Tellurian Baby: Pure & Gentle Baby Care

Trendy Mama — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 01:50:40 +0000

As a mom, I am always looking for safe and gentle products to use on my kids. When I received the full line of Tellurian Baby, I was very excited to try them out. Both of my kids have really sensitive skin, my 6 year old daughter's skin is very dry and my 23 month old son's skin gets easily irritated with just about any products that touches his skin. Sometimes it takes us some time to figure out what caused red patches. Tellurian Baby has created products that are not only pure, safe and effective but also enjoyable for both mom and little ones. Tellurian has redefined the concept of “natural”. In their quest to find the most effective and scientifically advanced ingredients and their research into the most effective natural ingredients for the skin what they discovered is "that the most credible natural and beneficial ingredients are those naturally present in the skin". "We went to great lengths to identify, replicate and create formulations that incorporate and restore these ingredients to the skin. These are the very same ingredients that are responsible for the health, proper functioning and overall condition and appearance of the skin. Because of their exceptional compatibility they are readily utilized by the skin for maximum benefit with minimal chance of irritation." Because their products are hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested and free of; Phthalates, Parabens, Formaldehyde, Propylene Glycol, 1,4 Dioxane and Mineral Oil, you can rest assured that even the most sensitive skin will not get a reaction when using Tellurian Baby. All Tellurian Baby products are manufactured in our “state of the art” FDA licensed and Certified Organic manufacturing facility. My favorite products are the 2-N-1 Shampoo & Body Wash (I love the smell while I'm giving my son a bath and the smell on his skin after), the Baby Oil (I must confess, I'm the one using the baby oil!) and the Tellurian Baby Diaper Cream... The diaper cream is truly effective!

Tellurian Baby 2-N-1 Shampoo & Body Wash: Ultra mild, pure and natural to thoroughly cleanse without stripping or drying baby’s delicate skin and hair. Exceptionally gentle and tearless for top to bottom cleansing.
Tellurian Baby Oils: Light, natural and versatile... Specially formulated to mimic and replenish the oils/lipids naturally present in the skin. - I must confess, I am the one using the baby oil.
Tellurian Baby Body Wash: Only the finest naturally derived cleansing ingredients have been used to create this exceptionally pure and gentle Body Wash.
Tellurian Baby Shampoo: Formulated with only the finest and most gentle cleansing ingredients.
Tellurian Baby Lotion: Contains elements of the skins own Natural Moisturizing Factors which work within the skin to attract and bind moisture.
Tellurian Baby Diaper Cream: The finest natural protection for Baby’s delicate bottom. This ultra-rich cream contains Zinc Oxide and the highest level of protective emollients.

Moving Made Easier with CableMover.com {Review & Giveaway} CLOSED

Trendy Mama — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:28:59 +0000

In the past ten years we have moved a total of 6 times sometimes locally and a few times to different parts of the country due to my husband’s work. With each move we have gotten better organized. However, no matter how prepared we are there is always a lot of work. A lot of time is used in just trying to change services from one area to the next. It is great that there are services like Cablemover.com that make the transition easier. People are always moving and when they do they have over 60 tasks to do in order to prepare for the move. Important decisions can slip through the cracks and required tasks to make for a smooth transition can be forgotten. Recommended by HGTV’s Lisa Laporta and tech guru David Gregg. Cablemover.com helps you easily incorporate technology into new homes. You can connect your cable TV, phone and internet in one stop at Cablemover.com. Cablemover is a one-stop for other moving needs such as obtaining a moving quote, changing your mailing address, and more to help you with the process of moving.

Start Your Baby’s Oral Hygiene with Tooth Tissues

Trendy Mama — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 02:57:34 +0000

Invented by two dentists for their own kids, Tooth Tissues cleans your baby or toddler’s teeth and gums to remove plaque and prevent decay. Although Tooth Tissues are recommended to clean a baby’s mouth until their back molars arrive (at that point a toothbrush is recommended), I use them to clean my 22 month old son’s teeth between brushings and after drinking milk or juice. The ADA suggests to wipe your baby’s gums with a wet washcloth or a clean gauze pad after each feeding, Tooth Tissues can help you! These disposable dental wipes made with xilitol (a tooth-friendly, non-fermentable sugar alcohol that helps with caries prevention) are perfect to carry around in your diaper bag or purse so you can keep your little one’s teeth on-the-go. One resealable pouch contains 30 wipes and retails for about $6.99; you can order them online at www.toothtissues.com. Tooth Tissues are disposable textured dental wipes specially designed to help remove plaque from your baby and toddler’s teeth and gums. Tooth Tissues are perfect for busy new parents eager to get their child off to a healthy start. Formulated with xylitol – a natural cavity fighter, use Tooth Tissues with confidence because they are all natural, fluoride-free and paraben-free. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOPP9pgiIu0

Rizzoli & Isles: Female Empowerment

Trendy Mama — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 15:40:01 +0000

Last week I discussed how two completely different people can overcome their differences and have a true and supportive friendship, which describes 100% the relationship between the main characters from Rizzoli & Isles, a TNT television series starring Angie Harmon as police detective Jane Rizzoli and Sasha Alexander as medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles. Since I am a huge fan of shows that place women in strong roles and powerful positions, you can imagine how much I enjoy this show. The characters from Rizzoli & Isles represent what women can accomplish when they put their minds to something. Watching TV shows that show women like Rizzoli & Isles, makes so much more proud to be a woman. These spirited female characters inspire women to stay true to ourselves and to be passionate about what we do. As explained by executive producer Janet Tamaro, Rizzoli & Isles are two smart, strong, competent women. Exactly what I want for my daughter! See the reason why Rizzoli & Isles won Best Drama at the 2010 Women's Image Network Awards. The first season is now available on DVD: http://bit.ly/mt2Hpo

$10,000 Scholarship for your Little One from Parent’s Choice

Guest — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 23:01:40 +0000

This post brought to you by PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have always thought that a brand name doesn’t usually define a better product, anybody with a baby knows the expenses that come with the new bundle of joy and this is why store brands are a great option for most families, especially when it comes to baby formula. As a mom, I worry not only about caring for my children today but also saving for tomorrow; I hope that they will go to college and have a bright future. With college tuition becoming one of the fastest rising expenses, many children might not be able to attend higher education but thanks to Wal-Mart's Parent's Choice Infant Formula, one lucky child will get a $10,000 college scholarship in the form of a College Savings 529 Plan.

Wal-Mart's Parent's Choice Infant Formula has been providing infants with outstanding nutrition at affordable prices for over 13 years, now Parent's Choice is helping one child's education by bringing the Parent's Choice Infant Formula Savings Sweepstakes. This sweepstakes was created in partnership with PBM Products, LLC, a Perrigo Company.

The Parent’s Choice Infant Formula Sweepstakes was launched on June 15th, and will run through 11:59 p.m. on August 1, 2011. To enter, go to to www.parentschoicesweepstakes.listrak.com and fill out a short and simple entry form.

More information, rules and an entry form is available at http://parentschoicesweepstakes.listrak.com/

Parent’s Choice Infant formula is Walmart’s private brand formula and is available exclusively at Walmart locations nationwide and online at www.walmart.com.
