The post Get clean with Euca + Giveaway appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>Living natural is becoming an increasingly popular way of life. This is the choice many make for a number of reasons; allergies, to be environmentally friendly or maybe it is so they give their bodies only the best. I started searching for more natural products when B2* was approximately 6 months old due to his eczema manifesting to more than just dry and itchy skin; his cheeks were raw red and painful. To this day I still don’t know what caused his flare ups but it has since subsided and now at age 5 very rarely makes an appearance. I know certain washing powders can cause trigger eczema which is why it is great that there are wonderfully clean products available like Euca. The range covers everything you could need while including no fillers or synthetic perfumes and as the name suggests contains Australian Eucalyptus Oil.
Euca
Euca Soaker
B1 and B2 have white school uniforms. White! Who does that for young kids? Regardless the job of keeping them white is left up to me and I have found that the Euca soaker works a treat. You can use it to soak in the tub/bucket over night to maximise the effectiveness or you can put it straight into your washing machine (front or top loader) and use the soak cycle. The boys shirts always come out clean and white.
Euca Laundry Powder
This is my favourite of the four products shown above. It is great for front and top loader machines; giving 100 washes for front loader and 50 top load washes. It is 100% soluble and is grey and septic safe! Another benefit this Euca powder has is it is perfect for both hot and cold water.
Euca Laundry Liquid
The laundry liquid is basically the same as the powder except that it is liquid. So if you prefer liquid than this is the one for you. Ideal for both top and front loaders with top getting 50 loads and front getting 65 loads per bottle.
Euca Fabric Conditioner
The Euca fabric conditioner makes ironing easy (not that I EVER EVER iron) but it does help to give the clothes less wrinkles. It is extra light and really doe make the clothes soft with a hint of Eucalyptus scent from the Australian eucalyptus oil. It can be used in the bucket or the machine and you will get up to 65 loads from the 2L bottle.
Overall I would recommend this if you are looking at going natural and still want a product that works. In addition to it being a great product it is also Australian made.
Prize contains: 2kg Euca Laundry Powder, 2lt Euca Liquid, 2kg Euca Soaker, 2kg Euca Fabric Conditioner. 2x PRIZE PACKS UP FOR GRABS – Each valued at $49.80 (total prize pool = $99.60)

]]>The post Para’Kito – A Buzz Free Summer + GIVEAWAY appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>Summer is a time for camping, beach, picnics and trips to the park with the family but often mosquitoes put a damper on the fun times. Unfortunately for me and my 5 year old we seem to have good blood that’s ripe for sucking; if there is a mozzie around chances are it is having a feast on one of us. This is quite unfortunate for Kye as not only does it make him itchy he is allergic to their bites, resulting in hives and swelling around the affected area, hardness of the skin and it always gets infected.
and
Para’Kito bands RRP $24.95
I received an email a few weeks ago asking if I wanted to give Para’Kito a test run which coincided perfectly for last minute outings to the creek, Australia Day BBQ and last bush walk before school resumed. For something that is 100% natural and eco-friendly I can see why it has been so popular worldwide; it works to offer 24 hour protection from mosquitoes and insects while having no direct contact with skin making it safe for allergy sufferers, pregnant women, children, babies and adults. The Para’Kito range includes a neoprene wristband and a clip which are refillable with a polymer pellet. The pellets are infused with a blend of seven essential oils: lavender, geranium, citronella, pine tree, patchouli, clove and peppermint which are convenient and easily slipped into your Para’Kito™ wristband or clip. The oils effectively make the wearer seem invisible to mosquitoes even when in contact with water. Each pellet also offers 15 consecutive days of protection which is great when camping for a few days or if you are going to a festival.
I have found the clip to be very handy when I go walking as I just clip it to the pram and not only am protected and no longer get attacked by insects but neither does my baby or my boys walking next to me. The clip would also be great for travelling as it can easily attach to your belt, back packs or even hung inside your tent when camping. Para’Kito™ bands and clips are priced at RRP $24.95 and come with two refill pellets, which provide 24 hour protection for a total of 30 days. Refill packs with two pellets are also available and priced at RRP $15.95.

]]>The post Botox or a natural alternative? + GIVEAWAY! appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>Most of us know of at least one woman who dabbles in the occasional or regular Botox, it could even be you. I love the results that Botox gives when done properly and not excessively; however on the other hand I do not like the idea of needles anywhere near my face. Actually I hate the idea of needles full stop! I am 26 and it has really only been in the last 12 months that I have taken skin products seriously and tried/tested to find what works best for me and what I want to get out of using particular products. I have recently been asked if I was interested in trying a very exciting product that promised results!
When the Cosima Flawless Eye Cream arrived at my door I couldn’t wait to try it. It claims to be a natural Botox alternative and it doesn’t lie. Within 5 minutes of using the cream for the first time I felt the skin around my eyes pull tighter and after a week it was firmer and more radiant. I have also been using it on my forehead to target those lines and like the bags/tired eyes that were previously found on my face they are no where to be seen. I really wish I would have taken a before photo so I could show you the comparison but I got a little caught up in trying the cream. The effects have been amazing on my skin; I look fresher, younger and not tired. I love that Cosima Flawless Eye Cream is luxurious and made with 100% natural certified organic ingredients because I am not using nasty products on my skin and still getting incredible results. I love finding alternatives to target the concerns for women (of all ages) like fine lines and wrinkles, loss of elasticity, firmness, dark circles and vein imperfections and this cream does it all. Being an Australian made and owned product that isn’t tested on animals it is a clear winner for me especially because it gives instant results. If you are considering Botox try this eye cream first!!
You also have the chance to win a bottle of Cosima Flawless Eye Cream 15ml. RRP $69.00 (as reviewed above) – LUCKY YOU!

]]>The post Bambooby Buddies + GIVEAWAY appeared first on All Mum Said.
]]>What is one of the most embarrassing things that could happen to a breastfeeding woman? Breast milk leaking is what! Any mum who breastfeeds her baby will tell you that good quality breast pads are an essential item and I am going to be honest here and say that I had only ever used disposable ones until a couple of weeks ago. I never even considered using reusable breast pads as I thought surely they couldn’t possibly do the same job; I was however wrong.
I began using some bamboo breast pads from Bambooby Buddies (Great name isn’t it?) and must say that I am in love with them. They are so soft on your skin and do actually absorb everything that they need to without leaking any excess through your clothing. It may sound like I am surprised and that is because I still am! I wasn’t game enough to leave to the house wearing them so I stayed home every time I wore them and still no leaks. Even with the night time breast pads, they are made slightly thicker to absorb more and I have experienced nothing but positive results. Amazing quality and a must try if you have even contemplated giving reusable breast pads a go. Not only are they potentially a money saver but they are also great for the environment!
Oh did I mention that I have a Bambooby Buddies Starter Pack to giveaway to one very lucky reader! The starter pack contains 3 pairs of day breast pads and 2 pairs of night time breast pads. These retail for $39.95 which is great value for money.
For your chance to win these products just follow the instructions below!

I have discovered the brilliant brand Seven Wonders maybe a year or so ago. I can thank my mum for introducing me to it. She got me hooked on the Seven Wonders Moroccan Treatment Spray. It is in one word – AMAZING! It instantly detangles my thick hair which saves me a lot of grief pulling the brush through each and every knot. It also protects it from the elements and basically I can’t rave enough about it.
For some reason I never thought to check out their other products and so when I was asked to review the Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner I couldn’t say yes fast enough. It hasn’t disappointed either, the salon grade products leave your hair feeling like you’ve just stepped out of the hairdressers even though you have done it yourself in your own home. What I love most about Seven Wonders is that it is natural hair care.
