Happy Thoughts

Too much going in our household right now that all my blogging plans and to-do’s need to take a backseat. Need to do a bit of living and making memories around here. However, the kids are on vacation, officially, but they go back for one more day for the announcement of honor students. It is hot and the little one is begging for a swimming pool so she can swim all day. Too bad we don’t have space for anything for more than a batya :P .

1. Kids officially on vacation.
2. Catching up on Project Life. I am now on week 10 (which makes me only a week behind).
3. Awesome weekend at the Shrine.
4. Another basketball tournament for Dad to join and us to cheer in.
5. Sibling bonding last weekend (Army Navy + Dance Central)
6. Medicines working.
7. Choc-ful of Martha-isms again. I thought we were officially done with that stage!
8. Good family picture for March
9. More workload. This means we have money for the influx of expenses that comes with summer and enrollment.
10. Grey’s Anatomy and TVD are back!

In other news I am trying to decide whether to throw a party for Martha, complete with led lighting backdrop or just forgo and just go on a swimming party. My parents will not be here on her birthday so we need to make other plans. That and the closest weekend to Mart’s birthday is again, Mother’s Day!

Natural Supplements for the Family

We are always in the know when it comes to our family’s health and wellness which is why more and more mothers are now turning to natural for their family and that includes natural supplements. Synthetic medications and supplements are fast acting but most of them cause side effects and they do more harm than good with prolonged use.

There are several benefits from natural vitamins and supplements, here are a few:

  1. They naturally help your metabolism, helping you lose weight.
  2. They are absorbed in the body more quickly.
  3. With no side effects, mood swings can be eliminated as some synthetic supplements affect even the emotional aspect of the patient.
  4. Energy level is higher because the supplements are absorbed fully in the system.
  5. If you give the full attention to your body, all parts will function well even you and your husband’s sexual performance.
  6. Even food intolerance can be eliminated which is very important in absorption.

Natural supplements have been around for years but only today that it is becoming more popular than vitamin supplements, more doctors and patients are now recognizing that it’s more effective than most synthetic supplements, of course with healthier lifestyle.

Skin Problem: Melasma

When managing a family, a woman seems to forget herself. You get yourself busy in managing the household with regards to finances, homework of the kids, taking care of your family, paying the bills and a lot more that taking care of your skin takes a backseat.

One of the most common skin problems for women my age is Melasma.

Melasma is brown or dark skin discoloration. They are commonly found on the upper cheek, lips, upper lip, nose and forehead. It can affect anyone but it is very common in women especially during pregnancy and those with hormonal imbalance.

Causes of Melasma:

. Pregnancy
. Excessive Sun Exposure
. Hormonal Contraceptives such as Oral Contraceptives
. Soaps and Other Skin Products that can react with exposure to the sun
. Thyroid Disease
. Unknown Factors

The most effective treatment of Melasma is to consult your doctor and seek professional help to beauty institutions like Cultura Med that uses several techniques in treating patients. Visit their website and discover about Reveal Medspa and know more about their other treatments like the Laser Hair Removal.

Women who manage the home shouldn’t neglect themselves, we should always be aware of our health inside and out. If we don’t take care of ourselves we wouldn’t be able to take care of our loved ones.

Starting a family is a beautiful time between you and your spouse. You two have taken the next step in your relationship to introduce children into your lives. A child changes everything including your financial decision, your daily routine, and even your marital relationship. While there are many things to be excited about family planning, it is important to be aware of what you should avoid.

Financial Instability

The cost of raising a child is high and can vary based on your child’s individual needs. In order to be prepared, make sure you and your partner are financially stable. There are the necessities to consider such as diapers, baby formula, and clothes.

Most of the infant items, like the baby gears, can be handed down from other parents whose children are grown. But, diapers and formula will be a recurring cost until the child is potty trained. You also have to consider other things like basic necessities, education, and household expenses.

Emotional Unpreparedness

It’s important for both individuals to be emotionally prepared for a child. A child will require lots of attention and care. This also means you will have to be patient and understanding as they’re little beings learning their new environment. If you or your partner is not emotionally ready to handle a child, it’s probably not the best move.

Health Problems

Women need to take special care of themselves when it comes to pregnancy. Did you know that about one in four pregnancies result in miscarriages each year? Complications that can attribute to a miscarriage are high blood pressure, overweight, diabetes, and other diseases.

Before you begin to think about a pregnancy, make sure you are in good health. In addition, being healthy is not only important for the mother but also for the father. A healthy partner can contribute their time and energy to helping the mother care for their child.

Unhealthy Relationship

One thing most parents do is to have a child because they just want one, or they feel that it will help their partner remain with them. A child is not the same as taking care of a pet. He is a little human being who will depend on you and your partner for holistic growth. He needs to be nurtured and require so much more care and attention than that of a pet.

Having a baby because you want to keep your partner is wrong. If there are complications between you and your partner, don’t try to fix it with a child. The only one who will suffer is the child, and the parent may even begin to resent them subconsciously.

If your relationship is not working right, settle the problem between you two. This may even call for the need of a Bergen County Divorce Attorney. Sometimes, two people just don’t mesh well, and therefore separation is probably a better fix than having a child.

If you don’t have children yet, remember that it is important to be financially stable and have a healthy relationship before considering children. Many children grow up in households where they are raised by a single parent, or they are old enough to understand the complications of a divorce. If you have already decided to start a family, keep the children’s well-being in mind, no matter what the situation is between you and your spouse.

There is no greater responsibility for a parent than keeping themselves and their family safe. Parents protect their families in many ways including insurance, clothes, shelter, and day care. However, it’s a commonplace for parents to take their family’s safety for granted while out on the open road. Indeed, car accidents are a leading cause of death for children, teenagers, and adults. Precautions are essential to preventing such a tragedy in your family.

Car accidents do not always occur just because someone beats the red light, or from drunk drivers behind the wheel. For instance, a car accident lawyer White Plains, New York, recently took on a case where a child got injured in a back-over case in a grocery store’s parking lot. The child was seriously injured when a driver failed to check if anyone or anything was behind the car. Unfortunately, this type of case is not unusual, as about 228 people die each year in back-over accidents in New York State alone, and 44% of victims are under the age of five.

Certainly in these cases, children benefit not only from proper driver awareness, but also from parents who keep a diligent eye on their young ones. As an example, a child who is holding his parent’s hand, as opposed to running in a parking lot, is more protected from a driver who is inobservant to his surroundings. However, most car accidents involve two moving vehicles. Take the following steps to help make sure your child’s safe the next time you drive to the open road.

Always Wear Your Seatbelt

How important is wearing your seatbelt? It’s important enough that most manufactured cars these days will produce an annoying alarm if someone has not clicked a seatbelt. Furthermore, most states have enacted laws making it illegal not to wear a safety belt while driving. What’s more significant is that seatbelts save lives, and prevent serious injuries and deaths that results from car accidents. Always make sure to check your child’s seatbelt as well as your own.

Keep your Speed Limit

It’s the rare and noble driver who has never gone more than a few miles over the speed limit. While most drivers, who go beyond the speed limit, worry only about the consequences a police radar can produce. Speeding is also a leading cause of road fatalities. Reduce your speed while driving, never exceed five miles over the posted limit, to keep your family safe while traveling.

Make Sure Your Windshield is Clean

Believe it or not, the cause of a fatal car crash is often as simple as a dirty windshield. In the winter, drivers may start driving before the windshield has defrosted. In other cases, a driver who fails to replace washer fluid, ignoring a dirty windshield for weeks also causes fatal car crash. A clean windshield is essential to safe traveling, so replace your windshield fluid immediately when empty.

I’ve been religiously pampering myself lately just to take care of myself more and I’ve been going in and out of the salon on a regular basis and I noticed how lucrative this kind of business is. I noticed that more salon businesses are now focusing on the aesthetic aspect of their place, giving enough attention and money in spending for the best salon equipment for their business.


There are three key areas in a salon and most often than not, the business owners should focus more on these areas for the clients to enjoy more time inside.

1. Waiting Area – this is usually the place where clients sit and wait for their turn to be pampered. Most salons these days put comfortable sofas, sometimes a television and with ample array of magazine collection for the clients to read so they won’t get bored while waiting. I went to some salons where staff offers drinks like coffee and tea to clients.
2. Styling Area – this is the place where everything is usually done from cutting to coloring to styling. Business owners should focus on investing for salon styling chairs that are very comfortable for their clients. Some salons use double mirrors to cater more customers, I prefer the more intimate salons where there are just ample amount of traffic going on making it more relaxing to clients being serviced.
3. Washing Area – it is very important to give enough space for this area. Some salons give less space for this making it uncomfortable for their staff to do the washing of their client’s hair.

Owners should invest more on effective beauty products, the best salon styling chairs and well-trained staff. As for me, aside from the best service, I look for the cleanliness and aesthetic part of the salon and those chairs, because most often than not, I spend so much time in a salon and nothing beats a comfortable chair while being pampered.

Teenagers are more likely to be involved in automobile accidents than adults. Some of these accidents can be attributed to reckless or distracting behavior such as texting, talking on cell phones or playing loud music. However, even mature, responsible teens lack the driving experience that helps seasoned drivers avoid accidents.

One problem that teen drivers face is the assumption that they have caused an accident. Even when the other driver is at fault, it is easy to blame the younger driver simply because of his or her age. Aside from the obvious risk of injury, this is another reason why teens should drive responsibly and avoid distractions.

Distracted Driving

Be sure to emphasize to your teen driver the importance of staying focused on safety and avoiding distracting behaviors. Many states place so much importance on safe driving for teens that they have enacted special traffic laws and penalties that apply to teens only. For instance, California has special restrictions for drivers under the age of 20 regarding night driving and transporting passengers.

Cell phones and texting are two major distractions for drivers of all age groups. Even if your state does not have special texting-while-driving laws in place, be sure your teen driver refrains from using all texting devices while behind the wheel. It only takes a split second for a personal injury accident to occur. Even if the other driver is at fault, teens need to be focused enough to avoid or minimize collisions.

Reckless Driving

Unfortunately, California teenagers have a reputation for reckless driving behaviors like speeding, racing, accelerating through yellow lights and tailgating. Statistics show that there is a basis for this reputation. According to the National Safety Council, teens are far more likely than adults to be involved in a fatal accident, and that excessive speed and alcohol play a major role in these crashes. It’s important that your teen understands that driving is a privilege, and one that he or she can lose through reckless driving.

Pedestrians

As if there weren’t enough danger in being behind the wheel, walking in roadways can also lead to serious personal injury accidents. Tragically, many non-driving teens have been injured in hit and run pedestrian accidents. Teens should be extra careful by walking into the direction of traffic, and wearing light colored clothing at night. Groups should stay close to the curb by walking single file instead of side-by-side. Emphasize why walking in the road instead of on the sidewalk is dangerous to your teen.

Hopefully your teenage driver respects California driving rules and obeys the state’s traffic laws. Unfortunately not all drivers do. If your teen has been involved in a serious accident, especially where there has been a fatality, it’s important to have legal representation before making any statements. Enlist the help of a San Francisco Fatal Accident Attorney before your teen talks to any insurance company, the media or anyone who asks for information.
