I'm a full-time mummy

I have been cutting down on doing product reviews towards the last quarter of year 2016 to prepare for our coming 4th kiddo who was born in early November 2016 and I am now slowly resuming doing product reviews but prioritizing those that can fit into our family dynamics (especially books on parenting or educational stuff, family products, something along those genre)

However, as busy as I am with 4 kiddos, home cooking, taking care of hubby's administration site of the business and swamped up with managing my FB page and blog, I just can't say no to reviewing products that either myself and/or my family can use, so of course I gotta give this product a try! I was told that this is the latest series from Flipper, once that uses built-in sand timer, how intriguing! 

About the company/brand:

"Flipper is a nifty toothbrush cover with a unique patented design. Through a cleverly-designed mechanism, a Flipper stores your toothbrush in an enclosed compartment and yet opens / closes automatically and conveniently. Flipper keeps your toothbrush easily and hygienically. With a properly-enclosed storage, Flipper protects your toothbrush from contamination by airborne bacteria, dust and other foreign particles that may cause oral diseases. Besides, it's simple, adorable and fun to use!"

We received 3 packs of Flipper Owl series - Smarty, Hearty and Earthy. Brilliant bright engaging colors that catches the eye. Our older 3 kiddos quickly took turns choosing their own Flipper toothbrush cover.

Now you might think what is so special with this new Flipper series? It has built-in sand timer in it! Just gently rotate the owl's eyes and you can see the bright orange sand started trickling down and once it is done, you see the owl's orange beak materialising. So cute and creative!

Did you know most dentists agree that proper brushing should take at least 2 minutes? And hence Flipper OWL is designed with a 1-minute sand timer to make our brushing fantastically fun. What you need to do is rotate the owl's eyes twice for 2 minutes.

Design wise, like I mentioned earlier, the colors are bright and eye-catching. At the back of the high-quality BPA-free owl, you can see a dual suction cups that sticks firmly to your bathroom mirror or tiles. Sideway view, I believe the tiny little gap at the wings part is in such way so that it keeps your toothbrush properly ventilated as it air dries your toothbrush bristles.

Functionality wise? Our 3.5-year-old girl still needs a bit of a practise to rotate the owl's eyes (she's quite rough, and the OCD in me had to stop her from handling the owl roughly so I ended up rotating the eyes for her) but she pretty much can stick through 1-minute of brushing time. We are still trying to get her to brush for longer period.

Pictures below shows our 5.5-years-old girl during her turn to brush teeth. She finds is entertaining to watch as the sand trickles down and she said she likes seeing the owl's beak getting its' orange-y beak haha. Also the patented one-touch mechanism makes it easier for our kiddos to take out their toothbrush and store it back.

Pictures below shows our 8-years-old boy during his turn to brush teeth. He gently rotates the owl's eyes and dutifully waited for the timer to finish before rotating the owl's eyes for another time making it total 2 minutes of teeth brushing time. He said it is fun to look at the owl while he brushes his teeth.

A cute and fun way to instil good teeth brushing habits in our kiddos. Recommended!

However, as busy as I am with 4 kiddos, home cooking, taking care of hubby's administration site of the business and swamped up with managing my FB page and blog, I just can't say no to reviewing products that either myself and/or my family can use, what more a world-known product which I had reviewed 2 years ago! 

About the product:

"Jordan is an award winning oral care brand since 1927. Having awarded the prestigious global Red Dot Design award, Jordan is one of the oldest oral and dental hygiene brands in the world. It designs and produces toothbrushes for the whole family, giving them clean, healthy and beautiful teeth. The company also offer a high-quality range of products for cleaning between the teeth, from dental floss to different sizes of interdental brushes."

Like my previous review experience with Jordan, they generously sent me a range of oral care products for my family (young and not so young hahaha...) to try.

Our littlest family member has just turned 6 months old a few days ago and has only been sprouting 1 small little dot of tooth on his front gum, I have yet to introduce any oral care products to our baby yet.

So, I will proceed to share my review on the Step 2 range of products, which are meant for kiddos aged between 3 to 5 years old. This round, our 3.5-year-old princess upgraded her toothbrush for Step 1 to Step 2 products and she chose the purple neon blue color toothbrush and proceeded to squeeze on a pea sized toothpaste onto her new colorful toothbrush!

FYI, the Step 2 toothbrush is specially designed to clean milk teeth in children around the ages of 3 to 5 years old. I like that the toothbrush has an ergonomic handle, easy for small hand grip and I personally like the colorful funky colors really! I don't hear any complaints or fuss from our little fussy princess so I guess this is approved! Hahaha!

Next up is the Step 3 range of toothbrushes which our older 2 kiddos are using. FYI, the Step 3 toothbrush is designed to meet the challenging oral needs of 6 to 9-year-old children. The challenge at this age is that, with both milk and permanent teeth, the positioning of the teeth may be uneven. The quality and placement of the bristles and head become even more important - hence you can see there are 2 bristle heads on the toothbrush where the integrated ‘solo brush’ reaches molars and hard-to-reach spaces between the teeth and gums ensuring that no teeth or surfaces need be forgotten.

Our first kiddo is 8 years old now and will still be using the Step 3 toothbrush for this review. He chose the colors he wanted and off he goes to brush his teeth like normal. He still has quite a few milk teeth and already growing some permanent teeth, so I really appreciate that he can still use the Step 3 toothbrush at this stage.

Our 2nd kiddo who will be 6 years old in this coming September has yet to experience any tooth loss but I'm prepping her up to use the Step 3 toothbrush. She was a bit sad to have to stop using her Step 2 toothbrush though. I feel now that she is using the Step 3 toothbrush, her grip is firmer and the way she brushes her teeth is steadier.

Both the Step 2 and Step 3 range of toothbrushes came with the travel cap which I really appreciate a lot! It helps to protect and keep their toothbrushes clean whenever we go for traveling.

Next up, both hubby and myself tried the Slim range of toothbrushes. It has 0.01mm ultra soft bristles which are gentle on your gums and yet, delivers a deep clean for both teeth and gum. I felt like the toothbrush is hugging my gum, cradling it softly and warmly! In fact, it is much better than my previous Target Sensitive range of Jordan toothbrush. I have no issues with the toothbrush, I can actually feel the bristle sinking in deep to clean and yet gently caressing my teeth and gums at the same time. I do feel that the toothbrush handle is a bit slippery sometimes.

This round, we got to try out a new product, which is the Easy Clean Flosser! I tried it on our kiddos and they were amazed to see there are still some remnants that can be flossed out even after they have brushed their teeth! Compared to the traditional string floss, I personally prefer this as I just love the ergonomic handle with soft rubber which allows for better grip especially when small hands are holding it and trying to floss their own teeth themselves. The Easy Clean Flosser comes with 1 handle and 20 fluoride coated thread refills.

Overall feedback, I'm very happy we get to review these products AGAIN!

With a brand name that is celebrating its 180th anniversary this year, Jordan oral care products are definitely worth the long run for our whole family!

The new range is available from all leading retail outlets.

About the company/products:

"Four Cow Farm is a real farm nestled in the hills of the Blackhall Range in South-East Queensland. Today, Four Cow Farm is a 25 acre (11.25 ha) hobby farm but it was originally part of a much larger dairy farm. The Four Cow Farm range was started by a Midwife, Mum & Grandmother (with hundreds of deliveries to her credit) who wanted to make creams and balms that were as good and natural as possible for her two little grandchildren (one of whom had eczema). Using time-tested recipes and traditional ingredients, Nanna’s labour of love began as a gift to her two little ones.

Nanna’s range of simple, honest, hand-worked and time-tested recipes are made with only the very best all-natural ingredients, sourced from suppliers Nanna knows and trusts herself. They are made from Nanna’s own hand-crafted recipes, without the complex mix of unnecessary fragrances and chemicals so common today, and with absolutely no artificial additives or chemical hazards whatsoever.

Today, the whole family is involved in helping to make and share Nanna’s products with mums, dads and bubs all over the world. We hope that you and your family enjoy using our products as much as we enjoyed making them!"

I received the following products for my review: Mother’s All-Natural Daily Rich Cream Salve, Mother’s All-Natural Intensive Restorative Oil and Mother’s All-Natural Castile Hair & Body Wash. Let's check out my review for each of the products in more details okay?

Mother’s All-Natural Daily Rich Cream Salve

The Mother’s All-Natural Daily Rich Cream Salve is a restorative blend of the finest organic oils and extracts for soothing and caring for sensitive, stressed or stretching skins. When I read this description, the first thing that came to my mind is 'I've gotta put this all over my body right awayyyyy!!' Yes, as a mother of 4 kiddos under 9 years, I am stressed and all stretched out LOL!! So anyway, I gently squeezed up a pea-sized cream onto my palm and then carefully slather it onto my legs and hands. I did so dutifully for about 2 weeks. To be honest, I don't enjoy the cream smell initially but after a while, I guess I'm used to it already.

Now how do I know whether this cream works? On the second week of applying this cream, I went for my regular body massage session and the first thing my masseur lady told me as she started massaging my legs was 'You know when you go for regular massage, it shows in your skin! I noticed your skin is firmer now!' In my mind, I was thinking, "Hey, the cream has got something to do with this too!" I love this cream, so much that I applied it to my 6 months old baby's skin whenever I noticed some dryness on his skin.

Mother’s All-Natural Intensive Restorative Oil

The Mother’s All-Natural Intensive Restorative Oil is a fortified blend of the finest restorative organic oils meant for boosting the care of sensitive, stressed or stretching skins. In other words, in mummy-speak from what I understand, after you apply the Mother’s All-Natural Daily Rich Cream Salve, you can boost it more by applying the Intensive Restorative Oil.

I don't often apply the oil though as the cream itself is doing an awesome job of refreshing and restoring my stressed dried up skin haha... FYI, the enhanced oil contains skin-moisturising benefits which enhance the retention of moisture in the skin, and help restore suppleness and elasticity.   

 
Mother’s All-Natural Castile Hair & Body Wash

Last but not least, the Mother’s All-Natural Castile Hair & Body Wash is excellent for mothers and mothers-to-be, and particularly on any skin experiencing tension, strain or stress, this special formulation is a gentle and nourishing daily all-over hair, face and body wash that’s rich, protective and moisturising. From my understanding, this means you can use this on your hair as well as your body. 

This product is gentle enough to be used on normal hair without the need for conditioners. Just wet your hair and skin thoroughly then place a small amount on a sponge or your palm, apply gently, stroking into skin and avoiding contact with eyes. Then rinse off and enjoy your smooth supple skin! The first time I applied this, I can immediately feel the oil leaving my hair after rinsing off. I tend to have oily hair after a sweaty outing and a hairwash session using the Mother’s All-Natural Castile Hair & Body Wash totally clears up the oily feel on my hair!

In summary, a wonderful range of organic products that I have been given the privilege to try out!
