Thank you Nivea for making beach days easier with my kids!

Published by

Life’s a beach! Or how I would love it to be so! I love the beach, Mr B loves the beach, and to say that the kids love the beach, well that’s a bit of an understatement! However, the protective side of a day at the beach, yeah, they’re not so keen on that. You know that mum that is always running across the sand, trying to catch her kids, shouting “Get back here, you need more sunscreen!” That’s me! And those kids making a run for it, not wanting to be covered in sticky, white goo? You guessed it, my two rugrats. Turns out, Nivea has me covered. Anything that glides on like one, two, three makes my kids happy. and when the kids are happy, the parents have it a lot easier as well. The iconic blue bottles of Nivea sunscreenhave been a constant presence on almost each and every holiday I’ve ever been on in my life, and this summer, they have tweaked and improved their offerings a bit. First up, the …

Winter essentials – Body Care

Published by

Even tough temperatures aren’t as winter-y as they should be, I’m still indulging in a winter routine as if the outside temperatures are below arctic levels. It may not be freezing, but somehow my skin seems to think it does, and has turned into large sheets of sandpaper *winter skin alert*. Time to bust out the anti-winter guns! Nothing beats the winter blues like a good shower (not too long, not too hot unfortunately…), and when you say shower, you say Nivea! Like a big, fluffy, comforting hug made of soap, the Nivea Care & Cocoa is sheer indulgence for my skin (without the fancy price tag). A pure shot of shea butter, with a soft, subtile scent to match. Under the motto: “If it’s good enough for my children, it’s definitely good for me!” the Uriage Cleansing Protection Oil is a relatively new addition to the shower shelf, but one with an impact. One of the few products that works for both mine and Little Miss C’s diva skin, this one got bumped to …

Firming up with Nivea

Published by

Just as nearly any woman, I have my hang ups about my body, these little things that seem to bother no one else but that make me feel insecure and self-conscious. Fight the flab is a daily struggle of mine (not a size 6 here!), and any product that can help me with that is a friend of mine! Nivea is one of those brands that I can remember using since forever. My mum used it on  herself, my sister, me, my dad sneakily stole our jars when he had a skin-issue, my nan proudly displayed her blue jar in her bathroom… I could write an entire book on my whole family being Nivea addicts. So who better to turn to when fruit and fitness aren’t enough to make that pesky cellulite I have going on disappear! Will the Nivea Q10 Good-Bye Cellulite Firming Shower Gel* magically zap away all that wibbly bobbly skin? And all that in a multifunctional shower gel? Fingers crossed! Main flab fighters of the shower gel are L-Carnitine, Lotus-extract and Nivea’s famous Q10. …
