Carrier Review: Soul Slings' Ring Sling Celadon

Carrier Review: Soul Slings' Ring Sling Celadon - Handwoven

post washed and braided for almost a week to break in

Soul Slings' tester stash: pre-washed

Type of Carrier: Soul Slings’ Ring Sling

Wrap details: Celadon (teal green); 100% cotton – handwoven; 28 inches wide and 83 Inches long

Wrappee: BabyG (boy)– 10 months – 10kgs/22 lbs

Wrapper: small – chubby build

First glance – It was stiff and neatly ironed when I first had my hands on Celadon. It seemed unyielding to my molding powers as I braided it to be less “beastly”. Like most 100% cotton handwoven wraps, this needs more breaking in compared to Sapphire 100% linen which was lightweight, floppy and a tad slippy. Once broken in, Celadon is very supportive and essentially maintains grip to lock your sling position in place.

Design – 100% cotton blend can be a little thicker compared to its linen sling sisters. Yet still breathable but not as cool and breezy like linen. Celadon with white stripes is, again, gender neutral.

Weather/season – I recommend wearing this on a windy day if you stay in tropical places. Good with different seasons but not toasty enough for autumn or winter, so layer up accordingly.

Our little sling meet - SPiN mommies (mostly from Las Pinas)

One SPiN Mommy tried Celadon for her 9 week old baby girl after the flash mob.

She said that the Celadon felt nice and grippy on the shoulder and her squish is snug as a bug.

note: she changed from SSC to a Ring sling without waking up baby ;)

Type/s of carry – mostly front carries; when I had some Mommy friends try it during our little sling meet and after our first Babywearing Flash mob in the Philippines (by South Pinanays group), most of them, first timers and experienced sling Mommas alike, raved how supportive it is on the shoulder and the carry itself.

Mummy budget –it’s yours for around $31, what a deal!

Sunny summary – 4.5 sprinkles of sleepy “soulful” dust – toddler worthy!

Great Image Family Photoshoot

The Christmas Holiday is fast approaching and it is a perfect time for families to get their photos taken. There are many options to choose from and we got ours from Great Image Studios. We went to Beloved Studios in Megamall which is also a sub-company of Great Images. We were accommodated by their manager, A and Joan, the photographer. They made us feel at ease and were very patient with giving us instructions and they especially loved working with Baby G. I can definitely say they are experienced with handling little kids with their energetic process of capturing memorable shots. Their photoshoot session starts as low as 350php. Great deal, right? The photos below are our high resolution digital files and we got ours sooner than we expected. :) The D'Towns are looking forward to our printed shots - will post them as soon as we get them!

A Chat with a Top Model: Chesca Lagua

Benefit and Mommievents recently paired up and created a workshop called The Ultimate Guide to Being a Benefit Babe at the dainty Benefit store in Alabang Town Center. Franchesca Lagua is one of the event ambassadors alongside DJ Sexy Megan from Yes FM. Chesca graced us with her top model presence and with an extra helping of sky high legs and ultra lean figure from Shanna Retuya (ramp/commercial/Philippine Fashion week model). Although the pair towered all of us, they were the most down-to-earth darlings. They were up for selfies and quick chats with participants. I took the opportunity to take a selfie with Chesca which would seemingly look like Lady Galadriel and a hobbit would photograph together. She hunched halfway as I tiptoed, tilted and angled my phone so both of us can fit into the frame. Before I transform this feature into some LOTR geekery, here's the score on Chesca's make-up go-to and the real deal on Asia's Next Top Model:
