Hearing this is the Only Sunscreen to Have! Launched this Month…
June 14, 2013 by admin

SkinCeuticals, the industry’s leading authority in antioxidant skincare, offers scientifically proven protection against photo-ageing by combining a sunscreen with a topical antioxidant, providing unparalleled protection for skin.

Exposure to the sun’s rays create highly reactive, unstable oxygen molecules in the skin called Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) which can deplete the body’s own antioxidant supply, accelerating skin ageing, such as fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and loss of elasticity. It can also lead to more serious skin health issues Continue Reading

I’ve given myself more to do. Unavoidable really as it’s Mr Pregnantcitygirl’s Birthday. Our bank balance wasn’t what it was when I spent every day trudging in and out of the City at silly hours so less money = more effort! We have a BBQ every birthday. He is a BBQ nut, so no presents this year just a big party. Continue Reading

A Guest Post for a Deserving Charity Tie-Up – Action Against Hunger & Michiko and Me
June 10, 2013 by admin

Michiko and Me announces charity partnership with Action Against Hunger

A commitment to help end child hunger
British childrenswear brand Michiko and Me is pleased to announce its support of Action Against Hunger, an international humanitarian organisation committed to ending child hunger. Michiko and Me will provide year round support by making a generous donation on each product sold to Action Against Hunger. Donation amounts will range from £1 to £5 per product and to celebrate the launch of the partnership, Michiko and Me will apply this donation across their entire product range.Nicky Lumb, founder of Michiko and Me says, “Our Michiko and Me designs are based on a principle of growing as the child grows. This notion of our children growing happily and healthily is a privilege that we often take for granted. Most of us are fortunate enough to be able to feed our children but this is not the case for all families around the world. Knowing you cannot feed your child is so painful, which is why Michiko and Me wanted to back a charity that supports children and families in the struggle against hunger. Action Against Hunger’s work includes saving malnourished children’s lives and improving families access to food and clean water for the future, making them the perfect charity for us to partner with.”Caroline Chaplin, Senior Corporate Fundaising Officer at Action Against Hunger, says, “We’re delighted to be working with Michiko and Me in this innovative way. Not only will it help raise vital funds for our work, but the added exposure we gain through the partnership will help educate more people about the devastating impact of child hunger and the steps that we can all take to help defeat it.”Michiko and Me will start making a donation to Action Against Hunger with every sale through their website www.michikoandme.com from the 01st of June . This will also apply to brand new products such as their Iroka dress (detail pictured above). Action Against Hunger’s logo and website links are clearly featured on the Michiko and Me website and social media sites to help raise awareness and further promote this partnership.Support can be shown by spreading the word and sharing our posts on Facebook www.facebook.com/MichikoandMe and Twitter @MichikoandMe.

CASE STUDY: Eight-month-old Idrissa, Niger:

A mixture of drought and on-going poverty has resulted in depleting crops and rising food prices and Idrissa’s mother has been struggling to feed her family. Sadly, her little boy developed severe acute malnutrition – the most deadly type of hunger. He was close to dying when he was brought to Action Against Hunger’s feeding centre but luckily he reached the team just in time. Continue Reading
