Little Mommy Day with Rosie Pope

Posted on by

It it hard to imagine a more exciting event for a doll-obsessed little girl.

Mattel, along with Rosie Pope, maternity designer and love her or hate her star of Bravo’s Pregnant in Heels and alice+olivia designer Stacey Bendet, hosted a special “Little Mommy Day” in anticipation of Mother’s Day and in celebration of Rosie’s partnership with the Little Mommy Brand.

Although not your typical sweater, jewelry, perfume bottle, flowers or a day at the spa that mom’s are used to getting for Mother’s Day, why not be creative this year and show your mom how much you really care by helping to kick her bad habit and make the switch to South Beach Smoke electronic cigarettes. When mom takes a puff of South Beach Smoke’s e-cigs, she’s not exposing herself or anyone else in the family to any of the unhealthy components found in traditional cigarettes, such as carbon monoxide, carcinogens, tobacco, tar or ash.
