Win Green Cross Kiddie Summer Shoes

 

Green Cross

Green Cross Competition

It is vitally important to ensure that your kiddies wear the proper shoes from a young age, something that supports their growing feet and one brand that I have trusted for years is Green Cross. The Green Cross children’s range consists of casual shoes, as well as a wide range of school shoes.

As your child grows you should have their foot size checked every three or four months. Once they reach the age of three, their feet should grow less rapidly and only require shoe fit-checks every four to six months. It is also important not to pass shoes on to other children, as each child has uniquely shaped feet.

Green Cross has collaborated with orthopaedic experts for over 36 years to develop the perfect anatomical shoes that help support and conform to the shape of the foot. It also allows the freedom for bones and joints to develop naturally. The shoes are designed to be comfortable, flexible and long-lasting. ~ Green Cross

Green Cross is passionate about providing great footwear, especially for supporting little developing feet. With this in mind we like to  offer 10 lucky readers the opportunity to win a pair of Green Cross shoes, as seen above, for their kiddies growing feet.

Beautiful Earth Barrier Cream Review

Recently we were asked to review the Beautiful Earth Barrier Cream. Beautiful Earth is an amazing range of 100% natural personal care products, sold to both the individual consumers and the hospitality industry. This brand is no stranger to Super Mom Blog, as we have done reviews of their products before, which you can see here.

The BE Barrier Cream contains Calendula and Benzoin essential oils, which act as a natural barrier to protect delicate skin against wetness.  Also very effective for treating nappy rash. Apply a thin layer on baby’s bottom before putting on a nappy. ~ BE

Below is the feedback we received about the Barrier Cream, from Lyndsay, who is a mom to four boys:

Her initial thought, was that the cream was quite thin in consistency. “As a ‘Barrier Cream’ I was expecting something quite a bit thicker, much like other products on the market. It goes on really well and sinks in without leaving a greasy residue; you could even use it as an all over body cream.” When she applied it to her baby son’s bum, it was almost transparent so she was initially hesitant that it would act like a barrier cream, but she was pleasantly surprised. He had no adverse reaction to it (and her boys all have problematic, eczema prone skin) and his bum was smooth and clear.

The product does have a fairly strong smell – not unpleasant but something different to what you would normally associate with a baby product, again her son is very sensitive to most products, so she normally buys fragrance free products.

Thank you Lyndsay for your feedback!

I think that sometimes natural products are somewhat different to their more synthetically processed counterparts and do not necessarily smell or feel the same, but in essence if they do the same job and we are doing something for the environment in the process, we should at least give them try. ~ Super Mom Blog

Lief South Africa Anniversary Giveaway

Lief is a typically Dutch brand, established in the Netherlands in 2005. It was set up as a small collection of high quality baby clothing with texts like ‘lief! and stoer!’ {Respectively meaning, sweet and cool} printed on them.

The brand has developed into a lifestyle concept, including baby articles such as cuddly toys, bedding and books. From day one, the concept was a success. Based on Dutch designs, it has flourished into a wide-ranging lifestyle brand. Not only does it  include high quality clothing for babies and toddlers, but also stationary, personal care products, window decoration, bags, bed and bath textiles, paint, soft toys, furniture, wallpaper, wall decoration and playroom accessories.

Within only six years, lief lifestyle has realized over 170 points of sale, including 17 flagship stores all over Europe, and is developing markets in the Middle East.

In June 2012, lief decided to introduce their stunning products, to the South African market and launched their online webshop.

It has also been a lifelong ambition of Lief, founder, Yvonne Woudsta, to give back to society and be able to do something for those less fortunate, especially babies and children, in need. Thanks to the success of Lief, her dream has been realized. Lief supports Orange Babies, a charity organization whose main goal is to help HIV-infected (pregnant) women and their babies in Africa. Lief also supports the project Hope Village, in Namibia, this orphanage, provides refuge to children up to the age of 18. (Lief provides 100% of the financing for the baby and toddler department).

To celebrate the 1st year anniversary of lief in South Africa, two lucky readers can each win a lief  T-shirt – one for a girl in fuchsia pink – with lief! (sweet) written on it and one for a boy, in turquoise – with stoer! (cool) written on it.
