Entry and living room by Patricia Healing & Dan Barsanti
Not many designers know the Hamptons like Dan Barsanti & Patricia Healing, founders of HB Home. Based in East Hampton, this is their design stomping ground. Their interpretation of summer in the Hamptons? A subtle base of grass cloth, sisal, and white linen upholstery ("all inspirational because they are natural and used in bold strokes," says Barsanti) mixed with a bit of swagger--wide stripes on the walls, navy blue-and-white accents, and clean-lined overscale furnishings.
Design: HB Home, 83 Main Street, East Hampton, NY 11937; 631/608-4321, hbhomedesign.com

Dude, earl grey + madeleines = heaven. Take that madeleine recipe and just toss in some loose-leaf earl grey. Sooo good! Madeleines are better with tea, anyway as they soak up more teaish goodness.
I'm in the freeze for baking stage of holiday cookies and I stumbled across a better way to handle icebox cookie logs today.
Slice and bake icebox cookies are super easy, but I find it hard to consistently get uniform size within a log or from log to log. Today I realized if I put the dough in my spritz cookie gun with a blocked plate I can compress the dough to a near perfect cylinder. I then removed the blocked plate, push out the dough, and repeat with the next bit of dough. Identical logs every time.
It's as awesome as when I learned about rolling pin bands or using dishers for drop cookies.
Argh.. just when I thought I was done all of my Christmas baking... you've sucked me back in with more yummy recipes!
There is just something about baking around Christmas....
I have a massive gingerbread house to finish along with 4 sheet cakes that are going to live inside it for a christmas party, a few dozen sugar cookies left to pipe out icing on and have made a few batches of a dead on match of a recipe for Biscoff cookies (the ones you get on flights on Delta)
Been a busy baking bee. Gotta love christmas!
I'm making cheesecakes with raspberry/blueberry/strawberry sauce for everyone!
I can put about 3 in the oven and I spend about 40 minutes per batch, so it's a win-win.
My friends and I hosted a Christmas party this weekend and I made cookies. These Chez Panisse Gingersnaps were such a hit. Best part: there's still gingersnap dough in the freezer for more cookies.
Pecan tassies were always a holiday standard in my house growing up. I don't really know why. For those who aren't familiar, they're basically mini pecan pies... made in mini-muffin tins, they're tiny cups of sweet pecan goodness in individual cream-cheese spiked crusts. Soooo delicious

This sixth historical fiction book in the "Sisters in Time" series by Joann A. Grote is published by Barbour Publishing, Inc.
Kate and the Spies is written for kids ages 9 to 12. The age range reflects readability and not necessarily content appropriateness.
Eleven-year-old Kate and her 13-year-old cousin, Colin, witness the Boston Tea Party. Kate's parents are Loyalists, while Colin's are Patriots. After the Boston Harbor closes, the people of Boston go through difficult times, and Kate and Colin choose to help the Patriot cause by carrying messages and spying on Loyalists. Conflict arises between the two families but Kate and Colin manage to remain friends. Colin even apprentices for Kate's father. As they watch the events unfold that eventually lead to the Revolutionary War, the children realize how important life is and resolve to learn as much as they can in order to save the lives of others.
Both families portrayed in this book have strong, Christian beliefs in spite of their political differences. They pray for peace and God's wisdom, and they trust God to help them in the middle of their circumstances. Later, when Dr. Milton learns that Uncle Jack and Harry are going to be arrested for treason, he warns them and offers his help. Dr. Milton and Uncle Jack have not spoken to each other in six months because of their strong disagreements on political issues. Dr. Milton is willing to swallow his pride. Uncle Jack knows he can't accept his brother-in-law's help without putting him in danger, but he appreciates the offer. They ask each other for forgiveness and pray for peace for their country, for King George and for the Patriots. They know that both sides need God's help. As the war begins, Kate, asks God to show her His will for her life. She wants to be useful in God's eyes.
Dr. Milton and Uncle Jack are godly role models. They strongly believe in their own views but also try to show the children how to live honest, moral, godly lives. They both try to do what is right in every situation. Dr. Milton also exemplifies compassion when he realizes Jack and Harry are in trouble. He swallows his pride and offers his help. He and Jack have not spoken in six months but both are willing to put aside their own ideas and pray together for God's will and peace. Dr. Milton is a good role model as a doctor. He does not care who is hurt or whether they agree with him on political issues. He helps their bodies heal. Lieutenant Rand, on the other hand, is a negative role model. He acts as though he is better than those around him. He is demeaning and suspicious when he talks to Kate and Colin on the common. He accuses them of trying to steal his horse, even though they are merely looking at it. He treats them like the enemy. When he is quartered at Uncle Jack's home, he insults the family by asking for items he knows they do not have. Later, when he is in Dr. Milton's library, he orders Colin and Kate around as if they are his personal slaves. He does not see them as real people.

This Christian coming-of-age book is the first book in the "Katy Lambright" series by Kim Vogel Sawyer and is published by Zondervan.
Katy's New World is written for kids ages 13 to 16. The age range reflects readability and not necessarily content appropriateness.
Katy Lambright receives permission from the deacons of her Mennonite sect to depart from tradition and attend a nearby public high school. Katy becomes friends with a girl named Shelby, and although Katy considers Shelby and her family to be worldly, she quickly discovers that their religious beliefs are quite similar to her own. Katy's closest Mennonite friend, Annika, is jealous of Katy's relationship with Shelby. Others in the Mennonite community begin to question Katy's dedication to their faith because she spends more time with people outside of their sect than she does with people within it.
Katy struggles to find a sense of belonging and wonders if she is compromising her beliefs by attending high school. Katy's grandmother Ruthie encourages Katy to follow the Lord's leading and to choose wisely. But when Jewel, a foster teen staying with Shelby's family, asks Katy to skip school with her, Katy agrees to ditch it with Jewel out of curiosity. Because of this, Katy's father is worried that he won't be able to trust Katy, but Katy proves to him that she has learned from her mistake. As time goes on, Katy becomes more comfortable with showing her faith and her convictions to both those within and outside of the Mennonite sect.
Katy belongs to a conservative Mennonite sect. Her family's faith in God is an obvious part of their daily lives, often shown through times of prayer and devotions, and Katy strives to maintain her close walk with the Lord. Shelby's father, Rev. Nuss, is a Southern Baptist minister, and he expects his children to follow the teachings of Scripture. Shelby participates in a Bible study held at the high school, and Katy's father eventually gives Katy permission to join this group.
Katy's father, Samuel, is a single dad, and he sometimes struggles with knowing how to interact with his daughter. While Katy finds him overprotective at times, he does his best to ensure her well-being, and he hopes to impart an unshakable faith in God to her. At the same time, he doesn't allow his own fears about things outside of his control to keep Katy from pursuing her desire to further her education.
Samuel's parents, Ben and Ruthie, are loving and involved grandparents to Katy. Katy feels comfortable going to Ruthie with her concerns, and both Ben and Ruthie seek to support Katy with their prayers.
Ms. Hamilton, Jewel's mother, is permissive, allowing her daughter to make her own choices without guidance or direction.
At a corn-shucking party, Caleb, a Mennonite boy, is given an ear of red corn, which entitles him to kiss the girl of his choice. Caleb approaches Katy, but she runs away before he can kiss her.
Ms. Hamilton's live-in boyfriend, Hugo, is described as having a problem with keeping his hands to himself, and the family's social worker will not let Jewel return home until Hugo is gone.
This first Christian, medieval fantasy, allegory book in the "The Kingdom" series by Chuck Black is published by Multnomah Kidz.
Kingdom's Dawn is written for kids ages 10 to 14. The age range reflects readability and not necessarily content appropriateness.
Leinad's father teaches him how to farm and trains him in the use of the sword. After witnessing his father's murder and then saving his adopted sister from death by the hand of Lucius and his Dark Knights, Leinad realizes that his life's purpose rests with the King of Arrethtrae. He and his sister flee creatures that eat all living things, are saved by the prince and find work at a farm. They enjoy their new life until a farm overseer sells Leinad as a slave to Fairos. His sister eventually becomes a slave, also. Because Leinad teaches Fairos' ranks to be swordsmen, Leinad is raised to power, but when he stops one of Fairos' men from beating an older slave, Leinad is staked in the desert to be eaten by the Moshi Beasts. Leinad escapes the creatures and finds a desert oasis where the the King of Arrethtrae appears and teaches him more about using his sword. In the end, the king knights Leinad and asks him to free the slaves under Fairos. Leinad accepts.
Leinad's father, Peyton, symbolizes Adam. The king makes Peyton caretaker over Arrethtrae. Peyton has two sons, one honors the king and the other doesn't. The latter murders his brother, similar to the Cain and Abel story. Gabrik, one of the king's silent warriors, warns Leinad to tell the people of his town to flee or be destroyed by a wave of life-eating creatures, which mimics the Flood story. When the people don't listen to the king's message through Leinad, only Leinad and his sister survive. Eventually, Leinad finds himself enslaved under Fairos' rule, which has similarities to Moses' story. Leinad grows in Fairos' favor until he moves against one of Fairos' men. Leinad then must live in the desert where he learns more about the king and meets him in a miraculous way. By the end of the book, Leinad knows he must go back and free Fairos' slaves in the name of the king.
The King of Arrethtrae is intimidating yet understanding. He is concerned with each person in the kingdom and is the commander over the war between his forces and those under Lucius. Leinad's father is gentle but firm in his teachings of sword fighting, of loyalty to the king and of building good character. Master Stanton is a farmer who is fair but expects his people to work hard. Fairos abuses his power. He enslaves people to make his castle bigger. Leinad takes responsibility for his sister, Tess, after their father's death.
Lucius and the Dark Knights believe they can beat the King of Arrethtrae.
The book mentions that a character swears; however, it does not specify the word. At a wedding, there is a small reference to drinking, and throughout there are references to sword-fighting and whippings. Leinad feels a warm trickle of blood down his back, and he gets a knee to the back of the head. Leinad cuts a man on his side, which bleeds, and then Leinad runs through the forest, which causes his feet to bleed. A commander plunges his sword into Peyton's torso, however there is no graphic detail about the wound. A swarm of creatures destroy the countryside, eat the people of a town and devour Leinad's horse. The creatures start to chew Leinad's feet. A man is executed for trying to escape Fairos, but no detail is given. In a fight against Fairos, one man receives a sword to the chest, and another is stabbed in the shoulder and screams in pain. Leinad's whipping wounds are described as separating when he moves a certain way. Later, a Moshi Beast, a large squirrel-like creature, arrives in the desert where Leinad is staked to the ground and left for dead. The beast is carnivorous and starts to eat him.
This medieval fantasy and allegory is the fifth book in "The Kingdom" series by Chuck Black and is published by Multnomah, a division of Waterbrook.
Kingdom's Quest is written for kids ages 10 to 14. The age range reflects readability and not necessarily content appropriateness.
Sir Gavinaugh is a knight who used to follow wicked Lucius but was saved by the Prince's sacrifice. Now the Prince has bestowed a quest upon Gavinaugh to carry a message of grace to the ends of the kingdom and to train up more followers of the Prince to defeat the Dark Knight's warriors of evil.
When Gavinaugh discovers Keanna at a slave auction in Santiok, she is bitter and hateful toward him because he killed her parents years before. Over time, Keanna lets go of her hatred for him. Gavinaugh gradually falls in love with Keanna, but he will not act on his love until he is sure that she loves the Prince. After a Shadow Warrior takes Keanna, Gavinaugh fights a fire-breathing dragon to get her back.
Gavinaugh chooses to fight in the Tournament of Lords to honor the Unknown Lord. History holds that no knight fighting for the Unknown Lord has ever made it past the first round, but with the Prince's power, Gavinaugh wins the tournament. He then places a royal robe on Keanna's shoulders
Gavinaugh later gives himself up to the Noble Knights to save a friend's life. The Noble Knights do not want Gavinaugh to be exalted in his death as the Prince had been exalted in His, so they exile Gavinaugh to Namor by way of Captain Dante's ship, the Raven.
The Raven ends up on the Isles of Melogne; the crewmembers fear the Isles are haunted because no one who goes in ever comes out. The natives of the Isles welcome Gavinaugh and explain that Lucius' warrior Lord Malthos has enslaved their people in his fortress. However, the menacing Malthos becomes paralyzed when Gavinaugh speaks the name of the Prince, and Gavinaugh defeats Malthos.
Like the apostle Paul's conversion, Gavin was renewed and renamed Gavinaugh and now lives to serve the Prince. Gavinaugh travels from town to town telling the story of a Prince who died on a tree and rose again to save all men, painting a picture of Christ's sacrifice. On his journey, Gavinaugh continually fights the Noble Knights and Shadow Warriors of the Dark Knight Lucius, who represents Satan. Lucius does not want the Prince's message to be proclaimed or for people to follow the Prince.
When Gavinaugh places the royal robe on Keanna's shoulders, he tells her that everyone who accepts the Prince becomes royalty in the Prince's kingdom, which parallels the rewards Christ's followers will reap in heaven.
Malthos becomes paralyzed when Gavinaugh speaks the name of the Prince, implying that the Devil cowers at the name of Jesus. Gavinaugh defeats Malthos because the Prince's power overcomes wickedness, mirroring Christ's triumph over Satan in Jesus' death and resurrection.
Gavinaugh serves the Prince faithfully and risks his life to spread the Prince's message to the kingdom. Knights fight in the tournament to honor the great lords and to earn nobility. However, Gavinaugh dismounts his horse before the final duel of the tournament, as he believes it is wrong to praise a man other than the Prince.
Shipmates of the Raven believe the Isles of Melogne are haunted. The Tempests are believed to be evil warriors of the sea.
Shadow Warriors and Noble Knights of Lucius often swear in battle, although the words are not mentioned. Sword fighting is described through a series of cuts and slices. In the Tournament of Lords, a knight must kill or physically disable his opponent to advance to the next round. Gavinaugh defeats knight after knight in the tournament but does not kill any of them because he follows the Prince. Gavinaugh and his horse, Triumph, foil a Noble Knight's attempt to hang a man. The Noble Knights beat Gavinaugh brutally and throw him into prison, bruised and bleeding. Captain Dante unlocks Gavinaugh's chains aboard the Raven and says he will slit Gavinaugh's throat with his own sword if he tries to escape. Lord Malthos, who rules over the Isles of Melogne, threatens to cut Gavinaugh's heart out and feed it to the dogs. On one of the Isles of Melogne, a strangler vine grabs Gavinaugh and slashes at him with its prickly tree arms. In the dragon's lair, Keanna thrusts a knife into a Shadow Warrior's back to save Gavinaugh. Gavinaugh then pierces the dragon's heart to save himself and Keanna.
Keanna kisses Gavinaugh's cheek after she discovers the love of the Prince. She kisses him again briefly before the knights take him away to receive treatment for his wounds inflicted by the dragon Tarmuwth.
This historical fiction, slice-of-life book by Cynthia Kadohata is published by Atheneum Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing Division and is written for kids ages 10 to 14. The age range reflects readability and not necessarily content appropriateness.
Katie loves her big sister, Lynn, who sees even ordinary things in the world as kira-kira, a Japanese word for glittering. Born in the U.S. to Japanese parents, the girls face prejudices at school and watch their parents endure hardships to make ends meet in a predominantly white culture. When Lynn gets sick, the parents scrape every dime together to buy the house Lynn has always dreamed of. As a preteen, Katie finds herself acting as caregiver for her little brother and dying sister while her parents work long hours at chicken processing plants. Lynn's ultimate death brings out a range of difficult emotions for the family, but as they begin to heal, they take a trip to California — a place where Lynn always wanted to live — in her honor.
Lynn tells Katie that her spirit is the invisible part of her.
Katie depicts her parents as extremely loving of their kids and of each other, which makes her feel safe. They resolutely instill values such as truth and honor into their kids and make every decision based on what they feel best serves the family. The wisdom of the parents' choices may be debatable, since they work long hours. This leaves them exhausted and forces the children to fend for themselves and miss school on many occasions. Uncle Katsuhisa is a slightly eccentric man who helps Katie's family move to Georgia from Iowa. He chews tobacco and teaches the girls to spit. He provides comfort for Katie at Lynn's funeral. Compassionate, thoughtful Lynn takes care of her little sister and is usually the one to tell her the hard facts of life. Katie sleeps with her baby brother sometimes so the oni (ogres who guard the gates of hell) won't take him in the night.
The girls believe in a number of fantastic ideas such as a magic world, the possibility of creatures from outer space and the existence of Brenda, the ghost of a little girl who supposedly died in Brenda Swamp. Katie also suspects her mother can read her mind, so sometimes she thinks nonsense thoughts to throw Mom off. Uncle Katsuhisa tells Katie some Buddhists believe a person's spirit leaves earth 49 days after the body dies. On the 49th day after Lynn's death, Katie sees a falling leaf that she believes is a sign from her sister. The author paints a bleak picture of the chicken factories without unionization. In the end, even Katie's previously passive parents stand up for the union.
The words darn, b---ch, godd---n and a variation of s--- each appear once or twice.
While the family is camping, Katie's aunt and uncle retreat to their tent during the day "to make a baby," according to their young son. This prompts Katie to mention the time she heard her parents through the door trying to make a baby. She says it must have been a lot of work in light of all the grunting. Katie imagines being locked in the bathroom with a boy she likes and having to sleep with him in the bathtub (nothing sexual is implied).

This tween chick-lit book is the first in "The Baby-Sitters Club" series by Ann M. Martin and is published by Scholastic Inc.
Kristy's Great Idea is written for kids ages 9 to 12. The age range reflects readability and not necessarily content appropriateness.
Kristy feels compelled to say what's on her mind at all times, and she confronts Stacey at a club meeting about a lie told by Stacey's mother regarding Stacey's whereabouts. Stacey shares how her parents have been keeping her recent diabetes diagnosis a secret to those outside the family. The girls resolve their issues with one another, and Kristy hopes that the baby-sitters club will stay together for a long time.
Kristy's mother is firm yet loving with her children. She doesn't tolerate Kristy's rude behavior toward Watson; however, she understands that her divorce and possible remarriage are difficult for them. Kristy's father has not had any contact with his children in over a year. Mary Anne's father has set extensive rules for Mary Anne (such as what she can wear, how she can spend her baby-sitting money, etc.), and she is often frustrated because she is not allowed to do some of the things her friends can with their time and money. When Claudia's parents discover she is performing poorly in school, they quickly establish a homework hour to help her better balance her time between schoolwork and her other interests. They also refuse to let her wear make-up to school.
Watson's 5-year-old daughter, Karen, believes their neighbor is a witch and that their cat is under the neighbor's spell.
Kristy's mother and Watson consume alcohol with a meal.

there are a few of us looking at the reveluton but dont really have much info.i know im thinking about getting one or maybe the NAP 360.
well the more i look i like the revolition because it has what i want but i like the regular drop away but i tink i will get the revolutiion cuz i want to make shur i get totle vane clearance and no bounce back i will prob be getting it tomarrow or tuesday i will tell you how it is does anyone else have any other info on these rests
Both of the rests you are looking at have great reviews. I am looking at the revolution. I think it is out of the box style rest. Which is why I like it. The NAP apache is the 3 one you should look at.

the apache is a no frills but very very solid rest. but if you dont like it....... my apache is more reliable than my hostage was, if that says anything. and its just a no brainer to shoot and tune.

I shoot the Apache and love it, it is the best and easiest rest to tune I have ever had.
I have heard of at least three instances where the Revolution has broken soon after installation. I too wanted to get this rest but after three fails I don't think so. I have never heard of the Apache Failing (not saying that they don't fail) just never heard of one.
The QAD rests I have heard more good than bad. I have heard more bad about the hunter model but less of the LD and HD models.

Sudocrem is one of those products that fast became a household name, simply because of its hundreds of uses. We have used Sudocrem for years, for all sorts of reasons, and here is my review of it.
Sudcrem started off back in 1931, where Thomas Smith a Professor of Pharmacy, developed a unique cream that was used to treat a whole bunch of medical problems. By the 1940's, his cream had become so popular that he had to relocate to a bigger factory to create the amount of products that he needed. To this day, the product has stood the test of time and is used by millions of people across the world, making it one of the most successful medical creams ever,
We have being using this cream since I can remember, it comes in handy for day to day needs, especially for our child as it is great for nappy rash and preventing soreness. The product is also used for:
Surface wounds
Minor burns
bed sores
cuts and scrapes
And a whole range of other problems. Sudocrem is very easily absorbed into the skin, simply put on a small amount wherever the problem may be, and rub it in until it is gone. I suggest using a minimal amount as using too much can make your skin become greasy.
All in all Sudocrem is an excellent household product, that should be found in all home first aid kits. The product is only about a pound from most pharmacies and supermarkets, and one small 60 gram tub can last you months. The product has a long shelf life too, and is around three years before it expires, so you do not need to worry about it going off either. An essential product to keep in the house!
Sudocrem is truly brilliant stuff, growing up there was always a jar of it around the house and now that I am an adult I keep a jar in my own home, you never know when it is going to come in handy. If you have children then you won't be long running out of it because it's just one of those products that works on pretty much everything skin related.
It is thick in consistency and white in colour, I'm not sure what to the scent is but it isn't offensive which is good. It is instantly cooling and soothing and being an antiseptic helps as well. If you burn yourself in the kitchen it will help to make it feel better immediately. It really shines with anything itchy, like a rash or a bite, near instant relief. I have also used it on spots that are particularly painful and it helps to calm things down.
Do be aware of its white colour, it being a cream it is easily transferred to fabrics, I don't think it would stain but might be a bit difficult to get out.
It really is a one for all, I have even used it on my dog, he had a rash on his tummy over the summer, it was annoying him so I put some sudocrem on it at night to help sooth it, within three days the rash had completely cleared up, I was happy not having to pay for a trip to the vet and the dog was happy with no more itchy rash to contend with. Some dogs may try to lick it off, so make sure that you supervise them when they have it on, I don't think it would do any harm but still probably not a good idea.
I have a 3 year old niece who isn't in nappies anymore. However, she does still suffer with rashes in that area still, probably from those "dry nights" pull-ups she wears to sleep in. As she isn't my child I can't exactly advise my brother and his wife to perhaps look for alternatives. However, we do use Sudacrem on her nappy rash, which seems to help.
Sudacrem has always been packaged the same way, a small grey tub with red lettering. It's iconic, really. A 125g tub will set you back £2-£3, but a little goes a long way and you may find it's good value for that price.
Ingredients (taken from boots.co.uk)
Active Ingredients:
% w/w
Zinc oxide, EP 15.25
Benzyl alcohol, BP 0.39
Benzyl benzoate, BP 1.01
Benzyl cinnamate 0.15
Lanolin (hypoallergenic) 4.00
All Other ingredients:
Purified Water
Sodium Benzoate
Paraffin wax
Microcrystalline wax
Heavy Liquid Paraffin
Synthetic Beeswax
Sorbitan sesquioleate
Propylene glycol
Antracine 54
Linalyl acetate
The ingredients contain more natural ingredients than I thought they would - lavender, beeswax (OK, synthetic beeswax) - but the main selling point of Sudacrem is that it's an antiseptic.
It's a white cream, looks like any other. Unlike a moisturiser or other antiseptic creams, I find it's intensely sticky and hard to remove from your hands or fingers. I guess it's intense steadfastness may form a barrier in the area its used in.
I've used this myself on rashes, insect bites, and so on in a pinch. I find it doesn't sting like some antiseptics do. It has a lingering medical scent and doesn't seem to absorb, as I said, forming a kind of barrier.
It's pretty much a mainstay when it comes to medical products, especially for children. But it's alright for adult use as well, and lasts a long time.
I remember having this cream around the house when I was younger but I had always associated it with nappy rash! But in fact it is so much more versatile than this. So I wanted some sort of ''treatment'' to help with my spot prone skin, and several people had recommended this to me. The cream really works to help remove spots. I apply it every night and in the morning they appear smaller, keep applying it and after 2-3 days, depending on the size, they disappear! The price is very reasonable, it may seem overprices for a small tub but trust me this lasts forever! I use it every night and very rarely during the day, if my skin is acting up, and it is still three quarters full. You definitely get your moneys worth with this product.
Sudocrem comes in a small grey tub in various sizes. I usually buy the big one (400g) as it's best value at around £4.50 from Asda where as the smaller one (125g) is around £2.50. It is an over the counter medicated cream to ease the pain of nappy rash, eczema, bed sores and minor wounds. I bought this initially when I was found out I was pregnant as I wanted to have everything ready and prepared for my baby arriving. When my daughter was born and through her baby years we were lucky that we never had to use Sudocrem a lot but when she needed it, it worked wonders. It has a thick consistency and is white in colour. You don't need to apply a lot because a little bit works a lot better I thought. It can also be quite difficult to wash out of clothes if you get any on clothes, etc... It has a water repellent base with protective and antibacterial agents to help heal the soreness. We have also used it on sunburn and skin irritations and it has worked brilliant every time.
Sudocrem is one of those products that I have always known about due to my mum always having a tub kicking about the house when I was younger, but never had call to use it myself until our daughter was born. Sudocrem is advertised as an antiseptic healing cream and is most commonly used and perceived as a treatment for nappy rash despite the fact it has many other uses. It can also be used in the treatment of eczema, sunburn, minor wounds and acne as well as multiple other situations.
At a price of around £5 for a 400g tub, my first impressions were that this was quite an expensive product to buy however it does go a long way and was a lot more economical than I first thought. With Sudocrem having been in production for nearly 80 years with the design of the packaging remaining unchanged for as long as I can remember seeing it about, means that it is easy to spot amongst similar products in its grey coloured tub with the distinctive red and white Sudocrem branding, and I'm sure is the first product many would reach for alongside the other brands of nappy creams.
In Use:-
Once the seal is broken and the lift lifted off of the tub, the scent of Sudocrem is mildly medicinal and no matter what happens it will always remind me of babies nappies no matter what its intended use. The cream itself is quite thick and can sometimes need a little warming up by rubbing between my fingers to make it easy to apply and not uncomfortably cold when applied to the skin. As the cream is quite thick it is best to apply just a little bit as a thin layer as it doesn't absorb into the skin easily and leaves a light white layer where it is applied, and is impossible to get to rub in properly if too much is used. The main advantage of it being so thick is when treating nappy rash as once it is applied it means it is not only treating the nappy rash, but is also a preventative measure at the same time providing a water resistant antiseptic barrier that will protect already sore skin. The main benefits of Sudocrem is that it will soothe sore inflames skin, whilst reducing pain as it contains a mild local anaesthetic.
As a treatment for nappy rash I have found Sudocrem to be most effective with a noticeable reduction in redness and soreness within hours of application, and most symptoms disappearing within 24 hours. The coolness of the cream seems to provide our daughter with immediate relieve along with the local anaesthetic when she has been suffering from nappy rash, and as mentioned the barrier it creates means this relief and protection is provided until her next nappy change.
I have occasionally used this product on the odd spot over the last few years and have noticed that it will decrease healing time marginally, with the main difference being in the reduction of the swelling and redness almost immediately. My brother used to suffer with mild acne and applying Sudocrem once in the morning and then again in the evening to the affected areas whilst washing them clean with plain water always helped to keep it under control. Whilst his acne has all but disappeared now, this is still a product that he swears by and will still use years later if he has an outbreak. Another reason I have had to use this cream since I started buying it for my daughter is on sunburnt shoulders last summer and once again it performed extremely well again easing the symptoms almost immediately, with the tightness and heat whilst not disappearing completely were dulled to the point where it didn't hurt to wear a t-shirt.
Minor cuts and abrasions (including insect and nettle stings) also benefit well from a dab of Sudocrem with healing times being decreased, and once again swelling and redness being decreased in a short amount of time. What I have mentioned so far is about all of the experience I have of the uses of Sudocrem but I should imagine that it works just as well in all of the other symptoms and conditions it will treat given the fact it has always worked so well in my experience.
I don't usually provide a list of ingredients with my reviews but as this is a product mainly used on small children, and a product you really wouldn't want to use if allergic to due to the fact it is often used for already delicate skin complaints I will make an exception for this product and list the ingredients here.
Zinc Oxide (15.25%), Benzyl Alcohol B.P. (0.39%), Benzol Benzoate B.P. (1.01%), Benzyl Cinnamate (0.15%), Lancolin - hypo-allergenic (4%). Also contains purified water, liquid paraffin, paraffin wax, beeswax, microcrystalline wax, sodium benzoate, linalyl acetate, propylene glycol, citric acid, butylated hydroxyanisole, sorbitan sesquioleate, lavender fragrance.
As can be seen from the list of ingredients this is far from being a natural product so is something that would be worth testing by using a tiny amount on a small area of skin to test its suitability for use especially where newborns and small babies are involved.
In Conclusion:-
Overall Sudocrem is a product I would be most happy to recommend as it has been a most reliable product giving me no reason to doubt its effectiveness over the past few years of using it. It was a product I would have always just walked away from before we had a child and not used, not for any reason in particular other than I am not the sort of person that uses creams and the like on a regular basis, so it is something I wouldn't really have thought of using.
Sudocrem definitely lives up to the claims made by the manufacturer, and whilst it appears to be a little on the expensive side, it does go an awful long way, to the point I'd suggest getting a small 200g tub to start with as a 400g tub may well be too much if not being used on a regular basis. This product comes with a definite 5/5 star rating from me despite the price tag as it does work out to be a really effective, and economical product.
Sudocrem is the go to cream for most parents, and I am no exception. I first encountered Sudocrem in my hospital bounty pack, I am not sure if it is included in the packs now.
Sudocrem is an antiseptic emollient that contains a mild anaesthetic and is mostly used for the treatment and prevention of nappy rash. The unctuous white cream has a distinctive medicinal scent.
A small amount of Sudocrem goes a long way and a small amount gently rubbed into the area affected by nappy rash will sooth and protect the inflamed skin as it forms a waterproof barrier on the skin that protects babies bottom from urine and faeces. I found that when I used Sudocrem it cleared nappy rash up in a few days.
Sudocrem can also be used for the treatment of eczema. I have also used this on my children when they were younger. I found it quite difficult to rub in on my childs dry, crusty skin for fear that I would irritate it more I used to apply it a little thicker and allow it to be absorbed and again I found it moisturised the eczema and settled the inflammation.
I have used Sudocrem on myself when I have had an insect bite and I have found it to be very effective. A small amount rubbed into the bite cools and soothes the bite and stops the itching. I have also used it on inflamed spots before going to bed, the spot usually dries up over night with the aid of Sudocrem
Sudocrem can also be used on sunburn; I have not used it on sunburn and would imagine it would be quite a delicate affair massaging it in to sunburnt skin. It can also be used on burns; again I have not used it on burns.
I have used it on small cuts and grazes, the children were instantly soothed when I pulled out the pot of magic cream and delicately dabbed it on the cleaned cut or graze.
I always make sure my hands are clean before using Sudocrem as there is a slightly unhygienic aspect of dipping fingers in the pot that does bother me. Happily Sudocrem does come in tubes now which does make it easier and cleaner to handle.
Over all I consider Sudocrem a must have for any parent as it is an incredibly versatile cream. Sudocrem can be brought from most retailers a 400g pot retails at around £8.00 and a 125g pot for around £3.00. A pot of Sudocrem will last absolutely ages and I have found that I have thrown pots of Sudocrem away before they are finished as they have been open for a long time.
Thank you for reading.
For as long as I can remember we have always used Sudocrem regularly. My mum always had it in when we were kids and whatever was wrong with me or my brother her answer was usually "oh put some sudocrem on it... you'll be fine!".
I've followed in her footsteps and use it all the time too!
In our house, we always have at least one pot of sudocrem in. We use it so regularly, for us it's a house hold must have!
My kids call it 'the magic cream' as it's fab and we always seem to have a use for it.
Sudocrem is a thick white cream which is applied to the skin to treat minor skin injuries. It is commonly used for nappy rash, that's what my Mum first used it for anyway and now me too on my children.
Unlike most creams it is extremely thick and needs to be scooped out of the pot. It is very heavy and not at all runny.
The cream also has an antiseptic action that helps prevent infection.
It does have a faint distinctive smell, I'm not really sure what of but I quite like it!
Sudocrem is amazing stuff! It has so many uses. As I said before it is most commonly used on babies bums for nappy rash.
It is also used for:
*intect bites
*cuts and small wounds
*Spots and acne - dab some on before you go to bed. Can be a bit of a pain to get off in the morning so give a good scrub. You notice a difference after the first time.
*Minor burns
*On tattoos - on newly done tattoos it soothes and heals them quicker
*On animal wounds - I worked in a vets as a work placement kind of thing, and they used Sudocrem on lots of different animals as it helps to heal so well. Whilst I was there they used it on a poor cat who had been hit by a car and had open wounds all over her legs. They generously put it all over her sore parts. They also used it on dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs whilst I was there.
*Chapped or dry skin
*Bed sores
*Chicken pox - can help to relieve the itching and helps broken skin and spots to heal quicker
*Bruises - it helps the bruise to reduce and fade quicker
I'm sure there are probably still more uses as I'm always hearing of new uses for it that I haven't heard of (mostly from mum's!). It really is amazing stuff that can be used for almost any skin condition!
As great as it is, there is one big negative to Sudocrem. For some reason, unbeknown to me, children seem to love playing with it. If I accidently leave it out and it catches my son's eye, he waits till I go out of the room and tries to spread it everywhere! Quite often my poor dog who is black ends up mostly white and my son covered in the stuff!
It is an absolute nightmare to get out! It seems to spread when you try to clean it instead of coming off it just gets worse. Take it from me it takes some scrubbing to get it out again!
Sudocrem is widely available from supermarkets, pharmacies, baby shops like Mothercare , drug stores likes Boots and Superdrug, and most shops really. It is pretty easy to come across.
It comes in a wide variety of sizes. You can get teeny tiny sample pots, 60g (£2.59), 175g (£3.99), and 400g (£5.24) pots. The largest works out at the best value for money.
Sudocrem is now also available in a squeezey tube, but this is £5.45 for a 40g tube so way more expensive. They have also Sudocrem mousse, but again this is far more expensive at £9.85 for a 180ml bottle. So I would definitely say stick to the pots.
Although I would say even the pots are quite pricey really, I think it is still good value for money as it seems to last for ages and it's such good stuff!
So, would I recommend? Absolutely!
As you can tell from my review I love this stuff! It is an amazingly good all round cream that every household (especially with little ones) should have in!
Oh just keep it out of little hands reach unless you want it pasted everywhere!
I have to give it 5 / 5 stars!
Thank you for reading my review, I hope it was useful.

Sudocrem is an antiseptic healing cream that was made to help nappy rash on babies. It works exceptionally well at doing this, reducing soreness to the delicate skin and therefore reducing discomfort. However it has become a multi use cream that can be used for babies, teenagers and adults. It uses a local anaesthetic to sooth and heal painful and irritating skin conditions such as acne, eczema, bed sores, sunburn and spots. It's also known to help inflammation and dry skin. Sudocrem is something that was always in our first aid box as a child and we got through many a tub.
I also know a few people who use sudocrem as a face mask when they have a break out and they claim it works wonders- worth a try! If it does work then it's a great, inexpensive alternative face mask.
Sudocrem is a thick white cream, packaged in a red and white tub & is widely available in supermarkets and chemists. I bought my 125g tub from boots for £2.55. It is also available in a 400g tub for £5.45 and a 30g tube for £1.99.
I think this is a bargain multi use cream that really does work and is something everybody should have in their home! I would 100% recommend it to anyone.
When I was a child Sudocrem was a staple in our house - it became so ingrained into my first aid knowledge that I couldn't consider not having a pot stored in my own bathroom! It has so many uses, no matter what your age, gender, or problem:
Babies - I believe that this is the reason that Sudocrem was actually invented... It is both a great preventative measure and treatment for nappy rash. I usually put a thin layer on any red area and within 24 hours it is gone.
Children - Perfect for any cuts, scratches, and all manner if other injuries that occur. It dries them out and facilitates quick healing.
Teenagers - Put on spots before bed and in the morning they are less red and noticeable (FYI, I did this before Cheryl Cole told everyone that she does it).
Adults - Use for injuries and as a provider of 'magic cream' to your little ones!

What is it?
Sudocrem is an antiseptic healing cream. It comes in a grey tub with a distinctive white and red label. The cream is recommended for various external skin conditions including nappy rash, eczema, sunburn and acne and surface wounds such as bed sores and cuts and grazes. It can be used for any condition which requires an antiseptic cream with additional healing, antibacterial and anti fungal properties. It is soothing and protective and is particularly good for conditions which can make use of its water-repellent base which forms a protective barrier preventing irritants such as urine and stools from contaminating rashes or wounds.
I bought my 125g from from Boots for £2.55 on offer.

My opinion
I first came across this product when my children were babies. It is a very useful thing to have in the house as it has antiseptic properties and can be used to treat all sorts of things. Nappy rash? Smear it on and watch your baby smile! It is not only treating that horrible red sore skin but also creating a barrier so that nothing else can make the problem any worse. Sore cut or graze? A layer of Sudocrem will sort it out. Spot that you can't get rid of? Sudocrem will sort it out. Sunburn? Sudocrem will sooth that burn. This really is a wonder cream; I feel completely confident using it on my children and myself as it is so mild and really does the job.
Star Rating

Would I recommend ?
Yes, most definitely.
I first experienced this stuff when I was about fifteen (although I'm sure my mum probably used this or something similar when I was a baby, I had just never seen it until I was fifteen), I was staying with my older brother, his wife and my newly born nephew. I had walked past an iron and my arm accidentally brushed off the iron and left a stinging burn mark. Of course I cried like a baby, and my sister in-law went into her changing bag and pulled out this tub. When she dabbed it on my arm it felt so cold and within minutes I had forgotten all about the pain. Years later I had a child of my own (well I didn't have her, but you know what I mean), and I found myself using this on a regular basis when changing babies nappy. It has an amazingly long shelf life, the tub I have now was purchased in 2010 and it doesn't go out of date until 2016.
== What is it? ==
Sudocrem is an antiseptic healing cream, unlike most of these creams I see in the shops that claim to "heal", this is not what I would call a gypsy remedy, this stuff does actually work. The cream comes in a grey tub with white writing on a red background on the front. Every mother up and down the land is probably familiar with this tub, and I'm sure a lot of the dads are too. The cream is white in colour and feels slightly oily to touch, there is a strong hint of lavender amongst all the other ingredients I have trouble pronouncing. I would check to make sure that you aren't allergic to any of the ingredients before purchasing, there is a clear warning explaining not to use if you are, on the rear label of the tub.
== Uses ==
Sudocrem has many uses, the main one being to prevent and cure napkin rash. It is also good for burns, eczema, bed sores, sunburn, surface wounds, acne and chilblains, plus I'm sure many more things that I haven't covered. You usually only need to apply a thin dab of the stuff to the surface area, a little goes a long way.
== Price ==
Sudocrem comes in various sizes and you can normally purchase it from most chemists, although some chemists don't stock all the different sizes. The price can range from around £1.50 for a 30g tube, £2.50 for a 125g tube and £6.00 for a 400g tube. Dependent on how frequently you use it, it can last quite a long time if used sparingly.
== Verdict ==
Since Lily-May was born, I have always had a pot of Sudocrem on my medicine shelf in the bathroom, even though she is out of the nappy rash stage (she's four in December), I still like to keep a pot around, in case she burns herself on something, falls and hurts her knee, sometimes if she is a bit sore in her nether regions too. This stuff seems to be the helper of all ailments, I'm sure you can sure the common cold with it, well maybe that's stretching the imagination a little too far, but it is a good handy piece of kit to have around the house for "just in case" moments, and I will probably still be using it for many moons to come!
Since starting college I have found that my elbow crooks get inflamed and itchy. The doctor tells me that this is a mild form of eczema and suggested I try a barrier cream. I used the E45 cream for ages but it didn't do very much good until I started to use Sudocrem and now it's definitely not as bad as it was before. I use about two times a day but sometimes I forget though my skin will then remind me that it needs more.
When you scratch the surface a lot in one area it becomes inflamed and red very quickly and this can lead to more inflammation and then a germ getting into the broken skin. The Sudocrem acts as a barrier to the germs and it helps the inflammation in the first place and it makes it less likely that I'll want to scratch the area and therefore make the situation worse than it was before.
The ingredients are extensive and include the following:
Zinc oxide, EP, Benzyl alcohol, BP, Benzyl benzoate, BP, Benzyl cinnamate, and Lanolin (hypoallergenic) Inactive ingredients in Sudocrem Purified Water, Sodium Benzoate, Paraffin wax, Microcrystalline wax, Heavy Liquid Paraffin, Synthetic Beeswax, Sorbitan sesquioleate, and Propylene glycol, Antioxidant (formulation consisting of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), citric acid and propylene glycol), Linalyl acetate and Lavender. That's a lot!
The cream is white and quite thick and it won't sink into the skin though it's not designed to do this anyway. The tub is 60g and costs me just less than £1.50. It says it's also good for baby's nappy rash etc though I can't say I have used it on anyone other than myself and it works well for me. It has a pleasant light smell and only slightly fragranced with a medicinal aroma, it's quite nice. It's slightly greasy when you first apply it to the skin and feels thick but you do get used to it and it's far better to have this on your skin than the constant itch scratch that goes on without it.
I'd recommend it because it works and it's also kind to my skin and helps the inflammation and stops me from scratching. I am never without a tub of it in the bathroom.
Sudocrem. Now we all know it as 'bum cream' for babies but I think it's many other uses are often overlooked.
Sudocrem comes in an antiseptic healing cream that promises to sooth and heal nappy rash. It also suggests that it can be used to treat eczema, bed sores, sunburn, minor burns, surface wounds, acne and chilblains. It is a thick white cream that comes in pots of varying sizes (and also a small tube for travel). It contains a mild local anaesthetic so it soothes pain and doesn't sting when you apply it.
As a child, I always remember a cut or graze being given the Sudocrem treatment and it has always been a staple in the first aid kit.
Nappy Rash - Although I don't have my own children, my best friends little girl is a regular visitor at my house. Back in the days where nappy rash was a problem, a couple of day's use of Sudocrem tended to clear it right up. The cream is quite thick but a little goes a long way so a pot of this stuff lasts forever
Cuts and Grazes - As an adult I tend to acquire more injuries that I ever did as a child. I'm not really sure how or why but whenever I get a cut or graze I tend to whack a bit of Sudocrem on it (usually overnight so that I don't smudge it over my clothes etc.) and I feel that it does make a difference with helping it heal. In particular when I get an accidental scratch from the dog and there is the extra risk of infection I always us a bit of Sudocrem for the antiseptic properties.
Sunburn and Burns - To be honest I don't usually burn but somehow at the beginning of the summer I came home from a day out with a bright red sunburn face that was so raw and so painful that aftersun just wasn't cutting it. I would apply aftersun and my skin was so sore and so dry that it would absorb it within seconds giving almost no relief. Lying in bed unable to sleep I decided to give some Sudocrem a go and it was instant relief. I gave my face a coating of it (this looked hilarious) and it instantly soothed the burning. I slept with it on my face and by morning my skin looked so much better. For the next two nights I applied Sudocrem again and the burns healed really quickly without any pealing. Obviously I appreciate that it is important to prevent getting burnt in the first place but in the worst case scenario, I would always trust Sudocrem again for the relief and healing needed. The same goes for burns. I've lost count of the number of times I have burnt my hand/arm on the oven/iron/hair straighteners and Sudocrem always helps.
Spots - I am fortunate enough to have never had acne so can't comment on the claims that Sudocrem helps with it but I do get the occasional mega zit. Small spots I try to leave alone and let them do their thing naturally but working as a teacher means that when I have a beacon appear on my face I don't really want days of teenagers telling me that I have a spot (as if I don't know?!). As soon as one of these monstrosities appears I give it a dose of Sudocrem in the evening and another before bed/overnight and it makes it go down. In fact I read in a magazine once that there are celebrities that swear by Sudocrem as a way of getting rid of their spots quickly.
Chafing - For those horrible times where something has rubbed your skin and made it sure, whether it's the seam of your new jeans, the straps on your dress, your new shoes or just that you've been cycling and the bike seat has cause some unwanted rubbing, you can always rely on Sudocrem to give a bit of instant soothing and to work its healing magic.
Bites, stings and Allergies - I am allergic to most things so if a cat rubs against me, my skin goes mental and flares up. If I get bitten or stung I end up with anything from the size of a golf ball to a tennis ball appear at the site of the bite. My hay fever means that I can get random irritated patches of skin and I get the same from some food allergies. I use a variety of allergy medications, creams and treatments but on the occasions where these are not around I find that a bit of Sudocrem always helps the situation. I was bitten by a flying evil thing the other week and found myself at a friend's house without my usual bite cream and legs that I was about to scratch off due to the itching of the bites. I asked if she had any bite cream and she said no but that she had some Sudocrem if that would help (I am yet to meet someone that doesn't own Sudocrem). I applied some and it helped enough that I no longer wanted to amputate my own legs just to get rid of the itching. I'm sure the antiseptic healing properties won't do the bites any harm either. That said, I did then read the label and realise that her Sudocrem's expiry date was in 2008 so it was 5 years out of date! Looked, smelt and worked perfectly fine though!
Overall I can't rate Sudocrem highly enough. I much prefer it to some of alternatives and I feel it is very good value for money as you can buy a 125g pot for around £2.50 or a large 400g pot for around £6 and as a little goes a very long way it will last you forever. There are sizes available including a small tube. I do wonder whether it would be more hygienic for the product to always come in a tube as with the pot you are dipping your finger in it each time. That said, anyone with a bit of common sense will make sure it is a clean finger they are dipping in as well as hopefully not eating it, rubbing it in their eyes and so on...
For anyone that might be interested the active ingredients are: Zinc oxide, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl benzoate, Benzyl cinnamate and Lanolin.
Having not used Sudocrem since I was in nappies, I was intrigued to try this cream again. I had heard a lot of people raving about how multi functional the cream is and seeing as it is fairly inexpensive at £2.66 I decided to pick up a tub.
My main reason for purchasing was that i had heard the antiseptic property of the cream was good for healing spots and zits, as an occasional adult acne sufferer i though it was worth a try. Firstly the pot reminds me of the 80s/90s (when i grew up) the simple grey tub seems very dated, although it also gives me a comforting reassurance - this product doesn't sell itself on its fancy packaging, its effectiveness is built on the cream inside the tub that has made Sudocrem a household name.
In terms of the cream itself it is the thickest cream I have ever come across! The cream is white and the consistency is unbelievably heavy - it doesn't spread easily so whenever it's applied the area you are left with a layer of white cream on your skin - for this reason I believe it is best to use Sudocrem when you don't have to go out i.e. before bed. I believe the reason for this thickness is that Sudocrem provides a barrier on the skin e.g. for babies who are wearing nappies.
The selling point of this cream is the antiseptic properties, slapping some of this cream on a zit helps to reduce inflammation and calm the area, I normally apply this product before bed and notice an immediate difference in a spot the next morning - Sudocrem works to dry up the spot and reduce the redness -it is a total godsend!
I also find myself reaching for this cream on many different occasions, it's great to put on a cut or graze and I have even used it on a nasty shaving rash - this cream really helps calm skin inflammation. Sudocrem is now a staple in my medicine cupboard and I couldn't be without it - it is so multi functional. I haven't personally used it on sunburnt skin but i really think this would be the perfect product to use to heal burnt skin and calm the redness.
You can buy Sudocrem in a tube which would be a more hygienic option as constantly dipping your finger in a tub is probably not the most hygienic option, however the tub works well for me and at 125g of product my tub has lasted me over a year already with about a quater of the tub still to go!
If you're looking for a good staple antiseptic cream I would highly recommend Sudocrem.
