If your newborn is colicky, overtired or just need to feel “snug like a bug in a rug” a swaddle is your baby’s best friend, next to your womb. So, if you are looking for the perfect wrap for your ‘lil peanut, then look no further.

As a new mom, I’ve tried them all and just ended tossing them all away after my newborn would escape from it.  Come the morning, I would wake up to find one of his legs or arms sticking out from an opening,  I soon feared the risk of SIDS and tossed them all away.  But not until when my friends over at BabyBonkie Swaddle sent me a sample for a product review, I was completely sold.  And you know me, I wouldn’t be spreading the love for just any product.

The Baby Bonkie is safe to use and swaddles your ‘lil one in three easy steps.  It comes in a variety of thicknesses (you wouldn’t believe how soft the lining is), POSH patterns (just for you fashionable moms) with no room for escaping. And come the winter time or if your room is a little chilly, try the lined Baby Bonkie…see, so many options for you to try.

I gave it a test run on my 2 month old nephew and he absolutely loved it. His mom use it throughout the night and said that it was one his (and hers) best nights ever.  The Baby Bonkie is the first I have seen that is truly able to accommodate a baby from newborn (7 pounds) to 5 months of age.

If you are interested in buying a Baby Bonkie, it can bought at stores around the county in addition to Nordstrom’s, Saks’s, and Barney’s, etc. or via http://www.babybonkie.com.

And because I love YOU, my readers, I am giving away one (1) swaddle to the lucky winner (selected randomly)!  This is one giveaway that you must not pass up!

All you need to do is leave a comment on this post, how easy is that?! Plus you get another entry for tweeting about it – make sure you include @mommyposh with a mention of this giveaway and you’ll be in the running! That’s two ways of winning this must-have item.

Sorry Miz Parker, but this is by far a fashionista DON’T…the high, stiff hair reminds me of the Cameron Diaz’ gel hair look in “There’s Something About Mary” (insert chuckle here).
So Mommy Posh teamed up withBecome.com, the all-in-one shopping advice site, to bring to you the best of best when it comes to Haircare tips.
Keeping your hair looking fresh and clean for the summer can dramatically regulate your body’s overall temperature, so here’s the top 5 cool-hair looks for summer 2011.
1. Pony Up: A ponytail is a styling basic – you can sport it in so many ways – worn on the side, poufed or touseld – which can be transformed from a day to night look. Jennifer Aniston (pic 1) has been quoted to liking the ponytail look because of the easy breezy-ness of it.  To get the look, apply finishing cream to washed hair before blow-dryingit smooth, gather hair into a medium-height and secure it with an elastic, use pomade on the tail to give it an even more smoother look. 

2. Shellac It Back: Keeping your hair back from your face can instantly keep you cool and keep your skin looking young and fresh.  Slick your hair up like Kourtney Kardashian (pic 2).  The key to getting this smooth style? While hair is wet, pull it super-tight, and use cheap hairspray for men for that extra smooth look.
