Chelsea Kaplan’s Musings About Life... After Birth
Posted by Chelsea on May 05, 2010
One of the most-asked beauty-related questions I get from you guys and everyone out there in radio land is “How do I get rid of these damn lines and bags around my eyes?”. Trust me - I get is. What a drag it is getting old…and having kids who wake up at the crack of dawn.
Today, I’ll be joining Broads Molly and Christine of Sirius XM’s “Broadminded” to highlight the new Clarisonic Opal, which totally gets the job done. If you’d like to listen in to hear our complete review, tune in Wednesday to XM 155 or Sirius 102 at 2:30 PM EST.
The latest product from the wizards that created the Clarisonic skincare brushes, this eye-area age-fighting innovation combines sonic infusion technology with an anti-aging serum to dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around your peepers. Kinda like a vibrator for you eyes, its gentle sonic massage infuses serum into the outer layers of the skin for 30 seconds, immediately rendering visibly smoother, firmer, more hydrated skin and minimized appearance of under-eye puffiness. With repeated use, the claim is that you’ll notice the kind of difference an extra four hours per night of sleep gets you. Sound too good to be true? We’ll be checking it out to see if it is, in fact, that miraculous!
Wanna get one for yourself? They’re $245 at sephora.com. Or, if you’re feeling lucky, we’ve got one to give away - as well as one Clarisonic Plus Skincare System to banish your body blemishes, just in time for tank top season! To win both, here’s what you need to do:
I’m in the process of writing a book about the infertility process, and I’m looking for women who’ve gone through it who will share some of their stories about the craziest thing they did or felt while they were going through it (Me, I wanted to shoot Britney Spears after hearing she got knocked up. She was pregnant and I wasn’t? WTF?). If you’ve got a wacky story like that, send it along to me at chelsea@themomtourage.com, and that will be your entry. If you haven’t, no worries! Just send me a story of what it was like watching or supporting a pal going through the infertility process. Again, email me at chelsea@themomtourage.com and that will be your entry.
The winner will be chosen at random this Friday - good luck!

My Current Obsessions
The Kiefer Cottage
Meet the Kiefers: a quirky, lovable family of five on a quest to transform their 1940s Kansas City bungalow into the house of their dreams. The budget is small, the dreams are big, the creativity is inspiring. Check them out - you can thank us later. Happy reading, everybody!
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner
I don't understand gals who claim to loooove cleaning. That said, I do get a certain joy from using Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner to care for my home. You can't lose with this stuff...it is hard-working & earth-friendly, and will leave your abode smelling like a day spa instead of a chemical spill. Try Lemon Verbena in the kitchen and Basil in the bathroom. At only $7.99 a bottle, you can afford to pick up both!
True Blood
Um, does this even need a caption? Doubtful, but let me just say that this is the hottest hour on television. Vampires are seriously sexy (especially Eric), and on this show you get to see a lot of them--if you get what I mean. Put the kids to bed and flip the channel to HBO on Sundays at 9 p.m. to taste the fun that is True Blood.
Valentino Bow Thong Sandals
So comfy and feminine, I know I'd wear them all summer. But dang, that much money for jellies? Possibly worth the splurge. $275, nordstrom.com
New Balance Kids’ Sneakers in wide sizes
My boys have wide feet, which means finding cute shoes for them is tough. These, however, rock. Prices vary, visit nbwebexpress.com to purchase.
Zoya “Laurie” Nail Polish
This sheer pink polish is, without question, the PERFECT nude pink. Plus, the polish is free of formaldehyde, toluene, camphor and dibutyl phthalate (read: yucky crap that isn't really safe for prego gals). $6, enailsupply.com.

Please??
Hi Chelsea:
That’s wonderful! Im sure a lot of women are going to benefit from your book. I don’t really have an infertility story other than to say I got pregnant at 19 and then never again. I’m now 43 and have a beautiful 23 year old daughter. Needless to say I have a lot of wrinkles that could use some vibrating!
I had a friend who had infertility issues. She was totally consumed by it for years. It was very sad, she was unable to enjoy life.. really. When someone we knew got pregnant I knew she would be so depressed about it. She finally did get pregnant with a lot of help and is very happy once again.
I do not have a personal infertility story either. I have had friends that suffered from infertility problems and they later adopted!! They finally have the family that they so wanted!!
my story is silly.. but during the time, very rough…i hah had first 2 , completely unplanned, total surprises…then boyfriend says, “if you want more , we should get married”..OK..lovely wedding…plan for 3rd.. trying..and crying for 1 year.. no baby.. i gave up… took my now hubby to parents house on cape cod…take him into mom’s bathroom for quicky…well.. tyler is now 9.. who knew??? months of tears and all is took was mom’s bathroom sink..LOL,,, she hates when i tell that story.. well…4 boys now..17, 11, 9 and 5.. and i’m 47.. can you even imagine my wrinkles/laugh lines ??? need some helppppp… you guys rock btw !!!!
The home loans seem to be essential for people, which would like to start their own company. As a fact, it is not really hard to receive a secured loan.
My parents had an infertility issue for many years after I was born. Being an only child, they wanted me to have a sibling “to grow old with”. I thought that’s why people got married????
But over 14 years, my mother had 7 miscarriages trying to have a kid. At that time, I didn’t understand how dangerous this was and I was afraid that I would have to give up my mom :( I am sorry now that I wasn’t more supportive because she was actually doing it for me. When I was 14, my mom finally had another baby! My mom never tried fertility treatments—we couldn’t afford it—but she did everything the “traditional” way and hoped it would pan out. My new sibling has been a joy. She lights up the house with her energy!
My mom was right. I love my little sister :D
I was pregnant with my first while my sister was going through several “maybe babies” in her journey to adopt. She finally got Anthony, who is just a few months older than my son. They are now 15, best buds and partners in crime!
