Let's start with some fun facts. Lavender has been used throughout history to treat many ailments such as insomnia, colic and even in the prevention and treatment of illnesses. The medicinal benefits of this beautiful and aromatic herb cannot be beat due to its amazing antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. When used in the form of an oil and diffused into the air, this herb can alleviate migraines, create a relaxed atmosphere and set the mood for a romantic evening. Since lavender is an all natural remedy for bacterial infections, having its sweet aroma wafting throughout your home is said to reduce the chances of catching and or spreading illnesses or colds. While it is not recommended to ingest lavender or other concentrated oils because the constant exposure to concentrated extracts can lead to other complications, using fresh or dried lavender leaves for use in cooking or preparing meals is fine. Drinking a warm cup of lavender tea or using as seasoning on an assortment of meal options is highly beneficial. Ingesting fresh or dried lavender leaves is known to help with bloating which is often caused by poor gastrointestinal health and recent antibiotic usage. The antibacterial components restore natural gut flora and in turn, reduces abdominal bloating. As for Ellie Bean and I, we LOVE Lavender anything, especially when it comes to our nightly routine! We used lavender bath products, lavender lotions, and we diffuse lavender in her room to help her sleep at night. When Bulk Apothecary offered a Lavender Bath Bomb Kit for us to try, I was excited to give it a shot! Every part of this beautiful kit was packaged really well and sealed tight for freshness. The recipe card was included, simple to follow, and the next time we had a rainy day... we put it all together!
The bath bombs came out a little crazy, but that's more my fault than the kit. I was a bit too anxious to use them and didn't let them set as long as I should have. We dropped the bath bomb in the tub and Ellie Bean started giggling with excitement as we watched it fizzle and explode in the bathwater. The aroma was potent, but soothing. When she got out of the tub, her skin was silky smooth and her eyes were already starting close. No sooner did I get her in her pajamas and turn on her diffuser that she was out cold. We often struggle with getting her to sleep right away, but tonight, she was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. I can't wait to try some of the other kits and products that Bulk Apothecary has to offer. What are your favorite bath bomb scents? Do you love lavender too?

When it arrived, I followed the instructions and allowed it to charge overnight before I powered it up to start setting it up. I appreciated that the tablet came with the case already on it and that it already had basic apps downloaded. There is an adult mode and a child mode, but once in child mode, it does require a passcode to revert back. This makes me feel fantastic as a parent because I know my daughter will not be able to access something that she is not supposed to. Thanks to the front and rear camera, I can enable skype so that Ellie Bean can have her own chat sessions with her aunts and uncles and cousins without the need for me to stop what I'm working on and hand over my work computer! Another great option is the time restrictions. I can set the time for an hour and then it will actually tell her to put it down (or whatever message you choose). I love that option to limit her screen time and even more so, that a company recognizes that these limits need to exist. Finally, I was skeptical at first about looking at a different brand, and typically, I go by "you get what you pay for"... in that respect, I have spent quite a bit on the bigger, more expensive brands like Leapfrog or InnoTab, and I am definitely happier with this tablet than I was with the battery life or app availability on the others. There is a huge value in iRulu, and I can't wait to try more of their products! We have all dealt with the picky eater phase of toddler hood. Some children are more difficult than others, but this turns healthy eating, into fun eating! This product is made of a really durable plastic that will stand up to any fruit or veggie you want to put through it. I love that the website offered step by step instructions, (although it's simple enough to work without it!) Just think, Breakfast in the morning with heart shaped pancakes and fruit that your child can interchange to make a fun puzzle of nutritious foods! As I play with this more, I'll update you on the progress Elena makes with eating fruits and veggies. She's already loving the cool pancake bites and honeydew hearts!

With substantial discounts and convenient 2 day shipping, what's not to love? Personally, I fell in love with Amazon Mom a little over a year ago. The convenience of ordering diapers and wipes online as a subscription service made my already hectic life so much simpler. I didn't have to think about whether I had to add it to the grocery list, the box would just show up at the front door! I found that it was often cheaper than purchasing at the store, plus the 20% discount and free shipping... it really was a no-brainer.
