Let's work together!

My friend Antonia is a paediatric intensive care nurse and mum to three great boys! She often came home with sore, cracked and bleeding hands from the constant hand washing at work. Knowing that this problem affects nearly all nurses, Antonia and her husband Jonny started working on a hand cream formula. They wanted the product to be effective, natural and something nurses could use repeatedly throughout a busy shift. They came up  with a great, natural and evidence-based skin care range called ‘Nursem’ which you can check out here.

If you (like me) have suffered with eczema you’ll know that itching your irritated skin is so tempting… but it can leave you prone to skin infections. The steroid creams often prescribed by doctors might offer some short term relief, but they can also lead to nasty side effects like skin thinning if you use them excessively. I was so happy when I read that Lauren Bell, who has suffered from chronic eczema since childhood, designed the Cosi Care line which is a product with a unique, quick-cooling technology that stops itching in its tracks. This is perfect for eczema sufferers - including both adults and kids. You can read more about Cosi Care here.

My baby loves his Blossom + Bear teething toys! I also love them because they are made from  natural, non-toxic and safe materials. I want to know that what I'm giving my son is good for him, whilst trying to minimise harm to the environment. Plus I love the fact that Sarah who set up Blossom + Bear did this in between her own baby napping...now she really is a 'super mum'!
