A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
My erstwhile boss was a chain cigar smoker. Each time he smoked his Black and Mild cigars, everyone in the office would know that he had stepped into the office and would be in their best behaviour! The air purifier didn’t help much either. When I was pregnant with Alycia and then Sherilyn, I tried…
Before Baby C, my 3rd daughter was born, I told myself that I would never ever want any of my kids to land themselves a job as a nurse. However, my point of view all changed ever since Baby C was diagnosed with Kidney Reflux when she was an infant. She was in and out…
Many people are amazed that despite having a hubby who is a food caterer (which naturally suggests that I am surrounded by lots of good food all the time), I can still stay slim. I love food very much too and I often succumb to the temptations surrounding me. But with a daily exercise regimen…
When my movement was limited recently due to a badly sprained back, I could not exercise for 4 days! 4 days of being sedentary was a shock to my body. I suffered from constipation for 2 days (which hardly ever happens) and I gained 1 pound in 4 days. I was really upset that I…
It’s close to midnight now and I can barely open my eyes. My brain is fogged and all I want now is my BED! But I can’t go to bed just yet. As usual, I have loads of unfinished work. I have several invoices to churn out and send out, orders to send to my…
Last night, I had planned to wake up at 5am to complete my never-ending pile of home. I got up at 5:30am today feeling fresh and raring to quickly complete some of the work, including a write-up on rv for sale BUT as usual, my plan is always thwarted. Baby also woke up at 5:30am…
Did you ever realize that when you do your shopping online, you actually consume less energy and this reduces carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 35 percent compared to shopping at traditional retail stores? Ever since Baby #3 came along, I have not had much time to do things that I used to love,…
I was wondering why the roads are so quiet and the usually packed road-side food stalls so devoid of people this morning. When I jogged back to my condo, the corridor at our condo was eerily quiet too. Just a moment ago, I called the national courier company but no one picked up my phone….
Rascal #2 came home from pre-school with a birthday party pack from one of her classmates the other day. Most of the items were junkies, which included chocolates wrapped in wrappers that resemble gold coins and silver coins. I remember during my childhood days, these gold coin and gold bullion look-alike chocolates and candies were…
My hubs brought home some homemade chocolate cake on Saturday. Gosh, the chocolate cake was so moist, so rich, so delish and so fattening! Lately, I tend to go weak and will fall for chocolate cakes. I have been gorging on a slice or two for 3 days and I now feel fat!! I stepped…
