Susan Brown's Baby Products

Susan Brown’s Baby offers pure and gentle luxury products for baby and mom! Winter can be especially tough on our skin and that’s why I recommend using Susan Brown’s Baby products! This is all I will use for Haley now (yeah, I know she’s 7 but this isn’t just for babies). Haley has had eczema since she was born and Susan Brown’s Baby products for sensitive skin have made her skin the softest it’s ever been!

The Susan Brown story is very interesting! Her father was a chemist for over 30 years, creating naturally hydrating ingredients for some of the best known skin care companies such as Estee Lauder, Chanel, Clinique, L’Oreal, and Neutrogena. He would bring home these wonderful oils for her and her mother to use and they would share them with friends and family. Now she shares them with all of her customers!

They have a beautiful gift basket that they offer for babies and new moms. The deluxe sensitive baby basket is filled with pure and natural products that include skin benefiting and high-end botanical ingredients for the most sensitive skin. This basket will help moms provide the best in skin care for their babies or, in my case, my 7 year old daughter. This gift basket includes:

Diaper Therapy Ointment – anti-irritant and anti-bacterial formula protects, nourishes, and cleans without petroleum or mineral oils.

Foaming Shampoo & Body Wash – tear free moisturizing body wash and shampoo cleans, soothes, and conditions from head to toe.

Lotion-to-powder – this innovative dry emollient, lotion-to-powder formula is talc and fragrance free. It works as a strong barrier against wetness without the risk of toxic inhalation.

Moisturizing Cleansing Cloths – Oil free and gentle, these cloths can be used on face, hands, and diaper area.

Susan Brown’s Baby offers many great products for moms too, including formulas for stretch marks. Click here to purchase online or to find retail locations!

Baby Monkey offers great onesies for baby and tees for children and adults, all made with organic cotton and unique designs! Baby Monkey introduces Asian culture and Feng Shui (harmonious relationship between one’s environment and nature) to a child early in life so that beneficial chi (energy) can be cultivated from the very beginning. The use of organic cotton gives further safeguard from harmful exposure that can affect health.

Baby Monkey was founded by Elizabeth Wong in 2006. After obtaining her degree in Psychology from Fairfield University, Wong followed in her mother’s footsteps and worked in the film and TV industry as a wardrobe stylist. She then found herself in front of the camera as a model and actress. When not performing, Elizabeth Wong kept herself busy by helping her mother with Feng Shui consultations and designing tee shirts for friends and family as a hobby. Wong soon realized that expecting moms appreciated her designs for being both hip and adorable but also because it made them laugh. That’s when Baby Monkey was born.

Here are some of their great designs and descriptions:

Baby Monkey –natural comedians, highly intellectual and agile. The monkey brings friendship, support and outrageous love.

Born on an Auspicious Day – auspicious means fortunate, blessed with a promising future full of success and prosperity.

Buddha Baby – symbolic of heavenly blessings, brings blessings of endless prosperity and continuous happiness.

Change My Diaper, Change My Chi – Chi is life energy. Nobody wants to sit around in bad energy. A child with a clean diaper has clean Chi and thrives in any environment.

Take baby’s temperature in a kinder, gentler way while getting a more accurate reading! I have been so excited to share this new product with you! I know how tough it is to take a young child’s temperate when they’re sick and I’m so glad that Exergen came out with the TemporalScanner infrared thermometer, which reads a temperature in just two seconds!

The Exergen TemporalScanner gauges body temperature in just two seconds by capturing the naturally emitted heat from skin over the temporal artery. Clinical studies and research have shown that this is the most accurate and least invasive way to read temperature. It’s environmentally friendly too – does not contain mercury like traditional glass bulb thermometers. The Exergen TemporalScanner is already being used in hospitals across the country and you can purchase one for home at retailers such as Walmart, Walgreens, Costco, Sam’s Club, Babies R us, and Toys R us. MSRP of less than $50.00. This is well worth the money and I believe that every home should have a TemporalScanner!

Exergen Corporation is an internationally respected innovator and leading manufacturer of an extensive line of patented infrared thermometers, scanners, sensors, and controls used in a wide variety of industrial and medical applications for professional and consumer use. The company continues to lead the way in its field by providing lower cost, highly reliable results and less invasive methods than with any other thermometry techniques. Get more information here!

Women's Health

Ladies, please read this important information! Three years ago I had a partial hysterectomy which has left me unable to have any more children. Looking back I wish there had been other options for me.

As women, and especially women who have had kids, many of us may find ourselves in a position where our OBGYN recommends a hysterectomy to solve a variety of issues around heavy periods. The frightening prospect of surgery leaves us relying on our doctors to advise the best course of action. In such a situation, however, we need to know as much information as possible to ensure we sign up for the best treatment option, and it may not be the first one your doctor recommends.

This outreach serves as an important women's health alert, informing women about their options regarding minimally invasive treatments for heavy bleeding as well as a number of other common pelvic health conditions - fibroids, stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. In fact, they are so common that one-third of women will experience one or more of these conditions in their lifetime due to a variety of factors - most commonly pregnancy and childbirth.

But treatment options exist for these conditions that do not require traditional surgery, which frequently comes with a higher risk of complications and a longer healing process. Minimally invasive procedures, done quickly and relatively easily, usually require much less time to heal, and there's a lot less pain, too. Yet many of us do not even know they exist, as we rely on information from our doctors who may suggest the outdated approaches because they lack the skill to perform the newer, less invasive ones or even because new endoscopic procedures bring less income to the doctor or hospital.

The US News & World reported that, out of the one in four women who receive hysterectomies, approximately 85% are still treated with traditional open abdominal surgical methods, despite the perfection of a decades old laparoscopic procedure that leaves the ovaries and cervix in place. Click here to read the full article.

Women need to take control of their health care decisions so they can make informed choices. We urge you to learn more from AAGL, the professional association of doctors who perform minimally invasive treatments. Their site, www.AAGL.org, provides patient education, the latest news on the minimally invasive horizon, and a physician finder for doctors in your area commited to using the least invasive methods possible. Please help us in spreading the word to the women in your life about these innovative treatments. If a doctor proves unwilling or unable to perform minimally invasive procedures, you should feel empowered to seek out a second opinion from a gynecologist who offers less invasive options.
