Hayfever season is truely upon us. This year it is me and Holly who are suffering from sore eyes, tickly noses and a mucus cough. This year is the first time Holly has experienced Hay Fever and now that she is talking about the world and learning about the world she has been fascinated to find out about pollen and allergens that cause her symptoms - she feels almost proud to suffer from hayfever!
You know me, I'd always prefer to try a natural remedy for a problem before resorting to medicines and so Holly and I have been trying out HayMax Kids; it's a natural balm that you place inside your nostrils and around your eyes to act as a barrier against allergen particles. It's such a simple idea but it genuinely does seem to make a difference. Last week, on the days when the pollen count was so high that my BBC weather app decided it needed to warn me about it, Holly and I were both totally on top of our hayfever.
This summer I'm also using the Puressentiel nasal spray which I find really works to help clear my nose at the end of the day, and gets me through most of the morning without showing any hayfever signs.
HayMax kids comes in a small pot. The balm is made using a blend of beeswax and sunflower oil so it it a gentle, 100% organic balm that you can rub onto the nostrils with your fingertips. Holly enjoys doing this herself in the mornings before nursery. On the days in the past fortnight where we have forgotten, Holly has once again complained in the evening of a snotty nose and has an evident cough.
I have a summer survival kit for small people to give away to one of my lovely Mellow Mummy readers. The kit includes a pot of HayMax kids barrier balm and a bottle of Bioskin Junior Bath Milk (we use this for Holly's bathtimes!) - this is a gentle bath additive for use instead of bubble bath which is designed for cleansing and soothing sensitive skin for babies, toddlers and children and is perfect for a cooling bath at the end of a hot summer's day.
If you'd like to win this summer survival kit, all you need to do is to leave me a comment below to tell me the thing you most enjoy about summer. The competition closes on the 28th June.
