Aubrey Organics - Men's Stock Natural Dry Herbal Pine Deodorant

You see, I'm always into organic. If that organic product is within my budget, of course I will choose organic. Less chemical equals to less harm. Since my hub is a heavy deodorant user, I actually banned him from using anti-perspiration deodorant, which has a lot of chemicals which lead to a number of side effects.

I looked around in Iherb for organic/natural deodorant for men. I found this. I read a lot of good reviews about this Aubrey men's stock. And I decided to try one bottle. Oh well, we came back for more! I purchased another two bottles from Iherb! =D

 
In Iherb, it only costs $7.44 and after conversion, about RM26. If I purchase this locally, the price is RM70. What a big difference. And that's why I love shopping in Iherb, especially organic products. I save a lot!

What I like about this deodorant:
1) 100% Natural
2) Vegan
3) Against animal cruelty / No animal testing
4) Without harsh chemicals/ingredients
5) Smells good and natural - you do not have to use perfume if you're using this
6) Contents Biodegradable

The most important is it's natural. Since my hubby uses deodorant everyday, it is important to purchase an organic one or at least, a natural deodorant. He has been using this for almost 1 month, and recently, I purchased two more for him. He loves it. The pine smell is absolutely breathtaking. It smells so natural and well, he can even use this as a perfume. (Oh yeah, the smell is a little too strong if you dislike strong woods' smell) The smell alone is already so good that you do not need to top up with perfume. The smell lasts up the entire day. And I do read reviews that this spray deodorant does not cause any yellowish stain on the shirt. So, it's already a bonus point.

So, we've discarded all the artificial/chemical deodorant that he has been using all this while. The smell of those anti-perspiration makes me dizzy and I actually told my hubby to stop using. I couldn't stand that artificial chemical smell. So smelly! Unlike this natural herbal deodorant, I love it. It's so natural, and doesn't make my nose burnt. =D

Note : This is my personal review, I didn't get any benefits from reviewing it here. But, my main intention is to share this good product to you. A natural good product. Safe to use and nice to use. =)

Shopping in USA from Malaysia - IHERB *again*

Will I ever get bored of shopping in Iherb? Definitely no. Ever since the baby boy started solid, I've been browsing high and low to search for the suitable organic baby cereals. Unfortunately, most of them that I wanted to buy run out of stock. This time round, I purchased a number of varieties, different brands of organic cereals for the baby. I notice that he's going to be a picky eater (keeping my fingers crossed) and hopefully he loves those cereals that I purchased for him.


I saved a lot by purchasing from Iherb instead of getting them in the local supermarket. And not to forget, some snacks and vitamin C for the big sister.

Honestly, shopping in Iherb is so convenient, and so cheap. Shipping is affordable as well (Approx 5.3kg for $14.48) Opt for DHL instead of the normal international airmail. At least you get a peace of mind and most importantly, it's reliable. If you are able to get a few friends to share the postage with you, then you save more!

If you're first timer shopping in Iherb, good news for you!

Daniel - 6 Months

Daddy and Mommy and Big Sister's Little Champ is now SIX months old. Indeed time waits for no man. I've said this countless times because this is so true. I closed my eyes, woke up the next day and he's Six months. Oh boy, the next time I blink my eyes, he's going to kindergarten. And I will definitely miss all the baby fats, the baby snuggles, the baby coos, everything about babies.


Baby Stats:
 --------------------------
  
Sleep
You are getting more and more active and it's a bit tough to put you to sleep especially in the afternoon nap. You cried buckets when you wanted to sleep, and you cried in between of sleep and you cried when you wake up from sleep. Pheewww... It's tough, and your mama hope that this is just a season that when you grow older, you will be a happy sleeper. =D But, you have no problem sleeping at night.

Feed
Still breastfeeding and going strong! Stocks are building up in the freezer and your sister will have a taste of them. Still drinking 5oz of milk. And yes, we've started your first taste on solid. On the first day of solid food, you cried buckets. You dislike the taste of solid, you hate it when you see the spoon moving towards your mouth. But on the second day, you ate like a champ. Your mama was adventurous and moved you from cereal to apple puree the other day, but you dislike the apple puree so much. Perhaps we should try again this week. 

Solid Food Adventure:
20 Nov - First intro on Oatmeal Cereal (Yumm)
25 Nov - Oatmeal and Banana Cereal (Yumm)
1 Dec - Apple puree (Yuckk)


Weight
 At birth : 3.02 kg
7 weeks : 4.7kg

6.5 months (30 Nov 2013) : 6.7kg


Funniest Moment
Ever since you became so efficient in rolling, from tummy to back, from back to tummy, you are trying to roll everywhere. Even in your stroller. Ooopss. This is a little dangerous, and we definitely have to watch over you all the time. =D
Milestone
  - Loves to roll left and right
- Loves to sleep on his tummy

- Cried on his first day of solid food, but ate like a champ on the next day

Favorite Toy
Your mama's HAIR and Mouth. You grab anything that is within your reach. And your favorite past time while you nurse, is to grab my hair. Please don't pull too hard yeah, your mama has already lost a number of hair. Haha.
