Merry Christmas to Me From BellaVita USA

Having a newborn changes EVERYTHING! Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or they have two nannies per child ala the Jolie-Pitt family. One thing it changes or dare I say challenges is your organizational skills. Insert gratitude plug to BellaVita right here!

For example this year for Christmas I bought CJ nothing but some new hankies- since yes, he is a man in this day and age who actually carries and uses them. I guess it's a British/Australian thing and once you grow up doing it you don't stop. They were lovely though- one set was by Pierre Cardin and the others were monogrammed with his surname initial. His gift to me was something little as well that I picked out.

My parents did their due diligence with nice gifts- but let's be real when there is a newborn and the first gran in the family- one guess who's getting lavished with gifts.

That's why when I received an e-mail a few weeks ago from the folks at BellaVita USA asking me to review their product I was like, "Yay, a REAL Christmas present for me!" But the thing is that what I got wasn't just a cool present it was THE COOLEST gift that I didn't know how much I needed until I got it.

I became the proud owner of the Caramello (tan) BellaVita Vita Bacca iPhone 4/4S Wristlet Wallet. First of all, I'm just sick that I didn't come up with the idea myself a) because it looks great- very chic and b) it is 100% utilitarian especially with a newborn in tow. Oh, and anyone who's into authentic genuine leather would be very pleased with the touch and feel. (Coach you'd better watch your backs- there's a new game in town!)

The BellaVita Vita Bacca iPhone 4/4S Wristlet Wallet saved my you-know-what several times when I was home back in Texas. I was able to escape to the park on a solo walk with the dog. I didn't have pockets, and I certainly didn't want to carry my purse on the walk. But I had everything I needed right on my wrist, my phone, my ID, my money and a credit card- just in case.

When we went down to Austin and I had to run into the store for some organic diaper wipes. I didn't have to lug everything in with me. CJ stayed in the car with the baby- I grabbed my wristlet which had everything I needed in it and I popped in and out of the store in a flash. This thing is just perfect. A little too perfect.

Lunch at Neiman's showing off a little.

So perfect that my mother got a little jealous and kept mentioning how naked her iPhone was and how plain her case was. So guess who caved and will be buying another BellaVita Vita Bacca iPhone 4/4S Wristlet Wallet but this time I think I'll go for the Hot Berry.
