My Baba Measure: What’s Hot This Week

Sleep soundly with this smart baby monitor

Nanit takes your baby’s sleep seriously. It’s a whole lot more than a baby monitor. It’s a camera that connects to an app on your phone. It tracks and analyses your baby’s sleep pattern and offers guidance on how to help them sleep better. You’ll get breathing motion alerts, ‘What Happened Last Night? reports, and be able to access the camera wherever you are. Pretty nifty, right?

All Nanit cameras will be 20% off for Black Friday.

The game-changing keratin blow-dry you can do at home

You can absolutely compare this to a Brazilian blow-dry. This 12-week SOS keratin rescue treatment from Easilocks claims to ‘erase extreme frizz from your hair in 10 minutes’ and it’s made the world of difference to my hair in making it feel softer, healthier and completely frizz-free. It’s super-easy to apply with a sponge applicator, then after 10 minutes you wash off and dry as normal. It’s certainly a salon-quality treatment that you can easily do yourself at home for £34.99. I’ve been using this alongside the Macadamia shampoo and masque; believe me, the whole kit is a game-changer.
