Save the Sleeve! Boogie Wipes Review & Giveaway!

One thing I cannot stand during cold and flu season? The dreaded runny (or even worst, crusted up) noses. I mean, when a little ones nose is running or dried up, it can be miserable trying to keep it wiped up!  That was the thought of Boogie moms Mindee Doney & Julie Pickens! They were so tired of having to chase down kids to get their noses wiped up, that they thought "What can we do to fix this?"  The answer was Boogie Wipes!  They are wipes containing saline, which breaks down the mucus and leaves the nose clean and without irritation.   These moms took it from home to a booming business! Boogie Wipes are sold in stores across America! They come in great packs perfect for the diaper bag or home, as well as on the go packs, small enough to throw a few in your purse or even a pocket! Truly on the go convenience!

Saline works because when crusty boogies are on your little one's nose, saline is the only great defense!  Saline breaks down mucus quickly, and that is why saline is used in nasal spray.  But of course, nasal spray and little ones? Hahaha! Don't think so!  If any of you have a kid that takes nasal spray with out complaining,please let me know! Mine are like terrified of the stuff!! Boogie wipes help to break down the icky stuff, and keep the nose clean and non irritated. That is the biggest problem I have with kleenex and even baby wipes. It irritates the nose with the constant wiping of the nose. With boogie wipes,I have used them for the entire duration of my little one's cold and her nose never got red and painful. I have even used these wipes when I have been sick to prevent my own nose from being irritated! Every time I get a real bad cold, my nose will end up peeling and in pain from the constant blowing and wiping.  So these wipes really work and are a great thing to have wherever you go!

Earlier I mentioned I had used Boogie Wipes on my own nose. Other moms must have too, because the creators of Boogie Wipes have created Achooz, a saline wipe for adults!

When colds and allergies set in, all the blowing and wiping with regular tissues can leave your nose feeling sore, red and raw. Now, you can make your nose happy with Achooz Saline Nose Wipes, the next generation in tissue.™

The Boogie Mom's team of doctors and chemists (and the stuffy noses of the Boogie Moms), created their unique non-medicated formula to break down mucus and soothe the nose while wiping. It includes the same gentle, patent-pending magic of saline, vitamin E and aloe as the Boogie Wipe products and is available in Fragrance Free for everyday use and Cool Menthol for extra stuffy noses.

Boogie Wipes has a current campaign to Save the Sleeve! No more kids wiping their noses on their shirt or jacket sleeves! Go to SavetheSleeve.com and make the pledge with your child to save their sleeve! They learn some gross facts about boogies, take the pledge, and get a special prize!!

Ocean Complete Sinus Irrigation®

Sometimes when you have a nasal problem, a nasal spray just isn't enough.  So you need to irrigate those nostrils!! (Yeah, I know. Sounds kinda icky!!)  A lot of  nasal irrigation systems require you to mix it yourself, use a squeeze bottle....it can get a bit messy!! So Ocean has come out with the Ocean Complete Sinus Irrigation system!! It has sterile saline, all bottled and ready for use for sinus irrigation or a moisturizing mist!  The unique salt blend formula irrigates your sinus while moisturizing, which is important! Anyone who has ever had a bad cold knows how dry your nose can get, and it can get painful!! It can also help if your have allergies, the flu, or sinusitis.  Any situation that leaves you with dry, irritated nasal passages is a good time to use Ocean complete.


The irrigator is easy to use.  Simply keep the head of the bottle upright, insert the actuator tip just inside your nostril, and press down 1-3 seconds to get a burst of saline, which flows consistently.  Caution, some of the saline may run back down your throat or even out the other nostril!! It is recommended to use twice on each side, or as often as needed to find relief.  The irrigation system includes an orange tip for the irrigation/flushing of the nostrils.

The system also includes a white tip for use for moisturizing when needed.  The process is the same as the irrigation.  The difference is that the white tip releases a fine mist that gently moisturizes, while the orange tip delivers a larger volume stream for irrigation of the sinuses.  Whichever type of relief you need, you can use the same bottle and simply change the tip accordingly!


Even though its summer time, you can still catch a cold. There is nothing fun about 100 degree weather and a stuffy nose. To help ease that stuffy feeling, you can use a saline nasal spray!!  If your nose is dry and irritated, or stuffy from being sick, allergies or other medications, you can use a nasal spray to find relief. Ocean Premium Saline Nasal Spray® is safe enough for frequent daily use, yet is the quality of a  pharmaceutical grade spray.   It is a non medicated spray, which is even gentle enough for infants!!  Ocean® brand spray is recommended most by doctors, and is really easy to use.
  

Ocean® also has a specially formulated spray for infants to 12 years old, called Ocean for Kids®.  These sprays are drug free, and the child's spray is extra moisturizing.  It even has a child sized applicator to ensure you can get it done quickly!  This can be used to relieve discomfort from sinus drainage, nasal congestion, or dry irritated nasal passages due to colds, flu, allergies and dry polluted air.
