Review: Mum+Bub hair and body wash

I love, love, love hair and body washes for my kids, but this one will work for me too!  Score!

aa logo Review:  Mum+Bub hair and body washAbout Aden+Anais (from their website)

When Raegan Moya-Jones moved from her native Australia to the US and started a family, she brought with her many traditions of motherhood. Passed down from mother to daughter for generations, these traditions bound the women in her family and her culture together.
But, of course, a lot had changed. Cloth diapers were replaced with disposable ones. Home-sterilized glass bottles were now dishwasher-safe plastic. Strollers had gone from buggy-sized to nearly the size of an SUV.
What surprised Raegan most about the traditions she was taught wasn’t what changed, however. It was what hadn’t. For as long her mother or her grandmother could remember, mothers in Australia swaddled their babies. And they did it in pure cotton muslin.
No matter how hot it got in Australia, babies always seemed comfortable and cool during the summer months. And no matter how chilly the night air became in the evenings, muslin swaddling always seemed to protect babies from ever noticing the chill.
When Raegan started her own family, she knew that swaddling in muslin would be a part of her traditions as a mother. But when she tried to find a swaddle like the ones she remembered from home, she couldn’t. Those that she did find were too small; too thick and heavy; too restrictive; too unattractive.
So, she did what any mother would: she made sure her children could have the very best by rolling up her sleeves and getting to work. And that’s why she started aden + anais.
Raegan designed a swaddle large enough to be truly useful to mothers– and not just for swaddling but as a stroller cover, nursing shield, tummy time blanket, or a burping cloth. She found the softest, gentlest muslin she could to fashion them out of. And she started creating colorful, modern prints that would transform this simple tool of motherhood into something stylish and fun for both baby and mom.
Now, she’s a Mom on a Mission… bringing the benefits of swaddling and the world’s best baby products to mothers around the world through aden + anais.

My Thoughts

This smells great!  I was able to use it on three of my little girls and me and I think it’s GREAT!  My kiddos smell great and their hair looks fantastic!  No tears formula and not bad for them!  I love two-fers!  The fact that I was able to use it too, made it so much easier to pack for our weekend trip!  I only needed the one bottle!  I like the pump too!  A fantastic product!

My Thoughts
I got this just in time for my one-year-old to start teething (she has three teeth that are just coming in this month).  Her doctor had just told us about the different dosing depending on whether you were using the old or new acetaminophen.  So, I was thrilled to have this available, with the right dosing!  Even better was the way the bottle was made with the little hole (flow restrictor) and the syringe that you can stick in the bottle upside down to fill it up exactly where you want it!  And the syringe is labelled, so you know it’s for the Infant Acetaminophen!  Awesome!  My baby loves it!  She has been so sad while teething and within minutes of getting a dose, she is back to her happy self!  Phew!  Today she even pointed at the top of the fridge when she started getting cranky and impatiently waited for her next dose and had no problem opening her mouth for her medicine!  Hurray!

Review: Dr.’s Remedy Fall Fever and Jolly & Joy Nail Colors

I love nail polish (as do my girls)!  I also like Dr.’s Remedy, because their products are so much healthier, so I was excited to try out their two latest lines-Fall Fever and Jolly & Joy.

Puple Polish Review:  Dr.s Remedy Fall Fever and Jolly & Joy Nail Colors

About Dr.’s Remedy

Healthier looking, Stronger looking, more beautiful nails… It’s that simple.

Dr.’s REMEDY® Enriched Nail Polish is the only over the counter enriched polish, created by doctors, designed to be free from
harmful toxins.

Use Dr.’s REMEDY®

  • As a healthier alternative to commercial nail polish
  • If you suffer from:
    • nail fungus
    • brittle, discolored nails
    • have an allergy to chemicals in commercial nail polish
    • are pregnant

Dr.’s REMEDY® is also great for kids!

Dr.’s REMEDY® is Naturally Unique:
Free from toxins found in most commercial nail polish (DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde)

Developed by Doctors

Only Dr.’s REMEDY® is ENRICHED WITH NATURAL INGREDIENTS.

About Their New Color Lines

Fall Fever includes:  Defense Deep red: a rich bordeaux with a mystifying matte finish, Balance Brick: a modern maroon with body and balance, and Nobel Navy: a sea-at-dusk shade that reflects lights and brings dimension to tips and toes alike.

Jolly & Joy includes:  Revive Ruby Red: a shimmer-infused, Wizard of Oz-inspired shade of crimson, Passion Purple: a bombshell-boysenberry with subtle silver meshed throughout, Essential Emerald: a take on the classic tree-and-plant-inspired gem of a shade, with delicate glimmer and unparalleled amounts of glamour, Serene Silver Glitter: a seasonal sizzler like no other; shine, chic, totally unique in the metallic scene, and Resolution Red Glitter: a red-meets-copper spin that’s sequin-look-alike laden with high-shine and sparkle.

My Thoughts

I love these nail polishes!  I love that I can let my girls paint theirs or my nails and if it gets on my skin, it’s not a big deal!  The bottles are a lot bigger than the ones you would buy at a store, so you’re getting considerably more for a much better product!  It also stays on for a good amount of time without looking chipped.  I had my toenails painted (my four-year-old did it) two weeks ago and they still look fantastic!  As for my favorite colors, I prefer the Glitters for the pure fun of it, but I also really like the Ruby Red and the Balance Brick.  All of the colors have great coverage with just one layer-except Emerald!  But, it’s such a pretty color you won’t mind putting the second coat on!  All-in-all I thoroughly recommend these products!

Buy it!

You can buy them at the store here for $14-17 each.  Or you can buy them on sale from Black Friday to Cyber Monday!  They are all $14 with free shipping for those three days!  Great deal!

My Thoughts

I got FIVE different colors in the mail and they are ALL awesome!  I was just hoping for some pretty polishes that would strengthen my unhealthy nails and I got so much more!  They are big bottles!  We’re not talking the $1 Wet n Wilds by any means!  They are .5 fl oz.  They have Tea Tree Oil, Vitamins, and Wheat Protein!  They have NO Dibutylphthalate, Toluene, or Formaldehyde!  We opened them up and although they still have the nail polish smell, it isn’t strong at all!  I was able to paint mine and all four of my girls’ nails and there was no after smell!  I was comfortable even painting my baby’s nails, because there weren’t all of those harsh chemicals!  I just painted her toenails (while she was sleeping).  I still wouldn’t suggest painting baby/toddler’s fingernails, especially if they suck their thumb, but my 2-year-old (resident thumb-sucker) did have her nails painted and the thumb she sucks is now paint-less.  So, you can use it as a deterrent to help stop thumb-sucking (because they’ll lose their nail color).  The colors are very vibrant!  My nails are already feeling stronger and healthier (after only a week)!  I LOVE them!

They are $17 each here.

Giveaway: Green Babies Body Care Line

I was thrilled to try out this baby body care line!  Green Babies body care sounded like something I should be very interested in as a parent!

My Thoughts

I used the bubble baths and it bubbles very nicely!  My kids love bubbles, so that was very important!  It is healthy, so I wasn’t worried about my baby eating the bubbles (just a few)!  The shampoo and body wash was fantastic!  It has a nice, light smell and was much easier to get out than other shampoos!  I wasn’t worried about any getting in her eyes, because it really is tear-free!  It kept her hair nice and soft!  The lotion went a loooong way!  So, just use a little bit!  I really liked that it was natural, but still had some of that tell-tale baby scent that I love!  The scents are all very nice, and not overpowering!  I really appreciated that!  All together, I think this line is fantastic!  It works great and isn’t a bad price for a green product!

Buy it!

You can buy the products in their line:  Energizing or Calming Bubble Bath, Shampoo & Wash, Smooth Me Detangler, and Lotion Potion Moisturizer for $8.99-$10.99 each here!
