3 Reasons Why We Love Smart Steps (and why you should too!)

I got to experience Smart Steps courtesy of Parentin TV 2nd Anniversary. We were given a bag each full of Smart Steps product. And I tried it and we liked it.. we, meaning me and my sister. Since she is the one folding and arranging the kids clothes while I am the one doing the laundry. And because we liked it, I made a review and Smart Steps saw it and was really happy because just before our supply runs out (from the Parentin TV event) Smart Steps send us some more.. yay!

Smart Steps was also one of our sponsors from the recently concluded PMC 2nd grand EB and each mom received a loot from them whereas lucky moms got a box full of Smart Steps products:

The box includes Smart Steps Baby Laundry Detergent, Smart Steps Baby Bottle Cleanser, Smart Steps Baby Laundry Detergent (Liquid) and Smart Steps Baby Fabric Conditioner.

I love all their products and I use them all and really thankful that they agreed to be one of our sponsors (I’m sure moms would agree). And since I already made a review about Smart Steps, let me just tell you the 3 reasons why we love Smart Steps and why you should too:

It is mild and safe and has no artificial colorants.. mild on my baby’s clothes also mild on my hands.
It leaves a very fresh scent on the kids clothes even after hours of playing, their clothes still smells the same.
Smart Steps is very affordable. Aside from that, a pack can really last that long.. our usual consumption is a 900 grams pack for two weeks (that’s 5 kids) and that’s only 133 PhP. That’s a lot of savings for me.

Ascorbic Acid Ceelin For Sati (and the boys)

For a family with 4 kids and a plus one from my sister, kids getting sick is a no, no. Just imagine how it would be if one caught a flu, the others will have it too. For us, a sickness is always times 5 and because of that we give them all the things they need to boost their immune system. And when it comes to protecting the kids, we only trust Ceelin. We have been using it since 2003 (the time that I had my first boy). So I was really glad that we got Ceelin to be on of our sponsor during the Pinay Mommies Community 2nd Grand EB. Ceelin as so generous and gave each mom a 500ml bottle of Ceelin. Lucky moms also received a bag with 3 Ceelin 500ml bottles. Talk about protection for a life time.

Ceelin is a nutritional supplement that contains Vitamin C. And why does a kid needs Vitamin C?

Vitamin C helps the body’s natural defense against damaging free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable chemicals generated during normal body activities that require oxygen (e.g., respiration, digestion, blood circulation, immune system response, etc.) and after exposure to UV light, cigarette smoke and various pollutants.

Vitamin C forms part of the body’s natural immune system and stimulates the activity of specialized white blood cells which inhibit harmful bacteria and viruses. Vitamin C is also needed for the formation of the protein, collagen. Collagen is important in the formation of bones, teeth, cartilage, and skin and helps promote faster wound healing.

Ceelin syrup comes in 2 flavor, Orange flavor which is for kids ages 2-12 years old and Apple flavor, for kids 1-20 years. It also comes in tablet which is for kids 2-12 years old. Ceelin drops, best for babies below 2 years old comes in Orange flavor.

For a time we have been using the tablet for Chico and Sati since it really is hard to give syrup to them, unlike with my older boys who takes the syrup willingly. But after the EB we asked the two babies to try it again and I was surprised that they love the taste now.. I guess it helps that they are both love orange juice now and giving them Ceelin that i soranged flavor makes them think of their orange juice.

Ceelin is on Facebook too! Like Ceelin Facebook Page and get updates on what’s new with our favorite supplement for the kids.

Unilab’s Skin Cravings

I have been wanting to make a blog post about this collection.. I first got this as a gift from Unilab for helping them spread the word about Unilab Ideas Positive. It was love at first ~~sight~~ smell. I have been planning to buy the complete set.. bu you know with so many thing happened to us and the kids, it was put off my priority list. Then came Pinay Mommies Community 2nd Grand EB, and Unilab was one of our sponsors, aside from the loot bags that they gave for each mom, Unilab also provided 5 items that were raffled off. OK, you know I am not lucky when it comes to raffle.. but being one of the top mommy blogger in PMC, I had the privilege to receive and review one of the items from Unilab.

This is what included on our bag. Skin Cravings Smooth Over Body Lotion (Strawberry Cream and Choc’ Mint Kisses) and Skin Cravings Scrub Me Pretty (Cranberry Yoghurt, Dewberry Yoghurt and Strawberry Yoghurt).

Let’s start with the Smooth Over Body Lotion collection, Strawberry Cream and Choc’ Mint Kisses. The first one that I got to try is Strawberry Cream. Given the fact that there is already a lot of lotions out in the market, there is only 2 reason why I would buy Skin Carvings over other lotion. The first one is the fact that it leaves mys kin very smooth and does not make feel greasy afterwards. The second one is, it leaves a very good and very delicious, I may add, smell on my skin. It really is yummy and the name Skin Cravings is very apt for it. My husband even commented how yummy I smell hahaha (so that’s enough reason for me to say goodbye to all the lotion I know).

Skin Cravings Smooth Over Body Lotion, Choc’ Mint Kisses smells really nice. It’s really hard fighting the temptation not to taste it haha. They did captured the smell of chocolate and mint. I tried this once and loved it for a while but the smell wears off and leaves a not so good smell on my skin. I guess chocolates are better on my stomach for me than applied on the skin. For now, I am sticking with Strawberry Cream.

Skin Cravings Scurb Me Pretty comes in 3 “flavors”, Cranberry Yoghurt, Dewberry Yoghurt and Strawberry Yoghurt. As you can see on the photo, each yoghurt, contains small beads of each flavor, the strawberry has pink-red beads, the blueberry has blue beads while cranberry has red. It also has small abrasive materials that definitely exfoliates the skin.

Currently I am using Strawberry Yoghurt and uses it 2-3 times a week. I love how it leaves my skin smelling good and very smooth. I also notices a great difference after each scrub:
