Rowse Campaign For Real Manuka - Warming Chamomile Pick Me Up!

If you are into "superfoods" you will no doubt be aware of how great Mankua honey is.

If you do not know what Manuka honey is or what the benefits are from Mankua honey, let me explain a little bit more.

Mankua honey comes from bees who forage the Manuka bush in New Zealand. It has been used for decades by the Maori community in New Zealand who swear by its healing and anti bacterial properties. It can be used to fight off colds and illnesses as well as boost you immunity and can even help skin conditions.

But, that is not all it can be used for.

It is also great for digestion, boosts your energy levels in a natural way and can even be used as an anti inflammatory!

I was amazed by how good this honey is for our bodies.

When buying Mankua honey it is essential that you look for the NPA grade. The higher the grade, the higher the purity and concentration of the Manuka. I was recently sent a jar of Rowse Manuka Honey NPA 15+ to use in creating a drink. With the weather being as it is I decided to make a warming drink that will help chase away the cold blues and will soothe a sore throat and cough.

Here is my Warming Chamomile Pick Me Up.

The Cold Won!

I hate to say this, but the cold won!
My attempts to beat the bug were all in vain. I have caught it and feel really rubbish!
Last night once the kids were in bed all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball. I had a hot shower, got my snugly pyjamas on and did just that.
I am now trying to just feel ok. I have stocked up on cold and flu tablets, hot lemon drinks, fresh orange juice and tissues.
The twins are asleep and instead of rushing around doing jobs I am just going to sit with the tv on and blog!
That should cheer me up a bit.
Moan over now for my Great Bloggers Bake Off post :-)

Cussons Mum & Me - Baby Bath to comfort Snuffles Review

We were recently asked to try Cussons Mum & Me Baby Bath to comfort Snuffles.
When we first received the Baby Bath there were no snuffles sight so I've kept it on one side.
Now that the weather has changed and Joseph has returned to school the dreaded colds, snuffles and coughs have arrived!
Poor little Isabella really is feeling it more than the other two. So what better time than now to try out Cussons Mum & Me Baby Bath to comfort Snuffles!
I ran some of the baby bath into the warm water and as I frothed it up for some bubbles the refreshing smell of menthol was released. Along with the warm water, the menthol starts its work on the snuffles. It did cause lots of runny noses but that just shows that it is doing what it says! It really did clear out her nose!
Cussons Mum & Me Baby Bath to comfort Snuffles is not only a fantastic way to comfort the little ones when they have colds. Even I have put it to the test and used it to ease my bunged up nose. However when I used it in a hot shower the menthol vapours were even stronger and worked wonders!
The Cussons Mum & Me range is not only great for the babies but is also suitable for the whole family!
You know that it is a range that you can trust.
Now for the product information! Cussons Mum & Me Baby Bath to comfort Snuffles:

* Contains menthol
* Hypoallergenic
* Paediatrician approved
* Kind to eyes
* Ophthalmologist approved

While any of us have the snuffles I will be keeping Cussons Mum & Me Baby Bath to comfort Snuffles close to hand!

Busy Day!

Today is hubby's first day back at work after his accident.
I have quite mixed feelings about this.
On one hand it is great that he is well enough to go back to work and that me and the kids can get back into more of a routine.
On the other hand I miss him. It has been lovely having another pair of hands around the place and a second pair of eyes to watch the twins antics!
Today we are back to our normal school week routine. I have managed to whizz round getting jobs done and doing umpteen loads of washing while the weather is good.
But we have got 3 kiddies that are full of cold, which makes bad nights and grumpy twins. So I have had a trip to Tesco to stock up on vitamins, vapour rub and plug in vapouriser to help them sleep tonight. Goodness know both me and the hubby could also do with a good nights sleep.
As well as house jobs and ironing to catch up on I have got a couple of review posts to write, a couple of yummy recipes and I need to bake for Great Bloggers Bake Off.
My life if manic, but I love it!
