A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
In just 2 days, our country will go through a general election. For the past month, my social network site has been flooded with pictures, hostile postings from both fractions and articles on the general election. There have been so many postings on what both parties have been up to, in order to win. What…
With my latest craze over maple syrup, I drizzle a generous amount of it on my wholemeal bread almost everyday. Today, I made a peanut butter sandwich and drizzled maple syrup on it, then wedged in wedges of ripened avocado. And the combo was piquant — creamy and nutty with the unique sweetness of maple…
After my former live-in helper left us last year, I discovered that our washing machine was terribly infested with black mildew in the detergent compartment and the rubber rim at the door. I had a hard time scrubbing the mildew away. The rubber rim is still badly stained with black mold, which cannot be wiped…
Today I found a punnet of fresh portobello mushrooms in the fridge. It has been sitting there for over a week. My MIL bought it but she is now away for a few days and would not be cooking it for the next few days. So I decided to cook mushrooms omelet with it. As…
Rascal #2 is now officially bespectacled! After three checks with the optician and ophthalmologist, I am now convinced that she has Astigmatism. She was actually diagnosed with Astigmatism since early last year but I was not convinced with the tests down by the optician and later the ophthalmologist. After the third test, I was finally…
Today during my routine morning run, I was thinking hard about what to dish out for lunch and dinner as the mil will be away for a few days. For a perpetually time-challenged WFHM, I can only dish out meals that are easy to prepare with minimal oil splatters and minimal dish washing that can…
Maple syrup is my latest love at breakfast! I love drizzling maple syrup on my buttered bread slices. I discovered my love for maple syrup by accident actually! You see, there is this big bottle of maple syrup from Canada that my SIL gave me last year and I hardly ever use it as we…
Today, I went for a hair cut… yeah, finally, when I could no longer tolerate my long hair almost touching my waist. It is darn irritating to have a bunch of hair brushing on my shoulders and my back when I run in the morning. So after dropping off Sherilyn at the ballet centre, hubs…
Rascal #2 had tummy ache and lay on the bed. Rascal #3 ran to her sister and hugged her tummy. I told #3 to massage some T36 C5 Melaleuca tea tree oil on her che che’s tummy. She did and gave her che che a good 5-minute tummy massage. I don’t think I have the patience…
Of late, there has been so much hype on the health benefits of coconut oil. The other day, a friend gave us a bottle of expensive pure coconut oil and my mil used it for the first time to stir-fry some green leafy veggie (the leaves of sweet potato to be exact). For someone who…
