If you have any questions for Enterprise Foods this is your chance to get them answered. It can be anything from what they changed; why and how listeria (listeriosis) got into their products; if the processed meats are safe to eat…
I also have one hamper to give away – this prize can only be delivered to Gauteng residents. I need your questions by midday 25 March 2019. If you just want to ask questions and not interested in the hamper you can also let me know.
T&Cs
Prize is sponsored and will be delivered by Enterprise foods.
You need to send me at least 1 question for Enterprise Foods. This can be via a comment on the blog post or Facebook post and even as a DM via Facebook/Instagram or an email.
You need to be based in Gauteng to be entered into the draw for the hamper.
All names who submitted a question, that are based in Gauteng, will be put into a hat for a random draw.
I’m being honest and letting you know I haven’t consumed any processed meats since the outbreak. I miss my vienna hotdogs, but I can’t get to the stage where I’m ready to eat it again.
Did you know that Chicco has been around for 60 years? They constantly observe children, have dialogues with parents and collaborate with the medical world to censure their products bring only joy in the lives of little ones.
Breast feeding
Look, I am never going to dwell on breast pumps and breastfeeding (you can read here why) but I will mention some of Chicco’s products to help you on your way.
Naturally electric breast pump
Natural feeling manual breast pump
Chicco breast milk container
The airtight seal helps to preserve breastmilk – but you can also use it to store milk powder in for those on the go days.
Soothing thermogel pads
Antibacterial breast protection pads
Silicone nipple shields – please don’t ask me to explain this one… ever.
Bottle feeding
Now I can talk about stuff I know… We use a bottle similar in shape but with the teat in the middle (and they work great), but after trying the Chicco Natural Feeling Bottle the other night on little miss Lily at bed time I was impressed. She took to the bottle like it was nobody’s business, she didn’t have any more wind than usual and she looked more comfortable. I’ll still use it a few more times to test of course!
Disclaimer: It is up to you to decide between bottle and breastfeeding. However follow the instructions provided to keep bottles sterilized.
These bottles are made in Italy
0% BPA
Clinically tested
96% of babies accepted the bottle
Chicco offers both the inclined and regular teats to fit on the bottles, obviously with different flow rates. More excitingly they have glass bottles as well – which of course makes them recyclable and more hygienic. We have one of the glass bottles to try out, but I am petrified of Lexa using her throw arm…
Personally we don’t use bottle warmers as we keep the filtered water in bottles for the day/night and make more bottles as we see them running out, but Chicco does offer a bottle warmer that will fit their bottles.
I liked the looked of the Chicco sterilizer – especially the microwaveable one for travel. The big electronic one… yeah, it might have been a contender for us.
Dummies and more
Dummies, hate it or love it… sometime the only thing that will get baby to settle is to stick one in the pie-hole, seriously. We got Chicco dummies in some of the hospital bags when Lily was born and we still use them. I prefer a transparent dummy, but when my parents are around it is better to have a bright colour so they can find it (just saying).
Chico has a fantastic selection of dummies, dummy clips, teethers, teether bibs and it is always worth shopping around and looking at what is new in the shelves.

If you’ve stepped out into any toy store recently you would’ve noticed a “larger than normal” presence of Mickey Mouse (and Minnie) toys. This is due to the big birthday coming up on 18 November – and here you were thinking it was for Xmas.
Since I have a baby just days away I thought I’d start with all the wonderful Disney Baby things you can get – thanks to Prima Baby.
The Disney Baby ring rattle is the cutest little thing, perfect for little hands to grab onto. So colourful and perfect for those precious early play times.
I did say I’m going all out baby for this post… Wouldn’t you want a Mickey Comforter? I can see many fun play time hours on this!
I do have bottles from number 1, but a girl can look – can’t she?
And of course you can also get a milk powder dispenser with Minnie or Mickey on it.
DISNEY BABY MICKEY MILK POWDER DISPENSER
Now we are getting to the part where baby is getting a little older with itchy gums and little hands that want to explore and touch everything – and this Disney Baby Mickey Mouse teether activity toy is just what baby will want.
It’s not all about the plushies… anything with wheels was always a winner for Lexa and I’m hoping little miss Lily will also enjoy a bit of vroom-vroom. Can I have this for my desk – pretty please!
DISNEY BABY MICKEY RACING KART
One of the very first things Lexa mastered was to sort shapes – and that was before she was 1! Her shape sorter wasn’t this fancy, but you never know what may arrive from all the aunts and uncles!
DISNEY BABY MICKEY AND FRIENDS SHAPE SORTER
You can never have too many rattles! Lexa had a few and inevitable they all ended up being missing for a few days. Plus the little car is a soft teether. (2-in-1 mum!)
DISNEY BABY MICKEY KEY RATTLE
I have a thing for cameras so this list would not be complete without me sneaking in a cute camera!
There are so many toys I would like to include on this list, but you will be reading all day if I did! However, I can tell you that toys aren’t the only things you can get from Disney Baby either…
Some people say don’t give a dummy and others swear by it. For me personally I don’t see why a baby can’t use a dummy when they need it in the early years. This Disney baby natural pacifier is only suitable for 6+ months, but it is just too sweet not to include on the list.
When you have a pacifier, you need a pacifier case – because there is nothing worse than thinking of all the germs floating in the air with a new baby.
Then, when baby is older you will need plates, spoons and other utensils!
DISNEY BABY MICKEY MICRO SET
DISNEY BABY MICKEY CUTLERY TRAVEL SET
Win a Disney Baby Mickey & Minnie Mouse plushie set!
Prima Baby has generously sponsored a Disney Baby Mickey Activity Plush and Disney Baby Minnie Activity Plush combo. I’m kind of jealous that I can’t enter my own competitions, but I’m going to be so happy for whomever gets to have these little rascals!
Prize consists of a Disney Baby Mickey Activity Plush and Disney Baby Minnie Activity Plush combo.

I love the feeling right after just brushing my teeth! That minty aftertaste is just so good…
When Lexa was little it was easy to brush her teeth. She didn’t bite down or refuse to open her mouth. Some days, now that she is 2, it is easy and other days I want to crawl up the walls – because she now wants to brush her own teeth!
She mimics the brushing actions when you brush in front of her, but she also likes to just eat the toothpaste and bite onto her toothbrush. I usually try to get in and brush her teeth first and then let her play around… just to make sure we keep those little teeth healthy.
Lexa uses the 0 to 2 toothpaste from Colgate. Currently she has a Barbie toothbrush (I’m so jealous).
Practising good oral hygiene is the first step to a healthy mouth
Practising good oral hygiene is the first line of defence against oral health conditions. Oral health, in turn, impacts on overall wellbeing. Signs of a healthy mouth include teeth that are clean and free of food debris, gums that are healthy and pink without pain when brushing or flossing, and no bad breath.
Did you know that 60-90% of school children worldwide have dental cavities?
In response to this, Colgate-Palmolive South Africa is running a corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative called “Buy A Brush, Help A Child” in partnership with the Dis-Chem Foundation. “For every toothbrush bought at a participating Dis-Chem pharmacy, a toothbrush, toothpaste and access to information concerning good oral hygiene will be provided to a child in need,” says Savitha Govender, Marketing Manager Oral Care for Colgate-Palmolive South Africa.
“Through raising awareness and initiatives such as this, we can make a difference by coming together and encouraging people to make good oral hygiene a top priority.”
Buy a brush, help a child
Many children in South Africa need help with their teeth. “Dental cavities are the most prevalent childhood condition in our country,” says Colgate Oral Care Professional, Dr Stephanus Crous. “We are faced with an overwhelming burden of treatment that is needed for oral care conditions. Colgate assists our country’s healthcare system to promote good oral hygiene through programmes like the Bright Smiles, Bright Future and the Buy a Brush, Help a Child CSI initiative, by providing oral health education, free toothbrushes and toothpastes to children in grades R-3.”
As part of the Buy a Brush, Help a Child initiative, when children receive their toothbrush and toothpaste, they are taught the importance of practicing good oral hygiene, how to brush their teeth correctly and which foods to eat for healthy teeth and gums. In addition, each child takes a brochure with this information home to their parents, and their teachers receive an educational poster for the classroom.
The initiative makes it easy for members of the public to make a difference through one simple action – especially given that it is important to replace your toothbrush on a regular basis. According to Colgate Oral Care Professional, Dr Sam Naidoo, “you should change your toothbrush approximately every three months, as the bristles gradually wear down and then become less effective in removing plaque. Germs can also build up on the brush over time, which may lead to oral care problems. It is also a good idea to change your toothbrush after an illness, to prevent possible reinfection.”
So, all the more reason to buy a brush and help a child today!
Good oral hygiene with Colgate-Palmolive
Dr Naidoo discusses overcoming common oral health conditions:
Tooth sensitivity
If you experience pain when eating hot or cold foods, you could suffer from sensitive teeth.
Sometimes, tooth sensitivity arises from brushing with too much force or using a hard-bristled toothbrush, thereby wearing away enamel, the protective layer that coats teeth.
Other causes of tooth sensitivity are receding gums, and damage caused by consuming highly acidic foods and beverages, such as fizzy drinks.
To help relieve sensitive teeth, use a soft toothbrush and avoid brushing hard. In addition, switching to a toothpaste and mouthwash intended for sensitive teeth may also help to soothe this. If pain continues, visit a dentist.
Gums
The health of your mouth, especially your gums, can affect the rest of your body.
To spot gum problems, look out for some of the following symptoms: gum sensitivity with swelling or redness; bad breath; a bad taste in your mouth; receding gums; and loose or moving teeth.
As always, prevention is better than cure. To encourage good gum health, keep your mouth clean by brushing with a soft bristle toothbrush and flossing. Keep to a healthy diet that includes calcium-rich foods such as dairy products, seeds and sardines, to encourage healthy bones and teeth. If possible, quit smoking and go for regular dental check-ups.
It is important to visit a dentist if you experience painful gums, to prevent further deterioration and possible loss of teeth.
Bad Breath
Bad breath can be embarrassing, but this is a common problem that can usually be easily remedied. The first step is always to practise good oral hygiene – failure to brush and floss your teeth daily allows food debris to remain in your mouth, enabling germs to flourish between the teeth and gums, and on your tongue, thereby causing bad breath.
However, bad breath can sometimes be due to a deeper underlying cause, so if it continues, visit a dentist.
Teeth Whitening
With time, your teeth become yellow from certain foods and drinks. If you are a smoker, this can also cause your teeth to become grey and discoloured. Prevention begins with good oral care habits, such as brushing twice a day, and avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, wine, and dark sauces. Using a toothpaste designed to whiten teeth may also help.
This is where I hang out… I use teeth-whitening toothpaste as I have a nasty coffee habit. I have started using the Optic White from Colgate – so, lets see how it goes 🙂
How should you be brushing your teeth anyway?
Instead of me explaining how we should be brushing our teeth I’m sharing this demonstration from Colgate-Palmolive or you can read it below.
The correct way to brush your teeth as recommended by Colgate-Palmolive South Africa
For effective oral cleaning, use a soft toothbrush with slim, tapered bristles.
Hold the toothbrush horizontally against the teeth, with bristles part-way on the gums.
Tilt the brush at a 450 degree angle, so bristles are pointing under the gum line.
Brush in small circles, focusing on the areas between the gum edge and tooth to gently remove plaque.
Roll or flick brush so bristles move toward the biting edge of the tooth.
Finally brush your tongue gently from back to front.
Rinse with water to complete the procedure.
“Ideally you should change your toothbrush every three months, as the build-up of germs can lead to oral care problems,” says Naidoo. “In addition, frayed bristles are not as effective in removing plaque. I also recommend changing your toothbrush if you have been ill, so as to prevent reinfection.”
There is no easier way to boost confidence than with a bright, beautiful smile. Healthy teeth and gums and fresh breath will have you grinning from ear to ear!

When you get a little older what you did/didn’t do for your skin finally starts to show. However, you can still repair and maintain your skin going forward.
I recently got to test out a product selection suitable for ladies that have reached the 40+ mark (I’m getting a bit personal here). Unfortunately it fell over the last throes of a really bad breakout I had – but turns out that the products actually were exactly what I needed.
I have actually bought the creams and oils from Clicks before as African Rooibos Extracts is really affordable – and you know the Clicks buy 2, get 1 free promotions… I bought some 🙂
I love African Extracts Rooibos because it is affordable, they combine skin care science with proven efficacy of natural plant extracts
This is a long write-up, but it is really worth the read!
Toner – what does it do?
When you do your shopping and you have to stick to a budget, sometimes you skip steps for your skin (because cream is enough) – right?
After you wash your face, you might think your skin is clean… but sometimes there is still leftover makeup, excess oil and whatever else may have been in the air. This is where toner comes in. It is just that extra bit of cleaning and hydrating your skin needs between washing and applying cream.
What makes the African Extracts Rooibos Misting Toner special?
The Advantage Misting Toner has Bio-Active Rooibos extract (*antioxidant that helps to reduce the visible signs of ageing – plus boosts your skins natural defences), aloe vera to soothe and calm, witch hazel to purify and tighten pores, chamomile to fade dark spots and aid cellular regeneration as well as everlasting and daisy flowers to get some radiance going and counter the ageing effects of pollutants.
Use it 3 ways!
After cleaning your face and neck get the toner on your skin. You can apply it more than once if your skin needs refreshing.
Use it to set your makeup! This is a bonus that I haven’t yet tried… (It is on my list to do, because setting spray is expensive.)
Combine with a few drops of your Advantage Repair Facial Oil Spray on a cotton pad to remove your makeup effortlessly.
The features you need to know about:

Tissue Oil
Don’t roll your eyes at me, every man, woman and child should have good tissue oil within a 20m radius at all times (according to me). I say good because not all tissue oils are created equally – just read the labels.
The African Extracts Rooibos Multi-Purpose Tissue Oil is derived from 100% natural ingredients with no added preservatives, fragrance or colourants. It’s nature in a bottle with regenerative and restorative properties.
So, what is in the African Extracts Rooibos Tissue Oil?
A blend of grapeseed and sweet almond oils with Bio-Active Rooibos extract*, added Vitamin E as well as extracts from rosemary and geranium. The Rooibos extract is from organically grown (in the Cederberg), fresh-cut rooibos and extracted by steam to preserve the highest levels of antioxidants.
Before I go further, let me tell you what has been clinically proven with this product…
It improves the appearance of scars, blemishes, stretchmarks, uneven skin tone, dry and dehydrated skin, fine lines and wrinkles, brittle nails and cuticles, dry and itchy scalp.
It is literally an all-purpose tissue oil! Currently I am using it on my hands, nails, face (acne scars) and décolletage – they say it takes a few weeks to see results, so I’m going to stick it out. You will hear how the results were – I promise.
All the ways in which to use your tissue oil:
The African Extracts Rooibos Multi-Purpose Tissue Oil comes in a 125ml spray bottle (yay!).
You can use it under your day or night cream, just give it some time to get absorbed. It’s not as oily as you might think.
Spray and massage onto your nails and cuticles.
Add a few drops to your bathwater. (My mom used to let us do this when we had sunburns.) It just adds additional food that your skin can absorb to feel extra moisturised.
Apply it to your locks! It is a deep treatment for hair and you can leave it in for just 15 minutes before washing. It really works!
If you are bald and your scalp is dry… just rub a few drops on. You can also apply it after getting your head shaved.
Dry elbows, knees and heels… rub some tissue oil on.
This one is a secret my mom taught me as well… add a few drops into your body lotion. Or if you are feeling lavish, just spray it onto your arms and legs.
If you are in a diet situation, start applying tissue oil over those fatty bits now. It helps the skin when it wants to do that stretch mark thing.
Put it next to the hand was – you feel see the difference when you apply tissue oil after all the water works.
And then… we all know what tissue oil does to scars and blemishes – just put it on a few times a day.
The features you need to know about:

Eye Cream
Who spends that extra bit on eye creams that promise a bag of chips and a side of dip? I’m putting both my hands up. I have had hits, misses and meh luck with eye creams. The most expensive teeny tiny little tube I once bought cost almost 500 bucks and it was just meh.
Why should we be using eye cream you may ask…
The under-eye area is one of the most delicate and vulnerable areas on your body. It is also the place where fine lines like to “make a nest”.
See less of your fine lines
Dark circles going a bit lighter
Under-eye puffiness minimised
This is my actual skin with no make-up and small dots of African Extracts Advantage Regenerating Eye Cream – ready to be dabbed in. I don’t want to scare you on whats happening below my lip line – I’m treating it with the tissue oil (and I will discuss this in another write-up).
Let me tell you more about the African Extracts Advantage Regenerating Cream
It has antioxidant-rich Bio-Active Rooibos*, sea fennel and buckwheat extracts, skin smoothing allantoin (I had to google this one, but it is diureide of glyoxylic acid) and light deflectors for that bright youthful look.
The biggest plus… it comes in a tube with pump! This keeps your cream free from active ingredients like light and air.
The features you need to know about:
Rich in antioxidants
Paraben free
Dermatologically tested
Endorsed by Beauty without Cruelty
Other African Extracts Rooibos testers I have tried:
Intensive Day Cream with SPF 15 for Dry/Mature Skin
It really works well under makeup and is a good moisturiser.
Gentle Refining Polish for Dry/Mature Skin
Polish is just a fancy word for exfoliate, but it is a really nice one to use!
Verdict…
If you want a pocket-friendly skin range that actually gives results, then African Extracts Rooibos should be on your shopping list. I will be squeezing every last drop from every tube and bottle.
I have also given my mom and sister cream samples and they both loved it. I will never trust those 2 alone near my African Extracts products…

Last week Lexa, Sandton and I had so much fun “unboxing”. It was maybe more like her taking the games in and out of the box and Sandton trying to grab it – but it was so cute.
Check out the end of the post for a competition 🙂
Lexa is turning 2 this year, but she is quite advanced and we are continuously trying to challenge her by introducing new toys and activities. So when I got my hands on the Peppa Pig Dominoes it seemed like the perfect way to teach her about matching up pictures and waiting for her turn.
It has become quite clear that it is always colder on the weekend and then we don’t want to take Lexa out and board games are perfect for staying home and having fun. I checked out the list of new games that forms part of the Prima Toys Games Festival – they look awesome.
My favourites include anything that says Disney, Minnie, lion/cat, L.O.L and Rummikub as well as Rubik’s Cube. (My gran used to love playing Rummikub and she made all of us play with her. So every time I take out my set it reminds me of those wonderful times with her.)
Let’s start with the toys I received from Prima Toys:
Peppa Pig Dominoes
Who doesn’t love dominoes? Outwitting your opponent and getting all your tiles down… it’s such a thrill. Plus the cute little Peppa Pig faces that stare back at you, it is just such a great game for kids.
Dominoes is a popular game and now you can play with your favourite pre-school character – Peppa Pig. The game contains brightly coloured picture dominoes for the little ones to enjoy, which will also help to develop memory skills. For ages 3 and over, for 2 to 4 players. RSP: R139.99
Disney Junior Surprise Slides
This is a version of Snakes & Ladders but instead of a dice you spin the wheel and whichever colour you land is where your play piece moves to. Plus you can change the slides so it is shorter or longer.
I really love this game because Lexa can’t count or read yet, but we can now teach her colours!
Race along the twisty trail with your Disney Junior friends! Zip along a colorful path featuring familiar faces from your favorite Disney Junior shows! Visit the imaginative worlds of Doc McStuffins, Sofia the First, Mickey’s Clubhouse and Jake and the Never Land Pirates! Shortcut slides zoom you ahead, or push you backward! You’ll never know when the tiles in the game board will mix and flip. It’s a different game each time you play! RSP: R229.99
Minnie Play & Learn Educational Game
I love puzzles and Miss Little Hands really tries to get the pieces to fit. She is quite good at understanding that certain things go together – and unlike me she attempts to pack away stuff neatly.
This puzzle activity pack is ideal for ages 3 and older. Each puzzle features Minnie and Daisy on fun adventures. Little girls who are Disney fans will love this set! Ideal for ages 3 plus. RSP: R69.99 available at toy stores and retailers.
