product review: safety first press ‘n pull plug protectors

saw this item from the display rack of the baby’s section in landmark, trinoma while i was shopping for my son’s baby items in january. with my toddler beginning to be curious of his surroundings and starting the habit of approaching and touching a socket whenever he sees one, this will come in handy to prevent accidents in the future. so without a second thought, got one from the shelf and placed it in my shopping basket.
how it works:

  • simply insert the plug protector into unused socket. the plug protector will fit firmly in place
  • to remove button, simply press in on the button + pull out of the socket

my two-cent’s worth:
for Php139.75 for a pack of 25 pieces, i’ll say it’s worth all the money considering the peace of mind this product will give us all mommies. i’ve placed a few on the unused plugs here in our room and on those other sockets visible and reachable by my tot. i’ll say go and grab one for yourselves and save yourself the unnecessary worries. and mind you, it is also an effective reminder to a sister who constantly forgets to unplug her appliances when she left her room *wink*

indigo baby’s jar of hope

i have read good reviews on this product and have been wanting to try it myself so i requested this for our newly-established tradition family kris kringle last december. my brother bought it from sesou nature source at Php390 for a 30ml-jar.
in a nutshell:
  • this miracle salve is made out of blue chamomile and essential oils. 
  • an all-around concoction great for mommy + daddy burnouts, stress, insomnia, insect bites, motion sickness, inflammation, rashes, chicken pox, cuts and wounds
  • ideal for fussy babies +  helpful in teething, sore nipples + even breastfeeding!
  • best applied cold (so put it in the fridge when not in use)
my two-cents:
  • jared bumped his forehead a few days back and it was immediately swollen, i put this salve instead of ice and it worked, the bump is gone the next day!
  • since this is 100% natural, i have peace of mind applying it to any part of my son’s body
  • replaces a host of other baby ointments i was using for (like petroleum jelly and the likes)
  • i inhale a whiff (a la vicks vaporub) whenever i have colds and it’s very safe i can even have my son do that too:)  
  • the only downside is it is quite pricey for a 30ml salve, but really worth it since peace of mind and your baby’s safety is priceless, right? so, i give it my two thumbs up!
