Chelsea Kaplan’s Musings About Life... After Birth
Posted by Chelsea on April 24, 2007
Tune into “Broadminded” on XM Radio’s Channel 155 tomorrow at 6:20 PM or 10:20 PM EST to hear another one of my “As Tried on Broadminded” segments. The Broads and I will be discussing the loveliness that is adult acne and the best ways to fight it.
If your big zit can’t wait until tomorrow, check out the recent article on treating adult acne that I wrote for The Family Groove.
I’ll also be sticking around for American Idol recap, offering up my thoughts on all the lame contestants including Blake Lewis (a.k.a. Ben Mackenzie’s stunt double on The O.C.), Jordin Sparks (my new favorite, I guess) and Chris Richardson (please stop singing, which you do poorly, and just stand there and look cute, which you do quite well).

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.

Oh I can’t wait until that segment tomorrow. I found your blog about three weeks ago as a link off the broad’s website. I have been lurking silently until today (but really liked the changing pads post a week or so ago). I am having major acne issues as of late and I think part of it is baby related (as i am 11 weeks pregnant with my first child) but it was getting to be an issue before I found out - so this will be great.<BR><BR>Can’t wait to hear what you have to say tomorrow
Love the show - Love the blog!
Love this blog for its interesting posts!
