@Camara.Crew Stamp of Approval:
I have to say that I 100% agree with Lisa in that my favourite item from her shop would have to be the scrunchies! I picked up 4 scrunchies from Lisa at the @themodernmomshow. I'll be honest, two were for me, two were for a gift! However, I seriously considered keeping all 4 for myself because I loved them so much! I just had to have The Christian Grey Scrunchie as soon as I saw the name of it! Whether its in my hair or on my wrist, it always makes me giggle when I think of the name of the scrunchie! ;)
My other favourite product of Lisa's is her Mom Bod Sweaters (she also has t-shirts!). The fit and quality is amazing. Everytime I put it on (which dare I say is multiple times a week!) it is a great reminder for me to rock my mom bod and to be happy in the skin I have.
One of the things I love about Lisa and her company is that she is passionate about sending positive messaging. Whether it is about rocking your mom bod, believing in yourself or uniting in motherhood she is truly inspirational!
