OOH LA LA MAMA & JENNY MCCARTHY'S NEW BOOK!

Back in November, Ooh La La Mama was invited to provide shirts for Jenny McCarthy's new book - Healing and Preventing Autism available now. Not only did our shirts make it on the cover, but so did my son Max! (He's the cute redhead.) We had a blast at the photo shoot and are so excited the book is finally here. If you missed out on our exclusive the behind-the-scenes pictures at the photo shoot, click here.

Congrats on the book and maybe even a new talk show and deal with Oprah, Jenny! You go girl.

Diets, and fitness, and gurus, oh my!

I get that one of the most common New Year's resolutions is to lose weight. (It happens to be my resolution as well.) But I'm overwhelmed with all the lose weight, change your life, get slim tips that are EVERYWHERE. Couldn't they just spread it out over the year, when I'm losing motivation?



Oprah's got the best life thing and Martha's got the body and soul challenge. Even my beloved food network has been airing their "light" recipes. It's all great, but I've been gaining and losing 20-40 lbs at a time for the past ten years. I think following any type of plan is going to backfire for me. I was all for Oprah's thing until I heard the doctor on TV say, "no sugar." Restricting anything for me is always bad. As soon as I've met my goal, I go right back. Perhaps at least answering some of the questions as to why I'm fat would help. I may go online and take a look at it again. Mostly this year, I'm going to really try to make better food choices, control my portions, and get outside and move!



I signed up for unlimited stroller strides classes and have commited myself to going at least three times a week. My first class was this morning and it was great! Of course I won't be able to walk tomorrow and I've never felt so out of shape in my life, but I know if I keep it up I should start dropping pounds in no time. I also signed up for Bookieboo.com which is a social networking site for moms into fitness. I'm using it as a support system. Check it out and add me as a friend!



What's your fitness plan/fad diet of choice this year?

A Day with Jenny McCarthy

Chris, our Director of Sales and Marketing, Jenny, and Cindy

Ooh La La Mama recently custom designed five new T-shirts for actress, author, and activist, Jenny McCarthy! Jenny was given OLLM’s American Flag Tee for her son, Evan. She loved it so much, she requested five more flag inspired shirts to be photographed for the cover her new book on autism coming out in April. With one day’s notice, Cindy (owner and designer of OLLM) excitedly spent the entire night creating the tees based on the flags of Canada, Guatemala, Israel, Italy and Ireland. Cindy arrived in San Diego the next day on location at a hotel and hand delivered the tees. Jenny was super sweet and so excited to see the new designs. The only problem was, there were now 6 shirts (including the American Flag tee Evan already had) and only 5 models. Jenny wanted a child with red hair. Well, it was meant to be because Cindy’s son, Max, was a perfect fit! The shoot was so much fun and the tees turned out awesome! We can’t wait to show you the cover. For now, check out what went down at the shoot…

Jenny and the photographer...She's such a nice, warm person!!

Show us your muscles boys!

The whole crew...some of the kids were autistic, some weren't. They all did a wonderful job!
