So recently the strap on my favorite purse broke. I tried many times to fix it and if you ask my husband I have carried this purse for too long and it was time for a new one. Easy for him to say, men just don’t understand. I even mentioned to him how looking into the idea of men wallets would be good for him, as he normally keeps his credit cards and money in his back pocket. Everyone needs a little accessory once in a while, even if it something as simple as a wallet. I think I might just get him one just to save time, as I have a feeling he might not do it any time soon. However, I couldn’t deny that my husband had a point…maybe it was time for a new handbag. Perhaps I could even treat myself to a new designer bag! Okay, this is a little out of our budget, but before I found the 88 brand, I had been looking at a Fake Gucci Bag online. It’s astonishing how fake brands can recreate these accessories so realistically.
When it comes to myself, there are so many things I need in a purse and although I know what it is I want, finding the right purse has been mission impossible. My requirements have changed a little over the last year, funny how motherhood can do that. When I found 88 I fell in love with the company before I fell in love with my purse.
About 88
I love the symbolic meanings behind the brand 88. There 88 constellations in the sky and in ham radio 88 is the sign off that means love and kisses. These two meanings stand out to me with this company since 88 is a vegan brand and no animal products are used. It’s great to see more and more vegan designer bags on the market as an animal-friendly option. Keeping the environment in mind with all aspects of production as well as keeping the quality of their products to high standards ensures that 88 is proud of every product they ship out. Always great when you get your hands on ethically made handbags to add your ever-growing collection.
88 donates a percentage of every sale to a charity that assists in educating women around the world. Believing that educating women is the key to a better world. 88 also encourages you to donate bags you no longer use to Dress for Success, a charity that helps women improve their own.
Like I said there many important factors that in my opinion make up the perfect purse. I feel functionality is so important when it comes to my handbag, but I hit the jackpot with the Jenny Hobo bag because not only is it beautiful it has everything I need in a purse. I need a handbag that works for my everyday life and has the room for adding a few baby items when I don’t feel like toting the diaper bag.
So let’s talk about the Jenny Hobo bag. Made with the highest quality vegan leathers this bag is so soft to the touch. With gorgeous detailing with the gilded chain on the shoulder strap and gold zipper on the outside pocket as well as a fun tassels (which are very entertaining for my 9 month old). The bag itself is large enough to hold everything I need as well as keeping everything organized with a zipper pocket on the inside.
I love that all the 88 handbags are so high fashion without breaking the bank. They make pretty much everything including wallets, clutches, crossbodys, totes and the coolest backpack I’ve ever seen. With their amazing pricing you don’t have to limit yourself to just one bag.

As a parent, getting away is one of the keys to a healthy marriage. My husband and I take off 1 day a year to be 24 hour kid free. We do this in April to celebrate our anniversary. Each year we choose to go back to the same place, Belamere Suites. This is because it is the most wonderful option found in the Midwest. Belamere Suites is a luxury suite hotel that is a child-free, 21 and older only location. Rated at the #9th best hotel in America, you know that you will be experiencing the best there is to offer.
Each suite is completely windowless for privacy and intimacy. With your own private garage, you will enter into your suite with ease and comfort. Every suite features vaulted ceilings, welcoming fireplaces, a Jacuzzi tub for 2 and a large walk in 2 person shower. Every comfort and detail was taken into consideration when designing these one-of-a-kind suites.
There are a ton of wonderful upgrades available to make your stay even that much more special. Click here to read the full list of enhancement options. I was able to experience the Anniversary Package. This includes rose petals in a heart shape on bed, pre-lit candles, Biaggi’s gift card (valued at $50), 2 in’spa’ration aromatherapy packets, early check-in, 2pm, late checkout, 1pm.
The spa packets are perfect for your Jacuzzi tub, allowing you to soak away your cares in a fun and relaxing environment. Plus, you know they are safe for the jets so you can splurge with peace of mind. Never use products in a jet tub like a Jacuzzi without being sure it wont harm the tub.
With the Anniversary Package upgrade your tub will be surrounded by gorgeous candles. The spa packets will be displayed and ready to be used. There is a flat screen TV that can be watched while you soak. You can enjoy each other company and watch a movie or show from the luxury of this massive tub.
Your bed will be covered with a beautiful rose petal heart along with rose petal accents placed by extra candles around the room. This gives you such a romantic and special vibe. The room is amazing in itself, but with the soft glow of the candles, it makes for a classy evening.
The Anniversary Package comes with a $50 gift card to Biaggi’s Restaurant located just down the street from Belamere Suites. I had the scallops and risotto and my husband had the steak salad. The wait staff was kind and fast. The food was delicious and well presented. Belamere Suites went ahead and made the reservations for us so all we had to do was show up and eat some amazing food. I loved that Biaggi’s was so close to the suite. I hate to loose time driving around looking for food. I want to spend my time in my suite enjoying all the amenities. This trip I was able to eat food good and get back to my room fast. This was a huge benefit of the Anniversary Package upgrade.
The Grand Royal Swimming Pool Suite, which is the suite I stayed in, features a sauna for 2. This dry heat sauna features a radio so you can enjoy whatever music you want while enjoying the heat. I love to turn on the sauna and allow it to heat up while I hang out in the heated pool. This way it’s all toasty for me when I walk in.
The pool is by far my favorite feature of this suite. The pool is heated and kept at 92 degrees. Keeping you warm, but not hot. This way I can stay in the pool for longer periods of time. There are ledges and seats around the edges giving you tons of options on where you want to sit and lounge. In the Grand Royal Swimming Pool Suite, there are candles (electronic) on the wall that can be controlled by light switch, giving the room that soft romantic lighting you swoon for.
The pool is 18 feet by 11 feet, giving you able room to swim laps, float around and stretch out. While swimming you can listen to the radio, CD or Bluetooth with the built in speaker system. I love how I can control the music we listen to. Switching it up as our mood changed and the evening progresses.
After you take a dip in the pool or the Jacuzzi you can wash up in the huge two person walk-in carrera marble shower. Each room has Bath and Body Works shower products provided for you during your stay. I love how there are multiple shower heads and jets giving you a full spa treatment.
The Grand Royal Swimming Pool Suite boasts a huge king sizes bed with a plush down comforter, 300 thread count sheets and 5 amazing pillows. Having a queen sized bed at home, the feeling of a king bed makes me feel “Royal” as the suite name suggests. There is a huge flat screen TV with a crazy amount of satellite channels are free and available for your viewing pleasure. My husband and I were so excited that we planned out night on the Game Of Thrones first episode of season 6! We were able to watch one of our favorite shows all cuddled up with zero chance of a child walking on and interrupting us! That was priceless in itself.
The staff at Belamere is first class. Each person I ever saw, whether the front desk staff or housekeeping they smiled and made you feel at ease. There kindness is so honest and sincer that I remember it as a primary reason I wanted to return after my 1st stay several years ago. Staff can make or break any experience and with Belamere Suites they only enhance the full experience. If you choose to stay for 1 night or several, you will not grow tired of these beautiful suites. Be sure to book in advance! These room go FAST! They are such a popular destination that I made sure to book several months ahead of time for the night we wanted. Get the best deals on rooms when you book Sunday-Thursday. Fridays and Saturdays book faster and cost more for the convenience. After your stay at Belamere Suites come back here and let me know how much you loved it!

MamatheFox is going to feature a fun and exciting bath or spa product each month!
As a mom I don’t get much alone time. Like ever. The time I do get alone is special and actually very cherished to me. I try to take 1 or 2 hours per week to myself. My children don’t sleep much (can I get an amen?!) so trying to take a moment to unwind is very important for my mental health. I know a few people who find things like these CBN Gummies Wholesale really help them feel calm and relaxed, but I’m not sure that they’re really my thing. And that’s the thing about relaxing – what works for one person won’t necessarily work for another. For me, personally, I know I need to turn off my screens, take a breath and remember to enjoy this moment that God has blessed me with. In order for me to fully scale back and turn off my constant running brain, I choose to take a bath. I don’t have a super fancy tub (thought I dream of having one…one day…). But you don’t need a fancy tub to have a spa experience. You only need a fun product or two to change the atmosphere. A bath bomb, some bubbles, a handful of salts can transform your average bathtub into a well-needed getaway. If you are a retailer then you know how easy it is to sell bath bombs. Many small businesses are starting to order wholesale bath bombsto keep prices down and provide more options for customers.
Each month on the right side bar (or bottom of the page for mobile readers) there will be a button with a promoted bath/spa product. This product will be reviewed by MamatheFox and the image will link back to the article. Most of the time there will be special discounts and offers available only to readers of MamatheFox. If you love to relax in the tub, or are looking for a fun way to unwind and indulge in some well deserved ‘me time’, this is going to be the place you want to keep checking back.
If you are a business and would like more information on being a featured product please contact Danielle at mamathefox at gmail dot com

1byone makes top of the line electronics for everyday people. Everyone I know loves music. I mean how can you not? Everyone has their genres, bands and melodies that resonate in their soul. In my house we constantly have music playing. We love to listen to the best playlists from sites like Mozaart.com. Its always in the background. In the summertime, my kids and I are outside most of the day. Last year we missed the music we love to listen to. I would try to have it come out of my cell phone but being knee-deep in their pool, working in the garden or by their water table – it was never a cell phone or electronic friendly environment. On top of that, we love going on walks and hikes in the summer and it was always hard to get the music loud enough where everyone could hear it. We went hiking with our friends and they had the soundboks 2 speaker which was just amazing. The sound quality was so clear that I needed to find a speaker like that but was a little smaller and more easily portable. This is what has spawned the emerging trend of devices designed for use in the great outdoors like the outdoor empire radios.
This summer and for now on, I am so excited to have a 1byone Outdoor Sport & Shower Speaker. There are a TON of speakers on the market. I see them online and in stores all the time. But what makes a speaker stand out? What makes you want to buy a particular one? Here are a few reasons why this 1byone speaker is the choice for you.
You Can Use it By Water
This speaker is waterproof and can be used in showers or by bathtubs and pools. Having electronic by water can be a scarey thing. I am constantly scared of electric shock. You should NEVER submerge an electronic in water. However, there are products that can survive some splashing and water condensation – the 1byone Outdoor Speaker is one of them. This speaker can be placed by a shower, tub or pool and can handle some splashing. No more fear of destruction of the device when your kids splash around like you know they are going to do. Looking to lounge in your tub and unwind to some soothing tunes? Planning a romantic getaway with your significant other? Going to the pool this summer? All these situations which you will inevitably incur, you will want a 1byone Speaker.
You Can Use it in Dusty Areas
Do you or someone you know work in a dirty/dusty environment? Construction, warehouses, factories? All these places have dust and other materials flying around. All those foreign objects can harm your technology, including your music speaker. Now you can use a 1byone speaker. No worries about it dying due to exposure to dust.
Smartphone to Bluetooth Capable
This 1byone Speaker can hold music that you load onto a TF slot card or can play music off a Smart device using Bluetooth. Most the time I am listening to Pandora or I Heart Radio. Now I can stream my music stations from my phone to the Speaker. This makes it easy to use and gives me to variety and kinds of music I want to hear. If you are going campingand know that you will not have access to cell phone signal you can easily store music to the speaker itself with the TF card slot.
The Bluetooth capabilities makes this great for walks through a forest, or around the park. Take it on picnics, family vacations or to the gym. In fact, this speaker is the perfect size to take to the gym in your tracksuit pocket, meaning you don’t have to worry about storage. The speaker has been trialled by holding it in the gym throughout a workout in womens tracksuits and it proved light, loud and to have a strong battery!
It’s Small and Easy to Store
No one needs large and bulky items to store and carry around. This 1byone Speaker is easy to carry and store! It’s lightweight making it not a burden when its in your purse, diaper bag, camping bag, luggage or in your hall closet. If you are a minimalist, then this is the speaker for you
Long Battery Life
The 1byone Outdoor Speaker can hold up to 7 hours of uninterrupted sound before you need to recharge. The 1400 mAh battery is easy to recharge and holds the perfect amount of playtime you need. You can also keep it plugged in and use it while it charges if you choose it.
