3 things I wish I’d done differently with my third baby

Welcome back, my friend! Today’s share is all about the 3 things I wish I’d done differently with my third baby. There are plenty of things I’m glad I did with my babies, but equally there are lots of things I wish I’d done differently, especially with my third baby – Lydia – who seemed more delicate a baby than my first two. Hindsight is a beautiful thing, and we learn by making mistakes. All babies are different, and with each baby we learn something new. It’s how we grow as parents! So without further ado, here are the 3 things I wish I’d done differently with my third baby. 3 things I wish I’d done differently with my third baby 1. Used scratch mitts from the start I’ve never really liked the idea of stopping my baby from exploring with her hands. This view is shared by parenting experts.…

How to protect your baby’s skin in winter

Welcome back my friend! The UK is currently experiencing a cold snap, with bitter freezing fog, snow flurries and sub zero temperatures making most of us feel like heading under our duvets! It goes without saying that you’ll be wondering how to protect your baby’s skin in winter. We all know our baby’s skin needs protection in winter, but what makes baby skin so sensitive? Well, baby skin is actually more permeable and prone to dryness than adult skin – so it needs more protection. Did you know that baby skin loses water faster than adult skin, too? Unfortunately for our little ones, their skin is more susceptible to damage from the environment, which can cause wider problems. A breakdown of the outermost layer of the skin can cause atopic dermatitis, leading to allergies. With all this in mind, your baby definitely needs her beautiful skin protecting this winter! And…

Zoe Bee Charcoal & Oat Moisturiser for baby eczema

Welcome back, my lovely! Today I’m delighted to share a cream that’s improving and soothing Lydia’s eczema. It’s the fabulous Zoe Bee Charcoal & Oat Moisturiser! Does your baby suffer with eczema? This condition is estimated to affect up to 20% of infants worldwide. I know I’m not alone in finding my baby’s eczema really distressing. Lydia’s eczema It started when Lydia was about 8 weeks old. When red patches first appeared on her face and thighs, I wasn’t worried. My other children had something similar at her age and it cleared on its own. However, Lydia’s eczema didn’t go away. It got worse, and nothing I did helped. In hindsight, my other children probably had cradle cap, not eczema. We live and learn! It was so sad to see her scratch herself in her sleep, and the itch-scratch cycle left her skin so much worse. Always keeping her nails…

Typology hair care – hair oils and scalp serums

Welcome back, beauty lover! Today’s post is all about Typology hair care! If you’ve known me for a while, you know about my love for Typology. In September last year they launched new Typology hair oil and scalp serum products. But wait! Last year, you say? Aren’t bloggers supposed to share the latest products? Well of course, however I had a baby in October last year, so I wanted to wait a little longer to test these hair care products from Typology thoroughly – since I thought they’d be especially helpful in the postpartum period. My scalp is also super fussy in winter, so I thought I’d really be able to put these products through their paces in the winter months – which I have! There are two hair oils – one for fine hair, and one for medium to thick or textured hair. And there are three serums -…

And by the way, if you’re interested in learning about winter skincare for your family or how to protect your baby’s skin in winter, do take a look at my winter skin care guides.

Poppy’s Natural Skincare for dry skin

Welcome back, skincare friend! Today the focus is on a very lovely brand I’ve known about for a while but only recently had the pleasure of trying – it’s Poppy’s Natural Skincare! I was over the moon when Poppy introduced herself over on Instagram. We chatted about skincare and my skin, which was lovely. Poppy very kindly asked if I’d like to try her award winning natural skincare. Of course, I jumped at the chance. And when it came to Poppy’s attention that I have psoriasis on my scalp (currently under control), elbows (a little sore) and eczema on my hands (water filled blisters, itchiness, redness, soreness), she was eager to talk with me on the phone about my skin conditions. Of course it was lovely to chat with Poppy on the phone and our conversation went beyond skincare into family, work and more. It was interesting to learn how…

Beauty Cleanse Skincare Anti-Pollution Deep Cleansing Oil review

Welcome back, skincare lover! Today I’m excited to introduce the latest product in Beauty Cleanse Skincare’s collection. It’s the wonderful Beauty Cleanse Skincare Anti-Pollution Deep Cleansing Oil! As an ambassador for Beauty Cleanse Skincare, I was delighted to be one of the first to try this cleansing oil. I’ve had a week to try it and it’s fast becoming one of my favourite oil cleansers. I know you will love it too, because along with being incredibly effective, it’s also inclusive. Wonderfully suited to all skin types, gender-neutral, vegan, and cruelty-free.
