My Baba Measure: What’s Hot

Introducing WeTwo

WeTwo is a brand new haircare range for pregnancy and beyond, formulated and designed by hairdresser Kelly Simpkin-Clarke, alongside the Portland Hospital’s gynaecologist Claire Mellon.

As a professional hairdresser with 15 years’ experience and a mother of two, Kelly identified the need for a hair care range for mums-to-be – a range that could support the hormonal imbalance and ongoing changes that women go through during and post-pregnancy, but which is also kind to the body.

Using her credentials and love of essential oils, Kelly spent three years working closely with industry experts to create a range that is completely safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The range is free from parabens, silicone, phalates and SLS, with more than 90% natural ingredients, which are all vegan friendly.

The result is a fabulous capsule haircare range which is a three-step programme and comprises shampoo and conditioner: NOURISH for use during pregnancy, REBUILD for post-partum and BEYOND as a mother’s journey continues through womanhood.

NOURISH for pregnancy

REBUILD for post-partum

Oaka Books

If you have a child who is struggling academically at school, life can be very tough. Textbooks and resources are geared to fluent readers, so what happens if your child is not quite there with reading skills, is dyslexic or a slow processor?

Oaka Books can help! Set up when co-founder Bambi Gardiner’s daughter was diagnosed as severely dyslexic, she created highly visual resources to help her daughter. When her results shot up from E, F and U grades to As and Bs, Bambi turned to subject specialists and SEN teachers to produce a range of products to help other struggling children.

Each topic pack is fully illustrated, colourful and engaging. Information is broken down into bite size chunks and each pack includes 3 different learning strategies: reading, writing and memory recall.

 

All Oaka products are linked to the national curriculum and there are packs and games for KS1, KS2, KS3 and KS4/GCSE.

Ignite 2, Polar

If you’re looking for a fitness watch, the Polar Ignite 2 is a sleek, simple and smart option. Keep track of your fitness, sleep and recovery with personalised guidance to help you stay motivated. Plus, it’ll look gorgeous on your wrist too.

Choose from a variety of colours and accessory bands to fit your personality perfectly, and we love that you can even change the watch face to match your current mood!

With added features like music controls, weather forecast and push notifications and an easy-to-use app, you have everything you need to help you achieve and exceed your goals.

 

New Ocean Friendly Refillable Bath Range, Love Ocean

Launched in June 2021, Love Ocean is a range of bath-time products designed to be loved, refilled and reused, to help to protect our oceans from plastic waste.

Founded by mum-of-two Gabi Jennings, who was inspired to address the disposable nature of children’s products, the brand’s signature whale tail bottle is intended to become a cherished part of every family’s bath-time routine. Tactile and inspiring, it will serve as an ever-present reminder of the importance of ocean conservation, uniting parents and children in a conversation about living more sustainably with the world around us.

Love Ocean Bubble Bath is 99% natural and Love Ocean Kids Hair and Body Wash is 98% natural. Formulated with mild but effective, marine ingredients, the sea-scape fragrance brings the scent of the ocean to the bathroom. The formulations are vegan-friendly, eco-friendly, ocean-friendly and reef-friendly and formulated without SLS, petrochemicals, parabens or colourants.

The 300ml bottles can be reused and refilled from as little as £5 per refill with Love Ocean’s subscription service, which delivers three-months’ product in recyclable pouches direct to your door from Love Ocean.

Latest Books

BACK TO YOU: The Ultimate Recovery Program After Pregnancy.

Co-authored by the CEO of The Wonder Weeks Xaviera Plooij and acclaimed personal trainer and physical therapist Laurens Mischner, Back To You features interviews with leading doctors, lactation consultants, therapists and other experts.

Recovering from childbirth is both a physical and non-physical process with no expiration date. From hormones and muscles to mind and spirit, every aspect of a woman’s body is affected by pregnancy, and so Back To You presents a holistic programme of recovery that includes—but goes well beyond—exercise. This is not a workout book, and it’s important to note that losing weight is not the end goal of this programme; instead, it is a side-effect of the healthy lifestyle the programme promotes.
