Introducing… Hot Mamas Know

November 7, 2007 – 8:30 am


CLICK HERE to go to this month’s edition of Hot Mama’s Know!

Welcome to Hot Mamas Know, where we moms share our tried & true beauty secrets, giggle, act foolish, and generally have a rip-roarin’ good time.

I can’t WAIT to hear what juicy beauty tips you have up your sleeves. In fact, I’m positive that by the end of this, I’ll have a glow to rival Jennifer Lopez. At least that’s what I’m hoping.

Here’s the drill for those of you want to participate in Hot Mamas Know.

1) On the 1st day of the month (or somewhere around there), post one of your beauty tips. It can be anything, from skin care to makeup, a fun hairdo or your all-time favorite product… Include lots of detail, and don’t be afraid to use pictures! (example)

2) In your post, make sure to link back to my post so that your readers can browse through all the great beauty tips. And, if you like, you can include the EXCLUSIVE Hot Mamas Know graphic that’s displayed above.

Copy and paste this code to add the graphic into your post:


And don’t stop there! Go here to get other sizes of Hot Mamas Know buttons to squeeze into your blog’s sidebar. (but only, of course, if you want to)

3) The evening before the big day, I’ll post my very own Hot Mamas Know secret along with a fancy gizmo whereby you can add a link to your site on my post. Once your own post is up, come on over to Absolutely Bananas and link up.

4) Everyone is welcome to participate. Well, except for dads. Sorry to be discriminatory, but really, we DON’T want to know.

5) Don’t tell me you don’t have any tips. Seriously. Nothing??? Get yourself an issue of Glamour, girl, and stop spending so much time on the Internet!

That’s it! Together we CAN beautify the blogosphere! (Come on now, is there a more noble cause than that? I mean REALLY!) (don’t answer that)

    You so totally rock the button making. It’s so pretty, I HAVE to join. Even if I know nothing NOTHING about beauty secrets.

    I wear chapstick, not lipstick. :-)

    Love this idea, but I have to say you might need more than a beauty product to get J LO’s current glow :).

    I think you need to go into the html editor and wrap your button code in a textarea tag in order to show the code for button snatching.

    Great button!

    I love this idea! I do something already on Thursdays, but will post anyway on Wednesdays and link up to you - is that okay? My posts are always under “Ask The Wrinkle-Rexic”

    For what it’s worth, here’s yesterday’s post…and I’ll hook up your great button.

    Yo! Do you have html for a smaller button? I just put yours up and it doesn’t fit in my sidebar.

    Jen-
    No problem doing it a different day. Consider these rules to be, err, “guidelines” that are easily broken! Ha!

    I’ll throw together a smaller button. This ginormous monstrosity is intended to be in-post… it’ll definitely throw you sidebar all out of wack! ;)

    The button officially rocks. What program are you using to make those?

    I’m game…off to add yet another of your buttons. :)

    I am a lazy beautifier. Make-up, a little hair straightening, a shower of course, and I’m good to go, lol.
