It is always great to hear about the good that people are doing in our communities, and others in need.

Neutrogena® Brand Ambassadors Gabrielle Union and Sandra Echeverría Donate Hundreds of Sunscreens to South Florida families

"Melanoma is the most common form of cancer for ages 25-29. Properly protecting children and teaching healthy sun habits is key. Skin cancer can affect anyone, regardless of skin color. Together with Neutrogena®, I'm spreading the word to everyone I know that skin cancer is a real issue and one that can be prevented with simple steps like wearing sunscreen and doing regular skin checks," said Gabrielle.

"Sun education is everything to Neutrogena®, and that means emphasizing sun protection no matter the season. Despite a high level of awareness that sun exposure, especially childhood sunburns, increases skin cancer risk later in life, many people are still not using daily sun protection," said Sandra.

A total of 280 suncare kits were donated to South Florida families, including a variety of sunscreens for the entire family, visors and water bottles. The event helped to raise awareness about the need to protect children from an early age and ensure everyone has access to the sun protection products they need.

As Brand Ambassadors Gabrielle Union and Sandra Echeverría said, Neutrogena® hopes that with continued education and more availability of sun protection products, fewer people have to face skin cancer.

JOHNSON’S® Baby Promesa

***Disclosure-Informational post only.

JOHNSON'S® Baby ha puesto en marcha una nueva campaña de Your Promise is Our Promise, para ilustrar su compromiso sincero de la marca hacia las mamás, ya que sus nuevos productos reformulados están llegando a los estantes. Las mamás les hacen promesas a sus hijos y como marca, JOHNSON'S® Baby también hace promesas para que las madres no tengan que preocuparse de los productos que utilizan en sus pequeños. 

 JOHNSON'S® Baby creó una historia en video "Our Promise" como una carta abierta para las mamás.  Basado en una leyenda Japonesa en cual el acto de hacer 1,000  grullas de origami resulta en un deseo concedido y una promesacumplida, nuestros científicos y sus familias se unieron para construir un móvil de origami en forma de una cigüeña, para demostrarle a mamá que su promesa también es nuestra promesa.

Cambiar sus productos era fue una obra de amor dedicada a las mamás y sus bebés. Utilizaron las cigüeñas en su video, ya que representan la maravillosa labor de dar a luz a los bebes, y las esperanzas y promesas de las familias.

JOHNSON'S® Baby quiere que los consumidores tengan tranquilidad total al utilizar sus productos, por lo que tomaron un papel de liderazgo en la eliminación de ciertos ingredientes de sus productos para bebés a pesar de que siempre han sido seguros de utilizar.

Baby's First Book Blocks Review

Disclosure-Sample product was received for review.  All opinions stated are my own.

My daughter loves books.  She always has.  I like finding learning products that help our kids learn.  Recently I was looking for gifts for a couple of friends who will be first time mamis, and was introduced to Baby’s First Book Blocks. 

It is a series of mini board books designed to entice infants to focus and develop their visual acuity. Featuring high-contrast colors, eye-catching shapes, and colorful patterns, these chunky little books also incorporate the latest scientific research about vision development, making for the perfect introductory baby books.

Book 1: Black and White—simple but interesting shapes moving into more complex shapes and patterns
Book 2: Red, Blue, and Yellow—introduces primary colors and slightly more complex shapes, moving into real patterns with multiple colors
Book 3: Color and Pattern—secondary colors and more complex patterns
Book 4: Visual Excitement—subtle shades and complicated patterns 

Studies show that during the first year of life, babies’ visual skills develop dramatically. A month-old infant will prefer sharply defined, black-and-white edges and patterns, while by 4 months of age, most babies can distinguish even subtle shades and respond to repeating patterns.

These blocks are a perfect gift for an expectant mami so they can start the interaction from day one.  They can explore, examine, and help develop their babies visual skills.  And can continue using this even when they are older.  I like all the different colors, and patterns.  My daughter really liked stacking them, describing what she saw, and it was a fun game she keeps playing with us everyday.
