Who doesn't like an awesome BBQ in the summer?? Great tools are very helpful when you want to do some summer entertaining.

I was excited to have the opportunity to review another great product from Cave Tools!!





We really LOVE this stainless steel spatula from Cave Tools!  I have been through so many BBQ spatulas during summer time due to quality.  Many spatulas I have had in the past had plastic handles that would either end up breaking or somehow get melted from getting set too close to a flame.  

This spatula is of very high quality.  It is a solid sturdy tool to use inside your home and out.  We have used it inside with our cast iron griddle and outside with our grill.  I really like the nice design of this spatula.  Not only does it have a great look but it also has great features.  It has a bottle opener feature handy for those of you that have a drink by your side while grilling during the summer.  No need to have an extra item lying around in your way to use for that purpose.  




Cave Tools Stainless Steel Spatula also has a serrated edge that I really like for those pesky packages you take out to the grill and forget something to open the package with.  This edge is great for cutting those packages right open.  It is also great for cutting your meat open a little bit to check how cooked your meat is.  The serrated edge on this spatula has many other great uses.  I really like that this spatula acts as many tools in one.  





Of course, we also really love that this spatula is dishwasher safe!!  This makes it great for people like me who are lazy and hate the "by hand" dishes.  It came out very clean after just one time through the dishwasher.  

The only thing that I wish is that it came with a little plastic box or something to put it in.  It can be pretty sharp around that serrated edge and I don't want to just leave it in a drawer for my kids to get cut on.  (I don't have many storage solutions at my home.) My husband ended up keeping the box to store it in because the box was really nice and made of great cardboard that wasn't at all flimsy.  Although my storage situation, the storage of the spatula would not be a deal breaker for me.  I would buy and recommend this spatula to anyone!!  We really love this quality spatula!! 







For those summer BBQs and with 4th of July coming up I recommend you check this product out for your family or a great gift.  This spatula could even make a great wedding gift if you know anyone getting married this summer season.

Just a few months ago I shared the happy news that we were adding a new addition to our family.  We have since welcomed that beautiful baby into our lives.  There are so many things that have been helpful along the way.  I just wanted to take some time today and share one of those things with you.

I had never been one for perineal massage with my previous pregnancies.  I decided this time around I was going to give it a try.  It was something that was worth a try after tearing with my previous pregnancies in addition to getting an episiotomy and having a more difficult recovery.

A little bit about perineal massage and BabyIt Comfort Gel:






What is Perineal Massage Anyway? Perineal massage is a daily massage that helps prevent trauma to vaginal tissues during childbirth, and helps postpartum recovery go a little more smoothly. Perineal massage has also been shown in studies to reduce the need for episiotomy during childbirth and to diminish postpartum pain during sex.  

What Makes BabyIt Great?
  • BabyIt is isotonic, meaning its salt concentration is perfectly balanced to match your vaginal cells. Other products are hypertonic or hypotonic, causing water to be either sucked into — or out of — vaginal cells, leading to serious irritation and tissue damage.

  • BabyIt contains NO parabens, oils, or glycerol.

  • Each box includes detailed instructions on how to perform perineal massage.





MY REVIEW:

I decided BabyIt Perineal Massage & Postpartum Comfort Gel would be a great product to give a try in an effort to improve my birthing experience this time around.  I was very happy to have the opportunity to review this product.  I was able to do some perineal massage for just a couple of weeks.  I personally feel weird doing it and I found it a little painful (maybe I wasn't doing it right), but now that I have tried it I feel like it was worth the try.  I ended up delivering my baby 3 weeks early due to some complications so I wasn't able to use the product as long as I would have liked before my delivery.  The gel has a very smooth and slimy texture, but it isn't oily.  It was comfortable to use and I didn't feel like it just sticking around forever.

I am happy to report that during my delivery I actually didn't tear at all this time in addition to the episiotomy!! Not additionally tearing made my experience better.  I can't say for sure if it was strictly due to using the product and doing the perineal massage but I am sure that the combination of everything really helped in my delivery process.  This also made for a better recovery.


Due to the fact that I wasn't able to use this gel as much as I would have liked before delivery my favorite use for it was actually for after delivery.  It was so soothing for the healing process to use as a moisturizer with the witch hazel pads I was using.  Since this gel isn't oily it washes off your hands very well after application.  Which is very nice compared to many other products.  I like to put this gel in the refrigerator to cool it a little in order to dull the pain a little more and provide more pain relief.  Kind of like what you would do with aloe gel after a sunburn.  After I refrigerated it then I actually applied it to the pads I wore.  This was great to keep my stitches moist so they never felt any "itch" from the healing process.  I also healed a lot quicker this time around and my pain level was very low compared with my previous deliveries.  

This product to me was definitely worth the try.  I really like this product for after delivery and would buy it to use if I ever deliver another baby.
 It was very comforting and helpful to me after delivery.  If you are pregnant or know someone who is pregnant I would suggest you consider trying this product out.
