Holiday Swami Shopping

Have you seen these cute black hoodies with "Breathe" written on the front? I just love them... a holiday present for my best friend, and a holiday present for me, coming right up! And how fab are these winter Om hats with the ear flaps?!

If these pique your interest, too, don't miss Swami Baby Boutique's 2nd birthday, this Saturday (Dec. 5) when you'll find adorable clothes for baby and fashionable yoga-inspired wear for men and women, too. Plus, 20 percent of sales during the party will be generously donated to Blooming in Uganda. Enjoy food from Aunt Else's aebleskiver and a cake from Sweets Bake Shop—mmm!

Come celebrate Swami's birthday at Local D'lish, Saturday, from 5-7 p.m. at 208 1st St N, Minneapolis 55401. Happy holiday shopping!

Love,
Alisa, Sarah & the women of Blooma

Cute clothes, great cause

Don't miss the Hot Mama shopping event of the season! This Wednesday night, grab your girlfriends, your mom, your sister, your neighbor and come to Hot Mama's new Edina store (3914 W. 50th Street) from 4-7 p.m. for a private event to benefit Blooming in Uganda. (RSVP here.)

Not only will you get 15% off everything you buy, but you'll feel extra good knowing that ALL of the proceeds from Wednesday night's shopping event will help build a much-needed birth center in Uganda.

Nibble on appetizers from Broders Pasta Bar, get a make-up touch up from a MAC pro, and indulge in a chair massage.

Whether you're looking for a gorgeous dress to fit your growing belly, a new mom on the hunt for the perfect pair of jeans, or a fashionista who's not a mom at all, Hot Mama has something for everyone. (Think brands like Juicy Couture, Citizens of Humanity, Lucky, and lots, lots more.)

Entrance to this event is free, but since it's a private shindig, please RSVP. Hope you to see you Wed. night!

Love,
Alisa, Sarah & the women of Blooma

H&M Mama Maternity clothes!!

We got this great tip from Blooma mama Rebecca Blythe yesterday:

So. I went shopping the other day because I am trying to do SOMETHING about my postpartum wardrobe challenges. I went to H&M at the Mall of America figuring I could find a bunch of stuff that I could buy 2 sizes too big and not feel bad about spending a lot of money. As I was browsing I came upon the most exciting discovery. H&M Mama Maternity clothes! When I was pregnant 3 years ago and still living in NYC I got a lot of cute stuff there. Apparently, the MOA store just started carrying the line last Thursday, so it is brand new. It's enough to make me wish I was still pregnant. Anyway, pass it along with regards from me. I miss my prenatal yoga!
