Competition: Win £40 worth of skincare products from Yes To

The days are getting shorter and with autumn and winter knocking on the door, it's only a matter of time until you snuggle up in wooly jumpers and roast in front of the radiator. But did you know that it's the change from cold air outside and warm air inside that makes your skin dry and sensitive?

To help you through the winter months and make sure that your skin stays glowing and nourished, Mummy Alarm has teamed up with Yes To to offer you the chance to win a Yes To skincare package worth over £40.

Yes To's deliciously nourishing formulas combine high quality organic fruits and vegetables with the power of 26 minerals and trace elements and leave your skin feeling great with an unmistakable healthy glow.

Begin the day by using Lycopene-enriched Yes To Tomatoes Terrific Totally Tranquil Facial Hydrating Lotion (50ml, RRP £12.35) rich in tomatoes, an essential source of Vitamin A and C that also encourages a fresh shine-free complexion, and Rosemary, a natural antioxidant.

Give the skin a serious moisture boost, with Yes To Carrots Night Moisturising Cream (50ml, RRP £12.35), which contains a host of antioxidants such as Beta Carotene, Vitamin E and Green Tea, with purifying dead sea minerals to help replenish and refresh during the night. Waking up never looked so good!

After a chilly Autumn day, Yes To Cucumbers Calming Facial Mask (48g, RRP £11.99) gives tired skin a gentle boost of nourishment and helps reduce puffiness, whilst the Yes To Cucumbers Facial Towelettes (30, RRP £4.99) contain cooling Cucumbers, Aloe Vera and Green Tea to detoxify and rejuvenate all in one swift swipe!

Competition: Win one of three pairs of Bobux

From birth to three, little feet undergo an enormous amount of change. Whether crawling, toddling or walking, a child’s footwear needs to support healthy, natural development.

Bobux, a leading New Zealand innovator in children’s footwear, draws on both science and working with globally renowned specialists and natural health researchers to create eco-friendly footwear that allows unrestricted development as babies and toddlers grow. Bobux offer three ranges of footwear based around the philosophy that children do better when they’re comfortable, happy and free to develop as nature intended. Each shoe is designed to support key stages of a child’s development from crawling to walking.

Soft Sole (indoor wear) 

The first ever soft-soled elasticated leather baby shoe was created in 1991 by Bobux founder Chris Bennett. These are soft, breathable and flexible shoes for babies of 0 to 27 months. Made with eco-leather and non-toxic stitching and dyes. With a unique elastic ankle support, these Bobux originals works with little feet as they grip the floor, flex muscles and spread toes, assisting in crawling and making those first steps as easy as possible. The fun, colourful soft sole designs also work to stimulate little minds just as they’re starting to take in visual information. It’s like having a mobile on the end of their legs!

Pre-walk (outdoor wear)

They feature a revolutionary duo-flex sole (leather round the edges and rubber underneath) to support but not restrict natural movement during those first few steps. The pre-walk range consists of sandals, ballet shoes and sport shoes.

i-walk (outdoor wear)

A soft, flexible rubber-sole shoe with extra grip that conforms to the natural walking motion of little feet allowing them to grow and explore without restriction, avoiding malformation and spinal issues later in life. The i-walk range consists of sneakers, loafers, casual shoes and sandals.

Please, use separate comments for each entry. Failure to do so will result in only one entry per person. 

How to enter:

1. If you want to win a pair of your choice, fill in your details in this competition form, pop over to Bobux's website and leave me a comment telling me which pair you would like to win and why.

Mummy Alarm Competition: Win 2 copies of 'Shoot the Baby"

Shoot the Baby is a beautifully presented book offering advice on how to take great photos of babies and toddlers – and we have two copies to give away. Ideal for the amateur photographer, it is packed with tips, advice and composition ideas, presented in a light-hearted style to help parents to capture the best of those precious first years. Shoot the Baby bridges the gap between novice photographer and keen hobbyist - a market which hasn't been addressed by photography books to date. The advice and ideas in the book work with a full range of cameras from mobile phone to digital SLR. No additional expensive equipment is required to take advantage of the tips to create stunning baby photos.

The book is split into two key sections: top tips and composition ideas – with beautiful images used throughout. The tips are written succinctly in list format and cover a range of topics such as planning, lighting, props and how to encourage a winning smile.
The second half of the book - ‘The Subject Matters’ - gives fully illustrated ideas for suggested shots and key milestones to capture such as the first haircut, tooth, birthday, Christmas – and shoes.
Shoot the Baby’s humorous style and winning images mean it can be enjoyed by anyone who loves children; photographers and non-photographers alike. Published by Vero Press, Shoot the Baby is available on www.amazon.co.uk and www.shootthebaby.co.uk at a cost of £12.99.

How to enter the competition:

1. If you were a paparazzi, which celebrity would you like to take a picture of and why?

Review and Competition: Win 1 of 10 Father's Day Toastabag

It's Father's Day on Sunday and I've been thinking for weeks on what to get my better half for this very special day - it's his first Father's Day after all. I have come up with a couple of ideas on how to put a smile on his face and these are certainly going to help with mission "Make Daddy smile":

They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, so I'll make the brave way into the kitchen (in our house it's Mummy who is lacking in the kitchen department) to try and rustle up a gorgeous Father's Day sandwich for Daddy. For once I am optimistic that I'll succeed, because the system behind these Father's Day toastabags is really simple: Pop hot snacks from fish fingers to pizza slices or even chips into the bag and toast it until hot. Easy, don't you think? The same principle does also work for sandwiches and even naan-breads & Co.The limited edition pack for Father's Day comes with Dads’ Favourites recipe booklet and two gold, re-usable Toastabags (up to 100 uses). It is available at www.toastabags.com and is priced at just £ 1.99 great value for money.

How to enter the competition:

1. Leave a comment telling me what you would pop into the Father's Day toastabag - required
