Keisha Castle-Hughes Takes Daughter To The Zoo

15 Jul, 2008  No Comments Stumble Digg

18-year-old movie star, Keisha Castle-Hughes and her partner Bradley Hull, 21, took their 14-month-old daughter, Felicity-Amore Hull, to meet cheetahs Delta and Charlie at Wellington Zoo on Saturday.

“Basically the cheetahs sit on a log and visitors pat them and pick up their tails if they want,” a zoo spokeswoman said. “It’s a really good way to get up close to an endangered animal.”

Though Castle-Hughes declined to comment on the visit, zoo staff said she and her family enjoyed it.

Nicole Kidman is Not Looking To Sell Photos Of Sunday

15 Jul, 2008  1 Comment Stumble Digg

The NewYorkDaily news is reporting that Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban are going against the Hollywood grain and not looking to sell photos of their new baby.

“They don’t think it’s appropriate to make deals,” a source close to the couple told Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald. “They are still deciding how they feel about [it].”

The couple welcomed Sunday Rose on July 7.

I can’t help but feel that it is tacky to ’shop’ photos of your new baby to the highest bidder unless ALL of the money is being donated to a worth while charity.
Nicole Kidman is and always will be - a classy lady. Tiger Woods and Salma Hayek took the high road and released photos of their new babies - without payment - so that the world would be appeased.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Nicole and Keith did the same thing.

Pregnant? Avoid flip-flops!

15 Jul, 2008  No Comments Stumble Digg

Even woman who has been pregnant knows that simple foot wear works the best during the last few months of pregnancy.


Contrary to what most people think, experts say that flat shoes, like high heels, are not suitable for expecting mothers.

Ms Jessie Phua, a senior podiatrist at Changi General Hospital, calls ultra-low footwear such as flat pumps and flip-flops “bad footwear”, which are “not meant for daily use”.

The reasoning: Similar to high heels, flipflops are unable to provide the stability and support needed especially during pregnancy when the woman’s “back takes on a fair amount of added load and stress”.

And if you do slip, there’s a good chance you won’t be able to catch your fall, warned Dr Ang Huai Yan, an obstetrician and gynaecologist in private practice.

“With slippers, there’s nothing to hold onto the base of the foot. Also, a lot of ladies’ sandals are made of smooth bases which can be very slippery,” she said.

“Ideal footwear should have ankle straps such as Velcro fasteners or laces, have a broad base at the heel and forefoot and extra depth if there is swelling,” she said.

Dr Ang also advised against buying closed toe shoes for mums with swollen feet. New footwear should also be bought to keep up with your feet’s changing sizes.

Teutonia Stroller Creating Lots Of Buzz

The latest stroller creating a ton of Buzz is the Teutonia.


For over 60 years, Teutonia has been making strollers and nothing but strollers, and has become a leading stroller company in Germany and one of the top sellers throughout Europe.

After becoming a part of the Newell Rubbermaid family of companies in 2007, Teutonia has branched out to cover the North American market so look for these strollers to start to hit a park near you.

What makes this stroller so great?

Unlike any other product on the market, the Teutonia stroller is FULLY customizable.

Parents will have their choice of 3 chassis’, 3 seats with 9 colours, 3 floral choices, 15 accent fashions and 2 wheel types.

In short, the chances of your stroller showing up at the same mall as you would be slim to none because it is fully customized by you.

A couple things I like is the cool accessories that are available with this stroller. Northern moms will appreciate the fleece-lined t-handmuff. This cool extra will keep the driver’s hands stay warm and buried in a two-sided weatherproof shell. It snaps right onto the handle of every teutonia stroller chassis, ensuring warm, dry hands for mom, dad or whoever is pushing.
