Episencial Soothing Cream Review

Recently I was contacted with a question on what product work great for eczema but is natural. I recommended Episencial's Soothing Cream to the customer and she sent me the e-mail below. I hope all you mamas with children with ezcema find some hope in this!

"Growing up, I have always had to battle eczema. Finding products that will not irritate my skin further has been quite an adventure throughout my lifetime. The wrong moisturizer or soap could easily leave me looking like a person with measles. My quest for finding the perfect lotion without having to use a prescription full of harsh chemicals, has been something I have done all of my life.

As the mother of a toddler with extreme eczema, I am always on the lookout for a great moisturizing product that won’t irritate my son’s skin. Like me, my little guy’s skin gets irritated easily and he can go from having skin “soft as a baby’s bottom,” to “skin like a fish’s body,” in one trip to the pool. Medical providers have told me to cut back on the number of bath’s for my son and to forget about letting him ever take a bubble bath. A bubble bath? That is one of the joys of bath time for a child!

Happy Cotton Tails has recently started carrying the Episencial brand of natural skin products. They range from lotions and body washes to bubble bath and sunscreen. Aside from the adorable design using “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” these products are the bomb.com! After giving you a little history, you can tell that I have tried many, many products for my family’s skin. The soothing cream is amazing! It is the denser product made for “itchy, bothered skin comfort.” Although it is thicker than the regular lotion, it does not feel heavy or greasy. A little of this product goes a long way. I saw a huge difference in my son’s skin within the first few days of use, and I haven’t stopped using it! After a week, I started using the product on myself as well and couldn’t be happier with the results! As most women know, you have to be extremely careful with products used on your face or your babies sensitive skin. I have no problem using the soothing cream on my face. Because it is all natural, my skin does not get irritated or break out. I keep a bottle of this lotion everywhere-the bathroom, the car, the pool bag, and even at grandma’s house! Because of this cream, I am able to let my son take longer, more frequent baths, and yes, he can even enjoy the bubble bath! I would highly recommend this soothing cream to any household whether you suffer from dry skin or not!

Thank you Happy Cotton Tails for carrying such a great product!"

Healing Hazel Hazelwood

White Adult Hazelwood

Typically every item I carry I have tried and loved. Every once in awhile there is a product that I haven't had the opportunity to try but everyone raves about. This product was Hazelwood. Hazelwood is know for it's natural ability to fight acid reflux and calm eczema. If you haven't met my boys they are spitters. They are exorcist spitters. If you are sitting across the room, you will get spit up on you. With my first son Andrew I used to cry thinking he was spitting up his entire meal. Now that Isaac is 3 months old I figured it was time to give hazelwood the true test. If anyone could prove that these necklaces work... it was my kid. 

It was around lunch time when I remembered to put it on him. As soon as it was on he was ready to eat. After nursing I burped him and he puked. Not the whole meal but he puked. Every other feeding that day was spit up free. Not even a dribble out the side of his mouth. It was amazing. 

I took the necklace off of him while he slept and during his feeding throughout the night he spit. First thing in the morning I put the necklace back on. All day today he has been spit up free. Every burp I'm waiting for the shirt filled with puke or it all in my hair and it's clean.

Since I love this product so much and it has been proven on my son I decided to order more and bring in adult hazelwood so mommies can have the relief they need as well. Here is the link to the necklaces. As always there is free shipping on amber and hazel necklaces. They come in 11", 13" & 18". They also come in a variety of colors! 

Have you used hazelwood? Did it work wonders for you as well?

My Journey With Cloth Diapering a Newborn - Part Two

bumGenius Freetime AIO (All In One)

When I first saw the bumGenius Freetime I thought it would be very bulky on a newborn. I assumed it would be the same as putting a one size on with two inserts. Boy was I wrong. This diaper is nice and trim and fit my 9lber great. 

For more information or to order a bumGenius Freetime Diaper click here.

bumGenius Newborn Diaper (AIO)

When considering a newborn diaper the bumGenius newborn diaper was one I was iffy on. My babies are typically 10lbs or more and I worried they would grow right out of it. The bumGenius Newborn Diaper was the first diaper my little man wore out of the womb. It fit great! I absolutely love these. They are easy to put on and a AIO which, when you are lacking on sleep, feeding and taking care of a baby all day on top of your other children and home the last thing you want to do is stuff diapers. Isaac is now close to 11lbs and they still fit him great.
