You cheered us up!

Some days are harder than others, you know the pressure of going to nursery, having to play all day, sing the loudest, dance the best. You get the idea.

And for mami too, being tired, having lots of work and all those grown up problems she seems to talk about.

But then the smallest gestures of kindness from others can cheer you right up!

1st thing that cheered us up

A few days before turning two, I got a card from "a fan". Yes, really that's how she signed the card. Well, I know her, she's Diane, mami's friend, a Style and Arbonne consultant, but still it made us laugh. She sent me card wishing me a happy birthday, now how cool is that?

Thank you Diane you really cheered me up!

2nd thing that cheered us up

Antonella from Living Abroad always stops by my blog to say hi and to see what mami and I are up to. She also knew it was my birthday and a few days later I got some very special gifts from her.

Antonella, you really cheered mami and me up and we are so grateful that you thought of us. We hope we can meet you in person some day.

Besos!

3rd thing that cheered us up

After losing the tops to mami's swiggies, you know, the water bottles that strap to your wrists, Louise from Swiggies UK not only sent her a new pair, but I got my very own kid sized swiggies! Hers are purple and mine are green.

Very, very cool!

4th thing that cheered us up

In one day we received a big box with yummy cupcakes and special honey from Rowse Honey AND a pint glass from Make Mine Milk to take the milk challenge. I tell you, the fastest way to a bloggers heart really is through their tummies.

Thanks for thinking of us!

5th thing that cheered mami up

However, the second way to mami's heart is through makeup and "girl things". So when the nice people at Montagne Jeunesse sent mami a love day, or "Valentine's" day package with a few goodies, including some fruit tasting lip gloss mami was beaming with happiness (and fruitiness).

Thanks for cheering her up - she needed a pick me up.

And the final thing that REALLY cheered us up

Now this one really took us by surprise, the girls at Azaria PR sent mami and I...wait for it...a Bloggy Brilliant Award in the form of a cookie! Not only do they like my blog but I can eat my award too! It really doesn't get any better than this.

But before I eat it, I took a picture to remember it.

That's me with my cookie award!

I hope it tastes as good as it looks. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to the team at Azaria for thinking of mami and me.

You most certainly cheered us right up.

I'm off to take a nap now, but I'll be back soon!

ABC Arbonne Baby Care

Remember mami's vlog talking about Arbonne? Well, this is about Arbonne, but this time its for us kids!

I'm not much for lotions and stuff, but when mami got the chance to try the ABC Arbonne Baby Care range, I agreed for her to try out the nappy cream, the bodywash and lotion on me. After all, I am the only toddler in the family.

I've never had senstive skin. Or so mami thought.

Recently she noticed that my skin was really dry and flaky and had some red and rash like patches. She thought  maybe the body wash we use now was doing it or the cold weather so she switched over to test out the Arbonne baby range to see if it made a difference.

And guess what? The dry patches are getting better!

So what exactly did we try?

First, mami changed my regular hair and bodywash for the Arbonne Baby Hair and Body Wash. It makes lots of bubbles and you only need just a little bit.

I'm getting bigger now so I like to help mami and wash my own hair (even though I can't get all of the soap off!) It does not have a strong smell, it doesn't make me cry and it has been really good on my dry skin.

After my baths, mami has been using the ABC Arbonne Baby Care Body Lotion. I never like the slimy feeling from lotions, but now mami puts some lotion on my hands and I rub it on my legs and arms all by myself. Easy!

Those are the parts that are the most dry on my skin and even papi noticed that my skin was smoother and that the redness and irritation is going away. Good, because I work very hard at getting it all over.

I know no one likes to talk about caca (poo) or rashes, but nappy rash happens. Fact. Sometimes its worse than other times and when it gets bad I cry when mami changes me.

I had a bit of a tummy bug and was pooing all the time. That made the rash even worse, so mami used the Arbonne Baby Care Herbal Nappy Cream. She noticed that you did not need as much as the other cream and that the rash healed a lot faster than before.

Arbonne is a special range and mami and I hare happy that it is working on me. Its hard work having to test these out you know. After all, I am the one being lathered in it! But I don't mind, that way we can tell you about new things.

Oh, and the best part - Diane has given us a Hair and Bodywash and the Body Lotion to give away to one lucky winner!
