Wording by Kym

mum to a beautiful 4 year old girl named Charm. We live on the Gold Coast, in the lush hinterland of the Currumbin Valley. I started my business “Up the Duff” Belly Art 6 months ago, painting murals on friends belly’s for fun.

I travel to you and baby showers are my specialty. You can use your own design or pick one of mine. I use non toxic face paints and after my masterpiece is complete I send you a choice of 6×4 or 8×10 photos.

For a unique and memorable baby shower, please book ahead on 0755330217 or 0410531971,

Happy days and Belly rubs, from Kym :-)  

Thanks for sharing Kym… wow… some great designs here I am sure many mums in your area would love to get done.  What a great photo keepsake these would be for the child when they are older too!

  Featured Business

Are you expecting a baby?  Looking for gorgeous maternity wear thats full of quality, thats stylish and wont break the budget?  look no further…Queen Bee is your answer. 

Queen Bee® is an exclusive Australian online boutique which brings you a fabulous range of stylish, quality maternity and nursing wear sourced from Sydney and around the globe. Founded in May 2005 by Sharon (mother of 2 adorable boys) and nurtured with devotion, passion and much dedication - queen bee has evolved into the most sought after online shopping destination on every pregnant ladies wish list! 

Why shop with Queen Bee? - recognised for our extensive collection from basics to evening wear, we have over 50 pregnancy fashion labels in immediate stock to select from.   Combined with our super FAST delivery, excellent customer service and easy return/exchange policy - our mission is to make every ladies transition to motherhood as fashionable as it is beautiful.   As a breastfeeding mother to my two boys (mitchell till 3 years, koby still feeding at 2 years!) I am passionate about stylish nursing wear and am proud to stock by far the most stylish range in Australia

What sets us apart from the rest? - VERSATILITY, QUALITY, STYLE and COMFORT are qualities synonymous across our brands - we want mummies to both feel fabulous and look fabulous at such an important and special stage of their lives.  Best of all, whether it be work wear or maternity jeans - all our pieces are so stylish they can be worn well after baby is born!  Aussie celebrities toni pearen and catriona rowntree are firm queen bee fans…

Pregnancy fashion tips

1.  A great pair of maternity jeans is a must-have in your maternity wear wardrobe.  Too many women try to wear non-maternity jeans when they are pregnant but in bigger sizes to fit the belly.  The problem with this is that they tend to look baggy and ill-fitting everywhere else.  Queen Bee has a great range of maternity jeans

 

4.  Empire line tops are not only comfortable but flattering in that they enhance your beautiful (ever changing!) shape.  Match it with jeans, pants or a pencil skirt.  The Milky Way Taylah Shirred Maternity/Nursing top has beautiful angle wing sleeves and comes in a gorgeous jewel purple.

 5.  With your bust growing it is important to invest in a few maternity/nursing bras.  Perfect for mums-to-be who want extra bust support at night during their pregnancy.  Also, once your baby is born, it is also great for breastfeeding.  Queen Bee’s Milla Rose pink nursing bra is easy to wear, just slip it on – as there are no hooks or clips! And has discreet inseam pockets on the inside to put breastpads.

Cake was born in 2008 when its founder; Tracey Montford yearned for beautiful lingerie during her pregnancy. All she could find was matronly, high cupped, uninspiring and unflattering product which did nothing for her self esteem and pride, during this period of vulnerability.

She chose to do something about it herself, designing Cake Lingerie to give pregnant and breast-feeding mothers an opportunity to ‘Celebrate Motherhood’ as every mother deserves the best.

Cake Lingerie is attracting tremendous worldwide acclaim, stocked in over 100 high end lingerie and maternity boutiques around the world and growing. Created for the new generation of mothers, Cake continues to infuse high standards of style, innovation and technology to bring immense joy to women around the world.

Why Cake?

Cake is rich, fun, indulgent, satisfying and delicious! Cake Lingerie embodies these very same emotions. And it has been created with you in mind.

Cake Lingerie is an Australian designer brand, specialising in the creation of luxurious maternity lingerie, nursing bras, sleepwear and nightwear.

Celebrating Motherhood

 Featured MUM in BUSINESS

La Toriana would like to help celebrate and showcase the many talented mums in business.  I know how hard it can be juggling business, kids and family, so I really take my hat off to the many wonderful and talented mums in business out there. Amanda was one of our Facebook winners!!

Amanda is a mum of 5 kids, ages are : Matthew almost 24yrs, Stephen almost 21 yrs, Daniel just turned 18yrs’ Rachel  11yrs’ Joanne 9yrs.   She is also a grandmother of Haylee Louise who just turned 2yrs.  Amanda tells us all about her business… its totally gorgeous!

At Bodelicious, there is something here for everyone.  Mums you will love this range and is great for baby gifts too.  Tell us which is your favourite

  In this modern and hectic society we all demand the highest quality and safety standards when it comes to our children. Whether we are looking for organic food or clothes, nappies or toys, we want the best. This should also apply to products that we use on our baby’s skin.

Bodelicious is proud to offer an affordable, environmentally friendly, natural range of multi-purpose baby products for busy mums today who are always on the go.

We believe that when using products on your baby they should be as safe & natural as possible. With this in mind we created our babylicious range using nourishing plant oils, organic beeswax, organic botanicals and hydrosols, essential oils and mild, environmentally friendly soap free wash (derived from coconut oil) that won’t irritate baby’s delicate skin.

It is not recommended to use essential oils on premature or newborns up to two months of age, so Bodelicious offers you a range of scent-free products for them, so that you can give them the best start in life.

 We also offer a range of natural and gentle mummy-to-be products, because at this special time in your life, you need a little extra care. It’s true that there is no cure for stretch marks, but you can help to prevent them starting and minimise their severity by keeping the skin on your growing belly supple and nourished with our belly oils and butters.

Our Babylicious range of products and gift baskets also make an excellent addition to product lines that are found in baby specialty shops, florists and gift basket business’s, so feel free to contact us for more information.

  *~* SPECIAL DEAL *~*

..I would like to offer a free random product to any orders placed through my website OR via email. To make sure they get this special offer that is only available through this deal they would need to put in the comments section of checkout the word La Toriana Special and if ordering via email they would need to mention the special offer as well.
