One of my favorite attractions at the Disneyland Resort is It’s A Small World. My mom actually attended the 1964 New York World’s Fair as a small child and remembers seeing the ride there! It’s been one of her favorites ever since! The entire facade of the ride is so whimsical and magical, I just LOVE it.
Anywhoo, when I first heard about the It’s A Small World line of mom and child skin care products by Basq, I was pretty intrigued. I saw the packaging for the first time at this year’s DisneySMMoms Celebration at the Walt Disney World Resort when there was a surprise in my room one evening of their TOUCH Lavender Body Butter. I almost flipped my lid when I saw it because it was so beautiful!
Well, even though it said it was for mother and baby, I thought “hmmm…I’m a mom and my babies are 10 and 14, so I qualify, right?” I think so! I opened up that jar and put it on my arms immediately…my skin gets so dry in that Central Florida climate and I don’t normally take the time down there to do anything about it, but we were at the Yacht Club and it was all about relaxing. The fragrance was simply wonderful and it felt so luxurious! Not too strong at all, just very mild and soothing. I really dislike skin care products with too much fragrance, but I don’t like the plain stuff either. I know…I’m difficult. Anyway, this was perfect and I was really wishing it had been around when my kiddos were babies!

So, here’s the thing. I really wanted a mom and baby to try the products too and it just so happened that my nephew was just a few months old so I asked my sister-in-law to be my loyal subject and try out the rest of the products I was given to sample. She also has a friend with a baby who was just a little older than my nephew and here’s what they both had to say about the products:

She had this to say about the SHARE Lavender Calming Oil: “Baby loves this on his feet as the directions on the box suggest. He can be fussy, and I put it on his feet and he stops being fussy because he likes his little toes being massaged! I like it because it makes him smell wonderful without using scented lotions on his dry skin.”

And this to say about the LOVE Nourishing Cleansing Bar: “This soap is nice to use for me. It lathers up nicely and feels luxurious on ~ I am guessing that is due to the coconut base in the ingredient list. However, even though it says it is for mom and baby, I would not use it on baby for two reasons. One, I typically use a liquid soap to make a bubble bath for baby and two, the box says to keep the product out of baby’s eyes. I prefer to use a tear-free soap on baby.”

They both said the DREAM Sleep Mist “bottle is beautiful and sprays smoothly, smells wonderful when sprayed in the room”. I have to agree because I sprayed some in my bedroom before I handed it over and it was really light and lovely. I know that a beautifully smelling room always makes me feel more relaxed, imagine what it can do for your cranky little one?
I’m hoping that I’ve gotten you excited about these luxurious mom and baby products inspired by It’s A Small World! They’re really fabulous and I hope you’ll give them a try.

Fantastic goods from you, man. I have understand your stuff previous to and you are just extremely fantastic.
I actually like what you have acquired here, really like what you're stating and the way in which you say it. You make it enjoyable and you still care for to keep it sensible. I can not wait to read far more from you. This is actually a wonderful site.
I love how my feet feel after a pedi, but during those in between times – well, not so much. Needless to say, I’m intrigued with Spa Socks from Basq. These moisture enriched socks have a gel lining built in that bathe your feet with nourishing oils perfecting and repairing dry feet, rough heels and hard calluses. Spa Socks retail for $40 and have up to 50 uses.
My daughter turns six next week, and that means I'm feeling extra nostalgic--even about my stretch marks. Back then, I didn't know the importance of keeping growing belly skin supple, and now I'm suffering for it.
If only I could send a care package back to my August 2006 self, here are the two products I would send...along with a lot of cookies.
The first product on the list is actually three products--or, to be more specific, one lovely body oil in three different scents. The Resilient Body Oil Trio Set from basq includes one bottle each of their signature body oil in calming Pear Lavender, invigorating Grapefruit Citrus, and uplifting Eucalyptus spa. The oil mixture is targeted for full-body toning and stretch mark care, with oodles of essential fatty acids, deeply moisturizing oils and butters, naturally occurring vitamins, and natural antimicrobial properties.
And that's all fancy talk for dang, y'all, this stuff sinks in and makes me glow! Granted, I'm not currently pregnant, but I love having the same fantastic oil in three different and not overwhelming fragrances. I use it on my arms, legs, and decolletage, and even drizzle it in the bath so I can soften up while reading.
If you like the idea of a natural moisturizer but don't dig fragrance or oil, the other product on my list is the Fragrance-Free Illipe Body Butter, also from basq. This tub of super rich, super luxe, super thick body butter is virtually scent-free and extra soothing. When I accidentally use an old razor, I slather this stuff on to magically reduce the pain and inflammation of razor burn. I can't imagine how nice it would feel on a round, itchy belly.
All four basq products are natural and safe for all stages of pregnancy and motherhood. The ingredients are listed clearly on the basq site, and I've rigorously tested them (as did my three-year-old son, who ate a big glop of body butter. His mouth, it should be noted, has no stretch marks). -Delilah
In the "Green Your Beauty Routine for Pegnancy" author Latham Thomas recommends basq's Citrus Sugar Body Polish. She says,
"Scrub it up! Chemical Free Scrub -- The key to healthy elastic skin is to exfoliate, sweeping away the dull, itchy top skin layer and prompting cellular renewal in the lower layers where stretch marks occur. With the combination of natural ingredients, including shea butter and other nourishing essential oils, Basq Sugar Body Polish is made to penetrate deeply for intense skin fortification and elasticity. Sugar Body Polish, $26.00 www.BasqNYC.com"
The new trio of aroma oils offers something for every mood with real body benefits by scent. The oils are important for perfect skin prep, protection and toning in aromas that make caring for your skin positively addictive. The essential oil is built to absorb deeply and quickly for intense moisturization and repair. Whether you want to relax and unwind or revive and refresh, the basq Resilient Oil Trio Pack has everything you need: CALM, a Lavender Pear blend for relaxation and better sleep; FRESH, a Eucalyptus Spa blend that soothes the senses and eases stress; REVIVE, a Grapefruit Citrus blend that energizes instantly. The basq select blend includes Hazelnut, Sweet Almond, Wheat Germ, Grapeseed, Rosehip Oils plus Vitamin E. resulting in better skin resiliency and tone plus a silky, smooth feel.
Warm sand, hot sun and cool breezes feel fabulous but can wreak havoc on your skin, which is why it is so important to take extra care of yourself. From personal experience, I have found the summer to be even harsher on my skin than the winter months – especially on my feet! Running around in flip flops and chasing toddlers through the sand isn’t the best combination for your tootsies; they can quickly turn quite dry if you don’t take care of them.
I have a bit of a weakness for beauty products and love to test the latest and greatest in skincare, bath and beauty. These are some of my ultimate mom ‘must-haves’ for the summer season.
Slather on The Sunscreen Tans are gorgeous and darker skin is something many of us moms try to attain in the warmer months, but sadly, the sun is good for you in moderation only and can cause skin damage and in excess can increase your chances of skin cancer. As much as I worship the sun, I slather the sunscreen on myself as well as my children. Forget the SPF 15 and opt for something that provides a minimum of SPF 35 (SPF 50 is even better).
If you want a little color, try using a self-tanner or gradual tanning lotion to give your skin a little glow. It’s much healthier and safer for your skin!
Exfoliate! Cool showers feel fabulous and can perk up your mood on hot sweltering days, but don’t forget to exfoliate! Loofahs, body scrubs or pumice stones are great for getting rid of dry skin on your feet and/or body. Just be sure to use them with a non-drying soap or cleanser. Well polished skin tends to absorb moisturizer more efficiently.
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
Whether you are expecting a baby or have already given birth, a good, rich moisturizer is your best friend in the summer season. Basq is a brand that I have loved for several years now, using their products throughout my second and third pregnancies. Their It’s a Small World Body Butter is made from all-natural ingredients and comes in a thick, rich butter that moms-to-be can use to improve the elasticity of their growing belly and everyone else can use to moisturize their parched skin. The great thing about this butter is that it can also be used safely on infants and babies.

Give Your Locks a Little Love Don’t forget about your hair! Chlorine, salt water and the sun can dry out your locks, causing split ends and fly-aways. I like to use a hair mask every 2 weeks or so to put the moisture back in my hair and to help fight against the elements. Two additional solutions: hair oil or an extra rich conditioning treatment.
Polish Up Freshly painted toes are adorable in sandals and a pedicure can go a long way for one’s overall well being (especially when you are pregnant!). Bright Corals, Soft Pinks, Candy Reds and Turquoise shades are super hot this summer. I’m really digging the new Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection by OPI. They are fabulous for mother-daughter manicures too ;).

Review of Product:My Sister In Law is pregnant and due very soon! I gave her this 9 Month Stretch Essentials Kit a few months ago to use and let me know what she thought. She told me she loved the products and found them to be very helpful in her quest to keep her skin during pregnancy perfect! She thought the citrus sugar body polish was a delightful scent and the exfoliation of the polish left her skin always bright looking. Her favorite was the stretch mark butter – not only did it smell yummy but it has helped keep her stretch marks at a minimum. The resilient body oil left her skin feeling soft but never greasy. She is excited to continue to use these great products!
I recently discovered the company Basq when I was researching healthy skin care lines. I was sent the Basq Resilient Body Oil to try, which is a product that helps with stretch marks.
Basq was designed to appeal to women and men in all life stages. From pregnancy to weight loss, sensitive skin to mature skin and all the combinations in between. They have a series of stretch mark products that work from prevention to repair. Stretch marks can be caused by pregnancy, weight loss, growth spurts, and even strength training. They also have products that help with balancing hormones, like their Rebalancing Face Cleanser. For rest and relaxation, they have products with wonderful aromas and textures. Every product is tested rigorously for allergy and sensitivity, and they are all paraben, phthalate, and animal testing free.
They also have a huge celebrity following! Some of the beauties who love their products include Heidi Klum, Christy Turlington, Marcia Cross, Sheryl Crow, Diana Krall, Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Brooke Shields, and Linda Evangelista. Maybe it's not that big of a deal that these women love the products, but celebrities could afford a $500 bottle of stretch mark elixir with real gold and diamond flecks in it, so if THIS is good enough for them, it's good enough for me too.
I don't have a lot of stretch marks. I have a couple on each side of my stomach that I've had since 8th grade when I had a HUGE growth spurt- I've been 5'11" since middle school FYI. The ones I do have are a white-ish silver and I never think about them because they're practically invisible. Even so, I'm going through a huge weight gain being pregnant and it's important to keep my skin moisturized so as it stretches and pulls it doesn't lack in moisture or elasticity and it stays in good shape.
When you screw off the lid to this, there is no control top lid, it's just open. I like to pour a little bit in my hand and apply to my stomach, arms, thighs and anywhere else I feel like could use a little TLC. I like that it doesn't sit on my skin, it sinks right in and does its job. It has a light scent that goes away as soon as it's applied. The bottle is glass which could be good or bad. Do you drop things often? It would not be fun to break a bottle of body oil on the floor. But if that's not a concern to you it's truly a great product!
I can't wait to see what Jessica has tried from the company!

I just discovered a new brand that will now be my go-to baby shower gift! Basq has this product line that is called It’s a Small World. First off, the Loving Touch Gift Set is ALREADY beautifully packaged for you, so you really do not even need to wrap for a shower. It in this beautiful gold box, that I personally plan on keeping as storage later on….and the products are beautifully packaged inside the box. Then, the products are wonderful and simply hold their own. The really amazing thing about them is that they can be used on both Mommy and baby, or in our case Mommy and 5 year old!
So here I am trying out the Lavender Body Butter for Mom and Baby when my almost five year old comes over and decides he “wants to smell good too” So, I applied the butter on him, and we are both now smelling pretty darn awesome, AND we are very moisturized because this is a THICK creamy butter, that does a FANTASTIC job in the moisturizing department as well!
Originally, I did not read the Dream Lavender and Sleep Mist Box very well, and sprayed this on me. Oops…it is apparently a room spray, which smells great. It is pretty light smelling, but totally does the job. As I type this, I am feeling a little sleepy *yawn* or that could just be the pregnancy talking.
My beautifully packaged Loving Touch Gift Set
I just couldn’t bring myself to save the Nourishing Cleansing Bar for Mom and Baby for THE BABY, and have been using it myself. It lathers very well, and has a pretty decent lavender aroma to it! I personally love it, and all things lavender to be honest!
The Lavender Calming Oil is great, but definitely something I will be saving for bedtime for baby. I’ve never been a huge fan of oils and this has a pretty strong scent. I will definitely only be using a small amount on baby at bedtime to help relax and soothe it to sleep.
Again, this will now be my go-to gift set for baby showers! It is WONDERFUL and I am impressed with every single product inside! Every new mom and baby deserves to be pampered, and these products will do just that.
always i used to read smaller articles or reviews which
as well clear their motive, and that is also happening with this piece of writing
