The post Get More Youthful Looking Skin With Serum7 Review + Giveaway appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>As we get older our skin doesn’t retain moisture like it used to. It is less plump and sadly this is when the wrinkles start to appear. It is a devastating time for most!
While I am not against aging, I would definitely love to fight the signs for as long as I can. Botox or surgery are nowhere on my radar thanks to my needle phobia, so instead I search for skincare that actually works.
Over the past 8 weeks I have been trialing a scientifically proven anti-aging skincare line, Serum7 by Boots Laboratories. I am always sceptical when trying new ‘phenomenon’ creams that claim to give miracle results so I go into each purchase expecting it not to work. Serum7 has done exactly what it claims to – younger looking skin in 28 days.
I have been using a combination of the Serum7 Protecting Day Cream, Serum7 Regenerating Night Cream, Serum7 Protecting Body Serum (I’ve been using this on my hands when I remember) and the Serum7 Fine Lines Eye Cream.
This was the first cream I used from the range. I applied it straight after my shower and I could immediately feel more moisture in my skin. You don’t need a lot as a little bit goes a long way. The cream is a little bit heavier than the day cream but night creams usually are. When I rinsed my face in the morning it felt softer and less dry around the chin area.
The more I used it, the softer my skin began to look and feel.
I don’t wear much make up, BB cream and blush is as good as it gets, maybe some lippy if I want to dress it up a little. Each day I use this under my BB cream and it has been light weight but still adding a refreshed appearance and feel to my skin. This is now my go to moisturiser!
I have never used eye cream before but I have recently began to notice some fine lines around my eyes so thought what the hey. It is a lot lighter than I expected eye cream to be but have since learnt that it is lighter because it is a softer, more delicate area of skin. Once the eye cream is soaked in it doesn’t feel as though you have anything on as it is so lightweight.
This ‘serum’ is more of a cream but there is no denying that it works! I have only used this about half the amount I have used the other products because I keep forgetting but when I do use it my hands are soft and moisturised for ages. My poor hands get neglected and are often dry and scaly but this body serum steps up and does exactly what needs to be done.
Overall I was quite impressed with the Serum7 range. It moisturisers, brightens and rejuvenates the skin without being heavy. You can wear it every day without feeling weighed down by it.
I love that all the creams soak in and doesn’t leave your skin oily or wet. It absorbs fairly quickly, the night cream takes a little longer but for the most part soaks in fast. I would definitely buy this product range again.
Excuse the weird angle, I cannot take a good selfie to save myself!

]]>The post Shaving VS Other Hair Removal Methods appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>Are you sick of having to shave your legs all the time? Does it seem like you always cut yourself when you do shave? Shaving is still a quick, simple and cheap method of getting rid of body hair. But there are other ways of removing hair; some of them even permanent.
We’re going to take a look at shaving and how it compares to hair removal creams, waxing and HPL hair removal. All of them have something to offer. We’re going to discuss their benefits so that you can make an informed choice.
HPL is a safe method of permanent hair removal at home. It’s an adaptation of IPL hair removal which has been in existence since the 1990s. HPL hair removal is particularly suited to the home environment. HPL devices use pulses of light which are attracted to the pigment in hairs, causing a burst of heat in the hair which burns the hair follicle and destroys growth cells. This stops any further hair growth in that follicle. As hair grows in cycles it’s necessary to have 8-12 treatments to kill off all hair growth.
Hair removal creams are a lot easier to use and sweeter smelling than they used to be. It’s relatively easy and cheap to remove body hair using this method. It also has the advantage of being pain free. Although hair may grow back finer as the cream dissolves the hair under the skin, this is not a permanent solution like HPL hair removal; hair does keep growing back.
Many women choose to wax areas such as their bikini line. Coarse, thick hair like that found at the bikini line is perfected for waxing. The fact that the hairs are pulled out at the root means that they tend to grow back in a less dense manner. It’s important to remember that hair should be at least a quarter of an inch long before you wax. You should also remember to try and avoid excessive heat or exercise for a day after you’ve waxed. This helps to prevent your skin becoming irritated.
We’ve taken a look at a lot of other hair removal options and now we’re back with shaving. Although it can seem like you have to shave all the time, there is no truth in the saying that hairs grow back faster and thicker each time you shave. That being said, shaving is not a permanent, or even very long lasting, form of hair removal. It is quick though and it’s cheap. You need to be careful you invest in a decent razor though, and that you don’t try and go too fast, or it can end up looking like you’re in a scene from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
There is nothing wrong with any of these forms of hair removal; choice is often down to preference. It’s important to remember though that of these methods only HPL hair removal products give you permanent results.

]]>The post Is It Safe To Clean When Pregnant? + GIVEAWAY appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>Are you pregnant? Constantly cleaning, scrubbing and tidying? Is it safe to clean when pregnant?
As every woman who has ever been pregnant knows, you have the urge to scrub, tidy and generally have everything spotless. This is most commonly known as nesting and unfortunately (or fortunately for others in the home) we all suffer from it.
I hate to tell you but most cleaning jobs are safe to do while pregnant. In moderation of course, so you don’t overdo it. There are some things that should be avoided (aka left to someone else) or kept in mind while on your cleaning spree. These include:
• Cleaning the oven – Due to majority of kitchens being a smaller, more enclosed areas; fumes from oven cleaners are cause for concern. Especially when pregnant. In addition to toxic fumes there is also the bending and crouching to consider. It is best to hand this chore over to someone else.
• Clean only in well ventilated areas. Most chemicals and domestic cleaning products are safe to use when pregnant however the fumes and smell may cause you to feel light headed and sick if the room is not ventilated enough. Open doors and windows to allow good air-flow!
• Use protection – I’m not talking to prevent pregnancy. I mean rubber gloves and a mask to protect yourself from touching and inhaling chemicals. You can never be too safe.
During the later stages of pregnancy, you will find it harder to get up and down to clean showers, bath tubs, etc. on a daily basis. I know all too well and as a result of me being 37 weeks pregnant and not being able to maintain the level of cleanliness I like in my bathrooms; I hired a cleaner for the first time in my life. My bathrooms have never shined so much, or maybe that was the euphoria I felt because I didn’t have to clean them and yet they were spotless!
I typically live by my 5 minutes a day rule for cleaning the bathroom << check it out! It will save you a lot of hard work but as I am now heavily pregnant, I just cannot keep it up. For more information on staying healthy and safe during pregnancy, click the link.
This is not my cleaner. I cleaned other parts of the house while my bathrooms were being scrubbed.
I never saw the value in a cleaner until that life changing day last week. My eyes have been opened. To be honest the bathrooms are my most hated household chores! I know I am not alone in this which is why I have a great opportunity for one of All Mum Said’s amazing readers.

]]>The post The Health Benefits Of Coffee appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>Some claim it’s a harmful vice, others say it’s an indulgence they can’t live without it – regardless of how you perceive coffee, there’s no doubt of its popularity. It also has a large number of health benefits. Check out the list below to discover how coffee can help you!
Anyone that’s ever consumed a cup of coffee knows it can instantly perk you up. This is because caffeine stimulates the neurons in the brain and increases mental efficiency. Once the mind is in gear, the body tends to follow. It’s no secret that many athletes drink coffee just prior to exercise to improve alertness, boost energy levels and improve overall performance.
Recent studies have shown that consuming three to five cups of coffee a day can reduce your likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s or dementia later in life. Drinking coffee has also been linked to increased cardiovascular health, and may lower the risk of liver disease. But don’t hook yourself up to an IV drip of the stuff just yet – too much of a good thing can be harmful. Drink in moderation as part of a balanced diet and don’t forget to exercise!
No, you haven’t stumbled upon a crazy, new-age health and well-being blog. Coffee is a wonderful natural exfoliant that leaves the skin supple and smooth. Incorporate coffee grounds into your daily skincare regimen – either through a homemade face mask or as a whole-body exfoliant. You could use a premium grade brand such as Di Bella Coffee and massage grounds into your skin in circular motions for best results.
It might surprise you to discover that there are already a number of shampoos on the market that use caffeine to stimulate hair growth and maintain volume and shine. You can also rub coffee grounds through wet hair prior to using shampoo for a clean and glossy feel. A word of caution: if you’ve got light hair, you might want to go easy on the morning “hairspresso”.
Many people assume that it’s the caffeine in coffee that makes you feel “on top of the world”, but it might actually be due to the large amounts of antioxidants contained within each serving. Fruit and vegetables are a great source of antioxidants (as well as tea), but studies suggest the human body responds most positively to the antioxidants found in coffee. So there you go – there’s no need to feel guilty about downing that cheeky espresso in the afternoon.
Coffee is one of the world’s most popular beverages. While the taste and aroma of this ancient drink have proven popular for centuries, it also has several health benefits that are well worth discovering.

]]>The post Banana Boat SPF 50+ Sunscreen appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>The warmer months are now upon us and with that means more time in the sun and higher UV alerts. We try to utilise the safer hours in the sun by going out and playing when the UV alert is lower, however this is not always possible. Kids will be kids and will take advantage of every minute they can.
I have always been fanatic about putting sunscreen on the kids, even as babies. However I always forget about protecting myself. It is just as important for parents to protect their skin as it is for their children. Last week I had a suspicious mole removed which is now serving as a very good reminder why it is so important to not only use protection from the sun but also to have regular mole checks.
Brands make it easy for parents these days to know which sunscreens are suitable for what children and which age groups. Oh and of course their parents. Banana Boat recently offered me some samples of their SPF 50+ sunscreen lotions, sprays and roll on options. There is something about the smell of them that has always made me want to get outside and enjoy the sunlight. Or maybe it is just the old Banana Boat ad that instantly starts playing in my head!
Just like clothing is made differently and hats come in different sizes; sunscreen also have their protection features. Each to suit a different kind of person.
This 400ml pump bottle is 4 hour water resistant and designed to be non-greasy. Made with the Australian sun in mind; your family can enjoy hours of protection in the sun with the Sport SPF 50+. Perfect for the whole family!
With the most advanced protection, this SPF 50+ spray bottle offers kids very high protection from the sun in a convenient sunscreen spray. It is 4 hour water resistant and as it is designed for kids; the non-greasy formula won’t run into their little eyes. The spray makes it so easy to apply to your child and is gentle on their delicate skin while remaining tough against the sun.
This option is exactly the same as the Kids spray above however in a convenient roll on bottle. This makes it easy to carry and even easier for the kids to apply themselves. All the same benefits but in a handy 75ml roll on bottle!
I love that this sunscreen spray is SPF 50+ whilst remaining mild and gentle with no added fragrance. This allows it to be suitable for the delicate skin of a baby. Featuring the same benefits as the kids spray option; 4 hour water resistant, won’t run into eyes and a very easy to use spray, this sunscreen has babies and their parents in mind.
It is no surprise that the Skin Cancer Foundation recommends the SPF 50+ Banana Boat products. They are reliable, trustworthy and convenient. For more information on the Banana Boat Kids and Baby range see here or if you would like to read more about the importance of protecting yourself from the sun.

]]>The post Stylish & Affordable – Tesoro Jewellery Review appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>I love nothing more than putting on a gorgeous new piece of jewellery. It gives me an added confidence that was somehow lacking before.
It doesn’t matter whether I have saved for my new items or they have been given to me by my husband; the joy in wearing my new found bling is the same. I feel feminine, chic and fashionable.
Last month I stumbled upon an opportunity to experience Tesoro Jewellery and I couldn’t say no. Tesoro and its unique collection was created in 1973 and its vision has been carried on through family. Inspiration has been sourced through new, upcoming designers that step outside the boundaries to create and design wearable art.
Tesoro have released a new Mio Primo collection that matches style and luxury into everyday wear. The range includes intricate details, geometric shapes and a sophisticated white diamond cut fabric. I was so excited to see these delicate pieces for myself and when they arrived, I was far from disappointed. They sparkled in the light and as I thread the earrings through my ear, I instantly felt glamorous but not overdressed for the office.
I received two pairs of 925 Silver earring from Tesoro. They are the same but in two different sizes. While I usually wear gold or white gold, I thought I would give their best-selling Tesoro silver earrings a go. Measuring 1.5cm length and 1.5cm width, these earrings exude elegance.
I completely understand why these are a best seller. They are well crafted and absolutely gorgeous, perfect for everyday wear. RRP $69.95 AUD. I have been complemented numerous times about how stunning these are by complete strangers, if that isn’t a compliment to their design, I don’t know what is!
The other pair, even though the same style, I would describe as irresistible for evening or events. They are twice the size of the other pair (measuring 3cm x 3cm) but this only highlights the contemporary linear lines and sophistication in their design. These are gorgeous and will have you shining with style and luxury. RRP $169.95 AUD.
On the Tesoro Jewellery website they have so many great items that it makes it hard to pick something or narrow it down to a few. As a result of their range being so affordable, it is the perfect option for spoiling yourself or a loved one.
Next on my purchase list is this pair of diamond shaped and rectangular cut-out patterned earring in either Rose or black coated silver. I love them!
What do you look for when you purchase jewellery? Is it style, affordability, craftsmanship or something else?

]]>The post Pregnancy & Baby – Gaia Products + Giveaway appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>Pregnancy and baby products are something you will need at one point or another (if you are having kids of course which I presume you are because you are reading this). Trying to find the ‘right’ products for you and your child can be a long and exhausting one because there are so many available that claim to be the best. The best for one family however may not be the best for yours. I have put together a review on some of pregnancy and baby products that Gaia Skin Naturals have to offer. Oh and there is a giveaway for one lucky fan as well so they can try the products for themselves. Yay!!
Gaia Skin + Body Belly Butter
I don’t know about you but when I am pregnant my belly, breasts and thighs itch from the skin stretching and it is not a pleasant feeling. Finding a cream or butter that helps minimise this is usually on the top of my purchase list. The Gaia Belly Butter is enriched with pure cocoa butter, certified organic Shea butter and rosehip oil which helps maintain the suppleness and elasticity of your changing skin. You simply massage the butter into your belly, breasts and thighs twice daily (or as needed) during pregnancy and as long as required after birth. Available in a 150ml tube for $17.95.
Gaia Skin + Body Nipple Balm
This nipple balm is new to the Gaia product range but it is one that all breastfeeding mothers should consider. This organic nipple balm moisturises, soothes and protects sore and cracked nipples which assist in keeping them in good condition for your baby to latch onto during breastfeeding. I love that the scent isn’t overpowering and as it is made from pure, edible organic oils, including sunflower and avocado, there is no need to rinse before feeding. You don’t need to use a lot of this product at once as a little goes a long way. Available in a 40ml tube for $12.95.
Gaia Pure Pregnancy Belly Oil
This belly oil is very similar to the belly butter, obviously in an oil form. It assists the skin in stretching and eases the dry itch thanks to the certified organic rosehip, jojoba and wheat germ oils. The Gaia belly oil is in a convenience spray bottle so you can spray directly onto the area and massage it in. Available in a 95ml spray bottle for $17.95.
Gaia Natural Baby Bamboo Baby Wipes
I must admit and say that I have used one particular brand of baby wipes since my eldest was a baby with the exception of a few here and there. I have stuck with the same brand because they have always been the best that I have tried, until now. I absolutely love these bamboo wipes. Why? Because they are strong and I am without a doubt positive my finger will never tear through one in the worst possible moment. That in itself is reason enough to try them. These 100% biodegradable bamboo baby wipes are lightly scented but thanks to their sensitive skin formula I am not concerned about rashes or skin flare ups. I am surprised that given how strong they are, these wipes are unbelievably soft.
The Gaia Bamboo Baby Wipes are available in 3 sizes: 20’s travel pack – $2.99, 80’s pack – $6.50 and the 240’s value pack – $14.95.
Gaia Natural Baby Skin Soothing Lotion
Keeping baby’s skin soft and moisturised is important for parents. This is one of the harder products to choose because we regularly use it on newborns, babies and toddlers. We fear their sensitive skin will not be able to tolerate some of these products so often act on the side of caution. Thankfully Gaia has a multipurpose soothing lotion designed for use on their faces, body and nappy area to sooth and protects skin while remaining pure, natural and organic. It has a light calming scent of lavender without being overpowering and the zinc, castor oil and beeswax ingredients provide a barrier, making this lotion last longer on skin. Available in 100ml tube for $9.99.
Gaia Natural Baby Conditioning Detangler
My daughter is just shy of two and her hair is rapidly growing which means upkeep and hair maintenance is now vital. Due to the length of her hair it is knotty every morning, brushing her hair was a task in itself however the struggle is now a distant memory. The Gaia hair detangler is amazing!! With just a few sprays of the leave in conditioner, the brush glides through her now silky smooth hair. Maintaining and tying up her hair is a breeze. Available in a 200ml spray for $9.99.
Prize Includes: 1x Gaia Skin + Body Belly Butter – 150ml (RRP $17.95), 1x Gaia Skin + Body Nipple Balm – 40ml (RRP $12.95), 1x Gaia Pure Pregnancy Belly Oil – 95ml (RRP $17.95), 1x Gaia Natural Baby Bamboo Baby Wipes – travel pack (RRP $2.99), 1x Gaia Natural Baby Bamboo Baby Wipes – value pack (RRP $14.95), 1x Gaia Natural Baby Skin Soothing Lotion – 100ml (RRP $9.99). Total Prize Pool $76.80.

]]>The post The Hairy Questions + 50% off sale appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>Growing up in a house full of girls my brother and step-dad were outnumbered. There was 4 of us and only two of them. This of course meant whether they liked it or not they had to endure conversations about boys, periods, shaving and bras. Just what every boy and man wants to talk about. Back then it didn’t really occur to me that girls don’t often talk to their fathers about this type of thing because my dad welcomed us to talk to him about anything. Well anything until the day we asked for a boy to be in our room, then the ball game changed.
I’m sure there are many dads out there who also have an open door policy when it comes to their daughters but there will always be the ones that are a little shyer and may feel uncomfortable talking about female issues or offering advice in these areas. While mothers obviously have more expertise with these subjects, it is nice for daughters to feel they can talk to their dads about this stuff too.
At some point in a girl’s life she is going to want to shave and of course the questions start. Is she old enough? Is shaving, waxing or hair removal cream better? How high up their legs should they go or should they stop just above/below the knee? Veet have created a ‘Hairy Questions Kit’ which has everything girls and even women could need to find out what option works best for them. The Hairy Questions Kit includes four great products that RRP $50 but can be purchased in the kit for only $25 with FREE delivery. That’s a bargain if ever I’ve heard one! You can purchase the Hairy Questions Kit here.
Veet have put together a short video where daughters ask their dads some of life’s ‘Hairy Questions’ and see if they can answer them. Some of the questions are about boys, fashion, how to get boys attention, PMS, etc. and their dads answers are well worth watching. (See video above)
Would your husband or father have answered them differently?

]]>The post NitWits All-In-One + GIVEAWAY appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>School has now returned and the kids are back in class. Yay for parents and their sanity! Unfortunately with school resuming it means that nits/head lice have now got a very large breeding buffet. Those pesky little critters make everyone itch at just the thought of them – I bet you just scratched your head didn’t you?!
Most families have methods they have tried and in their efforts to deter nits they have been unsuccessful. Some families are extremely lucky and have found the magic potion that works for them. If you are still in search of the solution that works for you and your kids then there is no harm in trying NitWits All-In-One. This headlice spray works in 20 minutes thanks to its fantastic fast action formula.
Head lice are common and can be very hard to get rid off. While I haven’t needed to use the All-In-One treatment yet, I have got it ready and waiting to kill the headlice and their eggs. The NitWits treatment claims that no combing* is required which sounds more than amazing to me because besides the itching that is the worst part. *The eggs will stay glued to hair unless combed out but the eggs are dead after this all-in-one treatment. The NitWits All-In-One has a very pleasant smell and is not overpowering at all. The spray works great and is very easy to use.
The only downside I have found is that the bottle is only 120ml which is quite small but has a $22.95 price tag on it, I’m sure you could find it cheaper than that somewhere on sale though. This formula is kind to kids but not nice to nits and being 100% Australian Owned is just the cherry on top of this great product.
Want more information on the NitWits range and stockists? Or want to connect with NitWits on Facebook?
Prize Includes: 2x NitWits All-In-One. Total Prize Pool $45.90.

]]>The post The Best Haircuts for Females with Thinning Hair appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>If your hair is thinning, a good haircut will be important to you. Although you may notice the thinning of your hair and be worried about exacerbating the issue, it’s still possible to get a great haircut and colour, and style your hair using heat. In doing anything at all to your hair, it is important that you are strategic and careful about chemical styling and processing.
As hair care experts know, the hair that protrudes from the head is dead. The part of the hair that is alive is beneath the scalp in the hair follicle. We colour and style the hair shaft, which is composed of keratin, and the outer layer of the hair shaft (the cuticle) is strong, resilient and smooth when your hair is healthy.
For more information about this, refer to a credible website such as www.transitionshair.com.au that is backed by knowledgeable hair loss professionals. It’s worth understanding that when hair is blow-dried in a particular way and selected styling products are used, the layers of the cuticle are not smooth, but fluffed up, and you hair appears fuller. This is important to females with thinning hair and it is heartening for them to know that concealing bald spots, thinning hair and receding hairlines is entirely possible.
Hair which is thinning all over or has skimpy parts at the back of the head or crown can be disguised by a blunt-cut, chin-length bob. If your hairline is thin, a fringe which is swept to the side can hide this. An added benefit of this haircut is that it requires little maintenance, is versatile and can be blow-dried and styled to appear more full. The short, classic bob is/was favoured by women such as: Anna Wintour and Jackie O.
To create a fuller look, layers of irregular lengths can be added to a classic bob; this gives a shaggy and quite tousled look and delivers the effect of more hair and texture. This style is great for women whose hair is thinning at the crown or the back of the head. Helen Mirren and Meg Ryan are renowned for sporting the short, choppy bob.
Women with thin hair are best advised to avoid very long hair, and a mid-length cut that grazes the shoulders is about as long as it is recommended that a woman with thinning hair goes. However, a mid-length cut creates the impression of longer hair and looks great when angled, long layers are cut around the face. It’s important that weight is removed from the ends so that the hair has some movement. This cut is synonymous with stylish women including Susan Sarandon and Suzanne Somers.
This cut looks edgy but also sophisticated and quite sexy. If your hair is thinning at the hairline, this cut may suit you well – especially if you have a strong, defined jaw-line and a good neck. Shirley MacLaine, Annette Bening and Judy Dench wear the short, layered crop with a fringe very well.
If your hair is thinning, make sure you get a great haircut that can help to disguise your thinning hair. When you have a great cut, use a great blow-drying technique and styling products of the right texture to build the fullness of your hair.
