Best Cleanser For My Active Toddler: BabyFlo Soap-Free Bath

Our little boy is getting more playful as the day goes by. Since our “porch” was made into reality, we have been spending hours on this area of our house:

Though I envisioned it to be pinterest worthy porch, it turned out even better. It became our tambayan and Baby Marius playground. Sometimes he’s inside the playhouse pretending to be a store owner. He gets all the stones he can from our mini garden and “sells” it as burger or doughnuts. He used his bike to transport all his goodies. And you can tell that his produce are all natural because he use his bare hands to get it haha. Most of the times, he’s with his ate playing (rolling) at the slide. He gets dirty really fast! And because of that, we need to bath him more than 2x a day na.

And he loves taking a bath, obvious naman di ba? Ako lang may ayaw. Feeling ko lang, too much taking a bath or exposure to cleanser is not good for baby’s skin.

A recent cleanser discovery, put my mind at ease. It’s a mild and gentle cleanser for all skin types, specially for sensitive skin. It’s not that Marius have sensitive skin but since he needs to take a bath more frequent, his skin needs all the love it can get from a cleanser.

What we have been using lately? Babyflo Soap-Free Bath

Initial reaction upon first use: Ay walang bula hahaha. Can it really do its job as a cleanser? Ay walang amoy! Bakit ganun haha

Bakit walang bula? Because it is soap free. Bakit walang amoy? It has no fragrance because all the possible components that could irritate baby’s skin delicate and sensitive skin is removed. All left are the ingredients that is safe for babies and effectively cleans the baby.

So how can I say that it is doing its job as a cleanser? It’s a clear sign that Marius skin is smooth and is not prone to itch. Parang sa face yan, when a cleanser is not doing its job, mas prone sa kati or pimples.

That’s a common misconception no? Presence of bubbles means better cleaning? Not all because for Soap-free cleaners, no bubbles, no fragrance, no problem.

So kahit 3x a day maligo si Marius, no problem sa skin dryness with Babyflo Soap-Free Bath because it’s gentle and won’t strip off the natural moisture of his skin.

What I like about Babyflo Soap-Free Bath:

Marius can use it as much as he wants because it’s a mild cleanser and won’t irritate his skin
It is fragrant free (the daddy does not like fragrant cleansers)
It comes in a 500 ml pump and refill. I prefer using cleanser in a pump because I can use just one hand to get the product, while my other hand is trying to prevent Marius from taking a bath by himself hahaha
It’s relatively cheap but the packaging looks expensive. I love the contrast of white and blue and even the prints on the product. The 200 ml Babyflo Soap-Free Bath along with Babyflo Shampoo is I think one of the perfect gift that you can give as a baptismal gift.

Babyflo Soap Free Bath price range from Babyflo Facebook Page. Ang mura di ba? And comes in smaller bottles too. Oh di ba, hindi kailangan mahal ang pagmamahal.

Babyflo Soap-Free Bath

Babyflo Soap-Free Bath is available in Mercury Drug stores and supermarkets nationwide.

What I don’t like: It’s not top to toe wash, but we can always use Babyflo shampoo so it’s not an issue.

Bath time is really one of his favorite activity and since I no longer worry about skin dryness with Babyflo Soap-Free Bath, we can now both enjoy this activity.

Babyflo’s campaign, “Let Love Flow with Babyflo,” supports and encourages bonding between parents and babies; love that flows in a rewarding cycle of bonding and discovery. Kumbaga, it’s a family affair, that’s why they have the Arellano family as Babyflo’s first family endorsers.

Best Gifts For Kids 3- 10 Years Old

Christmas is the best time of the year to be with our loved ones and enjoy together. Exchanging Christmas best gifts is one of the amazing things everyone enjoys. Sometimes giving the best gift for kids is a little bit tricky. Imagine if the kids get what they wished for, they will surely be happy and so do the parents too. For kids 3 to 10 years old, guessing what will please them is quite hard. You will either get a thank you kiss or a tantrum. Of course, parents will get upset too if they will receive the latter reaction. Well, you can’t blame that on the kid, rather, check what kind of gift will surely make them happy.

Best Gift For Kids Aged 3 to 10

Bike

Did you remember your joy when you received your first bike, or when you actually ride on it? Nothing beats the enthusiasm, right? You will never get wrong with a bike but make sure you buy one suitable for your child’s age. For 3-5 years old, look for those who have training wheels. For 6-8, find something that has 14-16 inches wheels. For older kids, they will love something bigger, a bike with around or over 18 inches wheels.

Book

If your kid is a bookworm, or if you want him/her to be one, then buy more books. You can even aid in wakening her spirit by giving a book. It is one of the best gifts in the world for all ages. Just make sure to buy which suits your kid, know what kind of genre he/she will enjoy. Books can let your child imagine the way he/she wants to and also enhance comprehension skills.

Play pretend toys

When we were young, we all loved pretending like adults- a teacher or a pilot. You can see a lot of play pretend toys in the market, from miniature to life-sized toys. If your place is small and you are on a budget, you can buy portable play pretend set where you can fold after playing. For spacious houses and have huge back or front yard, it is best to buy life-sized play pretend toys. A set of slide and playhouse is definitely one of the best gifts for kids.

Origami Brainteaser or Rubix Cube

If you have a kid who isn’t that active or a geek, an origami brainteaser or Rubix cube is perfect. These two toys are really brain twisting and at the same time, enhances brain development. You can also check other brain-enhancing toys as the best gifts for kids who love learning and intellectual challenges.

Building Blocks

Kids who love imagining and building things are fond of playing building blocks such as Lego and Mega Bloks. For kids 6 and under, it would be best to buy the Mega Bloks Classic. You can also consider the mid-sized blocks like Lego Duplo. For bigger kids, you can get the smaller version of building blocks.

There are many options for the best gifts for kids but these 5 are our top most favorites. Perhaps, having 5 kids who have different attitudes, likes, and style, it is easier now for us to know which will get the excitement out of them.

5 Perfect Christmas Gifts For Babies

Christmas is definitely one of the most wonderful time of the year. Perhaps some say because of it is the time where many received their bonuses and Christmas gifts. However, the true essence of the Holiday is the time spent with the family and how you will make them happy. Giving gifts is one of the best ways to express your love to your family, especially to kids and elderly. Whether a gift has a huge value or priceless, it is still the thoughts that count.

However, it isn’t that easy to think of what is the best gift you can give to your loved ones especially if you are clueless about what they will appreciate. This usually happens to babies, they may be not able to tell you what they really want but of course, there are unisex gift ideas that are perfect for them. Since Baby Marius is still the baby, we are planning to give him something he will surely love. If you are still undecided on what kind of gift babies under two will appreciate, here are what you need to know.

5 Perfect Christmas Gifts For Babies

Mega Bloks

If you want a baby genius, this toy is a must. It helps stimulate your child’s creativity and also helps in their cognitive development. This toy saves my kids from a lot of tantrums when they are young and it will be a nice gift for Marius too. Aside from that, this is the most durable toy ever! Like for real. The oldest Mega Bloks in our toy room is as old as my first born who is 14 years old.

Kiddie Bikes

He’s really fond of his siblings every time they go biking in our subdivision’s road. He used to ride on his ride on car and stroll along with his Ate. But, he is now eyeing for a real kiddie bike. He is growing so fast, last week he is trying to jump off the stairs.

Puzzle

A wooden puzzle is quite interesting, I find some from the mall. Since babies and toddler are messy most of the times they have water or milk spills, throwing up, and the like. Oh, almost forgot- tantrums like throwing things and reaping things apart. Don’t get a paper or board puzzle, go get a wooden puzzle and you will thank later.

Mini Ball Pit

The last time we go out, the kids have a blast at the ball pit and so do Marius enjoyed the mini ball pit and slide at the Playdium in FunRanch. So, this leads us to put a mini ball pit on the list, maybe a tent full of balls is a good idea.

Doodle Pad

Who doesn’t love doodling? Babies and toddlers really love doodling and exploring with their hands and a bunch of doodling pens and crayons. There are many doodle pads out on the market but what we like most is the doodle table from Hallmark Warehouse Sale. You will be able to save your wall from your toddler’s different strokes of colors and arts.

Do we have the same thinking? If you have something in mind, kindly recommend Christmas gifts for babies. As of now, these are making our list for Marius this coming Christmas. Can’t wait to hear his giggles and thank you kisses while opening his Christmas gifts under his favorite tree.
