Brokiga, Who?

Scandinavian mum — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:58:45 +0000

Brokiga is a collection of quality products for children, inspired by the characters from the Who?- series. The line consists of clothing and furnishings, bedding and other items for the child’s room.

Stina Wirsen is in collaboration with her mother Carin Wirsen the swedish author of about 40 popular children’s books. The philosophy behind these books is that the small child should be taught skills such as counting and reading in a pleasant way, stimulating the child’s natural curiosity and will to explore. They are expressive and cute without being too cutesy. Happiness, mischievousness, frustration and anger are emotions expressed within this world.

The brand is also very environmental friendly with organic and ecologically sound production. For example the cotton products are made of organic cotton and the prints are produced in Sweden on climate compensated paper.

Brokiga is available online from Sweden at House of Hedda

Todays quote

Scandinavian mum — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 07:00:43 +0000

Amélie turned 5 years the 5th of April. Today she asked me: Mummy, how many days is it to my birthday?
Amélie dear, I replied. It’s almost a year!
She kept smiling and looking at me, thinking for a short while, before starting laughing: Mummy you’re joking!

It’s going to be a looong year for her…

The secret of Norwegian nursing mothers is out

Scandinavian mum — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 07:00:41 +0000

Dr.Lipp is an amazing multi-purpose balm especially created to relieve extra dry and chapped skin, which can help to reduce skin roughness by up to 40% in only one hour. Made from Medical Grade Lanolin, a dermatologically recommended ultra effective emollient.
Originally used by midwives to relieve dry and sensitive nipples due to breast feeding. Dr.Lipp can also be used on any dry or sensitive skin areas and is fabulous as an ultra hydrating lip gloss. Tasteless and odourless Dr.Lipp is so pure and safe -even for new born babies! 100% organic, hypoallergenic, NO PARABENS, tasteless and odourless. A pure skin essential. For fast relief apply day or night onto any dry skin areas including lips, nipples, cuticles, knuckles, elbows, knees and even split-ends.

Dr.Lipp is also reputed to help relieve eczema and make-up artists swear by it as a long lasting lip gloss. Dr.Lipp was created by luxury designer Pontine Paus who first heard about this ancient remedy in her home town in Norway where many people suffer from dry skin patches due to the long, dark and cold winters. Pontine and her friend who was head of marketing for Stella McCartney at the time launched Dr.Lipp in 2004. Since then Dr.Lipp has become a cult beauty essential and a favourite of the London Fashion Set. A precious essential in the make-up case of international make-up artists Charlotte Tilbury, Pat McGrath, Charlotte Blackeney, Sharon Dorsett, etc… It gives a glowy cheek-shine on models during photo shoots and is fabulous on top of lipstick for an extra long lasting natural gloss effect.

Who would have thought that a balm for nursing mothers could be so diverse, such a sexy product and so kissable!?

Amélie 5

Once a year we get the chance
To wish you birthday cheer.
It pleases us no end to say,
We wish you another great year.

So happy birthday to you, our dear Amélie,
From the bottom of our heart.
And may your good times multiply,
Till they’re flying off the chart!

Happy 5th Birthday, Amélie!

With love and best wishes from
mum and dad
