Mama’s range..I love that! A range especially for Mummy’s, not gorgeous products that are supposed to be for your little one but for me, all me, and oh how I like to indulge. So when Tina from Loved by Parents asked me to test out Shea Mooti’s Mama range I happily obliged!
I got to try out Mama’s soothing leg and foot cream and Mama’s Everything Body Balm.
I shall start with the…
Leg and foot cream
Like most Mummy’s I am on my feet most of the day. The old ‘lets sit and have a cup of tea’ I don’t think really happens until they are about 5 and can play independently. It is constant picking up, putting down, wiping noses, bending, walking to and from pre-school, the shops, the park and to save my feet I have deserted my beautiful heels and opted for flat boots. Basically, by the end of the day my legs aches and my feet burn….and I am not even pregnant!
This product contains Aloe Vera, which as soon as you put it on has that delightful cooling effect. The Shea Butter helps to moisturise, and it really does. My feet are my worst ever feature. They area square brick, with hairy toes that I have to shave and are hard as leather with all their wear and tear. My husband takes the mickey and calls them my hobbit feet, but even he commented on their softness.
It is a beautiful consistency of cream and goes on leaving a clean rather than greasy but leaves such a soft feeling, which will be the fact that contains shea butter and it absorbs brilliantly. It has a very pleasant smell but it is kind of clinical but then I read that it contains Niaouli oil, which has antiseptic properties and this then made perfect sense. The antiseptic properties are perfect for feet that might be sore, blistered or chapped.
I have been so cheeky over the past few weeks whilst testing this cream as I keep asking hubby for foot massages, saying it is all for the blog! He hates my feet so it must be love.
When my husband finally says that the timing is ok to have another baby, I will be indulging in some more of this as my feet got so hot and swollen and also really itchy and I also suffered from restless leg syndrome. I think if I massaged this into my legs and feet it would really relieve the symptoms, but that is a guess as I am not pregnant (boo hoo – I have been told I have to wait to next year after my sister’s wedding) but I really THINK it would.
Then onto the…
Mama’s Everyday Body Balm
Wow what can I say…this was not what I expected. I expected another typical body butter, but no, this is a balm. Think the consistency of lip balm but a million time more supple and luxurious. I have found it to be amazing on all my dry patches, like my elbows, knees and backs of my heels, but more than that, on my scar. I had a partial thyroidectomy following the birth of Noah. Something auto-immune occurred as a result of pregnancy and caused a lump to grow in my thyroid. It got to 8cm by 8cm and so has to be removed as I could not swallow. Anyhow, I digress, basically it scarred really badly and I had to have a course of steroid injections in it, which has helped a lot, but this balm massaged into my neck every day has really reduced the redness.
Smeared over my tummy, it feels warming and indulgent and helps to tone, which considering my lack of appreciation for exercise is always a bonus. I would like to say it is good for stretch marks, but please don’t hate me but I have been one of those lucky so and so’s that never got any. I guess it would be because of how it worked on my neck scar.
It also contains Shea butter and a variety of seed oils and is fragranced with the beautiful smell of lavender. Due to it being so rich, you do not need to use much and as a result you get a lot of use for your money. I just love this product and shall be choosing it over a body lotion any time.
Shea Mooti can also be found on Facebook and Twitter.
So you lucky lot, I have not one but two of these delightful Shea Body Balms to give away! So two winners! Woo hoo!
All you have to do is the follow the instructions below!

My worst feature is my wonky teeth. I tend to have a “plum in the mouth” look on photos as I subconsciously try to hide them.
My worst feature are my feet! I have arthritis in my toes so they are swollen and painful. I can’t wear high heels and where I walk to compensate the skin is really dry and hard – yuk!
hmmmm, now where shall I begin…..I suppose it would be my flabby arms!
@jessies_online
My worst feature would be teeth too! @mummyandbeastie xx
Ooh gosh, this is a tough one! Normally I’d say my lady lumps as I just hate them, but the muffin (ok a whole cake) top is coming in a close second these days!
I hate my flabby stretch marked tummy, I have to remind myself every day that it’s there for 2 very beautiful reasons, but still! I’m @itsamumsworld on Twitter. x
My worst feature is my chunky calves, no matter what size I am they are always huge
@MrsWebster147
I have to agree on the worst feature – I have hobbit feet too!
feet
Mine would have to be my nobbly knees.
Since having children my worst feature is my big jelly belly tummy
I think from my neck to my knees would be my worse parts!!!
@baggiesbabe69
sounds brilliant just what my poor legs need!
My worst part is definitely my arms. However, to put a positive spin on this post.. my bum is huge and I love it lol.
My worse feature is my stomach
its all horrible and flabby!! i get embarassed just looking at it!
Nearing my 30s and still getting spots. Argh!
My stretch marked tummy. I didn’t have them until I was 8 months pregnant and thought I would be lucky but woke up one morning and i had a belly like a tube map! @RedRoseMummy
Everything!
Oh where to start!! Put it this way if I had loads of money I would have my teeth sorted, I have quite small teeth (already been made bigger once with veneers!), and large gums so I would have my gums cut back and a whole set of crowns made!
My worst feature is my nose! But I’d still never have a nose job.
Definitely my belly but I am just too lazy to do something about it…
I have hobbit feet too!! Unfortunately I take after my dad’s body shape! I think my legs are the worst though – mountain climbers legs apparently!!!
My worst feature is two moles on the top of the back of my neck YUCK!!
@golfings1

After 3 kiddies my worst feature is most definitely my tummy!
Thanks for the comp xx

My worst feature is my fat arms – yuck!

Whats the point?
It would be the mole on my left thigh ;(
@seashores1
My worst features is my legs..I will never expose them to the world
My ears! They are a little pointy and stick out….luckily i have long hair (sadly my hubby also has big ears so our little boy and girl have to suffer the same fate!)
@french_caroline
I have a huge bunion on my toe that need to be removed
My worst feature is my horrible tummy. It’s yuck.
My worst feature has to be my unsightly bingo wings!! Hopefully the press ups and weights help a bit now in time for xmas! Lovely prize xx
MY TUMMY!
Oh, all of it I think! But it’s all in working order so I won’t complain!
My worst feature is my teeth, I have two that are twisting really badly and of course they are right at the front of my mouth, lol, so if I ever win or come into any money that is what Im going to get sorted.
Mine would have to be a chubby tummy even if the rest of me is quite slim.
@clairew137
I have hobbit feet too!
A name lovingly given to them by my Mum!
My worst feature is my jelly belly!
My worst feature has got to be my saggy tummy. Since having my litle boy, the skin is horrible.. it just hangs. I’ve tried creams, oils, etc nothing works
My least favourit part of my body is my tummy
Following two c-sections (my second , just last month) my tummy is frightful to say the least!!
My beautiful kiddies are so worth it , but I’d love to feel a little more confident about the dreaded area!
@TheDizzyMama
My skin is terrible, really uneven tone & texture & prone to hair where it shouldn’t be!
Cellulite on the thighs, need to start body brushing!!
My horrid post baby tum!
My worse feature is my hair, going grey and fuzzy unkempt mess which I never have time to style
helmarkxx@yahoo.co.uk

My worst feature is my big flappy Muffin Top
I’m @LoveWinning on Twitter ….
Mine is my flabby stomach
My worst feature at the moment is all my stretchmarks from having a 37 week bump!
Got to be my tummy needs toning up too flabby
Grey frizzy hair, spots, stretch marks, scars, how can I pick just one? OK then, my fat & funny shaped hips & thighs. Lumpier than school custard.
My worst feature is my legs. I’ve lost quite a bit of weight recently and am actually starting not to mind my bum and tum, but my legs remain like tree trunks!
oh do we have to choose one? erm legs! @MummyFever
I think it is my boobs – I’d love them to be pert and perky again
I hate my knees, they so ugly.
My ankles are my worse feature, I carry excess water, and each evening my ankles have swollen up to 3 times their normal size. I have tablets to try to control it, and there are people a lot more worse off than me.
My nasty short fat legs, which are cellulite -ridden and bumpy.
Mine has got to be my boobs. They are getting bigger and heavier. Hate them
Wish mine were getting bigger, they have shrivelled since having kids! x
My hands, always been very wrinkly
@phyllgerry
my wobbly tummy lol
cant blame it on the 4 kids neither it was like that before they came lol
my eyebrows are horrible
i dont think beauty only comes from the outside
you have to be a beautiful person inside aswell
I don’t like my toed either as one of my toes is much longer than the others
if i had to choose it would be a saggy stretchmarked belly,but his is a small price to pay for 3 lovely kids!!
my worst feature is my saggy tummy that will not shift!!
My feet are too big
My belly
Great giveaway! Thank you !
My worst feature is my saddle bags!!
My worst feature is my feet when I don’t spend time on them. I get hard skin and it doesn’t matter how much time I’ve spent on painting my nails; if I don’t get rid of the hard sin, they look horrible!
would have been easier to say what my best feature was, i wouldnt have such a choice then
contact emmamed1@msn.com
I don’t believe you one bit! x
my feet
my worst feature is my jelly belly- courtesy of 4 gorgeous children!!!
My worst feature by flabby thighs & with added cellulite
My pale skin. Hate It!
My worst feature are my feet!
@claire_trevor
You made me laugh with your Hobbit feet because mine are just as bad
Hairy toes? Check. Hard skin? Check. Horrible scrunched up toes? Check…….the shame of it is that these are not even my worst feature…noooooo that honour has to go to my incredibly dry and flaky skin. Being a redhead means I only have to step outside on a cloudy day and the sun goes ‘ooh look, some freckly skin to burn’…..
Oh we have twin feet! x
my long toes, I could wear smaller shoes if it wasn’t for them!!
@angiehoggett
My Size 7 feet :((
My worst feature is my worn out tummy!
Lovely prize. If I wore high heels lately I’m sure my feet would be horrid by now. I have second toes longer than the big ones :p I really don’t have a worst feature it’s defeatist to think that way, lets just say I haven’t given my feet and TLC in a while
My Chunky Thighs
Probably my nose!
kevinseandooley@gmail.com
My tiger belly from all my strech marks
My worst feature is my ears, they stick out and i look like th FA Cup, this restricts my hairstyle choices, which gets me down as i love experimenting with my hair and would love to have a short pixie crop!
stretch mark stomach
I don’t like my legs. Remind me of my gran!
I think its my nose
My teeth
My hairy ears!
