Supa Secrets Snack Bar Review

by 1 Comment

Packing your child a healthy lunch he or she will likely eat feels more challenging than ever before!  The key is to communicate with your child about their dietary likes and dislikes. Sending them off to school with a balance of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, and with enough healthy “treats,” will ensure lunchbox success

Sharon Thurins ( Founder  ) launch of the Slim Secrets range in 2006 has been a success beyond her lofty expectations.  Available nationally in supermarkets, Boost Juice venues, health food stores, health clubs including Fitness First venues and now exported globally – with 3 product ranges (chips, bars and cookies),  another 5 brand extensions are planned in the next 12 months.

Milkk PR proudly introduce the first, SUPA SECRETS!

SUPA SECRETS provide better nutritionally balanced snacks for kids that taste great and is a fun brand like the Slim Secrets range. Whilst Sharon still believes that snacks such as fruit, vegetables or similar are a better alternative for kids we know that they will not always satisfy their cravings.

SUPA SECRETS take great care in creating snacks to give kids fantastic tasting food with the right kind of nutrition they need for their growing, active bodies. Both ranges fall within the Healthy Kids amber category which is approved for canteens.

SUPA SECRETS SNACK BARS – Snack bars  available in 2 flavours  “Ballistic Berry” & ” Wicked Choc” that not only taste awesome, but have under 115 calories per bar, no artificial flavours or colours, are a good source of omega 3’s, are low in sodium and contain one of my favourite ingredients Chia seeds!!!!! Did I mention they are made with goodness of wholegrain oats?

Thanks to Shereen Kiddle of Milkk PR I was invited to attend the “Official Launch” of Supa Secrets unable to attend at the very last minute I was still lucky enough to be able to try the  “Wicked Chocolate Super Wired Chewy Snack Bar “ ( Thanks Shereen )  3 words ……. YUM ….. YUM.….YUM!!!!! Low Calorie Chocolate Heaven, this bar has it’s sweetness factor SPOT ON. Like a chocolate muesli bar with hues of coconut minus the boring factor of a muesli bar. The perfect size snack wise with a matching calorie intake. 114 calories to be more precise, 3.4 grams of fat, 85mg of Omega 3’s that is 1/3 of a childs daily intake , 19.4 grams of carbs with only 5grams of those being sugar. 1.6 grams of fibre. With a  $RRP of $1.50 each I would be happy to give these to my boys as a snack, I am pretty sure you don’t get great statistics like those above in a “chocolate bar”

DIY Herbal Vapor Rub Balm – A Natural Vicks-Style Decongestant for Cold and Flu Relief

When someone in the house starts sniffling, you just know it’s going to make the rounds. That’s when I reach for this homemade herbal vapor rub—our family’s go-to chest balm for easing congestion, coughs, and that heavy-headed sick feeling.

Made with gentle yet powerful essential oils, this balm works just like the classic Vicks rub (but without the synthetic stuff). It’s safe, effective, and smells like a eucalyptus grove with a hint of grandma’s medicine chest—in the best possible way!

Whether you’re treating a toddler’s sniffles or trying to head off a man cold, this DIY vapor rub will be your winter wellness MVP.

Why You’ll Love This Natural Decongestant Balm

  • No petroleum or nasties – A clean, green homemade Vicks alternative 
  • Gentle enough for kids – With optional adjustments for littlies 
  • Nourishing balm texture – Melts into skin without being greasy 
  • Essential oils – Provide cooling, clearing, and comforting support 
  • Customizable – Make it stronger for adults or extra-gentle for babies 

Ingredients

Base:

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (or olive oil for a softer balm) 
  • 2 tbsp shea butter or mango butter 
  • 2 tbsp beeswax pellets 

Essential Oil Blend (for adults):

  • 10 drops eucalyptus essential oil 
  • 8 drops peppermint essential oil 
  • 6 drops rosemary essential oil 
  • 4 drops tea tree essential oil 
  • 4 drops lavender essential oil 

Optional for kids under 5:
 Replace eucalyptus and peppermint with fir needle and cedarwood atlas, and halve the total essential oil amount.

How to Make Your Own Vapor Rub

  1. Melt the base:
     In a double boiler (or a bowl over simmering water), gently melt the coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax together. Stir until smooth and liquid. 
  2. Cool slightly:
     Remove from heat and let cool just a few minutes—enough that it’s no longer scalding hot but still liquid. 
  3. Add essential oils:
     Stir in your essential oil blend. Don’t add them too early or the heat will evaporate their goodness. 
  4. Pour into tins or jars:
     Carefully pour into a small glass jar or metal balm tin. Let cool completely before putting the lid on. 
  5. Label & store:
     Store in a cool place away from sunlight. Balm will keep for up to 6 months. 

How to Use Your Herbal Chest Rub

  • For chest and back: Rub a small amount onto chest, upper back, and soles of the feet during cold or flu season. 
  • For steam relief: Add a pea-sized amount to a bowl of steaming water, cover your head with a towel, and inhale. 
  • For headaches: Dab a touch on temples and neck (use caution and avoid eyes). 

Mum Tips

  • Patch test first if you’re unsure about sensitivities. 
  • Keep a tiny jar in your handbag during winter for on-the-go sniffles. 
  • For a nighttime version, add a few drops of Roman chamomile or lavender for extra sleep support.
