Enjoy your Summer with Mozzi Gear + GIVEAWAY

01/02/2015 By All Mum Said 97 Comments

Australian Summers are full of sun, barbecues and the great outdoors. Unfortunately mosquitoes also like to join the festivities and many of us (including me) are magnets for them. If there is one buzzing around it is more often than not having itself a delicious feast on my legs. Mozzi Gear have made our afternoon outdoor activities much more enjoyable.

We took a stash of Mozzi Gear products away camping with us to put to the test. The last time we went we forgot the aeroguard which ultiately led to me writing the Essential Camping Checklist so no one is ever left unprepared, including us.  This time around, we each wore a Mosquito Band. What is a mosquito band? It is one of the most popular Mozzi Gear products. It is a non-toxic silicone band that is a slow-release insect repellent containing citronella oil. I love this option of mozzie deterrent because it is so easy to use, simply pop it onto your wrist and your ready to go. It’s perfect for camping, fishing, bush walking and any other outdoor activities mosquito repellent may be necessary. You can wear it swimming because it is waterproof, effective for up to 48 hours and comes in 2 sizes – adults and kids. Each box contains 2 bands and comes in a range of 4 colours.

We also hung a Mozzi Gear Portable Ultrasonic Mosquito Repeller from our tent awning for extra protection. Claiming to offer up to a 3m coverage we thought we could give it a go and whether it was the ultrasonic repeller, the mosquito bands or a mix of both; we were not bitten once! The Ultrasonic Repeller is very simple to use, it’s compact and portable. It is non-toxic which is very important especially when children are around and has 3 time settings so you can set it to turn off after 4 hours, 6 hours or 12 hours. While we chose to hang it from the tent awning you can clip it onto clothing or anywhere you want as it, as it has a clip on the back for convenience.

We have also been introduced to Mosquito Click by Mozzi Gear. It is intriguing because it works on piezoelectricity  which means it doesn’t require batteries to work. This is not only for mosquito bites as it also works on ant bites, sand-flies, midges and even minor jelly fish stings. With 5 to 10 clicks to treat itching and 10 to 15 clicks to prevent swelling this handy sized clicker is great to keep on hand. Initially it shocks you as it sends a small electric shock however it is the sound of the click that makes you jump and not the current itself. It is safe to use on children over 6 months old and is chemical free. From just one of these clickers you will get approximately 5000 bite treatments.

You can find further information and Mozzi Gear stockists here.

NitWits All-In-One + GIVEAWAY

28/01/2015 By All Mum Said 31 Comments

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.

**As the winners are chosen based on skill and not chance; you will be sharing for 0 extra entries however I’d love you to share the giveaway with friends and family. Sharing is caring and karma loves kind people. **

Hunter Valley Gardens Mega Bugs

10/01/2015 By All Mum Said 2 Comments

Mega Bugs have invaded the Hunter Valley Gardens! You may have seen last week that we visited the Hunter Valley Gardens to view the Christmas Lights Spectacular and as usual we were not disappointed. If not you can read about it here. It hadn’t occurred to me until yesterday that we have never actually been there during the day to admire the wonderful gardens themselves. They are incredible. The reason we returned on Friday was to experience the Mega Bugs and as per usual the kids loved it!

The beauty of the Mega Bugs is that you can enjoy the elegance and hard work of the amazing gardens, features and fresh air while the kids look in awe and interact with the animatronic Mega Bugs located throughout the gardens. When visiting the Christmas lights you don’t realise how much beauty you are missing out on; this is of course replaced by incredible displays of lights though.

Throughout the gardens you will find a wide range of Mega Bugs that move and replicate their real life movements and sounds. Included are:

Ladybug – The ladybugs wings move up and down.

Spider – This Mega Spider has adopted the name Spider-saurus because it is so huge!

Blue Poison Arrow Frog – Just between you and me, I am petrified of frogs.

Praying mantis – This is absolutely huge! So large in fact it was difficult getting it all in the picture.


Wasp – I cannot explain how much detail is involved in this Mega Bug. Absolutely amazing!

Snail – This was one of my favourites!


Cricket – I got B1 & B2 to stand next to the cricket so everyone could see how big these bugs are. The cricket was one of the smallest there.


Bee on Flower – This bee buzzes about its business on a flower.


Unfortunately I couldn’t get photos of them all but there are heaps more to see. Including: Cicada on tree, Scorpion (this shoots water out of its stinger), Bee, Blue Winged Butterfly, Red Winged, Caterpillar, Dragon Fly Male, Dragon Fly Female, Bean Worm, Green Frog, Centipede, Ant Family, Spider.

The gardens and Mega Bugs were definitely worth seeing! It was such a fun day for the whole family and one the kids will remember for a long time to come.

If this is of interest to you and your family, you can purchase tickets on the Hunter Valley Gardens website OR WIN yourself 1 of 2 family passes over by clicking over here and entering the giveaway. You can experience both the Christmas Lights and Mega Bugs at once!! These family friendly events close on the 26th January.

Is there a bug lover in your house?

The Morning After with HeadsUp + Giveaway

09/12/2014 By All Mum Said 20 Comments

The joyous season is here and with all events that are jolly, the food and drinks come out and play a huge part in the festivities. Many drink (some way too much) and more often than not the morning after is riddled with hangovers. No one ever says ‘How great was that hangover this morning?’. NO. They don’t want a great memorable night ruined by the unrelenting hammer pounding misery of a headache the following morning.

Please don’t hate me but I have been very fortunate to have never experienced a hangover. No matter how much I have had to drink, I always wake up fine the following morning with the exception of a very dry mouth. My husband on the other hand doesn’t have to drink much at all and will rise (not voluntarily) with a cracker of hangover. He suffers the desert resembling dry mouth, buckling headache, feeling like pencils are stabbing into his eyes, along with so much more. I know he isn’t alone in his misery and that with all the Christmas parties and celebrations, there are going to be a lot of men and women struggling to get out of bed the morning after a night out.

I was recently asked to review a new product on the market, HeadsUp, that helps prevent the dreaded hangover however as I don’t get hangovers I thought I’d keep one for Mr C and share the remaining products with you wonderful fans and let you review them. You can score a prize pack below but first I want to share some more about this revolutionary product. HeadsUp is very simple to use. It’s as easy to taking a few tablets before going to bed after consuming alcohol.

By supporting the body’s natural elimination of toxins HeadsUp doesn’t just mask hangover symptoms, it defeats them before you wake up. Even if you are a sceptic and you think this 100% natural, Australian made product won’t work; surely it’s worth giving a go. You may even find you don’t wake up feeling like someone has hit you repeatedly with a piece of 2×4. I have been told that sums up a hangover and I don’t know about you but that doesn’t sound very appealing after enjoying a great night. You can purchase HeapsUp by BioRestore in single pack (contains 4x tablets) $9.95, six packs for $49.75 or for the pro partier there is 12 packs for $99.50.

**Please Drink Responsibly** 

 HeadsUp

This prize pack will have you sorted for the celebration season! I’d love it if winners could share their thoughts, reviews, expectations of the products with me to share on the blog when they have put it to the test.

3x PRIZES UP FOR GRABS

Each prize contains: 1x Stubby cooler, 1x bottle opener, 1x stressball (stress-brain), 3 packets of HeadsUp (12 tablets total). + 1 or 2 may also include a HeadsUp cap as an added bonus.

**As the winners are chosen based on skill and not chance; you will be sharing for 0 extra entries however I’d love you to share the giveaway with friends and family. Sharing is caring and karma loves kind people. **

ALL ABOUT HEIDI

Prize Contains: 1x Heidi Walks seamless shoe – RRP $45.00 (winners choice of colour & size)

These stunning little shoes are crafted from one piece of soft leather. Seamless shoes provide little feet with absolute comfort when they walk. The beautiful baby and toddler shoes from All About Heidi are simply genius as the flower design on the front not only looks delightful but it can also be adjusted by tightening or loosing the knot to suit your little ones foot as they grow. The velcro allows for easy use; when putting on and taking off. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of grip these have as the leather is incredibly soft. I was expecting Poppet to slip over on the tiles with them on however she has not fallen once while wearing them. They provide enough grip that she can run and play in them without hesitation. The hardest thing about these shoes is what colour to purchase as they are available in 10 different colours! These absolutely adorable shoes are available from All About Heidi.

JET EMPIRE

The White Magic Eco Cloth Coasters are great for cushioning glasses, absorbing heat and protecting furniture from water rings because it is super absorbent.

THE LITTLE BOOK OF HARMONY

Prize includes: 1x The Little Book of Harmony. Written by Kerry Spina – RRP $20.00.

I am very fond of this book. It encourages children to take notice of their choices and the effects it could have on others, both positive and negative. It shares with them in a way that is magical and fun, what truly matters and how they can start their journey to self discovery. I love that The Little Book of Harmony is not just focussing on negative behaviour, it promotes important messages such as forgiveness and gratitude. Kerry is a true genius and I really hope this book flies off the shelves because it is amazing. Encouraging children to love themselves, be creative, how to accept things and so much more by inviting them to think about and discuss their feelings and emotions while reading the book. You can purchase this truly wonderful book from Kids in Harmony.

PIN WORTHY PARTIES

Prize contains: 1x Pin the Nose on Bob the Reindeer – Printable copy

 You have seen it here first! A new rendition of an old classic, meet Pin the Nose on Bob the Reindeer. Bob will be part of a Christmas DIY Party Pack over at Pin Worthy Parties which will be available for sale soon.

There will be laughter when you completely miss his face and celebration when you win (just keep an eye out for those that peek). This digital product is fantastic because you can print it at home or if you want it on an A3 (which is the perfect size for this game) simply go to a photo print shop. To use it over and over again simply laminate the pieces.

**As the winners are chosen based on skill and not chance; you will be sharing for 0 extra entries however I’d love you to share the giveaway with friends and family. Sharing is caring and karma loves kind people. **
