The Maseratti of Strollers is Phil&Teds’ New Vibe!!!

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

It’s no secret that we are absolutely in love with two gentlemen from New Zealand by the names of Phil and Ted.  How cool are their products?  It’s not just a few either, but ALL OF THEM!  In our opinion the only ones qualified to out-do this dynamic duo are themselves…and they sure have with the Vibe!!!

How many mothers use a double stroller?  How many are lucky enough to have a Phil&Teds Double Inline?  Wouldn’t it be great if all of that rugged functionality came in one uber chic and luxurious package?  Wouldn’t it be even better if you could fold the whole thing up quickly and easily without any disassembly or breaking a nail?  What if it drove like a dream and had the lines of a thoroughbred?  What if the minute you started the engine you just knew you had arrived?  HALT!  Okay, must be dreaming about the Maseratti Quatro again *sigh*…or not?  It’s actually the new Phil&Teds Vibe that we’re describing and we know you’ll just love it.

All of you Bugaboo wheeling moms with #2 on the way please do pay close attention!  This could end your misery and pre-heal your impending Bugabooectomy.  Girls, you just shouldn’t have to give up your chic-factor over needing to upgrade to a double stroller.  Now you don’t, so don’t be another casualty!

The Vibe features super cushy removable padding that is both durable and easily washable.  The harness even has a slick little adjustment so that when Junior grows and needs to have his straps moved up a bit, it doesn’t take you forever trying to thread and re-thread.  Who’s been there moms?!?!  The main seat fully reclines in true Phil&Teds fashion to very comfortably accommodate an infant or snoozing toddler, and the whole thing folds up, doubles seat and all, with ease into one very compact unit.  It also features their new and improved braking system that sets itself in as little as the push of a button that is located right on the handlebar.

This is it!  Drumroll please!  Our NEW Favorite Pick for Best Double Stroller goes to the Phil&Teds Vibe!  For more information, please check out www.philandteds.com.  The Vibe retails at just under $800 with the doubles kit, or $679.00 without.  They can be purchased HERE.

Also, this is our 100th post at BellazizasFavorites.com and what could be more appropriate than our review of the most amazing product ever from Phil&Teds for the occasion?  It has been such a pleasure partnering with them over the past year!  We really appreciate their support for what we do and their absolute commitment to innovation and excellence within the industry.  We heart Phil&Teds!

A big congratulations to Minnie Driver, who gave birth to baby boy Henry Story Driver on September 5th!  She had picked out her layette from Petit Tresor, and when sweet Henry was born at 9 lbs 12 oz., she quickly had to exchange quite a few items for larger sizes.  You know how those lovely boutique brands run small!

Little Henry will be feeling cozy in lots of Kissy Kissy as well as Baby CZ, which we will be reiewing in detail for you in a few weeks.  Stay tuned!

Favorite Recipe: The Best Gluten-Free Quickie Cookie Ever!!!

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Okay, so when you have a cookie that starts with the words “Gluten Free”, if you’re like us you’re thinking ‘Thanks honey, but I’d rather have less of the real thing…gluten and all!”  This cookie is a very rare exception though.  It’s fantastic and you would never even know it’s completely flourless!  It only takes about 15 minutes too, baking time included!

It comes from our dear friend Katie who we are crowning Our Favorite Queen of Simple Chic.  Yayee Katie Cakes Cookies!

Katie’s Flourless Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

1 c chunky peanut butter… “A certain national brand rhyming with ‘hippie’ works best” :) -Katie
1 c packed golden brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 c chocolate chips.

Mix all ingredients in order. Drop onto lightly greased cookie sheet and bake at 350F for 10 minutes.

Letters & Numbers & Shapes, OH MY!!!

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

We recently came across the best ever way to teach your little one all of the numbers, letters, colors and shapes!  It’s called Teach My Toddler and it really is fabulous.  Mom-inventor Christy Cook came up with the idea after being disappointed by the selection of products available to help her to teach her 18-month old son Finn.  We are so glad to have found Christy and her fantastic product and we know you will be too!

The system includes the case which is separated into four sections – Letters, Numbers, Shapes and Colors.  Each section is filled with flashcards, board books, posters and puzzles that relate to each.  Everything is made to be handled and will hold up to your toddler’s repeated use.

Our Favorite Thing about Teach My Toddler is the fact that it is so much fun!!!  Kids do love to learn, and it ’s a great way to bond with your child.  Take it as a special time with them for about 20 minutes a day (as suggested by Christy) and you will see just how excited they get, and how great you feel too, Super Mom!!!

The entire system retails for only $39.99 plus s/h and makes a wonderful gift.  Here at Chez Bellaziza, we particularly enjoy the puzzles and are happy to say that we now know all of our letters and colors!  It’s a fabulous educational tool, and one that will really bring you and your child closer together.  Please visit www.Teach-My.com for more info on the product, a video tour and how to order.

Jennifer Garner Shops BLUE!

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Jennifer Garner is probably nearing the halfway mark with her pregnancy by our guess.  No clues yet from the Ben and Jen camp on whether a boy or a girl though… or are there?

Saturday she was spotted out at Petit Tresor in Brentwood, CA with a girlfriend.  Perhaps the Plain Mary playmat in chocolate brown with a light blue monogram is a good enough hint?
