Here at Aussie Product Review we were very excited to receive these great products by Oopsie. Their product range includes a bottle bag, lunch bag and a multipurpose bag all of which come in both their unique modern fabric designs, red scooter or their beautiful blue birds. Our review demonstrated to us that Oopsie’s products shouldn’t just be considered as baby accessories because they are practical for anyone in the family to take to work or Uni.
We had one Mum test and review the red scooter items we received, which were the bottle bag and multipurpose bag. She decided the single bottle carrier was one of the most useful baby accessories she had been missing out on! Perfectly sized to fit a baby bottle (keeping it cool or warm) or even a 600ml bottle of water for a toddler or a mum on the go. The attached D-ring made it easy to remember the bottle carrier, as you can attach it to the inside of your handbag, nappy bag or even the side of the pram for easy access. The bottle bag is a fantastically useful product for all!

Homepeel
The process involves mixing the special mixture of green herbs which includes White Willow Bark (salicylic acid) and lotion then rubbing this gently over the face and leaving it for a short amount of time, that's it! So easy.
After using the peel as directed in the step by step instructions I noticed my skin was flushed and tingling but didn't experience any discomfort at all. The redness stayed for a few hours and my skin began feeling a little tight. Then progressively over the follow few days the skin began to dry slightly and by the fourth day, gently flake off revealing smooth, fresh skin underneath! Within seven days I had lovely, smooth and radiant skin so I was very impressed.
For a fraction of the cost of getting a 'professional' peel done I have the same result at home, with no fuss.
This is a great little product, well worth the money and it gives excellent results.
The peel can be used for
Homepeel also have a selection of great complimentary products for the skin so you can purchase top-ups or individual items without having to buy the whole kit again. All are very reasonably priced and the Green Herb Skin Peel kit itself contains up to 10 peels so it's well worth the money!
The Green Herb Skin Peel is priced at $149.95 and can be purchased online through the Homepeel website at www.homepeel.com.au You can also find plenty of information about the peel on their website and they have many happy customers stories to read and a full ingredient list.
Bellybean Maternity Pillow
This item is a must for any new mother! What is it, you ask?.....
Well, the Post Pregnancy Belly Wrap by the clever Vespa and the Ladybird is an abdominal compression binder which helps you get your body back into it's pre pregnancy shape. Wearing the Post Pregnancy Belly Wrap straight after giving birth helps reduce the swelling and encourages muscle and tissue to move back into their original positions quicker. It encourages your body to recover and heal faster after giving birth.
All the Hollywood stars use them after giving birth! Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba and Halle Berry just to name a few. They are great after a Caesarean section and support the whole midriff and lower back area with ease.
The belly band is used by centering it on the back and then pulling the edges around to the front and then fastening the velcro tightly, but comfortably. The belly wrap is tag-less, seamless and comfortable to wear.
While wearing the belly wrap our reviewer found it to be very supportive, particularly on the lower back and it also helped to remind her to flex her abdominal muscles. You can wear it under your clothes and even while sleeping. The belly wrap is made with lyrca so it has enough 'give' in it so you can move around comfortably yet it is still firm enough to do it's supporting job extremely well. "Very flexible even when I was doing the housework!" commented our reviewer.
We were all very impressed by Vespa and the Ladybird's Post Pregnancy Belly Wrap. A terrific idea that women have been using for centuries in one form or another and now you can easily have your own by visitingwww.vespaandtheladybird.com.au
They only cost $49.95 and postage is only $5.00! Know of anyone about to have a baby of their own? Then this would make a great gift along with a cute little something!

The beautiful Tarj Mavi, creator of La Mav Organic Science generously sent us a selection of her new skincare products to trial and review. Three of our reviewers, each with a sightly different skin type and one being 6 months pregnant, each chose the products to suit them and then used their selections for three weeks, recording the results they noticed in their skin.
All three reviewers noticed a slight change in their skin between 7 - 10 days and then a significant improvement in the skin after the 3 weeks had concluded.
"La Mav's products surprised me as my skin really improved using them" was one comment. The products are packaged well to reduce any contamination and using the products together might contribute to their overall effectiveness. "I'd recommend using a selection of their products to get the best results" says one reviewer. The products are totally safe to use when pregnant which is a real bonus! Overall, all the reviewers gave a positive response of the products and the results they achieved. Very impressive!
'I Hate Cinderella'
Who hasn’t had their heart broken?
What a fantastic journey ‘I hate Cinderella’ takes you on. Whilst reading this book you can’t help but intertwine your own memories of past relationships and feelings and then be so inspired to use the experience in a positive way....
The book takes you on a journey through part of Lucy Summer's life. It is a time of transition for Lucy as she takes her own journey working through a relationship break-up. As she starts to work through her feelings of her broken heart, you can’t help but reflect on your own experiences and understand the pain and heartache Lucy is dealing with.
At a point in ‘I hate Cinderella’ everything changes for Lucy. She looks at the world, her life and herself in a positive light. She learns to shift her inner-energy positively and attract great things into her life. This is not just a lesson for Lucy but anyone who reads this great book. In the last few chapters you start to feel empowered and motivated and this might just be enough for you to refresh your ideas and goals in life. I even took a moment after reading this book to write down what I was grateful for and what else I would love out of life. Ask, Believe and Receive, such powerful words!
I would have loved to have this book during the time of a break-up. It would have given me a fresh new look at the world rather than looking out through my misty eyes! 'I hate Cinderella' was a great read and I definitely got more out of this book that I expected!
We had to put ‘Orange Blossom’ through its paces of course and what a better workout than by taking it shopping! I stuffed it full of goodies and used and abused it for a week and then another reviewer did the same and ‘Orange Blossom’ took it all in her stride. The stitching held up and I even gave her a clean up when I’d finished with a warm water spot clean and she came up good as new. Honestly I’ve paid a lot for bags over the years and have occasionally been disappointed in the quality for the price but have to say Ella & Jaks have made a great quality product at a very reasonable price.

Sparks & Frankie's UndetectaBELT
After trialling the undetectaBELT, we are all fans. Our pregnant reviewer was happy to wear the undetectaBELT as pictured below to keep her pants up as she can longer do up the buttons on her jeans! With a long t-shirt over the top we had no idea she didn’t have her pants done up and she loved not having to continuously pull up her jeans. On the other hand we have another reviewer who has lost weight and is continuing to do so and she loved the undetectaBELT as she can continue to wear her current clothes while losing weight. The belt will buy her time to lose the rest of her weight and not have to buy clothes for that in between period. The belt is fully adjustable from size 6 to 18. A great accessory for anyone losing weight.
As the belt can be adjusted to your size and is non-detected it is a great investment and asset to any wardrobe. The undetectaBELT has solved many common fashion problems in the one item. There is no more reason to flash undies, have buckle bulges, complain about back gaps, etc. We can all be comfortable without the fashion blunders!
sassisam
Sassi Sam is a very 'girlie' website with lots of great gift ideas and plenty of little indulgences that every girl must have!
Sam Winter, creator of Sassi Sam noticed she was always encouraging her girlfriends to embrace their 'girliness'. She'd always be the one to talk fashion and trends and decided to build a business around it. With 'fun' the driving force, Sassi Sam soon came to life.
We were lucky enough to be sent one of her handbag hangers and what a sassi idea it is!
How do you store such pretty items without the risk of crushing and misplacement? Better yet, how can you turn a storage system into a chic, stylish and convenient display? Well that's easy - with Sassi Sam's Handbag Hangers!
Every girl has an array of handbags that inevitably end up squashed into the wardrobe or drawer somewhere. Sassi Sam's Handbag Hanger takes care of this problem, stylishly and without taking up a lot of space.
The hangers will hold seven handbags that comfortatbly fit in snap holds and have a large eyelet for hanging on a coathanger or the back of the door. Measuring 96cm in length and only 11cm wide they will fit into areas that would otherwise be unused!
As you can see we were very impressed with these hangers and would highly recommend them as part of an oranised wardrobe and definately as a present for one of your girlie friends!
They are practical and pretty, keeping your bags off the floor so they are kept clean and retain their shape.
Sassi Sam's Handbag Hangers come in two distinct design choices, 'Pink Passion Dandy' and 'Retro Boho Blossom' and they are priced at an even $40.00. These hangers instantly made us think of an easy to post gift for any aged woman! They could also store scarves, necklaces and belts so they are very versatile in their uses.
