A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
My parents have just arrived from Ipoh. My dad bought all my favorite food from Ipoh and I stuffed myself so much that I feel like puking now *greedy* We will be going out for dinner in a while but I am still feeling very bloated and stuffed. I feel like sweating it out for…
Ever since we discovered that Esberitox (made from the purple flower Echinacea) is effective in treating colds and flus, everyone in the family has been relying on this ‘wonder pill’. I swear by it and I think it works very effectively in treating colds and runny nose. For almost a year, none of us have…
Hubby bought some miniature honey dews from the fruit stall. When we saw it, we had no idea what it was. It didn’t look like the regular honey dew with smooth pale green skin. Instead, there were yellow and pale yellow stripes, which made it look like a pumpkin. The size of the miniature honey…
Everyone needs a detox treatment regularly to rid the toxins from our body. We are what we eat and many of us eat too much meat, processed food, fast food and junk food. If you feel sluggish all the time, feel bloated, have constipation, have acne and dull complexion and feel tired all the time,…
Last week, the hubs bought a bicycle. He told me that he will leave the car behind so that I can use it while he will cycle to work as his office is just 2 minutes away from where we stay, LOL! I’ll see if he has the guts to do that. Well if he…
My first menstruation after 27 months has been tremendously heavy, though no pain at all. I have always had heavy periods. But this time, it is exceptionally heavy. It’s so heavy that I have to change my pad every hourly. Last night I stained the bed badly. Fortunately there’s a plastic sheet underneath the bedsheet…
After breastfeeding Baby for 2 years 4 months and after wondering and waiting anxiously when my menses will ever come back, it finally came back today! I am still breastfeeding Baby, though my milk supply has decreased drastically for the past 2 weeks. I think the milk supply decrease has some connection with the menses…
Last week, I bought myself a pair of floral wedge sandals to try from my supplier. I must say that the quality is pretty good for the price I paid. Of course I cannot expect it to be as sturdy and comfortable as the well-known mbt shoes but I am overall pleased with it. Yesterday…
I got a pack of Magnolia Yoghurt Petite Low Fat Ice Cream With Yoghurt to try from a nearby super mart and I must say that they are really tasty — not too sweet and I think it is a healthier alternative to regular ice-creams. They are made from real strawberry juice, strawberry puree and…
My hubs bought a loaf of charcoal bamboo swiss roll cake from our favorite bakery the other day. It didn’t really look appealing because of the blackish/grayish color of the cake but it tasted good! Some ingredients used made the texture of the cake a little ‘crunchy’. The cream you see in the middle is…
