The Search for the Perfect Walker

As my baby girl is experiencing her first attempts into self operated human beings world. Therefor, I went into a trip in the one and only AVENUES to search for the perfect walker. The perfect walker in my point of view should have 4 particular characteristics:
One: It should flatter your baby’s eye color and highlights! “ kidding” but really, look for a fun one with crazy dangling jungle animals , buttons, spins, lights, sounds. Just go for a miniature theme part on a walker.
Second: If you live in an apartment or a small space, look for smaller size walker. You really don’t want your baby’s first steps to be full of accidents bangs into every single piece of furniture in your house!
Third: seat should be well cushioned, comfortable and suitable to your baby’s size . A baby in a walker should be able to move inside her/his seat.
Fourth: price .. please don’t go crazy buying your kid the Bentley walker! They will grow out of it in a heartbeat or get bored of it in an eye blink.

So I started my search, putting in mind my four guidelines. The first place was my favorite kids zone " Mama's & Papa's".

I might love mamas and papas because it makes me feel like a catalogue parent, wearing the best pencil skirt ever with my peach ruffled shirt and pushing my baby with neatest stroller down a trees lined street. I was shocked that M&P’s only has one walker to offer. I didn’t like it since the wheels base was very wide.

Mama's & Papa's - 39 KD

Now out to MotherCare, It’s the kids place we “ young mommies” actually inherited from our moms. They had 4 different walkers in display but I was not convinced with the price.

Mothercare - 54 kd

Baroue is always a valid option for confused mothers, They had more than 8 kinds and styles of walkers with various price range. I saw one that matches my baby’s swing that I bought earlier. But I was never a big fan of matchy matchy stuff.

Baroue, The matchy matchy - 39 KD

So I went to the next best thing: simple, light, colorful, with lots of noise and flashing lights. The seat is hugging and well padded. Snagged it and couldn’t wait till I see those little chubby feats dangling trying to reach the flour. She liked it, was really excited to be standing by herself.

Baroue - The one - 29 kd

!Nutellaholic .. Not so holic

So I was hypnotized by the pictures and the thought, I saw it on ilsul6ana while I was at work “ fasting” and thought today it will be the day to actually ruin my Diet Care based Fotour and add the component of this yummy looking Wooowey sounding dessert . Picked the phone and insisted that my colleague order her own sinful yumminess as well.

It came, and it was not good! The outer backed cake was jelly like! Flabby and not consistent at all. The promised Nutella filling was water like! No thickness No texture and NO TASTE of Nutella! The home backed goodie that I usually appreciate was a real disappointment.
I am sorry my dear Nutellaholic – Nutella Molten Cake, But It was really not so holic !

Panadol Sinus VS. Otrivin

If you don’t know what’s Otrivin yet, you might be one of the 27% lucky people world wide who does not have seasonal flue or casual cold every now and then!
Unfortunately I know Otrivin very well as it sleeps next to me in the night when I have runny nose then blocked nose all in consecutive twenty minutes.

Otrivin is a magical nasal drops or spray that tend to open any blockage and defeat any inconvenience caused by that mysterious thingS that prevent you from breathing good and tasting food.

1 spray before sleeping will do the magic, dosage warning is fishy and the long term use of Otrivin is not recommended by doctors. Its not appreciated to take a spray or drop of Otrivin more than 3 times a day, and its extremely advised against using Otrivin for 4 days in a row. Claims of side effects like fast heart beats and lower blood pressure, not to mention the rumor that suggests Otrivin being highly addictive.

In spite of all that, I love Otrivin and NEED to use it in the night when all the gates are closed and no air comes to my brains, Plus I hate when I breath from my mouth!

All that was applied till I tried the gentle on stomach Panadol Sinus, The box is purple which is my favorite color and the bills are small and swallowing friendly. I was not sure that It will be as fast and effective as Otrivin, But it was.

So people who are already hooked on Otrivin, ditch the white tinny bottle that you’ve been sniffing all day long, and switch to Panadol Sinus.

Its healthier and will not cause any itchiness in your sute little noses.

Note: no picture was found to Panadol Sinus but you can buy it from Boots or Sultan Center or any pharmacy on your way.
