Indie clothing, indie lifestyle and indie fashion

My son was very excited about buying new school bags in the past until the school has a designated school bag for the students.

As I looked back, I used to look forward to buying new schoolbags every year. My mom would take me to shops and I get to choose what I like. Sometimes when they get too expensive, mom will say ‘no’ and I’ll be disappointed. Kids these days are so privilege that they can to buy expensive and ergonomic school backpacks. In fact, there are trolley ones so that it won’t weigh down on the kids shoulders. This is absolute love and care from the parents, ensuring that their kids are not hurting their posture. Times have certainly changed and even parenting styles have evolved too!

This weekend, I’m invited to attend a baby shower which led me to some online shopping for handmade baby clothing and accessories. Since baby carriers have been popular among mobile and active moms, they do make great baby shower gifts. I believe a Bob stroller will be great for active moms who like to bring her newborn. Etsy remains a great online stop for handmade stuff and if organic cotton is your fancy, greenloop may be another great online store to grab some eco friendly baby gifts.

Nothing beats a pampering pregnancy gift for the expectant mum to be. While having a chat with my neighbour next door, I could see the joy on her face as she’s expecting her first child. It was nice to hear the excitement in her voice. Her loving hubby took her shopping for pregnancy clothing, baby stuff, pregnancy books, baby journals and baby essentials.

As a surprise for her, she was asked to pick one of the Festina watches as a love gift. I thought that was a sweet gesture.

A Mum to be Gift Set is a wonderful way to spoil the mum-to-be. The gift set above includes one white baby sock rosebud and includes a few chocolates for a little indulgence. Also included in the giftset are 2 essential lotions from Absolute Essentials:

Pregnancy Body Balm (100ml): A safe and pleasant smelling balm for mothers to be. Great to massage all over your body, especially when your back gets tired from carrying the additional weight. Leaves your skin soft & subtle while also protecting you from the appearance of stretchmarks. Safe to use daily.

Birth Time Calm: Not knowing what’s going to happen & how it’s going to turn out, the family-to-be needs all the support possible. Add 5 drops to a diffuser before &/or during birth, repeat as often as required. Creates a calm and focused atmosphere without causing sleepiness.

Do you suffer from vaginal irritation or are you allergic to over the shelf menstrual pads? Have you heard about Organic Cotton Cloth Menstrual/Postpartum Pads. Unlike all the disposable pads on the pharmacy shelves which contain dioxin and other bleaching residues, these Sckoon Organic Cotton Cloth Menstrual/Postpartum Pads are chemical free, naturally dyed and made of 100% certified Egyptian organic cotton.

So why choose Organic Cotton Cloth Menstrual/Postpartum Pads?

It is reported that many chemicals including dioxin are found in almost every brand of menstrual pads and tampons. Dioxin is a known carcinogen and has been linked to cervical cancer, breast cancer, endometriosis, and immune system suppression. In addition, the plastic and glue backing on disposable pads reduces air circulation and creates a stagnant environment in which some bacteria thrive. This can cause vaginal irritation and yeast infection.

Do you know that pesticides contained in disposable pads and tampons have been linked to birth defects, infertility, breast cancer, sterility, and respiratory problems?

Being an active and mobile mom, I couldn’t go anywhere without my Baby Bjorn Carrier. I had a baby sling given to me as a gift but somehow, I just didn’t quite get a hang on it. But if I ever have a no.2, the Moby Wrap wrap will be one baby carrier I will try.
