A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending an event in NYC, where we were treated to lunch and great conversation with other media moms and Molly Sims. The event was hosted by The Moms. At the event we enjoy super delicious food from the bistro but also learned about the movie 40 Weeks, which is the first movie to document all 40 weeks of pregnancy. And we also spoke to Molly Sims about her beauty secrets, her routine and her new book.

This was definitely an afternoon of learning. I had no idea about the story behind the movie 40 Weeks. Turns out, husband and wife teamed up to create this documentary so women going through pregnancy would have real life, visual accounts of things that go on during this time. It’s makes pregnancy more relatable and almost easier. Beats reading a book. It was so special to hear the director of the movie speak about his wife and pregnancy and his daughter. Christopher Henze the co-director of the movie spoke of such passion and expressed so much gratitude to his wife for allowing him to be a dad, that he felt this was the way to give back to women.

After we listened to the Big Belli Co. founders, we got a chance to hear Molli Sims speak about her beauty routine and how important her skin is to her. This is one of the topics she talks about in her new book “The Everyday Supermodel”. In the book, she also talks about beauty routine and style ideas for the everyday mom. My favorite section was on how to use a scarf. I think the book is fabulous. It really does give us an insight into the life of a real life supermodel. It is amazing that she would let us in to soo many tricks!

This was a great time with friends and hearing Molly talk about what she does to look fabulous was amazing. Not only was she SUPER friendly by chatting with me about where I was from and stuff, but she also let me touch her belly! I LOVE baby bumps, so this one was a special one.

Thanks to The Moms for this once in a lifetime opportunity.
