Baby Magic Luxurious Products for Baby’s Bath

Baby Magic Luxurious Products for Baby’s Bath

Baby Magic Original Baby ScentYears ago when my daughter was very young I remember using Baby Magic baby products on her when I would give her a bath. I always loved how gentle they were on her skin and how fresh & cleaned she smelled after bath time.

My daughter is all grown up now and is currently expecting baby #2. We already know that we will be receiving a grandson in early September and are super excited about this new addition to our family.

Once baby Jaxon arrives we will be using Baby Magic products on him…just like we did with our own daughter and 6 years ago with our grand daughter. It’s a family tradition and I am so glad that Baby Magic is still making wonderful products for us to enjoy.

Recently the company sent us 3 full-size products to review for you. I have to admit, we’ve used the Baby Magic Hair & Body Wash in the Original Baby Scent oodles of times with our grand daughter but never had the pleasure of using the Gentle Baby Lotion or the No-Rinse Wash until now.

All of these baby products are Hypoallergenic, Tear-Free, Dye-Free, Paraben-Free and they are Dermatologist Tested.

We decided to evaluate all of the products while giving my 3 month old godson a bath. We used them on him and then put them away for when Jaxon arrives.

We used the Hair & Body Wash all over his body and to wash his hair. For a 3 month old…he has a lot of thick and dark hair! I love that this product rinses away very cleanly and doesn’t irritate his delicate skin.

After his bath we followed up with the Baby Magic Gentle Baby Lotion. This is a rich & creamy lotion that just glides onto the body and is quickly absorbed. It doesn’t leave behind any stickiness or oily residue at all. He really enjoyed the body lotion massage and was fast asleep before I was even done!

The only product I didn’t try out was  the Baby Magic No-Rinse Wash. It comes in a foaming style pump bottle and you can use this at-home or while on-the-go. I think it’s perfect for the diaper bag! I am sure we are going to love using this once Baby Jaxon arrives.

We are super excited to be including Baby Magic in our 2015 Maternity and New Baby Gift Guide!

How to Buy the Perfect Wind Chimes for Your Outdoor Space

How to Buy the Perfect Wind Chimes for Your Outdoor Space

Wind chimes are an important home decor item and can be used indoors or out. These days you can find them made out of various metals, ceramics, wood, glass, seashells and a whole host of other types of materials. They come in various shapes, sizes and styles.

When selecting the perfect chime for your home or garden it’s important to consider a few things:

* The type of materials it’s made out of will determine where you can hang it. Some chimes are specifically made for indoor use only and others can be used anywhere, while others can only be left outside during the warmer seasons of the year.

* Consider the size of the chimes! If you have a small area you will want to pick chimes that are smaller and if you are decorating a larger area, go for something big, bold and noticeable.

* The design and color that you select should work with your outdoor or indoor decor. It should compliment it and fit-in without being an eye sore.

* Wind chimes each have a unique sound and the volume of that sound can vary greatly. You need to consider this when selecting a style that would be perfect for the space that you plan on hanging them in.

Wind Chimes

Retail stores sell a wide variety of different wind chimes for inside and outside your home. For example, the Blue Cosmix Wind Chimes would be lovely hanging in a garden space, on a front porch or hanging on a branch from your favorite tree.

This particular wind chime measures 18″ long by 4″ in diameter so it will work in almost all of your outdoor spaces. The blue colored faux-crystal catches the light and really gives the chime an elegant appearance. It just needs a gentle breeze and you will hear some soft and soothing sounds.

Wind chimes are a great way to enhance your home and garden with some color and relaxing sounds.
