Pregnancy Massage – Giveaway
Pregnancy Massage Pregnancy brings about many changes to a woman’s body, not only physically but mentally and psychologically.
Pregnancy massage stimulates different glands in the body, which helps to stabilize hormone levels, and relieve nervous tension throughout the body.
Massage oils may help with possible stretching of the skin. Doctors agree that a relaxed mother will be more likely to have a happier and healthier pregnancy, and perhaps an easier delivery.
Massage assists with circulatory and with the lymphatic systems, thus keeping the blood flowing to both the mother and the baby, and reducing fatigue.
Massage can be beneficial in the following ways:
· Tranquil relaxation reduces pain and stress
· Relaxed mommy promotes foetal wellbeing
· Helps reduce feeling of nausea
· Minimises stretch marks by enhancing the pliability of the skin and underlying tissues.
· Combats fluid retention (oedema)
· Alleviates stress and strain on joints and muscles as a result of carrying the extra weight.
To win this awesome massage worth R220

Featured Product – Morning Chicness Bags
This product is one of those “why didn’t I think of that” products.
It was developed as a result of something most of us who have been pregnant have experienced – morning sickness.
This bag was designed for pregnant ladies to carry around for those sudden moments when you need a vomit bag!
It is called the Morning Chicness Bag and you can buy them in packs of 10, 20 and 50 but the bonus is they are pretty – they come in a variety of colours and themes – they make morning sickness chic.
And they can also be handy to keep in your car/bag for kids who suddenly need to vomit in the most inconvenient of places.

Featured Product – Mike Mozzie
Aromakids is a South African brand that make a variety of all natural products for babies.
The one product that we still use now even though my kids are no longer babies is Mike Mozzie. It is an all natural spray for mosquitoes so it is easy to apply and it really does keep the mozzies away. We use it a lot if we are going sitting outside.
It is also useful for spraying dogs to keep the flies away from them as well as spraying around kitchen windows to keep flies out.
It contains all natural products so can be used on babies. It does have a slight odour but nothing offensive or over-powering.
Mosquitos are a part of life in South Africa and a lot of products available contain chemicals that aren’t really desirable for small babies so this makes Mike Mozzie perfect.

Nursery – Etsy style
When I had my son I decorated his room in the obligatory Winnie-the-Pooh theme. While I love Winnie-the-Pooh and all the associated characters it really was far from original or even cute. It was lots of yellow.
When Kiara came along I went with a bug theme which was very cute – a lot cuter than Winnie-the-Pooh anyway :-p
Nursery decor has come a long way since then! While browsing Etsy for baby shower favours I found the cutest nursery themes. It actually made me want to have a baby just so I could decorate the nursery.
This whole range is awesome. These vinyl wall stickers are removable and come in the most amazing themes and colours.
Simple Shapes Vinyl Wall Stickers
Simple Shapes Vinyl Wall Stickers
These prints are so stunning also and you can keep them up as baby grows.
London Bridge Children
Gumball Grenades Nightfishing
For something a little more traditional and bright these stickers are also awesome.
Colorful Animals
Tiptoe Studios Fabric
I wish I had found these mobiles for Kiara. She would have loved them.
Pink Perch Mobile
These personalised door signs are also really lovely!
Little Monkey Doodles Door Signs
Etsy is full of stunning ideas and products. I decorated many many rooms while doing this post There are also more traditional ideas. Spend some time browsing and getting ideas to put together the perfect nursery.

Featured Product – Hot Toddy Lollies
My son was sick recently and a friend suggested I try Hot Toddy “kids sore throat lollies” which I did.
These lollies contain all natural ingredients including echinacea, zinc and vitamin C but the winner is that they are in sucker so it makes it easy to get kids to take them.
They also did help ease Cameron’s sore throat and I took a few when I wasn’t feeling so hot and the did definitely help me too
So if you child has a sore throat then I definitely recommend this product.
Please double check with your Dr or Pharmacist if your child is old enough to take them!
