Nira's Hot List - September 2020
Nira’s Hot List Contributed by Virgin Radio Morning Show Co-Host Nira Arora
Welcome September! If you're a parent then you know – life is constantly on the go. I'm a working mom of two boys (who are nine and seven) and a little girl who is three. I used to think my life was busy… but after becoming a mom – it's next level!
It's fun, but it's hard. It's amazing, but it's hard. It's ridiculously rewarding… but it's hard! And now with everything that’s happening in the world - It is even HARDER! I’d like to help make life a little bit easier for you as a mom on the go… so today I’m sharing few parenting essentials, mom-to-mom!
Mabel's Labels
Label everything! Seriously – no joke! Your kids have this innate desire to leave their belongings anywhere and everywhere.
I realized this once preschool started – labeling is the key. Everything you buy for kids is already expensive, but when you have to buy the same thing a second time, that is next-level annoying.
I found Mabel's labels – pre-made labels with your children's names. They come as adhesive sticker-like labels that you can use on their clothes, toys, shoes, hats, gloves, water bottles, thermos, and even chargers! (Strange I know - but they go missing too!) And now – you will also possibly need to label masks!
For anything that could possibly need a label, Mabel's Labels works. Plus, you can throw your items in the wash with the labels on them. Pure lifesaver!
The labels aren't just for the kiddies either. I printed some off with my name on them as well. I lend things out all the time and then forget that I did. This way, I'm hoping they'll eventually get back to me!
These labels are a pure time and life saver!
PK Beans Masks
I like to buy local as much as I possibly can – it's a great feeling to support local brands and to get great quality on top of that. PK Beans is exactly that: local and amazing quality clothing for children. And now PK Beans has masks for your whole family.
PK masks are getting the reputation of one of the most comfortable mask you'll wear! Using their custom-printed knit fabrics, these double-layer, non-medical masks are also made to match their Fall collection. The masks are form-fitting with a chin gusset, a flexible nose wire for custom fit, soft elastic ear loops, 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex, washable and reusable!
AG Hands Free Sanitizer
Keep your “Hands Free” of germs and bacteria. AG Hands Free hand sanitizing gel is formulated with ethyl alcohol 73% v/v for maximum germ-killing ability (exceeding both CDC and WHO sanitizer guidelines) yet leaves hands feeling moisturized and protected. Rich in vitamin E, glycerine and aloe vera, Hands Free is both soothing and highly effective. Kills 99.9% of Germs. It’s another great way to support local! AG's Hands Free hand sanitizing spray and gel was created to help meet the unprecedented demand for sanitizing solutions while supporting the Government of Canada, local health authorities and frontline workers. To be honest, I’ve been obsessed with hand sanitizers since I was first introduced to them many many years ago and this one has become one of my favourites! FunFact: AG does have a promo right now until September 30th – Buy 3 Get 1 Free on hand sanitizers. Check out their website.
withinUs- TruMarine Collagen
If you’re interested in filling your body with some major goodness – this is a must! Collagen from the inside! withinUs TruMarine™ Collagen is the highest grade of collagen available. It is Ultra-Pure, NonGMO Project Verified and 100% natural.
Studies show that regular consumption of marine collagen improves skin moisture level, smoothness and suppleness, preventing signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, and UVB-induced skin damage. It has also been clinically proven to reduce everyday joint pain, and pain associated with osteoarthritis (approved by Health Canada)
withinUs TruMarine™ Collagen has no impurities, additives, preservatives or fillers – which means you can easily incorporate it into hot or cold beverages without affecting the flavour or consistency. Speaking from experience, moms feel worn down and we don’t get as much ME time as we would like. This helps with restoring and replenishing us from the inside.
