Going to the gym

Posted on by

My husband’s company offered the workers a great opportunity for a gym membership and we took advantage of it. We enrolled at the family gym last week and we will start going to the gym on Sunday, which is tomorrow. We don’t have to worry about baby-sitting because the plan offers it as well. We saved a lot of money and thanks to my husband’s company for offering such an amazing deal. My husband and I had been thinking about this fitness class but for some reason we keep on putting it on hold. What’s good about this is that there’s no contract and we can go there whenever we want to, they’re flexible with our time. We also have personal trainer, which I think so cool. My husband and are so excited, we want to start changing our lifestyle by doing some exercise. We are so concerned about our health and we want to stay healthy for our kids.

Want some?

Posted on by

My husband was craving for salad, so he fixed salad for our dinner. This is yummy and tasty. I didn’t even have to put some salad dressing on it because it already taste delicious without it. Honestly speaking, we rarely eat green salad; it’s bad because that where we got a lot of nutrients that our body needs. Why is it so hard to eat foods that are healthy, and easy to eat foods that are unhealthy? My daughter, she can eat these kinds of food, but my son, ugh! He won’t even bother tasting it, which is sad. My son is a picky eater and he never likes fruits and vegetables. I had to bribe him just to let him taste a small piece and when he does, it’ll sit in his mouth forever. I hope he will eventually love healthy food like fruits and vagetables.

Ergonomic pen – UGLee Pen Review

Posted on by

Are you Writers? How many of you out here write a lot? Would you consider buying a comfort pen that would help you eliminate discomforts when it comes to writing? I definitely would, no doubt about that. I had been searching for a good pen and I can’t seem to find it. I heard a lot about UGLee Pen from a common friends online and I even seen it was discussed at the show called “The Doctors”. They made me so curious about this pen. I searched it online and as soon as I found it, I send a pitch letter to the company asking them if they could provide me a sample for product review, which they agreed. I was so thrilled by it because I’ve been wanted to have a nice and comfortable pen. What’s ironic about the name of the UGLee pen, is that you may think the pen is “UGLY”. No! It’s not because the spelling itself is totally different and besides “UGLee” stands for (Ultimate Grip and that is invented by Dr. Lee). This pen is by the way the only Doctor’s designed pen, which is really amazing because it helps people who suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis. It helps them to give a good grip when writing. This is also great for children who just started learning how to write. It has a rubber material that I think almost felt like I’m holding a jelo. It’s really comfortable and I love it. I just want to emphasize just like what Dr. Lee had said in an interview at one of the local shows here in San Diego, that this pen is not primarily design for a fashion pen, BUT it’s design for comfortability. You should all try Dr. Lee’s amazing Ergonomic pen.

Milk Unleashed review

Posted on by

Every kid should drink at least 3 glasses of milk everyday. That’s what my children’s pediatrician said. My children loves milk especially when it’s flavored like chocolate milk. Well, who wouldn’t love it anyway? I’m sure adults loves milk as well. But it will make a difference if the milk we introduced to our family is organic. It may not be the cheapest milk but for sure we will all get the right nutrients and vitamins from these kinds of milk. As you can see in the picture below, my children were indulging the goodness of Milk Unleashed. They are so good that my husband and I had some too. As a matter of fact, my children won’t even stop opening our refrigerator for it.

I was so fortunate that I was able to get approved for Milk Unleashed product review. They sent me 5 different kinds of milk and all of them were delicious. We love it not only from its tastiness but it does not require to be refrigerated up to 7 to 10 days, which is really cool. I can take it anywhere on the go, without having to worry about spoiling it. Shelf safe milk is also another term for this milk. You should try it for your young ones. They can get good benefits from this milk, health wise. They have Twitter, you can follow them for more updates and exciting news.

Review: B Natural Organics Anti-Aging Products

Posted on by

Do you have beauty rituals? When do you usually apply your beauty regimens, is it morning or at night, before bedtime? We all want to look beautiful, do you agree? We all have different ways to achieve the kind of beauty we would like to have. I am no different. I do have beauty rituals and that is first thing in the morning. I have oily skin and every time I wake up and look in the mirror, I usually see an oily face, which can be very unpleasant at times and it can ruin my day as well because I don’t feel beautiful. Mind you friends, we all are beautiful in our own little ways, it can be physically and mentally. We just have to have good self-esteem and be confident at ourselves.

Anyway, I always make sure that I have oil-free facial cleanser and oil-free moisturizer to complete my day. Without it, my face would feel so dry and icky. I will be uncomfortable the whole day especially when I’m outdoor. Since I’m always on the look out for some beauty products that will help me look younger, I browsed online and I stumbled on this product called B Natural Organics. I was curious since I haven’t tried organic beauty products yet. I sent letter to the website owner asking for a product sample, fortunately I got a positive response. They sent me a set of their beauty products, the Cleanse, Exfoliate, Balance and Moisturizer/Protect. I tried them last night and I love it. After I cleansed my face I feel like my face was really clean. What’s good about this product is that it’s pure ingredients, botanical and it utilizes breakthrough technology in its ability to harness active plant enzymes for cellular health and repair. You should try it.

You probably won’t notice any change just by looking at the photo, but when you use the product, you will surely confess the credibility of B Natural Organics products.

What is the proper posture when sitting down?

Posted on by

Ever since I started blogging I tend to sit in front of the computer for a very long period of time, although I get up in between those time to do some chores and other stuff that requires me to get up. Now that I am getting hooked into improving my blogs statistics, I sit more than I used too. However I noticed some change in my health. I started developing back and neck pains, which I think has something to do with my sitting position while I’m in my computer. Slouching for sure doesn’t help, I think it even worsen my back and neck pain. The worst pain I’m getting is on my upper right back because of the muscles and constricted tissues from over using my arms from clicking the computer mouse.

I just had my massage yesterday and every time the masseuse presses my upper right back with her elbow, I can hear some cracking, I think my muscles are constricted and veins were dislocated (idk) which causing the discomfort when I’m in the computer. I even develop carpal tunnel syndrome from repetitive motion. Do you experience it too?

We need to correct our posture when we’re doing something on the computer, here are some helpful tips;

  • Keep the spine in the proper position,
  • Your ears should align with your shoulders
  • Your shoulders should align with your hips.
  • Keep your arms relaxed and close to the body.
  • While typing, your hands must remain in line with the wrists and lower arms.

Fever hasn’t subside yet

Posted on by

I have no idea of what is going on with me. My temperature is stagnant at 99.5 and it’s not going down. I am not taking any medication unless if I can’t take my body sores anymore. I usually take ibuprofen or Advil for pain relief. I do have chills once in awhile and headaches. I already had my blood test done and I haven’t got any results from it yet, well, usually they’ll call when something is wrong but when results are normal, they won’t ring us anymore. I just hope that nothing is wrong with me that need some serious attention. My Doctor told me that when we have high temperature that means our body is fighting to some kind of infection. I should check in to my doctor again in a few days and see what’s going on.

I’m sick!

Posted on by

I was supposed to have a minor procedure this morning but as soon as they checked me for temperature, they asked me if I’m sick, and it’s not that I know of. Well, lately I’ve been having some chills especially at nighttime. My body is sore and I kind of having shortness of breath. However, I thought it was just a stress but after I spoke to the doctor, she told me that stress wouldn’t give me high temperature it could be infection. So my appointment was cancelled instead she ordered me to have blood test done and did a culture test for my throat since I told her I feel like there’s sticky phlegm right in my throat and it’s bothering me for days now. I hope nothing serious about my sickness, I cant afford to get sick these days and whenever.

I tried to take naps but I couldn’t because of my minor children, I just won’t trust them alone while i’m asleep. I took 3 different strong pain medication this morning as part of the instruction for my medical procedure which made me even more tired and exhausted. I feel like the earth is dragging me down.

Breakfast is his favorite meal

Posted on by

I do make sure that we have available cereals in our pantry because that’s what my son eats for his breakfast. He loves to eat healthy breakfast meal and serving him with oatmeal and cereals in it would be his perfect meal for the day. That’s how he gets his fiber aside from vegetables. For some reason, my son never gets tired of eating the same breakfast meal each day. If he missed eating this kind of food in the morning, he’ll ask it for dinner. I love to purchase a variety of cereals because I want him to try different flavors and texture. Though he has a few favorites but he still loves to explore its flavors and goodness of taste. A few days ago, I went to the local store and purchased these Natural Laxative Cereal manufactured by Attune Food. Guess what? It tastes really good and excellent in flavor. My son ate it with appreciation. He kept on saying “Yummy, I love this mommy”. Well, that’s my boy. Serve him oatmeal and cereal and he’ll be the happiest camper ever.

You should try these cereals. I love how tasty it is. I was munching on it without milk. The nutty taste of it is perfect and the fact that it’s made of wheat grains is something that we should all consider to serve for our loved ones breakfast meals. This will serve as our alternative fibers. It’s really good.

Indulging organic products

Posted on by

I am trying to eat the right food and start a healthy lifestyle. Majority of my friend suggested me to eat organic foods because they are healthier than non-organic stuff. For instance, for me to be able to buy organic vegetable, I have to constantly check on the label that says organic or I can go to a local produce store that merchandizes pretty much organic products, which I would love to do. 

As I was searching for some organic sweet treats online and I came across with Newman’s Own Organics products. They market all kinds of organic snack foods and they got me curious, so, I went ahead and ordered goodies from them. I ordered 6 different flavors of organic dark chocolate, 3 different kinds of organic cookies and that includes organic oatmeal cookies, organic sugar twists with 4 different flavors, organic dried apple and dried cranberries and organic pretzels. Well, some of these snack foods I have will probably be consumed in just a few. I don’t have to worry about my family, especially my kids from eating it since it’s made from organic foods. 

Mind you friends, this company started their business since 1993, the first product produced was pretzels and as their business grew, their snack foods have also expanded, many of these organic items are the following; coffee, tea, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, organic dried fruit, including organic pet food. Accordingly, the partners anticipate adding a number of new items each year. You can actually check out their Facebook Fan Page for new additional organic snack foods.
