Wishful thinking... :)

I'm crossing my fingers really tight for tomorrow.

How Do I Smell

Every lady takes how they smell very seriously. We girls have always been conscioused about this certain aspect of our body. Like for example, I never go out of the house without wearing any of my signature scents and I try so hard not to move so much so that I could avoid sweating. Vanity is well displayed my the female gender, but now a days, men are not that scared to express their desire to look and smell good too.

Anyways, I made this post to give you, my friends an idea of how I smell. :)

The Truth About Infant Formula

“In the United States there are no generic infant formulas. The truth is all infant formulas are subject to the same regulations governing manufacturing and ingredients as stipulated by the Infant Formula Act,” said Dr. Barbara Levine, Weill Cornell Medical College. “Store-brand infant formulas sold at major retailers are therefore a premium nutritional substitute at a value price and meet the same exacting FDA nutritional requirements as all the major brands. As a nutritionist I know the truth about infant formula: there is no nutritional reason to buy the much more expensive formulas sold by the big pharmaceutical companies. The quality and safety of the manufacturing are also inspected in same way by the FDA.”

Attention dear parents... Did you know that breast feeding can make you save up to $2,000 per year? Health care providers encourage mothers to practice breast feeding to promote health and bonding for both the mom and the infant. A great example of its illness prevention properties amongst newborns is the fact that breast milk contain natural immunoglobulin that can be delivered to the baby in help to fight off infections.

There is actually no baby formula available right now in the market that can totally replace breast milk. Buying an inexpensive infant formula does not mean that your baby is getting less compared to if he or she will be consuming a more expensive one from larger and well known pharmaceutical companies. Like for example, Parent's Choice Milk based DHA and ARA costs $12.8 cheaper than Nestle's Good Start Supreme DHA and ARA. This surprisingly let's me save $55.1 per month or a whopping $661.90 per year. That amount could be placed into some more good use for the whole family, especially if you're in a tight budget. The FDA controls the product's quality by making sure that each brand meet their standards through careful and strict inspection before they get approved for selling. So rest assure that your baby is getting the adequate nutrition he or she needs no matter what.

WIC, a federal agency that provides nutrition, counseling, food, and access to health care service for women, infants, and children who are in a low-income will be reallocating its funding for all currently provided foods, including infant formula, baby foods, juices, and fresh fruits and vegetables. This means, parents who were previously assisted by WIC will have to purchase regular formula at their own expense thus helping the promotion of breast feeding as well.

So in conclusion, breast milk is the best and most inexpensive way for you to nourish your infant.

Whatever?!

I got to see this video through a posted link from Facebook. I had no idea that it was funny. I just assumed that the video was of a really cute kid doing her thing to impress the grown ups around her.

Isn't she the sweetest??! I think she's so cute! I could watch her video all day and not get tired of it... This video doesn't stop putting a big smile in my face. I hope by watching this, you could feel the same way as I did. This surely takes a load off from your back.

The Life of a Nurse

This picture was taken several months ago during a 2 to 10pm shift at the hospital where I used to work. The photo very well describes a life of a nurse here in the Philippines. These are examples of the objects that we see and make use of everyday.

The stethoscope helps s assess our patient's vital signs. The calculator helps us accurately compute for the patient's proper intravenous and drug dosage. The bottle of IV fluid that we administer to clients who has any fluid and electrolyte imbalance or to keep the patient's vein open as prescribed by the doctor. A fresh unopened syringe that we always have in our pockets to be prepared for any emergency. The standard black, blue, and red pens that we use for proper documentations. An ipod, to keep us company. And a couple of cigarettes for those people that needs it for stress reduction.

But no matter how tiring the job is... At the end of the day, your overwhelmed of the feeling that you did something good for someone by making them feel better despite of their weak condition.

NannySoft Updates You

Kids today are very fortunate to have the luxury of using the internet. Back then, we could only rely on the telephone and the good old fashion house visits whenever we wanted to keep in touch with a certain person. I have nieces and nephews who already know how to work their way through the world wide web as early as 4 years old. I got to admit that it's pretty impressive but this issue still bothers me a lot. For example, my cousin whose 12, already has her own Facebook account. This kind of scares me because most of the social networking sites available right now are very interactive and has poor privacy policies. Children are in great danger from the fast growing head count of child predators in the internet.

My friends who have kids tell me that it's harmless since they only allow their children to use the computer under their supervision. But come on? Kids are very smart. How are you so sure that they really don't go online whenever you're not around? Thankfully, I discovered NannySoft. It's a software that discretely allows you to monitor what your children are doing whenever their surfing the net. This will surely provide relief for those busy parents who can't keep their eye on their kids as much as they have to.

Try to visit NannySoft to download their free trial right now. Their website provides you with screenshots of the software to give you a good view as to how easy to use it.

Melt with You

We started as friends. Then as time passed by, we turned into secret lovers... Bonded by silence and restrictions because of certain conditions laid out at the time. We had days that we felt like we've given it our all. There were even times when we have thought of giving up. But no matter how hopeless our future seemed before, we didn't stop trying. It's so magical whenever the road I choose to take always led me to you.

Another year, another chance for us to grow... To love, and to become better. There wouldn't be a me right now if it hadn't been because of you. I am strong and aggressive because I want to be your protector... Knowing you're there behind me helps me think I could do whatever. I'm not scared to break down everyday as long as you'll be there to pick up the pieces with me. I wouldn't mind getting hurt if it was because of you.

Loving you is so easy... For I see no conditions... No wrongs... And no limitations.

Acne Treatment

I’m already 23 and I still deal with the occasional acne spurt every month (just before my period). It was a lot worse back in high school but it totally made a setback just before I entered college. I used a lot of anti-acne creams on my face that was prescribed by the dermatologist. It worked for quite some time but I developed a bad reaction to it. It contained Benzoyl Peroxide... But I didn’t know that it could cause harmful effects at the time so I didn’t hesitate to apply it on my skin.

Because of what happened, I became really furious to anything that I’ll be putting on my face. Ever since then, I think the natural way is the Best Acne Treatment for everyone. Diet modification is always good. Eating healthy can prevent us from getting horrible acne. Or sleeping for a good 8 hours per day is a great idea too.

We should take good care of our skin all the time. It’ll be the first thing that other people would be noticing from you.
