Rest peacefully with Motorola Baby Monitors

I receive quite a few press releases, but I prefer not to publish info on products that I have not personally tried. But this morning I received another one with info that I think needs to be shared. Parents to be please take note. See my previous post on a baby ‘must have’ here.

When I fell pregnant with Cara I had a huge wish list/shopping list of products that I just had to have. How can you not have the perfect baby room with that expensive wooden cot (that we resold as new, by the way)? As a newbie to this whole parenting thing, it’s quite hard to distinguish between needs and wants. Talk to your parents and friends who have kids. It will help so much towards making that ‘needs’ list.

One thing that I have found to be invaluable is a baby monitor. Even though Cara is 3 already and just down the passage, we still use our monitor every day. I just sleep so much better knowing that I can hear her. Especially when she is sick. Cara had a problem with silent reflux a while ago and we would wake up at night hearing her gasping for air. That freaked us out and we are so grateful for that monitor. I have a feeling this one is on its way out, and I may just invest in another one if that is the case. I may sound overly protective or even paranoid, but that little girl is my everything and knowing that she is sleeping soundly ensures that I also get a good night’s rest. The one that we have is just an audio monitor and it has done a great job thus far. But if you can afford one, get a video monitor. My sister has one, and it’s awesome.

Here are a few options from Motorola which are available from selected leading mass retailers and baby stockists:

Wake up happy with Mio

Mama Mio has recently had a bit of a makeover AND they have released a new high intensity body care range called Mio. Mio’s main aim is Skin Fitness. ‘Fit skin is smooth, firm, strong and glowing.’

Mio – because Strong is the new Skinny

I was lucky enough to get to try one of the products from this new range.

‘Our super-stimulating shower gel gets your mind and body going, even if you skip the coffee!’

Mio’s Quick Start Exhilarating Shower Gel packs quite a punch! Whilst deeply cleansing your skin and leaving it soft and smooth, the V-Tonic™ kicks your butt and gets you going. V-Tonic™ is an uplifting blend of oils of spearmint leaf, citrus lemon peel, cypress leaf, menthol and lavender that will help improve circulation and energy levels. The gorgeous minty scent of the wash is very refreshing, but it’s the tingle on my skin that immediately wakes me up. The wash contains excellent ingredients that aid to brighten, hydrate and protect you skin. My skin is left feeling pampered, moisturised and I am wide awake and ready for the new day.

After trying this fabulous body wash, I am very keen to try more from Mio. First on my wish list is the Skin Tight Skin Tightening Serum which ‘smoothes, retexturises and tightens to whip slack skin back into shape. Works wonders on crepey, overstretched tummies, knees, bumpy backs of arms, thighs.’ Just what I need.

Mio Quick Start retails at R415 for a 200ml tube and is available at selected salons and spa’s. Have a look at Poise Brands’ website or their Facebook page to find a list of stockists and learn more about what Mama Mio and Mio have to offer.
