Organic Baby Shopping

As I may have mentioned once or twice my sister is having her first baby soon and I am ridiculously excited about this. This is not just the first baby from one of my sisters; this is my first niece on my side of the family.

I thoroughly enjoyed shopping for my two boys however when buying for your own soon-to-arrive babies you find yourself enjoying it slightly less than buying for others as you get bogged down in the practical rather than the fun and the pretty. Buying for someone else’s baby, that is a whole new experience.

Another site I have discovered on my travels is Little Green Sheep and this site appeals to me not just because of the reasonably priced goods but also the wealth of healthy and organic items. When buying for Taylor (three in November – where does the time go?), I opted for more organic-type clothing, bedding etc and am glad I did as it turns out he has sensitive skin, very sensitive when he was a baby although better now and I had to be very careful what touched his skin, what I used to do washing etc.

This site seems to be the one-stop shop for all things organic and natural and I do wish I’d found it when my two were babies. These baby sheepskins for example are delightful and are on my list of “could buy for Lady D” (Lady D is the name my sister and her husband have given her little one so we have something to call her as they won’t give in and tell us the name yet!).

We are very lucky now to have such a great choice of websites and stores when it comes to buying for babies and children, I’m certainly having fun browsing them 🙂

Medicines2U (For Me!)

You may remember that not too long ago I wrote a post about Medicines2U and how they would be helpful when stocking up on seasonal must-haves for the kids (first aid, scrapes and sunburn for summer, cold and flu relief for winter etc). Since then I have had a closer look at the site and never mind the children, (I love them really!), I’ve found several things on the site that excite me, as sad as that sounds.

Some of you who follow me on social media, especially Twitter will have had to listen to my whinging about the loss of my favourite facial exfoliating cream. I love a really gritting exfoliator and since my favourite Aapri scrub cream disappeared from “major” pharmacies and stores and I have been bereft (and spent a fortune testing sub-standard replacements). I was thrilled to fine that Medicines2U stock this now – hooray!

They also stock my favourite slimming sweets (they don’t actually slim you down but are Slimming World friendly for me which is great when I have the odd sweet tooth moment but don’t want to blow my Syns!).

They have fabulous and affordable whizzy toothbrushes (My dentist has suggested one of these as I have a wisdom tooth that has moved and is sore and hard to clean around (they won’t take the darn thing out until I have another “major infection”??) so this is also a bonus too.

Braun Oral-B

 

When it comes to treating myself clearly I am easily pleased however with prices like these I don’t exactly feel that I’m splashing out or blowing a budget.

I haven’t yet tried out the online pharmacy service however am very tempted as both Roy and I have a regular prescription to pick up each month and we have creams for Taylor’s sensitive skin on prescription too. I’ll let you know how I get on with them!
