Survival Hax

Summer is just around the corner so it is time to make sure your First Aid Kits are stocked up or even buy a new one. This is a great one for your car, hiking, camping, biking, traveling. You just never know when an accident will happen, so it is always good to be semi prepared.

I love that this is compact and has so much to offer from a blanket, to supplies, and evena fire starter so you can stay warm if something were to happen to keep you out in the evening or in the cold. This kit is great for campers as well, think scouts to have on hand in their hiking bags.

Cat Tourniquet Giveaway

Having a bleeding disorder is never any fun but having children on top of yourself having it is even scarier. We have been dealing with it for some time and we found out that most EMT and ambulances do not have Tourniquets on their vehicles so we were instructed to actually have one in our home first aid kit just in case. A little extra peace of mind is just what we needed.

I hope never to actually have to use it but we are planning on teaching the children how to use one in case of emergency and if help comes to instruct them where the tourniquet is. This is a nice tourniquet that has everything you need to help someone in case of extreme blood loss.

AZSPORT Kinesiology Tape

This is an item that would be nice to have in your first aid or sporting bag to keep yourself in the game. I am a mother of children who have pushed themselves in sports so much that sometimes they are in pain after. As a mother I don't condone this but when they really love the game, you want them to be happy and sometimes that means letting them back out on the court or field even against your better judgement.

Here is were products like Kinesiology Tape come into play. These products are awesome and really work. Now when my daughter wants to go back out into the game I know she will be protected more then if she didn't have anything on and this will also help her heal faster from muscle strain.

Cool Gel N Cap Warm/Cold Compress

Where was this when my older children were growing up. So much more useful then the booboo bunny which is also very cute but just does not cover as big an area as the Cool Gel N Cap. I wanted to see what size heads this would fit and I am glad to report it fits although a bit big from my youngest grand daughter who is one all the way up to my twelve year old although she would not let me take a picture of her with it on. 

Below you can see a picture of my 7 year old with it on and there was still lots of room left. I like that this is soft, can be used with the cold packs either on the head or held in a different area of the body. I like the strap that keeps the cap on and that you can change where you want the cool packs so that it will be able to rest on the sore spot. 

If you have young children with head or ear aches this is what you need. The paks are freezer and microwave safe so you can always keep one in the freezer and one at room temperature ready to heat up in a moments notice, to help you ease your children's pain. 

Being a mom of 6 children and running a child care for years this would have been a great item to have when we stated out being parents over 24 years ago. No one wants to see their child in pain. We all want to make them better right away. This is a great way to make them feel better while having your arms free for hugs and snuggling while the Cool Gel N Cap does all of the pain relieving. 

You can purchase the Cool Gel N Cap here or on Amazon.

What Cool Gel N Caps has to say about their product.
The Only First Aid Cap For Kids√  Naturally soothe your kids age 1+ bumps, bruises, fever symptoms, migraines, headaches, ear infection symptoms, and more in a fun, easy, and effective way with the Cool Gel N Cap.
√  Why buy just ice packs, cold packs, or warm packs when you can have a Cool Gel N Cap?
√  The gel packs that come with your Cool Gel N Cap can be used ANYWHERE it hurts, inside or out of the cap, anywhere on the body.  AND… the non-toxic, latex free gel packs can be used cold AND warm, unlike conventional ice packs or cold packs.  This gives you the benefit of both a cold compress & warm compress for anywhere it hurts AND a cozy cap!
√  The Cool Gel N Cap is more comfortable on the head for your child than a traditional ice pack, cold pack, or especially a bag of frozen vegetables as the fabric is not only designed to be cozy, but also remove the sting of ice packs on the skin while letting the cool and warm therapy still get through.  The first aid cap is also designed to eliminate condensation associated with cold packs and ice packs.
√  Reduces swelling and relieves pain from head to toe.
√  Works perfectly as a cold compress or warm compress.  Freezer & Microwave safe.
√  The gel packs are non toxic, water soluble, & latex free.  Also reusable!
√  Machine washable:  The cozy first aid cap can be washed over and over.
√  The cold compress of the Cool Gel N Cap is great for little ones suffering from Hemophilia, as its cooling gel packs slow the flow of blood to the affected area.
√  The Cool Gel N Cap is also a cozy solution for kids suffering from Dravet Syndrome as it is a comfortable way to keep cool during a fever.
