a green detergent for babies

6 Comments

I was doing my son’s laundry one time + it sort of sparked the inspiration for this post, why not write about my baby’s detergent, it is 100% natural, anyway, a perfect green idea!, goes my thought bubble + so to give in, here’s that post.

I have been using Cycles baby detergent since Jared is a few months old (i began washing his laundry with Perla, but i don’t like the scent of it much + the way it clings to my son after several hours of wearing his tiny tiesides + shorts, so I looked for a better alternative). Lucky I stumbled upon this eco-friendly laundry detergent in one of the issues of Smart Parenting + have been using it since then.

Cycles contains no harsh chemicals or irritants like bleach, dyes or optical brighteners that can harm my baby’s sensitive skin. It does not leave soap residue + is specifically made for babies’ delicate skin. It comes in liquid + powder form too.

I’ve also found this nice message under my Cycle’s packaging:

music monday: adolescents {a new single by incubus}

5 Comments

My Music Monday entries just found a new home here to give way to more mum-jared related posts or blog memes on jared’s little corner.

Well, you would’ve guessed by now that I am an Incubus-crazed mum (way too obvious, ayt?) + it does felt like going back to my adolescent days when, upon checking my e-mails, I found this exciting news from the Incubus World Headquarters that a new song is recently released (on 04 April, to be exact) + an the best bit of news followed: Incubus is going to the Philippines on 28 July for another rockin’ concert at the Big Dome. Can’t wait for that, although, unlike with the other 2 concerts they’ve had before (first at the CCP Open Grounds in 2004 + at the Araneta Coliseum in March 2008), where I had front row seats, I guess I’ll be settling with just watching from the upper box this time around. Why? Simply because I can’t shell out that much moolah since me baby boy will be celebrating his 2nd birthday in August. I’d be delighted to watch the band from afar it if means having a memorable, yet simple birthday celebration for my little one! You know, putting priorities first! šŸ˜‰

So as the excitement builds up as we Incu-nutters await the coming of our demi-god come July, allow me some adolescents moment as I relieved + celebrate my incuself!

Hope you enjoy this song, which, by the way, still has to grow on me!
