September Box: Focus on Multi-Use Products

Our September Box is all about the multi-use. Each of these products has more than one purpose and can be used in ways that are not always obvious. Each box contains an insert card with descriptions of the products and how they can be used. Read more to learn about each product.

“Pat on the Back” by Megan Baxter

Austin-based author, Megan Baxter, created the book we all need and will actually read. “Pat on the Back” is an affirmation book for parents. It is written as a book you read to your child, but affirms you in your roll as a mom. It’s impossible not to doubt if you are doing a good job being a parent. This book reminds you that even the simple things of being present and reading a book to your baby matter.

Wood River Naturals Mom and Baby Salve

What’s good for baby is usually good for the mom. Mom can use this salve for cracked nipples, knuckles, and lips so it is a life saver for the fall and winter. It works great for baby’s dry lips, cradle cap, or irritated bum. One of the best tips I received in pregnancy was to use nipple cream a month before having a baby. Maybe that did the trick, maybe it was luck, but I never suffer from bleeding nipples while nursing.

DIA Naturals Healing Face and Body Mud Masque

Obviously this mud masque can be and should be used for the face. It reduces redness and irritation, clears acne, and pours minerals back into your skin. The main ingredient in this masque is Indian Fuller’s Earth, which facilitates blood circulation. In India it is common for pregnant women to use Fuller’s Earth on their knees, legs, ankles, and face to reduce inflammation.

Coconut Essentials Coconut Baby

Coconut oil is one of the most useful products nature has given us. First it can prevent stretch marks by keeping your skin moisturized and elastic. Use it to relieve eczema, diaper rash, or put it on a sunburn for soothing relief. Coconut Essentials has perfectly blended coconut oil, sunflower oil, and vitamin E to give you a perfect moisturizer.

 

 

 

 

Mama Bird Box – July Box

July brought a lot of heat and Mama Bird Box brought a lot of pampering. We thought of every way we could get our mama’s to take some time for them. We collected a beautiful assortment of goodies to share.

  1. My Preserve Company – Lavender and Oats Bath Milk
    • Skin dries out so quickly in hot water, and hot, hot water isn’t good for expecting moms either. We encouraged our mamas to take cooler baths with this bath milk. It soothes itchy skin, helps heal sunburns, and the lavender calms the body.
  2. Wood River Naturals – Mom and Baby Massage Oil
    • We always encourage partners to get involved during pregnancy and giving a massage is an easy way to contribute something big. A pregnant body feels all of the aches and pains from her shoulders to her feet. Massaging her feet and joints stimulates endorphins and helps with body. And, surprise!, the same thing happens when your baby gets a massage, too.
  3. Imani Collective – Wall Hanger
    • We teamed up with Imani Collective to create this simple but beautiful wall hanger. You, dear mama, are equipped to be the best mom to your child. Every mother doubts that she is able to do this hard, refining work of motherhood, but she shouldn’t. Please read about Imani Collective and their wonderful business. I’ll guess you have at least 3 items in your cart after perusing their lovely shop.
  4. The Tea Leaf Co. – Simply Mint Tea
    • Peppermint tea never stops being beneficial. It’s a muscle relaxant, which helps you relax and sleep well. Peppermint helps soothe your stomach and helps with digestions. Plus it’s great for colds. Pure peppermint tea is a favorite of mine to serve over ice with just a little honey.
  5. Ziya Soul – Mint Clay Wash
    • Ziya Soul has created a wonderful mask that won’t weigh you down. Detox your skin (and hair) with a minty fresh wash.

Mama Bird Box – May Box

Our May Box is a well-rounded box of fun! We included a colorful notebook that’s easy to tote around for you to write down all the things that you think you’re going to remember, but you’re not. And you shouldn’t expect yourself to. Read more about the products we love introducing you to.

Purple Frog Clear Nursery Spray

Purple Frog has created safe products for the whole family. The Clear Nursery Spray is a room spray blended of peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils that help clear the air after a dirty diaper. More so, it is great to use in the car or the house to relieve nausea or to give yourself a burst of energy.

Gogh Lava Stone Bracelet

Lava stone is excellent for calming emotions thanks to its grounding qualities. Formed from cooling magma, lava is thought to symbolize rebirth, and aid in releasing emotional baggage. We also love how easy a baby can be distracted by the jewelry you were. Lava is porous so this bracelet will hold essential oils for up to 8 hours.

Gypsy Soul Organics Eye Serum

We’ve enjoyed testing this light and quick-absorbing intensely nurturing eye serum. We call it Botox in a Bottle. It has safe, natural ingredients including rosehip oil, which helps improve elasticity around the eye. No matter what stage of pregnancy or motherhood you’re in, you eyes will always appreciate a pick-me-up.
