A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
I had a terribly painful and uncomfortable time sleeping throughout the night yesterday. I woke up at about 4am with severe pain on my back. I could hardly lie flat on my back and had a painful time trying to move my body. Each time I breathed, I felt terrible pain on my pain and…
I returned from my short break in Ipoh and Penang yesterday. And end up with a badly twisted upper back. I must have sprained it while bathing Baby. Baby fussed and refused to have her hair washed while standing or sitting. She wanted me to carry her. The bathroom did not have a stool and…
For the past 3 days, both my eyes feel very, very heavy and achy. It’s not painful but very very tired and droopy. When I wake up in the morning, I feel my eyes covered with some sticky stuff, thus blurring my vision. It felt the same this morning though I have had 7 hours…
When I don’t feel well, all I want to eat is bread. Yup, I can eat bread 3x a day and not get fed up of it. I just love bread. This is my breakfast: A hard boiled free range chicken egg and a slice of homemade pumpkin-sunflower seeds bread with cream cheese spread and…
I recently discovered that my used face mask can be utilized to ‘mask’ my super dry feet and cracked heels too. I don’t know if anyone else does that too. I find that such an expensive facial mask can be put to better use instead of throwing it into the bin after 15 minutes of…
After feeling sluggish, lethargic and listless for the past few days, I started drinking Yomeishu again. During my 3rd confinement, I had received 2 bottles of Yomeishu from friends.

Though I am a health freak, I tend to have a weakness for certain snacks and carbs like cookies, cakes, bread and the occasional sinful Cheezels, Twisties and fish muruku 😀 And do you know that I eat my carbs mostly in the morning and during lunch time? After 3pm, I try to refrain from…
When I am in no mood to cook a proper meal for the kids for lunch, they get to eat green tea noodles with cold cha soba sauce and fried eggs, sandwiches or toasts. As for me, I’ll either eat toasts and sandwiches (which are my favorites) or simple yoghurt with muesli and lots of…
The other day, I noticed a small white horizontal line on one of Sherilyn’s fingernail. I wasn’t alarmed because once in a blue moon, I have it too. I have read somewhere that this could be a sign of a vitamin deficiency. Coincidentally, I also have a small white horizontal line on one of my…
I’ve been having cracked heels for several years now. I’ve tried almost every cracked heel cream in the market including Vaseline petroleum jelly but none really works. Each time I show the hubs my cracked heel, he would suggest bringing me to see a skin specialist. But being a procrastinator, I have yet to make…
