Tortle, the Pediatrician developed Lightweight Baby Beanie Designed to Prevent or Treat Flat Head Syndrome Now Available on Target.Com

Treat Flat Head Syndrome with the Tortle

Many babies have the look and sometimes no matter what you do, you can't get rid of that flat baby head look. My nephew's baby had a flat head and still does at the age of 1 but other than telling him to keep turning the baby, there wasn't much else that could be done. I wasn't around them so I have no idea how the baby spent most of his time so other than advising, that was it until now. This product called the Tortle is now available at Target.com.

Here is the news release to find out more:

Denver, Colorado--(January 2013) -- Tortle Products, LLC, manufacturer of Tortle, the lightweight knit beanie that helps prevent and treat Flathead Syndrome, announced today that Tortle will now be available on Target.com beginning January 1, 2013.

Target.com will carry three Tortle designs; Blue Elephant, Pink Flowers and Solid White. The Tortle beanies are available in medium and large sizes at a suggested retail price of $19.99.

Developed by Dr. Jane Scott, a Board Certified Pediatrician and Neonatologist, the Tortle beanie is an FDA-cleared patented Class 1 medical device that promotes proper head and neck movement which is essential for appropriate development. Tortle helps prevent and treat early stages of flat head syndrome: plagiocephaly (the flattening of the baby’s skull) & torticollis (unbalanced neck muscles). Tortle works by gently deflecting a baby’s head from side to side when they are sitting or lying on the back of their head. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends regular head repositioning of babies younger than six months.

“Every baby is at risk of developing Flat Head Syndrome with one out of two babies being diagnosed with the Syndrome,” said Dr. Jane Scott. “Through Target.com we will have an opportunity to further increase awareness of Flat Head Syndrome and the ease in which it can be prevented or treated.”

The incidence of Plagiocephaly and Torticollis (or Flathead syndrome) has increased to epidemic proportions since 1992 with more than a million babies being diagnosed with the condition each year in the U.S. alone. This is due to their lack of movement and the amount of time infants spend on their back (the safest place for them to be). If left untreated, there can be long-standing problems. Treatment is frequently expensive and can be somewhat uncomfortable for a baby. Plagiocephaly and Torticollis are almost 100% preventable with repositioning and Tortle makes this safe and easy. It is recommended that all newborns wear a Tortle for the first 6 months of life to support healthy development.

Dr. Scott, whose specialty is Pediatrics and Neonatology, is recognized as an expert in the areas of Plagiocephaly and Torticollis. In her nearly 30 years as a practicing physician, Dr. Scott has counseled and educated hundreds of parents to help prevent as well as treat the many problems associated with Flathead Syndrome. Dr. Jane’s mission is to prevent Flathead Syndrome-an epidemic affecting the babies across the world. Please visit tortle.com for more information.

Getting the Holiday Look with Mary Kay® #MKTrend

Are you ready for the holidays? Do you have your picture taken for Christmas cards? If you said yes to either one, you are in luck with the great new looks from Saucy Glossie blogger Lindsey and Mary Kay that brings back that vintage, classic look. I love all the looks ranging from Flapper Chic to the White Hot Suit to Silver Screen Siren. Check out all the vintage holiday look with Mary Kay here. I received a really nice complimentary Mary Kay make up set to inspire my interpretation of the look. I had all the tools I needed to recreate while adding my own flare to the favorites. I can honestly say that I wished I had somewhere to go for the Silver Screen Siren look but nothing says I have to go anywhere to achieve the look. Luckily, I have an older daughter that I was able to apply my "creation" on her with a vintage Flapper Chic style for her Christmas card pictures she took.

For starters, I had her use the Mary Kay® make up remover which is wonderful because it's non-greasy unlike others that I've used. We used the Mary Kay® Foundation Primer Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 15* to protect her skin. It went on smooth and helps your make up stay one longer. Next, we started with the Mary Kay® Translucent Loose Powder. I loved the container because it allowed you to twist the top open to shake out the amount of powder you want to use while being able to re-close it. This is always nice so you don't have powder going everywhere when you open and close the lid. I used a great blend of shades in dark hues highlighted in white with the Mary Kay At Play™ Baked Eye Trio in Tuxedo. To complete the smoldering look, we outlined the tops of the eyes with Mary Kay® Eyeliner in Black, and finish with Mary Kay® Lash Love® Mascara in Black. We kept the eyes for the pictures less smoldering since they were taken in the daylight. She normally wears darker eye make up and with just an extra amount of eyeliner around the rims and darker shades on the lids, she could wear this out on the night.

Mary Kay® #MKTrend - Subtle but natural look

To accentuate her eyes while not taking away from her cheeks and lips, we used Mary Kay® Mineral Cheek Color in Shy Blush and Mary Kay® NouriShine Plus® Lip Gloss in Café au Lait. The best part of all was the brush set as my daughter was just saying how she wanted one. They are soft where they need to be soft and harder for application such as lining the eyes. The Special-Edition Mary Kay® Lash Spa would make a perfect stocking stuffer or gift for your loved one. There wasn't one product that I didn't like or love. Here is my look using the same products and hues.

My Mary Kay® #MKTrend Look

I'm still trying out the Mary Kay® Lash & Brow Building Serum® so I'll have to provide a later update on how it works but I can say compared to a couple of other brands I have tried, it does not irritate or blur my eyesight so that is a huge plus! It's easy to apply and can't wait for the results. I also like the Mary Kay® Lash Primer and Mary Kay® Lash Love® Mascara in Black as it really added volume and depth to my eyelashes.

A few of the other products I fell in love with and that completed the package are the Mary Kay® Eye Primer, Mary Kay® Lip Primer and Mary Kay® Makeup Finishing Spray by Skindinävia. This is the most amazing package of 'make me beautiful' products I have received and I'm sold on Mary Kay®.

You can achieve the same look, pamper yourself or pick up some holiday gifts by checking out Mary Kay® here.

*Disclosure: I received the complimentary product(s) from Mary Kay® through Conde Nast. The opinions are of my own.

Our Adorable Baby Clothing Dresses for Christmas

I just love www.adorablebabyclothing.com and it's my go to online store every Christmas and other holidays and special events. The dresses are just phenomenal. They are typically made in the US as to date, I've never had one that wasn't. They are made with multiple layers providing for a beautiful full effect without having to wear anything under to fluff it out. They are also wrinkle resistant and can endure being packed away and can be fluffed back out in seconds with your hands. I've already been passing the dresses down to my grand daughter since I've been a repeat customer since my youngest was four. I'm not only a customer but I'm a friend to the owner who is a single mom and grandmother of this shop. She strives for customer satisfaction and goes that extra mile. You can win a $50 gift card to Adorable Baby Clothing by clicking on this link.
