Happy Safe Baby

Like a lot of people, I also thought that essential oils were only for your bath.

Yet, after using chemical cleaners for literally decades, I was surprised to find out that most essential oils will do a whole bunch more, including disinfect most surface areas.

When you consider all of the new strains of flus and colds that seem to pop up on a regular basis, this is good news for you and your loved ones health.

What’s more, they’re a cinch to use. Simply by placing a few drops in hot water, they will kill airborne bacteria.

You can also boost your immune system using essential oils instead of harming it with harsh chemicals.

Here Are A “Few” Ideas To Get You Started…

1. By simmering 2 to 8 drops of peppermint and lavender you will kill cold virus & help the infected person breathe easier.

2. Put 4 drops of lavender, 2 drops of lemon, 2 drops of rosemary or 3 drops of eucalyptus into 1 quart of water. Pour this mixture into a spray bottle. Then, shake well in a spray bottle and use on kitchen counters, cutting boards, sinks, floors.

3. With the mixture of essential oils above, you can sprinkle 1 to 2 drops on a cloth & place in dryer for a fresh, natural scent and eliminate irritating softener sheets.

4. Research shows that eucalyptus oil kills dust mites. Simply add 25 drops in your washing machine rinse cycle.

5. Drop 2 to 5 of lavender in your hand soap for an antibacterial wash. Mix lavender with Aloe Vera for an instant relief of burns

6. Use a few drops of lavender on a damp cloth to wipe down bathroom & water spots.

7. Place 2 to 5 drops of lavender or chamomile on your pillow to help you relax.

8. To discourage mice you can use diluted peppermint spray.

9. Apply tea tree on a cut or sting to disinfect it with out the hurting sting.

10. For stressful days, place 2 to 10 drops of geranium in a bowl of hot water.

11. Mix 2 to 4 drops of eucalyptus with 4 Tablespoons of Jojoba oil and rub on bottom of feet to help lessen a cold’s symptoms.

If you’re a new mother who is looking for a lightweight, easy to transport umbrella stroller – then you may want to take a look at the BeBeLove Lightweight Umbrella Stroller model 439.

First of all, it is hard to argue with the price! Unlike other strollers costing $100 or more, this stroller offers exceptional value for a LOT LESS. On top of that, this stroller is a cinch to use, and looks really cute to boot.

Transporting this stroller to the grocery store or mall is easy. It is a cinch to pick up and put in the trunk. When you’re getting ready to put the stroller in the trunk with your shopping bags, you can lift it without putting strain on your back since it only weighs thirteen pounds. It also has a removable bar handle allowing it to fit within in a fairly small space. That leaves plenty of room for everything else in your trunk.

And, it looks really cute, but not cutesy.

While you’re at the store with your baby, what about dodging all the stuff in the aisles? Protecting your baby from those nasty collisions is not a problem. The wheels on this strollers swivel and lock as your need them too. This really comes in handy while you’re shopping, because as we all know, shopping carts don’t have horns or turn signals, so people can suddenly show up out of seemingly nowhere.

When taking your baby for an outside stroll, say at an outdoor mall, you will really appreciate the large size of the sun canopy. It sure helps to keep the direct sunlight out of your baby’s face, and even those blaring ceiling lights sometimes found inside stores. You can also take whatever supplies your baby may need, in its storage basket underneath such as extra diapers, bottles, wipes and extra baby clothes.

I must point out though, that this stroller is really only for occasional use. Obviously, as you might expect, it is not as durable as it’s costlier cousins. Being a lightweight stroller, it comes with a maximum weight capacity of thirty-three pound pounds. It really works best for everyday, busy shopping or going to the outdoor mall kind of trips, verses any adventures on off-road rough gravel or uneven ground cover.

If inexpensive, lightweight occasional use that is easy to maneuver, lift up and transport, has ample storage space, great sunlight protection and look great to boot – then I think the BeBeLove Lightweight Umbrella Stroller model 439 is worth a look.
