Something For Mummy

It's nice to know there are some lovely products out there for us mama's when we like to get dressed up. Sante, is my favourite cosmetic company. The products are all made with certified natural ingredients and they are such excellent quality, I highly recommoend them.

My favourite little purse product is their gorgeous lipgloss. I just like it on it's own, but you can also wear it over lipstick for extra glossy lovely-lips.

Natural Protection From Nappy Rash

You may be looking for something safe and gentle to protect your baby’s skin from nappy rash and redness. A baby’s skin is very sensitive and sometimes, especially where it is in contact with a wet nappy, can get irritated, chafed, sore and red. Many baby skin care products on the market contain mineral oils and synthetic chemicals. Mineral oils clog the pores and interfere with the skins ability to eliminate toxins. Mineral oils may also be absorbed into the body through the skin and hinder the absorption of dietary minerals by competing with minerals supplied in the infant’s milk and food. This can cause deficiencies in essential minerals needed by your baby. Chemicals absorbed through the skin have adverse affects on the health of the infant. You really do not want your infant to develop baby eczema, as the common medical treatment is cortisone cream, which may have long-lasting bad affects on the health of your baby. So it is wise to find safe and gentle baby products that are all natural and do not contain mineral oils or toxic chemicals. Nappies made with organically produced materials will reduce the problem of nappy rash, but due to the constant moisture in the nappy area, if there is redness and chafing it would be beneficial to use a protective barrier cream.

NatureBub has a natural organic baby lotion that will protect baby’s most delicate skin, gentle enough for newborns. For extra protection when there is redness and chafing, the all natural baby barrier balm provides protection from moisture, soothes irritated skin and calms redness.For a range of toxic free, organic natural baby care products visit http://www.naturebub.com/skincare.

Healthy Baby

There are so many baby products available these days. It's important to be aware of the ingredients of the products you use on your babies skin. I don't use anything that isn't 100% natural, which means being able to understand every word on the label. Many baby products contain parabens, mineral oil and/or synthetic fragrance which are not good for your baby’s skin.
Approximately 60% of anything you put on a baby's skin can be absorbed into their system, so it makes perfect sense to only use very natural products.
We have a lovely range of organic baby skin care products that nourish and protect your baby's beautiful sensitive skin.
I personally love the 'Baby Bottom Cleanser', it smells sooo lovely!

Living Less Toxic

There are so many toxins in the world, it’s really quite overwhelming when you start to think about all the things that you need to avoid to live a less toxic lifestyle. There are certain things that you can change to at least keep a balance on things.
Over the next few days I'll write about a few of the things that I do to stay a little more clear...

BODY… Using products on your body that aren’t full of synthetic chemicals is a very good idea. Choosing a product that is made with organic or at least natural ingredients is going to be much more beneficial for your skin in the long term. Ingredients from nature will actually feed your skin and give it added nutrients. Be really careful though, and always look at the packaging, lots of products will say ‘natural’ or ‘with added green tea, jasmine' etc, but if you look at the ingredients, it may actually be a cocktail of chemicals, mostly with names that I can’t recognize, and then somewhere in there a little bit of jasmine or some other 'natural ingredient', just to make it sound better. Also beware of fragrances, unless it says ‘pure, or 100% essential oil’, it’s usually a synthetic fragrance. Again, a toxic mix of chemicals.
All of the products we put on our body can either nourish it, or cause a build up of toxins, which could eventually lead to a toxic over-load, and sickness.
