We are here to help promote Australian businesses and their wonderful products. No matter how small or large your Aussie business/venture is we will happily review your products and post your review on our website and blog and also promote you throughout the web.  The beautiful Vanessa from Kidz Tea
is the mum of two gorgeous little girls. She says" In my own love for
sitting down to a nice cup of tea and feeling the great benefits of it,
my eldest daughter Alira took an interest in having a cup of tea with
me and loves feeling like a 'big girl' when having a cuppa with mummy."
And that's how Kidz Tea was born! The
smell of these gorgeous teas hit us immediately on arrival - a
beautiful, fresh aroma of berries! We couldn't wait to review them. Oh,
we know they are teas for kids and the kids loved them but they were
just as popular with the adults! Vanessa also explains that "Throughout
the different teas there are some amazing health benefits to children
and what a great alternative to cordial and heavily sugared fruit
juices. Kidz Tea can be
delicious warm on a cold wintery morning or refreshing as a cold drink
on a hot summers day. A great little treat also is to mix it with
gelatine and make a 'healthy' jelly desert." How right she is - the kids
accepted the teas readily and we tried them on warm and cold versions,
both went down without a fight! The smell of the teas really attracted
the kids firstly but they sipped and drank them to the very end and
loved them. You can't get a better endorsement than that from children.   The teas come beautifully packaged
with delightful names like 'Andy Apple', Ricky Raspberry', 'Penny
Peach' and my personal favourite 'Tina Colada'! Explainantion cards are
attached so you know what's in the teas and how to prepare them. You can
even buy a party pack for that special tea party! We had a great time reviewing
these teas with our little reviewers and would recommend you take a look
at their website where you can order the teas directly. Find them at www.kidztea.com.au You'll love it!
Liselle Mineral Makeup
When a business starts from a real need you know it’s got the heart and soul of an Aussie behind it! That’s what Liselle Mineral Makeup
has, Liz Pohlmann struggles with the autoimmune disease called
Scleroderma and also Lupis. Her skin was suffering so she developed a
range of mineral makeup to solve her beauty problem – Fantastic! We reviewed the Liselle Mineral Makeup range
on three of our reviewers over three weeks of daily use and the results
were outstanding. Two reviewers currently use mineral makeup and both
reported better coverage and a lighter, more natural look of the skin
when applied. The third reviewer had not used mineral makeup before and
after following the easy to follow instructions is now converted. "I
can't believe the softness and natural look that resulted" she said. The
Supersoft Kabuki Brush made applying the makeup effortless and did not
irritate the skin at all. All three reviewers gave this product ten out
of ten! The coverage also lasted all day without having to reapply, in fact the coverage looked better as the day went on! Liselle Mineral Makeup has an exclusive, all natural mineral foundation formula with a certified SPF rating of 25. The unique formula is unlike anything currently on the Australian market and the natural ingredients have been chosen for their soothing, healing, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Our
all natural, vegan and cruelty free range will also include other makeup
products with gorgeous eyeshadows, luscious lip glosses and more in
development. We want to make sure we are catering to our customers so
we'll be asking them what they want to see added to our range next! Liselle Mineral Makeup is:
 Sarah, the founder of Saponify
had been suffering from dry skin and extreme eczema for years and after
realizing her skin only responded well to natural products she
developed her range of beautiful soaps. We have been lucky enough to review a range of Saponify’s beautiful products; bath salts, soaps and baby bath tea bags. The first thing we noticed about these products was the lovely aroma the minute we opened the package. We tried three different scented soaps, all of which were beautiful! (My personal favourite was the vanilla bean.) These soaps created a fluffy lather and left your skin moisturised and as soft as satin.   Baby bath tea bags are something I had never heard of before so I was looking forward to reviewing this item. The tea bag has been filled with a combination of dried flowers, once steeped in the bath water for five minutes it creates a relaxing and therapeutic bath for the bub. My little one loved it and he was asleep within five minutes of getting out, so these tea bags are just as therapeutic for mum and dad too! We were extremely impressed with Saponify’s products. They all were divine and left us feeling exquisite. Saponify has a great online store that carries a range of products which are all lovingly handmade. It’s a great place to purchase gifts or something to indulge yourself. Find these beautiful products at http://www.saponify.com.au/
 We were delighted to review these very special slippers from SunShadow Slippers who are based at Mullumbimby, NSW. Here’s a little about them: For those of you who are
not familiar with the Steiner philosophy you may not be aware of the
importance of daily rhythms within this system. Children are encouraged
with regular activities to enjoy the rhythms of life and to feel in
touch with the changes in seasons and weather. As
part of this they create certain the distinction between outside play
and indoor time by the changing of shoes. Wearing soft, nurturing shoes
indoors helps us to feel warm and cosy and can help to stop those
chills. The Sunshadow
range was designed specifically for that purpose, using natural fibres,
which allow the feet to ‘breath’ and can be happily worn in warmer or
cooler weather. Each
pair of slippers is uniquely created to be just as individual as you
are, the dye is low toxic and sun reactive which means the process is
very weather reliant, good job we have plenty of sunshine here! The
motifs are from nature, butterflies and dragonflies, frogs and possums,
dolphins and turtles – no corporate brand names here.  Pure Cotton Lycra is hand painted with cute designs and left in the warmth of the sun to dry. Then the material is hand cut and sewn into the softest suede leather soles. Tucked inside to ensure baby's toes are warm and 'snuggley' is an insole of the purest wool felt. These shoes are a funky
design with traditional craftmanship. They are comfortable and really
stay on - they are even washable incase of those little accidents. We reviewed two lovely
pairs of slippers and the younger child, which we thought might pull
them off at any chance, did not! He was even fascinated by the colour
and print on the slippers. Our older reviewer commented on how comfy
they were and loved the colour too! They were worn constantly inside
over the last six cold weeks of winter and they kept these feet warm and
comfortable. We highly recommend SunShadow Slippers for anyone who loves to feel comfort! For more information you can check out their blog at www.sunshadowslippers.blogspot.com
 Introducing
Michele Blanshard, she is a mother of two, a Registered Nurse and
Director of Rose and Lily Australia but she also is the inventor of the
Baby-Head-Rest. 1 in 10 newborn babies in Australia today will be affected by Plagiocephaly, or Flat-Head Syndrome. This is a very serious condition where your baby gets a flat or mis-shapened head due to prolonged pressure from firm surfaces. As I’m sure you’re aware, babies spend most of their time on their backs or side which puts them at high risk of developing this condition. The Baby-Head-Rest is designed is combat this problem of flat-head syndrome.  The Baby-Head-Rest is a soft memory foam pillow with a very soft cotton cover. It is contoured to fit the shape of a baby’s head and neck. When we trialled the product on our little baby of 11 weeks we found it to be great. It lifted his head enough that he was still comfortable and it took the pressure off his skull which helps to prevent the risk of plagiocephaly. We found it was a great addition to use while playing on the play mat and while he was in the pram. After reviewing this product I would recommend that all new mothers invest in the Baby-Head-Rest. Flat-head syndrome is a serious condition that can possibly delay development of the child. The baby-head-rest is an inexpensive prevention of this and it creates great piece of mind for me as the mother!  The Baby-Head-Rest was produced by Michele but designed in conjunction with other health-care professionals. It treats and prevents Flat-Head Syndrome in newborns up to 4 months. For more information on this extremely great product, visit www.babyheadrest.com. Michele also has an online store, Rose and Lily, www.roseandlily.com.au which also has a great range of other products.
 Kim Baker, the owner of Belly Bumps to Baby Hugs
kindly sent us one of her very practical Nappy Wallets to review. Kim
started selling her baby slings, another of her great products, at the
local markets and has gradually built up her small business by stocking
other baby essential items. Our reviewer took this
wallet out with her and her baby constantly for over two weeks and found
it a great alternative to carrying a huge nappy bag out when all she
really needed was the wallet! “When
I was just nipping out to the shops or the doctor it was much more
practical to take the Nappy Wallet than a huge bag, it was very
convenient.”  The Nappy Wallet by BellyBumpstoBabyHugs
holds 4 disposable nappies, a packet of travel wipes and has enough
room for nappy rash cream and other small items. There is a pocket on
the back of the wallet that also can hold more items. The Nappy Wallet
also has two ribbon tags at the bottom, which can attach to keys or the
dummy! The whole wallet can then be hung off the stroller with a
convenient strap. "It stood up to the rigors of daily outings very well"
commented our reviewer.  Priced at only
$25.00 this is a handy accessory for any new mother and you’ll be
surprised at just how many times you’ll be grabbing the Nappy Wallet
instead of that huge nappy bag you carry around! For more information and a host of baby products visit Belly Bumps to Baby Hugs at their online store or contact them at kimbaker@bellybumptobabyhugs.com.au

The solution for dribblers! Rather than just
keeping your baby or toddler dry all day, bandana bibs become part of
their outfit a must have accessory. Lima bean's bandana bibs have an absorbent top layer and a layer of fleece underneath to draw moisture away from the skin. Lima Bean sent us an ultra fashionable bandana bib and an extremely practical ChangeMate change mat, both these items were road tested by our little reviewer (and his Mum). We all loved the bandana bib! It looks more like a fashion accessory than a practical baby item. Designed with the hardcore dribbler in mind, this bandana bib has an absorbent fashionable fabric layer on the top and then a bottom layer of fleece to draw away the moisture from the chest. Best of all, the bandana bib can complement your baby’s outfit rather than covering it all up. This is such a great item for teething time; change the accessory not the outfit! The bandana bib clips together at the back and is fully machine washable and they are designed and made in Australia.  The ChangeMate change mat is a must have in all nappy bags, actually it is a nifty little item to carry alone or attach to the pram. This great little wallet folds out to a water resistant change mat with mesh pockets for nappies and a case of travel sized baby wipes. The ChangeMate change mat means you will never be caught out again! It has a pattern fabric front which comes in a range of great choices and behind this is a zip pocket which is perfect for keys or some emergency snacks. We thought these products by lima bean were great. They are of very high quality, are so practical for any parent and are a great price. The ChangeMate’s are $34.95 and the
bandana bibs are $13.95 for a single and $25.95 for a twin pack. Lima Bean have heaps of stockists around
Australia so keep an eye out for this great Aussie product. If you'd like to stock some of Lima Bean's
products then please contact Rachel or Emma at info@limabean.com.au
