Nutri-Synergy Product Reviews

Nutri-Synergy are natural alternative to dry, sensitive and problem skin. The range provides effective treatment for dry, sensitive or problem skin using natural, active ingredients to formulate products that are naturally beneficial.

I was sent some wonderful products from Nutri-Synergy to review and they are really good!

The NS Sensitive Skin Cleanser (retails for $14.95 for 500ml)  is a non-foaming cleanser for sensitive, very dry or problem skin. This natural pH balanced soap-free wash cleanses the skin without stripping natural skin oils. It helps maintain skin’s optimum hydration, and is particularly suitable for eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. I love the way this feels on the skin, so refreshing and clean. My 7 year old son has sensitive skin and he really likes the way this feels on his skin too. He was so happy, he said his face felt "smooth and fresh".

The NS-7 Dry Skin moistuiser (retails for $12.95 250ml) is hydrating and nourishing moisturiser which can be used on the face and body. It contains key ingredients like almond oil, soy protein, allantoin, shea butter, aloe vera, calendula and vitamins B5, C and E. I use this as soon as a get out of the shower to moisturise my legs and arms and its great, it absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and healthy. My husband uses this too and really likes it. I use this on both my kids (seven and one year old) when they have dry skin and it works really well, getting rid of the dryness quickly.

The NS-5 Protective Hand Cream (retails for $7.95 60g)  protects and nourishes the skin, giving relief to dry, chapped hands. It is light, non-greasy and provides protection for skin and locks in natural moisturisers. I love this hand cream, I have tried many hand creams and I must say this may be the best one I have tried. It feels the hands feeling smooth and silky. My hands get dry, so I need something that will keep them moisturised and after using this hand cream, my hands feel great. This is a must have!

I definitely recommend these products for everyone in the family, men, women and children. They are a great natural way of looking after our skin. They can be purchased at Priceline, most chemists or pharmacies and online.

Your ONE years old baby girl !

This week was my daughters first birthday! Can't believe how quickly the first year has gone. I remember when I was pregnant and getting ready to start my maternity leave, I couldn't wait. Mainly because I was so tired and sore all the time!

The day came for my baby girl to be born, the most miraculous feeling ever, and even better was when she met her big brother. Its so beautiful to see them bonding, playing and looking out for each other.

Everyday is the most beautiful day, to watch her grow, develop and learn something new each day.

I cried the day of her birthday! (course I did) They were happy tears knowing my baby girl has made it through her first year.... and yes I will cry on all her birthdays, tears of happiness!

Such a great joy, knowing that I can love my two children so much, protect them and learn along with them!

What do you cherish the most about your childrens birthdays?

Silent Reflux- do you know what it is?

I didn't even know about silent reflux until I had my baby girl, my second child. She is 11mths old now and doing great, but I just wanted to share this incident with you:

I was awoken at 12:05am by a high shrieking cry from my 9 week old baby girl. I rushed to her room only to see her with her mouth covered in bubbles and it looked like more bubbling was coming out of her mouth, while she was struggling to breathe and cope with it. I picked her up and she was still struggling to stop this bubbling that was still coming out of her mouth. Everytime she took a breath the bubbles would go back in her throat which made her choke as she tried to spit it out. I woke my husband and I rang the ambulance. The 000 operator told me to put my finger in her mouth and try to scrape away the water/bubbling stuff and put her on her side and not pat her back. We did exactly what he told us and although my baby was struggling she was crying - which is a good sign - the operator stayed on the phone until the ambulance officers came. Took them 17 mins. they checked her out and everything was fine , heart beat fine, clear lungs, no temperature. this all subsided within about 5 mins or so after they arrived. we then picked her up and she seemed fine and content. My body inside was shaking and anxious throughout the whole thing, but I kept it together on the outside for my little girl. what a scare! They didn't know what had happened only that maybe she is coming down with a cold or may have reflux. Yes she does have silent reflux.

Silent reflux is when your baby is spitting up but instead of it leaving through the mouth, it is swallowed by the baby which gives them a burning feeling in their stomach. This can happen a few times a day. Other symptoms are gagging, choking or burping more than usual.  I have been trying to get more information on silent reflux and what it is, and how to treat it. I have come across a great site RISA - Reflux Infants Support Association Inc. which has lots of information and great to support parents.
