RINGANA FRESH baby FRESH baby body & hair wash: clean from head to toe RRP 50 ml, £6.70
This mild washing gel cleans delicate skin and hair ultra gently. The pH-friendly formulation is very kind, and won’t make their eyes sting. (Super helpful when you have little ones not so keen on showering too!) Skin-soothing extracts of oat, cotton and witch hazel prevent irritation. Ectoin, as a stress protection molecule, supports the skin barrier. Almond and sesame oil have a grooming, lipid-restoring effect, and help to untangle hair. The sensitive skin is supplied with moisture, protecting it from drying out; another perfect element of us taking these away with us… after a day of sunshine and creams, something to wash away, protect and moisturise together.
This nurturing formulation effectively soothes irritation in the nappy area with witch hazel extract and cotton extract. It strengthens the skin barrier and forms a breathable protective film on the skin. Natural almond, sesame and jojoba oil from controlled organic cultivation promote skin regeneration.

Skin-soothing ingredients such as witch hazel extract and cotton extract effectively groom baby’s delicate skin. Applied to a soft, washable cloth, FRESH baby bum foam is an excellent alternative to baby wipes and can also be used on hands and face. It doesn’t need to be rinsed off. – Our little one loved this, especially seeing the foam come out of the pump. She thought it was playtime not just freshening up time! The bottle size was super handy to take along to the beach or the pool, or to pop in a bag for the flight.
FRESH baby oil: a real all-rounderRRP 50 ml, £7.66
Whether used for daily skin care, relaxing baby massages or gentle cleaning, FRESH baby oil was developed for the special needs of baby skin which quickly dries out and loses moisture.

Organic extracts of oat and vanilla soothe the skin and have an antioxidant effect. This was the perfect finishing addition after a long day in the beautiful sunshine, once free of all the creams, sand and more we would smother everyone in this (even the adults) to help lock in moisture keep our skin feeling super soft!
This super set is one that we will be keeping with us, especially when we are on the go and exploring allof the summer fun – we will have baby bum foam in our pocket, and to hand for all our big days out including glamping under the stars!
Michael B Jordan returns as director and Adonis Creed
You can’t run from your past, but you should be running to the cinema this weekend, for the next installment of Creed. From Metro Goldwyn MayerPictures comes Creed III, with Michael B. Jordan making his directorial debut and returning in the role of Adonis Creed in the third installment of the hit franchise.
After dominating the boxing world, Adonis Creed has been thriving in both his career and family life. When a childhood friend and former boxing prodigy, Damian (Jonathan Majors), resurfaces after serving a long sentence in prison, (with a huge chip on his shoulder, believing his friend had taken his place in life) he is eager to prove that he deserves his shot in the ring; and that Heavyweight Champion of the world should be his. The face-off between former friends is more than just a fight. To settle the score, Adonis must put his future on the line to battle Damian a fighter who has nothing to lose.
Now this may be the mum in me, but I have to applaud the focus and light that is given to Bianca and Amara (Mila Kent) and how the film is bringing loss of hearing and or deafness to the forefront of peoples minds and onto the big screen. This making children in the same situation feel like they are represented, so I sit back and applaud!
It’s great to feel every moment, and emotion throughout the film, from the sheer love between the family and Adonis’ protection for his mumma; to hatred and jealously from former friends.
Michael B Jordan stars alongside Jonathan Majors
The film also stars Tessa Thompson, Jonathan Majors, Florian Munteanu, newcomer Mila Kent, and Phylicia Rashad.

Check out this brand-new “I’m Green” line of bioplastic toys from Dantoy. Made of at least 90% sugarcane, a sustainable raw material, Dantoy’s bioplastic is 100% recyclable.
Dantoy’s range of bio toys includes this popular 22-piece, pretend play dinner set which can be used for garden picnics. Ideal for playing it is safe, durable and toxin free. It encourages social skills, interaction and helps children to learn whilst having fun. We were kindly #gifted a set for George to try out and he loves them. They are made well, and can sustain any banging and crashing around (just like any other plastic) that little ones absolutely love doing! They’re also a lovely muted green colour too, rather than the common rainbow brights you get in most children’s toys.
Dantoy leads the way with their bioplastics. The manufacture of bioplastics reduces carbon emissions. The sugarcane is cultivated on controlled, pesticide-free plantations in central and southern Brazil and is harvested every 6 – 12 months. Bioplastic made of sugarcane is a 100% sustainable raw material. Making the sets a green planet friendly option which essentially makes way for a healthier planet for our little ones to live on in their futures!
Sugarcane can be harvested several times a year and new plants are planted every five to seven years. The fields are harvested every six to twelve months enabling them to be classified as a sustainable raw material too. Another great bonus is that Sugarcane absorbs carbon dioxide from the air, thereby minimising the greenhouse effect. For the manufacture of bioplastic, the carbon emissions accounts are positive from the budding of the plant until it is manufactured into bioplastic. For each kilo of manufactured bioplastic, 3.09 kg of carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.
An added bonus is that Dantoy’s packaging is all made from recycled cardboard. Their toys are made to last and are approved for contact with foods, microwave safe, dishwasher safe, frost-proof and contains no toxins. – More green and eco credentials which we believe is great, creating an all round eco green product!
Dantoy believe that people should buy less & buy well. That is why their toys are only made with sustainable products. We can all be eco-friendly and by choosing brands who care will make a little difference.
