The brand, which is a best-seller in the USA, and also becoming a leader in the UK, offers a completely safe option for parents wishing to avoid any risks from BPA. And it’s not just the BPA-free materials used that has helped BornFreeTM to become number 1 choice for parents, but also the efficacy of the products themselves.

Share the Love

Dear Friends,

Sweet_and_Dreamy_300There’s less than a week till we announce the winner in our “Love is” competition, receiving the fabulous Sweet & Dreamy gift box from Lush! So far we’ve received hundreds of emails, answering that simple question in the most inspiring way. We wanted to thank you all… and to share some of your most interesting, funny, a bit bizarre, sad, gentle and inspiring thoughts.

Love is… kissing your partners eyelids when they are asleep. Victoria Laithwaite

Love is…  eating the last rolo so your loved one doesn’t put on weight. L. Mundy

Love Is… waking up and seeing my early-bird little boys smiling face beaming at me! Ms Linda Johnson

Love is…holding my hair back, when I’m throwing up because of chemo treatment. Sarah Williams

“Love is… lying in a hot bath of Lush Sweet and Dreamy gift box products with my wonderful husband! Hayley Williams

Love is…. bringing me a sandwich when I’m up with the baby at 3am! Kathryn MacKinnon

Love is cuddling up to my beautiful Italian girlfriend Vivienne.  I am profoundly deaf and she is hearing and she is truly amazing beyond words the way in which she has coped with me and loved me for who I am when I am really hard work and I feel that this should be recognised. She makes my dinners, washes my clothes puts my butties up for work and is always on hand to talk through any worries and concerns as she is a brilliant communicator. Paul Marshall

Love is my son waking me up with a hug and saying i love you mummy. Vicki Francis

Love is…wishing someone a future of happiness, even if that future does not include you! Robert Macolive

There is still time for you to enter the draw and win the Lush gift box for either yourself, of for the love of your Valentine!

Good luck, everybody!
