Recall Alert: Maxi-Cosi Updates Recall with Additional Model

by Karly WoodSeptember 14, 2021

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has recalled certain Maxi-Cosi cat seats, in cooperation with Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc. The initial recall notice included the Maxi-Cosi Pria 85 and Pria 85 Max convertible seats, and now includes the Pria 70 as well.

The recalled seats are for children nine to 70 pounds and have found to not adequately protect from head injury if involved in a crash, when installed in the forward-facing position and secured using the lap belt without also using the top tether. Keep reading to see more details of the recall.

When used in both the rear and forward-facing modes with children up to 65 pounds according to proper installation methods, all models can continued to be used. As of now, there have been no issues of injuries reported.

Currently, the NHTSA has not released a course of action if you have the affected seats. However, if you have questions, you can contact a Maxi-Cosi customer service representative by calling 877-657-9546, emailing Pria85recall@djgusa.com or visiting consumercare.maxicosi.com/s/contactsupport.

Another Silver Lining for Jennifer Lawrence: Baby on the Way!

by Sarah ShebekSeptember 9, 2021

J-Law is pregnant! One of the most popular stars of the last decade is expecting with husband Cooke Maroney. The couple tied the knot in October 2019, and their latest round of happy news comes almost exactly two years later.

Lawrence keeps private on social media, but her representative confirmed the news first to People Magazine. She’s been linked to Maroney, an art dealer, since 2018, and this will be their first child together. Maroney also keeps a low profile on social media, with a private Instagram account.

The world’s highest-paid actress in 2015 and 2016, Lawrence has starred in a multitude of popular movies, including The Hunger Games series, Silver Linings Playbook and X-Men. She’ll appear next in Don’t Look Up, a science-fiction blockbuster film that’s packed with star power and set to premiere in December.

It sounds like the couple will be fantastic parents since Lawrence called Maroney “the greatest human being I’ve ever met” in a podcast interview with Catt Sadler in 2019. No due date has been announced yet, but we can’t wait for more details on the new addition!

Baby Jo Is Here & We’re in Love with His Unique Name

by Sarah ShebekAugust 18, 2021

ScarJo and Colin Jost (CoJo?) are parents! They’ve welcomed their first baby together and he has an adorable name—Cosmo! Jost shared the news on Instagram this afternoon, a big reveal after the couple kept the pregnancy mostly under wraps.

Cosmo joins Rose, Johansson’s daughter from a previous marriage. After Johansson met Jost in 2017, the couple was engaged two years later and married privately last year. The couple packs a powerhouse punch on the screen: Johannsson was the world’s highest paid actress in 2018 and 2019 and Jost has starred on Saturday Night Live for years.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Colin Jost (@colinjost)

In Jost’s Instagram post, he wrote “Ok ok we had a baby. His name is Cosmo. We love him very much” with humorous hashtags #wegotawaywithitforalongtime #nokidspolicy #weregoingtodisneyworld. Meanwhile Johansson keeps a low profile on social, but press noted that she conducted her media appearances for her newest movie, Black Widow, virtually.

Congratulations to the happy couple and welcome Cosmo to the world!

by Karly WoodAugust 18, 2021

As much as we love online shopping, there are always time you need something NOW. When that happens, it usually means packing the entire fam into the car for a road trip of errands.

Now, moms have one less trip to make as Ulta is moving into Target! Starting this month, Ulta Beauty at Target is debuting at 100 Target stores and target.com with more than 50 prestige brands for cosmetics, hair, skin, body and fragrance.

While the initial roll out only includes 100 stores (you can see which locations here), Target plans to reach a total of 800 locations in the future. The “shop-in-shop” concept will be near the existing beauty section and will be packed with displays, discovery zones and seasonal items.

Not only that, but you can shop using both your Target Circle and Ultamate Rewards programs! Tack on your RedCard and you’re saving big bucks (plus, not having to drive to another store!).

If you’re not near a Target where Ulta will be moving, you can still grab what you need from Target.com using the retailer’s same-day delivery using Shipt.
