Disclosure: Affiliate links included. Now that I’m a new grandmom, I’m always on the lookout for something cute for my grandchild.  Having a baby is so expensive, and everywhere you look you’ll see tons of new baby products to buy. It’s totally unnecessary to purchase all the gadgets and fluff out there!  Just pick out the items that you know will be needed.  And, best of all, get as many free baby products as possible. Places to get Free Baby Stuff: Amazon Baby Registry  Baby Shower Gifts Ask for freebies before you leave the hospital Pediatrician can give you samples Free samples and coupons from: similac, and enfamil.com Stores that offer freebies: Motherhood Maternity and BuyBuyBaby Baby Box Target Registry with Free Baby Welcome Kit Huggies Rewards – your Huggies receipts will help you to earn wonderful gifts and cards Pamper’s Rewards – lots of great rewards here, too! Free Breast Pump – You may qualify under the ACA Nestle Baby – free box of goodies and over $100 in coupons Once you are pregnant, you’ll be on the mailing list of all kinds of offers and freebies, too!  Discounts can save you many dollars on things you really need, such as: cribs, strollers, carseats and high chairs.  With the discounts through Amazon or Target, you can outfit the nursery for much less! The most important things for baby is a place to sleep, clothes and diapers, and milk.  Mothers who breastfeed will have milk for baby without the bottles and formula.  Bottles and formula will be discussed with your doctor or nurse at the hospital.  Hospitals will probably send you home with samples. Before the baby is born, it’s important to have bottles purchased and sterilized.  Baby blankets, burping cloths, socks and baby gowns are going to be used.  Babies can soil their clothes often, so moms will need plenty of changes.  Soft, cotton fabrics are perfect for baby’s sensitive skin. Moms will need a supply of soft towels and washcloths.  Gentle shampoo, soap, and lotions are often used.  A small baby tub is very helpful for newborns.  It prevents all the slipping with baby being wet and slick.   Choosing a crib or bassinet is up to the parent.  There are many choices and price points.  Complete the crib with sheets, mattress pad, and bumper pad.  Colors and prints are available for every taste and style.  Moms can get very creative in planning their nursery. It’s good that parents have 9 months to get ready, because it certainly takes time.   @2019, copyright Lisa Ehrman

HealTop Feel Great Skin-Care

Disclosure: I was provided with the Moms over 45 Bundle for an honest review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I am not a doctor or medical expert, and make no medical claims.  If you have a medical need, please consult your personal physician. Women over 45 have changing skin-care needs.  Our skin may get dryer and lose elasticity.  I know from experience that my skin has changed a great deal.  That’s why we always notice when a new skin-care product offers us improvement. When I was provided with the Moms Over 45 Products Bundle I felt a lot of excitement.  I love trying new skin-care and health products.  When I look at my skin and see the sun damage, the dryness, and the wrinkles I am ready to try something new.  HealTop offers the Moms Over 45 Products Bundle with these great products: Feel Great Body – 100% Natural Body Cream Feel Great Face – 100% Natural Face Cream Feel Great Balance – Natural Supplement for Menopause Products are vegan, cruelty FREE, paraben/sls/artificial scents FREE, manufactured under GMP, HACCP, ISO9000, ISO22000.  This lets you see the seriousness of HealTop in their quest to offer the most natural skin care products. HealTop Feel Great balance is a supplement that focuses on our exclusive age group.  The ingredients for this supplement include: Maca, Black Cohosh, Sambucus nigra blend for women.  Maca is in the cruciferous family (like broccoli) and grows in Peru.  It is known for having a positive effect on hormone balance and energy levels. Black cohosh has been used for the symptoms of menopause.  The Sambucus, which comes from elderberries, has been used to alleviate hot flashes. The Feel Great Body is the large tub in the picture.  This was the first item that I opened.  The ingredients give themselves away when you smell the product.  The stated ingredients include: Coconut oil, sweet almond oil, beeswax, grapeseed oil, and lavender.  I could instantly smell the lavender.  The creamy product goes on a little oily, but soaks in quickly and left my skin feeling soft.  The scent was a little of a herbal scent, too. The Feel Great Face cream is in the smaller container.  The stated ingredients include: extra-virgin olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, grapeseed oil, beeswax, Vitamin E, sandalwood oil, petchouli oil, geranium oil, rosewood oil, calendula oil, citral, geraniol, citronellol, limonene, and linalool. When I opened the Feel Great Face cream, I immediately noticed the herbal scent.  The cream is oily and I rubbed it in good.  Then it felt smooth.  The skin cream is to be put on your face in a thin layer and only used on a clean face.  I rubbed it in a little and then it was absorbed.   I feel good about using all natural ingredients on my skin.  Healtop products are cruelty-free, vegan, and Naturopath approved.  They offer 24/7 live chat and customer care on a toll-free line.  HealTop also offers worldwide shipment to you. @2017, copyright Lisa Ehrman
