ONLY ORGANIC No.1 Baby Food Brand

Sebrinah Yeo March 26, 2020 0

As a mother of 3, I always look for the best for my baby. And being an experienced mom for the 3rd time, I always keep myself updated with what's the best out there in the market. Especially when it comes to baby food, I never compromise on the quality of the product from its origin to its content and so much more.

That being said, I had to feature this article just for "ONLY ORGANIC" which is the No.1 Organic Brand in New Zealand and Australia. The thing with this, is I love how the packaging is really sturdy and of good quality.

My baby just couldn't wait to open it up to eat it. She did attempt to bite the cap but it ain't so easy.

It's airtight that makes keeping the extras convenient enough. The other good thing about this is, it has a variety of flavours to choose from:

- Banana & Apple Smoothie

- Mango, Sweet Potato and Quinoa

- Apple, Banana & Mango

- Vanilla Bean Custard

Apart from these, it also has the Teething Rusk that my baby just loves biting it for a few minutes. Atleast something to keep her busy while I cook or have my meals.

Why did I choose this brand is because it is a unique organic baby food with No Pesticides, No GMO, it also has a wide range of fruits combination that is conveniently packed in a safe packaging.

And with that I am glad I was able to get a few stocks of this to keep my baby satisfied especially during this Covid-19 lockdown or Movement Restricted Order period. For babies 6months onwards you can definitely start getting this for your lil ones.

Here's a discount code for you to use online at Radiant website.

Sebrinah Yeo March 20, 2020 0

Nowadays, we are always looking for the best product for our family and loved ones. However, with so many brands out there, there was this one particular brand that caught my attention the most. ECOSTORE is known to be the No.1 Eco brand product from New Zealand.

I didn't hesitate to get a set for my baby girl and it was good to say that I would also recommend it for those with lil ones. I like its no nasty chemicals and plant-based ingredients that is really soothing and refreshing.

The aroma is really calming and it isn't like the other products out there that seems to be using chemicals or synthetics that makes your skin irritable. This one smells and the texture even feels really gentle on the skin.

I also really like how it doesn't emit too much bubble meaning it is safe from harmful chemicals but yet it lathers evenly neat and smoothly on my baby's skin. She didn't even cry during bath time.

After bath, she do gets her massage time and the baby oil by ECOSTORE was pretty decent, because it does not leave any sticky oily residue and it absorbs efficiently. It's not too diluted neither is it too thick too.

I also love how it's packaging is really neat, simplicity at its best! No nonsense product I would say, because it is truly environmental friendly and by using ECOSTORE brand products, I believe we are playing a role in saving the earth!

Especially now we need a more safer product to keep us protected not just on the inside but even external, we need to really have good hygiene to stay healthier all-rounded. And I'm sure my baby girl approves of this brand too.

If you are looking for good products for your lil loved ones now or even for your family, you can always use my code for a special 20% discount off your purchases*.

Valid on ECOSTORE products on Radiant website only. Valid until end July 2020.

Nutritious Fernleaf UHT Milk For My Kids

UHT

Sebrinah Yeo October 12, 2018 1

Fernleaf, a well known dairy expert brand since 1893, well known by many in Malaysia! It is a brand that is of the highest quality grade of milk that derived from grass-fed dairy cows that graze the outdoors freely all the way in New Zealand! I trust this brand because of it's Trusted Goodness seal on pack that is filled with the best and highest quality of milk that is worthy of a world class premium product.

My kids love drinking milk, they were breastfed since young (and I am not a cow okay! If I were, maybe I'm a New Zealand cow too, free-range style ahahahahha). And now as both my kids venture into new environment, where my eldest is embarking on a new journey to entering Kindergarten next year whilst my youngest just turned 2 years old; They have many more things to learn as they grow. And as a mom, I would only want the best nutrition for them and lets not forget the yummiest too!

The minute I brought home the Fernleaf pack, my kids literally finished it all in 2 days! That is how delicious it is, 100% Mmmmm!

This nutritious Fernleaf UHT milk, made in 100% milk from New Zealand, are from the healthiest and happiest cows back in New Zealand that produces milk naturally and fed with high quality fresh grass too! So guys & gals, it's what you eat that also matters okay~! (Of course you're not cows la hahaha #perasanbetul)

However, I must say that my kids were happy to indulge in this yummy milk, especially the Chocolate flavour. My youngest didn't let go of the normal milk flavour UHT pack too!! Even the cows in new Zealand will probably smile watching my kids drink their milk.

So if you've yet to try it out for your family, I'd suggest you to wait no more and just go get some and indulge! I need to go now, to restock also for my kids, until next time~

Why Am I Choosing Natural Red Seal?

toothpaste

Sebrinah Yeo June 29, 2018 0

As a mother of 2 boys, with a husband who has psoriasis; It drives me to source for solutions and products that are formulated with natural source of ingredients with less or no chemicals for my family. You see, I was never an advocate for healthy nor natural remedies all my life until meeting my loved one and having my kids, things changed. I started to realize how important it is to have a healthy and natural lifestyle.

We have heard one too many of the kinds of pollution eating up our earth day by day. And due to that, many are affected by its and can be seen through the conditions they may suffer with, whether it may be short term or long term. I came to realize that really affordable products most times has chemical substances that is harmful for the body and because of that, the chemicals that was produced just for that purpose actually causes the pollution to our earth and even to our body! Let's take toothpastes for example, since my mom started learning about Google, she has been looking up healthier remedies for the family ever since. So way before I got married, we would ALWAYS search for a toothpaste WITHOUT chemicals like Paraben, SLS and ESPECIALLY Flouride. BUT, it was really difficult back then. SO we would resort to using Baking powder or VCO (Virgin Coconut Oil) to brush our teeth or do oil-pulling just to have a better oral health.

Over the years, people starts to be more aware of what they put on their skin and into their mouth especially and there was a handful of choice for natural remedies. However, today am finally excited to know that Red Seal is now available in Malaysia!

Tony Robinson (Int. director, Red Seal) says "I love the fresh fruit,the warmth in Malaysia. Consumers these days require complete and total transparency from food and drinks companies; including products that we use. We want to be reassured of safety and goodness of the products; So, we're looking for a more natural products for ourselves, our family and it's also for the environment."

Do you know that Red Seal was founded in 1923 when herbalist and naturopath William T Anderton opened a small shop on Symonds Street in Auckland. His objective was to help his clients achieve “a naturally healthy mind and body” with the use of herbal remedies. He started mixing his remedies in the shop for New Zealanders and the products became popular, the company grew. It is now a known natural healthcare brand with science and nature that comes together for you to live your life best!

Some of their products ingredients such as the Propolis Toothpaste, (incase you didn't know, propolis is an abundance in New Zealand) contains 100% New Zealand bee propolis with antiseptic and antibacterial properties; Which is really good for those suffering from gingivitis and sensitive gums. The hives are also free of disease. Their one other main ingredient is the mighty Totarol tree in New Zealand. The Totarol oil extract from the Totarol tree comes with Anti-Bacterial properties by itself.

Michelle Irving from NZ, Red Seal's resident Naturopathic expert says, "We brush our teeth literally 55 thousand times in our life. So let's make it count. Naturopathy is based on the body ability to heal itself. It assist to treat the patient holistically through the mind, body, soul and emotions. And as a Naturopathic, our philosophy is about prevention."

Red seal brings to you a more natural option to reduce chemical loads on/in your body. Red seal wants their customers to live your best life.

This is Anna, a Korean but grew up in Malaysia, so she's practically a Malaysian. For 2 and half years, she's been using Red Seal through a friend in Australia. "I was changing my products back then and was a little more health conscious on what I put on and in my body. And thankfully, my friend, a health junkie introduced this to her. After I started learning about it, and mind you, I have tried many products because I have weak gums. But once I started using this, it made things easier for me and I use Propolis Toothpaste. So everytime when I visit Australia or anyone going there, I will ask them to grab a few stocks back to keep and stock up because my family uses them too. And my family in Korea uses them too."

Maggie, is a pharmacist and mother of 2 boys, age 5 and age 9. She said "I taught my kids to brush their teeth and in the beginning I bought a popular brand toothpaste that I've used when I was young. To be honest, I didn't think much about it until I realize my kids swallowed it! As a pharmacist, I got worried because it's not only bad for health but it's bad for the teeth. Children should be using non-flouride toothpaste that is flouride free and natural. DSo I went looking for a more natural toothpaste solution and found Red Seal,I was delighted when I saw the labels when it was formulated with natural plant-based extract. Paraben, SLS, flouride free and no added chemicals. Now I can say I'm glad I found this toothpaste for my children. I would definitely recommend this toothpaste to all parents out there."

My kids love their new toothpaste! Previously they were also on another brand that is non-flouride but I realized it didn't clean well. And what I like about the Kids toothpaste is that, it is like your toothpaste that you have been using throughout the years in terms of similar scent, taste, color and texture BUT with a totally natural formulated solution of a New Zealand product with 100% New Zealand ingredients. Red Seal is also a worldwide known brand across the Pacific. And with it being available in Malaysia, we now have a great access to a more natural and healthier choice for the whole family!

They have a few variety; The signature toothpaste is the Natural Toothpaste, a combination of 12 herbs and extracts. Has a mild, minty pleasant taste and suitable for the whole family.

For ulcer-prone individuals, you can opt for the special formula, Natural SLS Free Toothpaste that is free off SLS and provides a gentle protection on the mucosa layer. Suitable for those wearing teeth braces.

The Baking Soda Toothpaste helps remove stains naturally, perfect for coffee or tea drinkers. It's a ntural teeth whitener. Before I knew of Red Seal, I used to brush my teeth with Baking Soda and VCO twice weekly and my teeth is whiter and cleaner for sure but it tastes horrible. Now it will be much better with the Red Seal Baking Soda Toothpaste!

Propolis Toothpaste as mentioned above it's 100% New Zealand bee propolis. Great for those suffering from gingivitis and sensitive gums. This would probably be my solution to my sensitive gums over the years!

Kids toothpaste, my kids love it now! The taste is like bubble gum, but its not chemically flavoured! It's actually enhanced with REAL banana and peach flavours! So I don't have to worry if they swallow their toothpaste now.

They are exclusively available in Caring pharmacies nationwide with price ranges from RM18.70 to RM28.20. If you'd like to find out more about Red Seal toothpastes, please visit
