A Better Way to Sleep: Natural Mat Review
10:19 AM Posted by Erin
Every new parent wants to be sure their baby gets the highest quality sleep possible since its the time when their brains and vital organs develop (source SoundSleeping.org). Making sure baby is on the best sleep surface possible should be a top priority. This is where the Natural Mat comes in. Natural Mat is a company created by two sailors in England frustrated by the quality of synthetic mattresses found on boats. Deciding to look for and eventually develop their own line of natural mattresses led to the creation of the baby product line. Featuring three premier mattresses; the Coco Mat, Latex Mat, and luxurious Mohair Mat each offer parents the ability to find a bed baby can love. Since they're made from 100% organic materials and hypoallergenic, they're safe for your baby's dellicate skin. Natural fibers also provide higher levels of support and far better ventilation than any synthetic foam or coil springs.Natural Mat recently sent us their Cotton Sheet (RTV $45) to review and I was really impressed. The soft, unbleached and undyed cotton percale provided a neutral color that blends in well with any decor. Since my daughter is well past the crib stage, I asked my sister to try this on her newborn's bed. Now my sister is a real "Green" mama and is resistant to using anything for her baby that is chemically processed. The fact that the Natural Mat Cotton Sheet is undyed meant she didn't have to worry about any irritants harming her daughter's sensitive skin and the natural fibers kept Baby K cool and comfy. She reports baby girl got a very good nights rest on her cozy new cotton sheet.

I am most excited about the kids lip balm! My daughters always try to use mine, but I am always worried about sharing my junk, because they end up eating it!

Kiss My Face Kids Review *GIVEAWAY*
9:44 PM Posted by Erin


All natural is the way to go with kids products and especally when it comes to their skin and what comes close to it. If you've been letting kiddo use your soap and body washes, you may want to consider Kiss My Face Kids products instead. What makes Kiss My Face Kids so great for your child? Well, all their products are free of artificial colors, fragrances, parabens and SLS, and boast natural ingredients such as Organic Green Tea Extract to protect against sun damage, Nettle Extract to stimulate hair growth and improve the condition of the scalp and Tea Tree Oil to kill germs.

We recently received several products from their Orange U Smart line (also available in Berry Smart and Scentsless) and were more than impressed. First off, the yummy scent of orange wasn't cloying or overpowering. It simply smelled of fresh citrus and completely authentic. We loved the thick foamy action we received with the Self Foaming Shampoo and Body Wash and how it dispensed with just a squeeze of the bottle. The shampoo got my daughter's hair squeaky clean with this product, and it washed out super easy without buildup. Next up we tried their Whale of a Soap Duo and Bubble Wash. My daughter adored the fun shape of the Whale Soap and I liked that it didn't melt too fast in our soap dish. The Bubble Wash was awesome in our Boon Flo dispenser. The bubbles were big and lush and stuck around for quite a while. Again, the orange scent was fantastic. Delicious was the only way to describe my daughter after her bath. The last product we reviewed was Kiss My Face's Detangler Creme. This was actually more a spray than a creme and the product I was most excited to try since my daughter has massive, thick curly hair that gets frizzy and knots easily. However it was the only product we were less than thrilled with. I wasn't crazy about the sticky texture and how it left her curls kind of flat. Other than that, we thought all the Kiss My Face Kids Products were aces and we'll definitely be purchasing more when ours run out. Since all their products retail for under $10, we won't have to break the bank doing so either. Until then, we'll continue to have fun with our bath products and online at their interactive children's website Kids Safari, featuring the same adorable animal characters found on their packaging and activities to entertain.
