My Hoard of Bath Gels

My Hoard of Bath Gels

I love my rebate points. When it's accumulated to a certain amount, I can redeem my Young Living products for free. My current fetish is the bath gels. Look at the number of different bottles for me and my kiddo!

Curiosity first got me trying the Lavender Bath & shower Gel. I have got many friends who loves it and said it smells so heavenly. The shower gel does not contain chemicals or synthetic preservatives. Other than Lavender, it also contains other plant-based ingredients such as coconut oil and star anise. There is a friend who finds it a bit drying for her skin though, as Lavender oil can dry our skin. That is why Lavender can be great for minor cuts and wounds, it'll dry up the wound fast to enable healing.

My verdict? It works great for me. I had tried it for a month. Maybe my skin is on the combination side. I don't find it drying. A very big bonus is that it smells great! The bathroom smells of lingering lavender. I'm a sucker for that. It relaxes me when I'm taking a bath. Onward to my second bottle in my ER next month!

For folks with a bath tub at home, consider pouring some bath gel into the tub for a luxurious soak. No tub, just use some Epsom Salts and drip some Lavender Oil for a relaxing feet soak in a pail or basin after a hard day's work.

Kid has started using the KidScents Bath Gel. Hmm maybe I should get him to give me his feedback in a short paragraph in his own words. LOL Won't that be interesting?

From a mummy's standpoint, I'm not worried that he'll accidentally get soap suds into his mouth when he takes a bath as it's made from natural ingredients. It's gentle on a child's skin and it does not contain any synthetic perfumes. Very young children of course, should still use the product with an adult's supervision. It's made of plant-based ingredients does not mean you can just 'Kanpai' and drink it up like a can of coke.

Only issue I have now is how to get him not to waste my Kidscents Bath Gel. It smells so good with Aloe Vera, Lemon and Cedarwood and he loves to take long baths in the shower! His bottle of KidScents Bath Gel is not going to last that long. Well, a nice smelling baby is better than one who doesn't like to take baths. I kept consoling myself.

"What If I Can't Find My New Class?"

"What If I Can't Find My New Class?"

For friends who had met my son, they will see him as a super cheerful child. Unconcerned about school and his only topic of interest will be Elephants and becoming a Zookeeper when he grows up. Whenever anyone asked if he likes school, his response is always a definite "Yes!".

Thus, I was really surprised to find him a bit gloomy the day before the school term starts in 2017. When asked, he blurted this question to me. "Mum, what if I can't find my new class?"

I was stunned. Sometimes, I forget that emotionally, he's still more vulnerable than his peers of the same age. Probably it's because he's so much taller than his friends! Tall boy ≠ Big boy.

2017 marks the start of his fourth year in primary school and most of his classmates in 2016 had been assigned to different classes. The poor boy was worried that he would not be able to find his new class in the hall on the first day of school. Imagine the School Hall full to the max with Primary One to Primary Six students, his anxiety was understandable. This is also the first year his school practises single session. Last year, P1s & P2s were in the afternoon session.

I did what all Oily mummies would do. Immediately, I whipped out my treasure trove. Applied some Cedarwood on his brain stem and shoulders for a good night's sleep and dripped some Lavender oil on the corner of his pillow for relaxation.

The next morning, I added some Vetiver on his lower spine for some much needed confidence. Not forgetting the usual immunity boosting Thieves on feet and NXR drink.

He came back happy from school on the first day. A  school challenging year for mummy starts! Fighting!
