OcuFresh Eye Wash Review and A Giveaway!!

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Terri Patillo #197!!

This summer has been really hard on me because of allergies. My poor son has had bad allergies too. His eyes are sooo itchy and so are mine! Ugh. My sons eyes even swell up at times because he is itching them so dang much :(

I was very happy to be contacted by a PR to see if I would like to review the OcuFresh Eye Wash by Optics Lab, this was a good time for us to try it out! I said yes and was sent a nice little package of the OcuFresh Eye Wash to try out. Since OcuFresh is safe for children, I was happy to let me son try it out first.

The OcuFresh helps relieve eyes from itching, burning, and other discomforts that can occur. My son HATES me putting eye drops in his eyes, hates it. So I knew this would be interesting to try to actually get a drop or two into his eyes! But, on the third try, I did it! He realized it was not a big deal and his itchy eyes became less itchy in about 5 minutes. He suddenly liked it when I put eye drops in his eyes :)

This is great to have on  hand and the OcuFresh Eye Wash comes in individually packaged vials. This is so nice, and they are so tiny, so throwing a few in your purse is not a big deal! With kids swimming, playing on the beach and being outdoors this summer, these will come in handy to have around, trust me!

Great things to keep in mind about OcuFresh:

 

  • Preservative Free (single-use vials)
  • Washes away irritants
  • Helps relief burning, itching and stinging eyes

I Have a Case of the Knee Tickles!

By ·

Yep! You heard me right! I have a bad case of the silly knee tickles! I don’t know if it is because it is spring, and my knees are feeling the huge need to have hay fever all of a sudden or if it is just because they need attention… I am feeling quite betrayed by them…

I am trying to get it all figured out, but in the meantime my knees are being skinned alive! They are red and burning and ITCHY!! What is going on?

I am off to drag them on the floor, then use a brillo pad on them…

Tips to keep your kids healthy this Spring & 3 Giveaways!

By ·

CONTEST IS OVER! CONGRATS TO: Kitty COMMENT #19, christa marteny COMMENT #23 AND Faythe COMMENT #5!!!!

nasalguard

We all know that when Spring is here, the allergies start acting up, big time! Around here, my daughter gets itchy dry skin, my son gets bloody noses and itchy eyes and I get a horrible itchy nose and throat! Ahh, allergy season!!! UGH!

Health and Wellness Expert, Ashok Wahi, a renowned author and prominent inventor, has compiled five tips that will give parents peace of mind while allowing their kids to get outside and enjoy the season! Heck, I can use all the tips I can get right about now!

Allergen

The 5 Tips:

1.       Protect kids from spring allergies. Springtime activities may increase a child’s exposure to allergens which can spark symptoms such as sneezing or itchy, watery eyes. Wahi suggests trying a drug-free alternative that won’t make your child drowsy like other over-the-counter products. Wahi invented the NasalGuard® technology, which is currently being marketed in the U.S. and Canada as Chloraseptic® AllergenBlock®. Nasalguard is a clear odorless gel that is applied to the outer nose and upper lip and it blocks airborne allergens from entering the nasal passages and stops allergies before they start.  He was motivated to develop Nasalguard years ago by a desire to help his own daughter who suffers from cat allergies.

2. Keep kids focused on school until summer vacation through yoga. As the sun is shining and birds are chirping children may become more interested in what is going on outside the classroom windows compared to what is on the blackboard. Wahi, author of 14 different yoga books including Yoga for Kids, suggests that parents should consider the positive impact that yoga can have on keeping children focused both in school and after.

3. Prevent insect bites. Avoid having your child suffer from itchy, painful bug bites by using the appropriate insect repellent. Parents should only use products that are approved for children and should follow the manufacturer’s instructions for removing the repellent when you return indoors.

4. Ensure safe sun exposure.  The warm weather will inevitably result in increased sun exposure for children. To ensure safe sun exposure for their kids, consider protective clothing, applying sunscreens with UVA and UVB protection and having kids wear sunglasses.  Even when it’s cloudy a child can be sunburned and certain insect repellents can lower the effectiveness of suntan lotion.

5.       Practice water safety with children. Beyond never leaving children unsupervised around water, parents should also take some additional precautions to ensure safety around water. Wahi suggests talking to children about the dangers of playing in canals and rivers and teaching the importance of wearing approved safety devices while boating or tubing.
