  • Baule Elephant Rider Mami Wata Statue, Ivory Coast #1104
  • Materials: Wood, paint
  • Presumed seniority: Over 30 years.
  • Baoulé rider, ethnic group from the center of Côte d'Ivoire. Representation of Mami Wata, mastering a snake held above her head, and riding an elephant. Painted type patina, with harmonious shades. Fine and very delicate sculpture, teeming with details.
  • The painted statuettes cover very varied areas in Africa. Generally devoted to the worship of the ancestors, the geniuses of fertility or divination, they are found on altars, canoes, in houses or carried on either, among peoples as different as the Yoruba, the Fanti, the Akan, the Ewe etc.
  • They appeared with colonization, hence their name. Contrary to what is said according to some sources, they are not intended to ridicule "the white man". By appropriating the power of the settler, presented with an accessory of European origin, they fully participate in the animist cult. The settler continues to be born, in certain ethnic groups, and to appear according to the rites, customs and traditions of ancestral Africa.
  • To fall in love with these statuettes with fun looks and silhouettes. there is no need to be keen on the culture of African societies or to love traditional art. This is one of the specificities of this expression of "Art Colon". The touching and tender side, laughter, awakens the fiber of the child that lies dormant in each of us.
  • Reflection statuettes, hinge statuettes, they express a whole slice of history, and even for those who know how to dream a little, a whole slice of the future.
  • Measurements:  34.5 x 16.5 x 20 cms.

They prevent leaks, and fit great!
We have always used Huggies diapers for our babies and young toddlers because they were the only ones that never leaked or caused a rash. My second daughter was fully potty trained at 2.5 years old and never needed pull-ups. However, our third daughter, who also trained at 2.5 years old, digressed with her nighttime potty training due to instability - we moved twice within the first 6 weeks after she potty trained. So we had to get pull-ups for her to wear at night. Obviously since we loved Huggies diapers, we tried Huggies Pull-Ups, and again, they did not disappoint! They never leak, even on nights when she doesn't get up to go at all, and has lots of pee, and they have never caused a rash either, no matter how full. She's been using them for 1.5 years, at night, and we have never had any issues. They are dependable: decently comfortable to the child, do not cause rashes, fit properly with the ability to adjust at the thigh (if needed), and they prevent leaks! I highly recommend them!

Finally, a good night's sleep.
For almost a year, I've had sleep issues. No problem falling asleep, but I'd wake up 3 hours later and be up for the next 2-3 hours. I'd finally fall back asleep just a bit before the alarm and spend the rest of the day in a fog. It didn't matter whether I went to bed at 8:30 pm or 11pm - I was still up by 1:30-2 and awake for hours. It gradually got worse and I got desperate. A friend recommended Melatonin and I resisted at first, having tried it after our daughter was born (almost 15 years ago). The tablets I took then had some odd side effects and I only took them for a few weeks before throwing the bottle away. Now, I think I have have been taking far too high of a dose, because these 3mg tablets work great. Be careful when you take them! I'm awake and alert for about 20 minutes and then zone out totally - even in the middle of a conversation. After a couple of months, I've learned to just lay a tablet on my nightstand and take it when I'm ready to turn out the light. It works great: cured the problem of middle of the night sleeplessness. I still wake up sometimes at night, but have no trouble dropping back off to sleep. And when I wake up in the morning, I'm alert, energetic, and not already counting the hours until I can go back to bed to get a good night's sleep. For me, this supplement would have been a good buy at twice the price - and my family agrees. I'm rested, cheerful, and so happy I gave it a try. So far, no bad side effects. In fact, no side effects at all. I am taking it daily, but considering trying it on a more limited basis because of concerns about long-term effects. Considering, but haven't done it yet because I'm so enjoying a good night's sleep that I'm afraid to tinker with success! Although I saw results the very first night I took this, I waited to write a review just in case it was a placebo effect at work. But it's been 11 weeks and I'm confident that this product is really effective for me.

Time release.. ONLY way to go
Used this brand before... when refill needed, came back for more. Time release is the best way to go as it works all night. Not one big hit when you 1st go to sleep... A nice "hit"... to get you to sleep and then a slow release of the rest, to KEEP you asleep... Don't think you'll be disappointed. I use sustained release with any vitamin/supplement I take (assuming the company makes it) .. including this. It's the best way to allow your body to utilize the product.

A subtle sleep enhancer.
Melatonin, in my experience, is a very subtle drug. I took it for about a month and then stopped before I actually saw what it was doing. It allowed me to fall asleep quicker and when I woke up during the night, to fall back asleep quicker as well. No more tossing and turning. I prefer the timed release version since I tend to sleep about 4-5 hours straight and then wake up sporadically after that. I had been buying the timed release from GNC but this brand is much cheaper, more pills, and just as effective. I've also tried popping another one after that initial 4-5 stretch of sleep to further prolong sleepy time, but I don't know how effective that is. It doesn't put you to sleep, so there's no grogginess when you wake up. It just jump starts the natural process.
