A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Everyone in the house has been having cough and sore throat. I think we all got bitten by the bug from our visiting friend who had a bad throat infection. Sherilyn got bitten first, then Alycia, next my mil, then me and now the hubs is down and it’s pretty bad. Baby is also showing…
When I wrote in Facebook that I was having a bad sore throat, Michelle was quick to tell me that she chewed on basil leaves to treat her sore throat. Coincidentally my mil bought a few pots of basil leaves from the supermarket (to make Pesto sauce) and I pinched a handful of those leaves…
Baby has another eye chalazion after an eye chalazion surgery about 2 months ago. Lightning does strike on the same place twice!! This time it’s on her left upper eyelid. 2 months ago, she had it on her right lower eyelid. A chalazion is a lump in the eyelid caused by a blocked oil gland….
I don’t look forward to the weekends. On weekends when my 3 kids are at home, I barely have a breather. I don’t even have the luxury to sit down to have my breakfast or to read the newspapers. Ever since I started running an online store, I have lost some weight. Let me tell…
My throat ain’t feeling too good early this week. It was really sore and itchy and I had no appetite to eat anything that’s hard, fried or spicy.

I have a friend who used to suffer from acne ever since she was a teenager right through her twenties. It was so bad that she was prescribed with oral antibiotics and Vitamin E, which she had to eat for many months. The results were good and the acne stopped appearing. But the acne scars…
I don’t know if anyone would eat such healthy stuff for breakfast: A slice of homemade multi-grain bread, spread with homemade pesto sauce on half the slice and fat-reduced cream cheese + homemade sugar-reduced kaya on the other slice. This healthy stuff is just my kinda breakfast stuff and I honestly prefer eating this to…
Although there is a well-equipped and newly refurbished gym at the condominium that we live in, I seldom hit the gym these days. I prefer to run outdoors. I find that the ‘oomph factor’ is missing in our gym. What’s missing is the ambience. There is no pipe-in music, no stereo player and no TV….
Many of us have body odor to a certain extent. Some people have really terrible body odor while others have mild / tolerable BO. I have it too I must admit and this always happens after my work-out sessions. When sweat comes in contact with bacteria it gives out a disgusting smell. I remember I…
My mil bought a very huge sour sop from Ipoh the other day. I can’t remember if I had ever tasted soup sop before in my life. Well, it tasted very much like apple custard but the flesh has a tinge of sourish taste and the sour sop that she bought had very few…
