Things we love this month
Posted on
We often do reviews on the Lilypad of great products that we are sent to try but sometimes there are products that we buy, are given or have always used, that deserve a mention or credit for being generally fab! So we have decided to start a things we love series and this is what we love this month ....
Aqua Maris Junior Nasal Spray
We have had this sitting in the cupboard for months and thankfully have had no reason to use it but with the change in temperatures lately and being back at school, it came as no surprise to find that the cold bug would be back too! I loved the nasal spray for babies so I knew I would love the junior version, the only problem this time is having a "junior" child wrestle with you to try and stop it going up her nose. The whole family ended up doing it to prove that it didn't hurt and it became quite hilarious to watch. So this gets a big thumbs up from the whole Lilypad family for clearing your nose and making us all laugh too! ( and at £4.50, it has got to be cheaper than a constant use of tissues!)
Johnsons Foaming Baby Shampoo
Everyone has their preferences as far as shampoo's are concerned and Johnsons is the name that resonates with most parents, so we were quite excited to try their new foaming shampoo. Bath time is a big deal in our house, it is the part of the day where everyone seems to end up in the smallest room in the house, getting soaking wet, drinking imaginary cups of tea (with added bubbles) and having our hair done in the bathroom salon! The good news is that it has the exclusive JOHNSON’S® Baby NO MORE TEARS® stamp of approval, which means its gentle and mild for delicate eyes and won’t cause stinging and tears. The girls thought the foaming shampoo was brilliant, even more so that they could use the pump themselves, the bad news is that it didn't last all that long because they kept pumping it.
Munchkin Bentos Box
Back to School means back to packed lunches (which I dread) but was quite excited to receive the Munchkin Bento Box to review. Inspired by the Japanese ‘Bento’, create a lunch box full of variety for your little one with the Click Lock™ Bento Mealtime Set from Munchkin. At £7.50 it is not cheap but it keeps food separate and fresh so sandwiches, fruit, yoghurts and other items can all be stored neatly and compactly in one place. Unfortunately as we have a growing girl, the lunch box seems more suited to younger children as the compartments are relatively small ( although this will be great for the little one going to nursery). My daughter generally likes plain and simple lunches (she is a creature of habit) but we have seen some great bento lunch box ideas here.
Weleda Wild Rose Day Cream
I recently bought some of the Weleda face products. Over the years I have tried all sorts of different skincare products from high end to high street but after receiving a sample of the Weleda face cream, I knew I needed to buy some. The sales blurb told me that that counteracts fine lines, dryness and dull skin (which is a bonus for me) but it made my skin feel amazing and is fabulous under makeup, so is perfect for busy mums like me!

Autumn ...... you can't buy it but you can feel it all around us. Autumn makes me think of warm cozy nights in front of the fire, of gorgeous colours everywhere from leaves on the ground to woollen scarves. We may be saying goodbye to Summer but Autumn is pretty fabulous too!
