It’s the last day to win our bumper Christmas prize. I thought I would end off the competitions by doing a quick recap of what exactly you can win. Will announce on my facebook page in the morning so you might want to like the page 🙂
So here’s a quick recap…and for a final entry why not tell me what you like most about my blog and then I can look into including more of what you guys want on the blog in the future.
Today I add the final item to the box and its from the The Name Company….
If you are wondering, who The Name Company is, well they used to be called Babebee Products and they used to stock my products actually 🙂 Until the time monster ate up all my time. Bridgette who happens to be one of my favourite online humans (that’s what I call my friends who I am yet to meet in person) is giving one of you lucky people these awesome Christmas tree decorations which you can personalise with your favourite photos.
One of the benefits of embracing your natural hair is that you don’t have to plan swimming trips around your hairdressers schedule. The amount of times I have either heard or said the phrase: “I’d swim but I don’t want to get my hair wet/spoil my style”, is quite frankly insane. You don’t have that with natural hair, you don’t have to calculate the money wasted on your hair if you go take a dip. But as with everything regarding natural hair;  it’s not quite as easy as it looks.
So I decided to share some tips and tricks with you. Some are from trial and error and others are from a trained professional…You’re welcome
If you had to be graded and handed a parenting report card, do you think you would be happy with the results? This thought occurred to me yesterday as I was sitting flat on my behind in our driveway cradling my disappointed son. A son who had just asked if I wanted him to find other parents? Because sometimes we (Rob and I) make him feel like we don’t want to be his parents…..QUEUE HEARTBREAK!
For background…Aidan is four, he is a very perceptive four-year-old, but like many preschoolers he can be manipulative and cunning, he can tell you he hates you without blinking an eye and when he is caught doing something naughty he will launch into a monologue about how he hates himself and should be locked up in jail– so you end up consoling him instead of reprimanding him. This aside, it’s NEVER NICE to hear that your kid isn’t too sure of your intentions.
Bubiroo is the latest in skincare for kids and it’s made right here in the Bay. We were very lucky that the person behind the brand, Dorae, decided to use the #ECMeetup as her brand’s first public appearance and introduce us to her ever growing product range. It was quite the hit and even those with no use for “baby products” loved it, as it’s been decided that the baby wax is great for lips and the baby shampoo makes an awesome makeup remover. Today I am giving away my favourite product in the range. THE HEALING BALM
We have been using the healing balm as a family for the last couple of days and LOVE IT. Rob uses it as an after shaving balm, I use it on Aidan’s scrapes and scratches and have even used it on the extremely dry patches of skin between my eyes (I don’t know how this is a thing). It is a great all rounder like a petroleum jelly with actual healing properties. Fancy people Vaseline , hehehe
A little while ago I got to ask Charnelle Paulse – one of the most recognisable faces on the SA modeling scene – for some fashion advice. She is a “plus-sized” model and since the only thing I can buy in medium these days is a Big Mac McMeal, I hoped she could give me some advice on how to dress for my shape, but I ended up getting so much more.
