (or sometimes a little more). Blah! Who wants to see that.

The Hip-T solution is to cover all that up and still be cute.

I like that I can get good coverage and always feel modest without worrying that it will slip.

I like that I can wear something under all my shirts...without the added bulk of another shirt. This is especially great with the warm summer weather approaching.

And one of the biggest selling points for me was this: THEY CARRY PLUS-SIZES! Hurray! Big girls (like me) need to cover up just as much as everyone else. Their sizes go from XX Small (Youth size 10-12) all the way up to 3XL (24-26).

When I was choosing a size, I asked one of the owners about it. My normal size falls between two of their sizing options. She suggested going for the smaller of the two. I did, and I'm happy that she told me that. I even think next time I might try one size smaller. I always feel like it's a bit stretched out after I wear it for a long time.

These wash well. They are very comfortable to wear too. I can't wait to go out and buy some more. And lucky me...there is a local shop that carries these. But it's super easy to order them online too.

With all the color options, I could wear one of these with each outfit I own. I did, however, choose the white lace Hip-T. It goes well with many of my shirts. It was a good choice for me. I think the next one I get will be a plain black one.

Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutt DVD Review & Giveaway (CLOSED)

Fridays are usually a lazy day at my house. My son and I will stay in our pajamas longer. I'll let him watch more movies or play longer than usual. There aren't very often pressing matters to be done on Fridays.

So this Friday we were really excited when UPS dropped off a new movie for us first thing in the morning. (Let me just say here, it pays to have a neighbor that drives for UPS!) We made plans to watch our new movie in the afternoon with a big bowl of popcorn.

We got hooked on Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutt right from the beginning. The first observation that Zachariah made was "That dog can talk!" Ha ha, he was stating the obvious, but his reaction was too cute.

Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutt is being released on Blu-ray Disc and DVD on Tuesday, May 19th at stores everywhere. The characters from previous Dr. Dolittle movies such as Maya Dolittle and Lucky, her pet dog, are back again.

Maya Dolittle is pursuing her dream to be a veterinarian. She is getting ready for college. But her need to help animals NOW takes her another direction. She heads off to Hollywood actually, even against her mother's advice. But it's all in the name of helping animals.

What Maya doesn't realize in her search for meaning is that things aren't always what they seem. Especially when it comes to Hollywood agents who are just out to make a buck. Luckily for her, the animals are all on her side.

This is a great family movie, and I think it is good for any age. My 3 year old loved all the animals in it. And it was cute and funny as well.

Buy It: You can get your own copy of Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts in stores or online now (as of May 19th). It's available on Blu-ray Disc (which also includes a standard DVD) and DVD.

Win It: I have one (1) Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts DVD to giveaway to you lucky readers.

To enter: Leave a comment here telling me who would enjoy this DVD if you won. You must also leave your e-mail address, so I can contact you when you win.

Extra entries: If you'd like to, you may earn extra entries for doing each of the following. Be sure to leave a separate comment for each. You must do the above entry first, then you can do these. (You could have up to 4 chances to win.)
