Absolute and Disney Share Tips on How to Prepare a Fuzz-free Kiddie Party

The timing of this product's arrival is very good since I am also busy preparing for my son's first birthday.  At first, I thought that kiddie party is just as easy as ABC, but I am wrong.  First birthday preparation is like a debut preparation, you need to check every details. From the invitation, souvenirs, loot bags, venue, catering, photographers etc.

Anyways, planning for a kiddie party need not to be too much of a stress, especially having the end goal of making it fun, memorable, and simply giving your kid a knack of a good time. The first thing to remember is that any kind of party-planning requires work, but good planning with a timeline tracker makes it a whole lot easier to handle.  

Advocacy: Epilepsy Awareness and its Impact to Society

It is not easy to grow up in a family with epilepsy.  As a child, every seizures became an unforgettable moments/ experiences of my life I can't forget.  Every accidents accompanied by seizure attacks ( head bumps, head cracks, burned hands, cracked bones and a lot more) remain crystal clear in my memories.  During those times, I was so afraid to go near that person; convulsing, throwing up saliva.  I always said "I wanna go to bed."

But as I grew up with that person, I learned how to take care of the situation.  Elders taught me what to do in case the attack happened when we're alone.  The most important thing to do is to ensure the safety of that person, to prevent the head from hitting the ground.

Awareness is one of the very important things to consider with this condition.   And with that, I am here to help PLEA spread this awareness to people who doesn't know about Epilepsy.  In the Philippines, we celebrated the National Epilepsy Day last September 1-6 with the theme: EPILEPSY: TIGIL ATAKE...TULAY SA TAGUMPAY.  The week was started off with Tripartite Symposium for Neurologists: MARIJUANA in Epilepsy held in Sulu Hotel last September 1.

This was a forum among neurologist to discuss the emerging issues on Medical Marijuana and to hopefully come out with a consensus statement on its role in the management of Epilepsy in the Philippines.

The Attack of Bacteria: Know your Enemy

Did you know that good oral hygiene begins and ends with bacteria?  
Yes, that is right.  There are up to 72 kinds of bacterias living in our mouth and once the strain is there, we can never take it out.  The best we can do is to keep it at a minimum. So we have to start with a healthy environment for good bacteria to grow.  Maintain this regimen by preventing bad bacteria from accumulating and causing plaque, cavities and bad breathes.

How to do it?

 Start with the food you eat. Avoid sugary and starchy food, consume more vegetables, and drink your eight glasses of water a day. 

After eating, always brush your teeth, use oral care products with anti-bacterial features, and clean your tongue with scrapers or your tooth brush. 

By knowing the enemy of good oral hygiene, you can easily win the fight against it. :)

Health Check: How Clean are Your Teeth?

Our mouth is the busiest part of our body, it is working from morning 'till night..and even when we're asleep.  Just like every part of our body, our teeth can get dirty too.. 

How?  

When you're eating too much sweets(oh I love Chocolates) and drinking carbonated drinks (refreshing Sodas) to keeping bacteria-friendly toothbrushes( with sentimental value?). 

However, cleaning your teeth can be just as easy as one-two-three. 

Floss first to remove bigger debris in between the teeth. 

Second, brush your teeth at least twice daily for two minutes each time. 

Third, don’t forget your tongue and brush this area clean too.  If possible, rinse your mouth with a mouthwash for perfect finish.

And to beef up your daily regimen even more, here are three teeth-cleaning partners to help maintain your pearly whites.

First is a 12-hour anti-bacterial protection toothpaste to boost your teeth’s defense. 

Second is the right toothbrush that suits your cleaning needs. And of course, don’t forget to visit your dentist every six months for professional cleaning.

Remember, it’s easy to get our teeth dirty, but with a little effort, having clean teeth will become even easier.

Softa-Man Hand Rub: Not all alcohols are the same

Technically, I am not a medical person.  But that doesn't mean I won't involve myself or limit myself in knowing what's good for me and my family when it comes to health care.  I must be aware to what kind of germs, bacterias and viruses we are exposed and where we can get those.  That is why I attended B.Braun's health awareness seminar.

There I learned that despite the fact, and probably because of the fact that hospitals are places where the highest concentration of sick and weak people can be found, there are certain health risks inherent to hospitalization. 

That’s why even doctors will only recommend hospitalization when they feel it is absolutely necessary. 

The most compelling reason to hold off hospitalization until it is absolutely necessary is hospital acquired infections (HAI). 

What is hospital acquired infections or HAI?

Tips Every New Mom Should Know

How to Be Absolutely Sure You’re Doing It Right?

I still remember the feeling when I first knew there is life inside me.  I am very excited!  My heart is overwhelming with joy.  And despite my sleeplessness I exude pride and joy like no other. 

 But I am not yet a mother (I'll tell the story some other time). New mothers can become overwhelmed by information from many sources: their parents, friends, the internet, and even well-meaning strangers.

The number one rule for any new mother is this: don’t compare yourselves with other mothers. 

Behind The Waterworks: The Process of Purity

Why Mothers Never Have To Worry Again About Safe Drinking Water?

I'm not yet a mother but when I become one I'm sure I'll be very protective and keen to details to whatever my children will be eating or drinking.

Mothers don’t settle for second best. 

 When it comes to their family, they go beyond what is expected of them to ensure that their families, especially their kids, are safe.

Today, one of the major things that concern mothers everywhere is the availability of safe drinking water. A mother doesn’t want her family to suffer from numerous waterborne diseases and is the reason why she keeps a close eye on her family’s drinking water.

Absolute Distilled Drinking Water understands the meticulousness of a mother’s heart. 

This is the reason why, just like a mother, Absolute goes beyond what is expected to provide Filipino families with nothing but the very best.

Feeling Fresh and Confident with PH Care

I am a woman on the go.  

That is why I always bring a huge bag with a lot of stuffs inside wherever I go.  My husband always says I have my closet (aparador) inside.  When you happen to open my bag, you can find not just 2 purses but 4 including my coin purse and wallet. :D

Being a woman, one of the must haves in my bag aside from my kikay kit is my hygiene kit.  That include toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash and of course the feminine wash.  Since I'm a working gal (not all CR have water for cleaning/washing), I'm happy and thankful when Unilab (a known and trusted brand when it comes to health care) gave me these samples for review, a product dedicated to us woman on the go, the PH Care feminine wipes.
