Little ones stay warm in Little Dundi scarves

One of the joys of living in Toronto, or any part of Canada, is experiencing the four seasons. Truth be told, I enjoy spring, summer and fall (in that order) much more than I enjoy winter. Sure, I try to focus on fun things like skating, skiing and snowboarding. But it's hard not to focus on slush, shovelling and snowsuits.

Last winter Hannah was a newborn. Last winter Toronto hardly got any snow. Last winter my car was parked indoors.

This year, Hannah is old enough to take her own hat off. This year, Toronto has gotten more snow than we got ALL last winter. And most bitterly, this year my car is parked outdoors.

But there is still something positive to focus on in winter 2012/13. And that's the discovery of Little Dundi's Soft and Cuddly Scarf with Bear Pompons.

Hannah was sent one in pink, and she simply loves it. The little bears distract her enough for her to leave the scarf on. And it is SO soft. (So soft that I have already ordered a Little Dundi blanket made of the same material). And it's warm too - you have to trust mom and Little Dundi inventor Milena Perrine - she lives in Colorado, she knows what cold weather is truly like. I wish I could find a scarf like this that would fit me!

Further details:

•  One Size. Fits baby 12+ months to toddler.
•  36 inches in length without the pompons. 4.5 inches wide.
•  Ivory, camel or baby pink with beige bear heads.
•  Assembled in USA from imported materials. All new materials. 100% polyester.
•  Machine wash cold. Delicate dry cycle only.

Combat Dry Skin with George's Cream (Giveaway)

Fall is here, and unfortunately that means winter will soon be upon us.

Other than snowboarding, Christmas and Hannah's birthday, winter and I are not friends. His cold temperature wreaks havoc on my skin. His lack of sunlight makes me depressed. And forcing me to dress Hannah in multiple layers - including a snowsuit - is not fun.

Thankfully, George's Cream can come to my rescue, at least to solve my dry skin problem.

Pharmacist George Doherty created George’s Special Dry Skin Cream in his kitchen using his wife’s cake mixer over 15 years ago looking to create a cream for local Albertans to help combat their severe dry skin from the harsh winters. He didn't intend to invent one of the top selling therapeutic skin moisturizers in Canada, but that's exactly what he did.

George’s Cream is appealing to so many Canadians because it is a non-prescription therapeutic skin moisturizer that has no additives and is fragrance free. Many users suffering from eczema and psoriasis are amazed by the immense relief they feel almost from the first application and now use it as their daily moisturizer or night cream.

George's Cream also offers therapeutic benefits that will provide significant relief to those suffering from cradle cap, sunburn, flaky skin, wind burn or swimmer’s itch.

George’s Cream does not contain urea, lanolin or parabens and has been specifically made to be hypoallergenic and fragrance free. It contains no additives, irritants, fragrance or colouring which could irritate damaged skin. And it's not tested on animals.

George's Cream goes on smoothly and is not greasy at all. Chris even commented on how soft our skin was after use. Our building turned on the heat earlier this week, and with George's Cream my skin looks and feels as good as it did in the summer.

George's Cream is available at grocery, mass merchandise and drug stores nationwide including Shoppers Drug Mart and Loblaws. It retails from $2.99 to $14.99.

Would you like George's Cream to come to your dry skin rescue this winter too? Enter to win a George's Cream prize package that includes full-size and travel size products of George's skincare products by using the Rafflecopter below.

Open to Canadian Residents only. Valid entries only. Contest ends Sunday, October 14, 2012.
