Renovation Thoughts

I am considering renovation for this blog. This blog needs more color.




Maybe next week.

Cold or Flu?

I have been busy the past few weeks. People are getting colds and flu all around me. And I have to take care of kids who caught the flu. Before the month of February ends, I came down with the flu.





So, what is colds and what is flu? According to USFDA, the two are almost similar. But flu or influenza when untreated can be serious because one can get pneumonia.

How would you know if it is a cold? If you have stuffed nose and sore throat, then it is cold. But when these symptoms comes with fever and body pains, that is flu.

These can be avoided by washing hands and avoiding contact with people who are already sick. Disinfectant is important and keeping dirty hands from entry points in the body such as nose and mouth can be preventive. If someone already got it, a doctor can be summoned once they started coughing and having high-grade fever.

If the budget can accommodate the price, flu shot is the best prevention. But before you get the shot ensure that you are not pregnant or does not have allergies. If you are already sick you must remember to have plenty of water and rest. The water will keep you hydrated and the rest will hep your body to heal.

With the global crisis at the background, getting sick should be avoided. Keep the body healthy by eating right and having exercise. A healthy mind helps too, so stop stressing out on irrelevant matters.

Smiling is helpful too, it keeps the heart light.

Beauty Products for Mom-to-be

Most women I know uses beauty products to maintain their good looks. I have tried different beauty products myself and always settle for those which I think do not have bad effect in the long run. Although I am a fan of technology advancement, I always make sure that anything that touches my skin is natural and safe. Also, as a chemical engineer I understand that chemicals leaves residue behind that can cause harm to the body. In fact, I prefer products made from herbs and botanical products. But it is very difficult to find those. This problem is magnified when a woman gets pregnant. The problem on acne and how to prevent it from recurring during pregnancy can be a major concern since this might result to an unhealthy skin later once not addressed during the time of pregnancy.

For someone like me who has been planning of having a child, pregnancy safety is very important. And I realized that even if I am not pregnant now, the possibility of becoming a Mom is very high. Hence, at this time I am already looking for beauty products that I will buy once I get pregnant. Beaute de Maman is a great find because their products were made by an obstetrician. And obstetrician knows what are good for the conceiving mother and its fetus. Hollywood personalities have testified about its effectiveness.

If you are pregnant, their products are worth considering. It can be sent out as a gift to pregnant friends and relatives. If you want to order now, try their website and be one of those who were able to maintain beauty even when carrying a child in the womb.
