Your child can get 5 a day with a little help from SOLAL

Cara is a picky eater. Add to that her food allergies and sensory sensitivity, and you can only imagine the struggle. Getting her to try new foods is a huge challenge which often ends in tears and a bribe… you gotta do what you gotta do.

Picky eater

Moms, I know I’m not alone!

Last night was a good one; Cara polished a bowl of chicken, couscous and pumpkin. They day before that she ate a whole banana. Victory!! Those are exceptions to rule I’m afraid. Most days my little girl lives on jam sarmies and Weetbix. And Ouma’s spaghetti bolognese.

I try my best… I hide bananas and carrots in bran muffins, I blend veggies beyond recognition and add them to pasta dishes, but it isn’t always that simple. Or easy. Some days I am just glad that my child goes to bed with a full tummy.

Ensuring that Cara eats 5 fruit and veg portions a day is near impossible, but thanks to SOLAL, I can now stress a little less. And thank you to the lovely Eleanor for the tip! She also has a picky eater and has some great tips on her blog Just Ella Bella.

SOLAL 24-in-1™ SuperFruit & Vegetable Drink

Your child can get 5 a day with a little help from SOLAL

The SOLAL 24-in-1™ SuperFruit & Vegetable Drink provides 18 fruit
and vegetables, 5 antioxidants and 500 million probiotics
for optimum nutrition.

This yummy (really!) fruit and vegetable concentrate contributes towards the recommended 5 fruit and vegetable portions you need per day for optimum health. And if you have a picky eater like me, it is worth it’s weight in gold.

It contains 5 SuperNutrient™ antioxidants (grape seed extract, lutein, lycopene, zeaxanthin and astaxanthin), 9 SuperFruit™ extracts (mangosteen, acai, goji berry, noni, cranberry, pomegranate, bilberry, citrus bioflavonoids and blueberry), 7 fruit and vegetable concentrates (blackcurrant, carrot, celery, red beets, spinach, lettuce and onion), 2 herbal extracts (parsley and rosemary) and it is packed with 500 million probiotics per serving. It is aslo free from colourants and contains no added sugar.

Sounds awesome, doesn’t it? I think it is. And Cara loves her new juice. Winning!

This stuff is not cheap. A bottle retails for R145. I know it sounds hectic, but I really think it’s worth it. Especially during cold and flu season. And one bottle gives you 30 servings. This stuff is super concentrated so don’t be shocked when you see the size of the bottle. 150ml really gives you at least 30 servings.

SOLAL 24-in-1 is available from leading pharmacies, health stores and online at www.solal.co.za  or through www.juniva.com.

Two thumbs up.

Rain Biologie Winter Therapy Bath Soak

Rain Africa Biologie Winter Therapy Bath Soak review Pretty Please Charlie

I am not really a fan of bath bombs and fizzes and the like. First of all, I don’t often get the chance to relax in a bath (as it is usually shared with my 4 year old) and most seem to irritate my skin. But, and this is a huge (in your face and twerking) BUT, the Rain Biologie Winter Therapy Bath Soak is absolute and utter bliss. The scent is amazing. The Eucalyptus and Camphor is very prominent, but gorgeous. On quite a few occasions I’ve opened the jar just to take a wiff. My first Winter Therapy bath was the most relaxing bath I’ve had in a very long time. If there is only one pamper product to get yourself this winter, it is most definitely Rain’s Winter Therapy soak. Well done Rain. Rain has got a great special running at the moment. I posted the details on Facebook this morning. R115.

REN Vita Mineral Lip Balm

REN Vita Mineral Lipbalm review Pretty Please Charlie

This beauty launched last month and has worked wonders at soothing my lips. It contains the goodness of Propolis, Vitamin E, Shea and Cocoa butter. It feels very light on the lips, yet still gives the nourishment I need. It’s a goodie. R150.

VIOlife’s Slim Sonic portable sonic toothbrush is the perfect travel companion. The super stylish Slim Sonic comes in an array of colours and prints (you can have a look HERE).
