Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Keeping my family healthy is always my number one priority. I supplement our diets with vitamins and minerals. This time around, I picked an Active Kids Omega 3 for my children, Total Krill Oil for myself and Joint Plus MSM for Mr C. Each packet of myvitamins come in a zip lock that allows you seal the vitamins securely. They can be store neatly in your handbag but you must be careful with children as you won’t want them to think it is a pack of sweets.
Have you ever wanted to give your other half a big slap or kick them off the bed because they snore so loud the bed shakes? Well I do! I’ve suffered for ages listening to Mr C’s snoring, not helped that I’m a light sleeper! We have tried different type of pillows and nasal strips for him but we didn’t have much success with those.
So when I saw a fellow blogger review the anti-snoring ring, I thought why not give it a try! Mr C has tried it for a month now. In his case, it has not been an instant result but it works in the end! His snoring has become quieter each time he wears it and it took about three weeks before we started seeing the results. I no longer notice the snoring so no need to push him aside or to put a pillow on his head. I love how the ring works as there is no drug needed or any other side effects.
Mr K is a very active and healthy boy but even so I regularly by him vitamins and omega 3 to top him up with vitamins to ensure he is getting all his essential nutrients. He understands what vitamins are and is also keen to eat them. There are so many types of vitamins on the market that choosing the right one can be a bit daunting. So far, we have tried a few different forms of vitamins in liquids, chewable tablets, capsules and pastilles. I must say my children’s favourite vitamins are in the form of pastilles as they look and taste like sweets!
Last month, I was lucky to be picked by Come Round to host a Philips beauty party with 9 of my friends. Philips had kindly sent me a Philips Lumea Precision Plus and a Philips Visapura for all of us to review. Rituals Cosmetics also sent us four of their products. Thanks to Come Round for organising yet another fantastic party!
The DGJ Organics range was originally developed by celebrity hairdresser and colourist Daniel Galvin Junior 10 years ago when there were no organic haircare products available. Now they have launched these new products, Argan Oil shampoo and conditioner.
A few weeks ago, I blogged about my first impression about Kegel 8 Vaginal Cones and made a video about the cones. If you have not seen it, this is the video. After using it on and off for 4 weeks, the whole experience is getting easier and easier, that you would hardly notice that it is not an exercise but part of your daily routine.
Ms C has long black locks and she refuses to cut it. She wants to be princess Rapunzel with long silky hair. But her hair is always tangled in the morning even though I use children’s hair conditioner and detangle conditioning spray the previous night.
The first time that I used Sudocrem was 5 years ago and since then it has changed so much in terms of packaging and the additional varieties. Sudocream has launched a spanking new product to lead the way for the prevention of nappy rash.
Both of my children have suffered from eczema since an early age and we have been to see various skin specialist nurses and doctors. Each time, they offer to change to different drugs and none the creams have worked for them. I have constantly been on the lookout for alternatives solutions, including changing my washing powder.
Since settling down and becoming a parent, I have made a conscience effort to take extra care of myself by getting enough vitamins. I found it quite hard to have a balanced diet while at work. At the hospital where I used to work, amazingly they used to serve microwave meals due to health and safety. Staff weren’t allowed to take hot meals to the operating theatre dining area situated on the 12th floor. The kitchen is in the basement. So I found myself having to buy bottles of vitamins to supplement myself while I was pregnant. I’ve carried that habit on until now and still supplement my family with vitamins and glucosamine (for Mr C’s joints due to his old age!).
Snow snow go away. Please come another day! We need sun! My children are missing having fun outside the house. There were no sunlight at all. As a mother of two, I was worry of how much my children get to expose to sunlight each day. My children does not always had a healthy meal. Ms C is especially very picky on her food. It is very hard to encourage her to have a healthy meal.
Few weeks ago, I had won an Imutest Airborne Screen kit through talkallergy. I received this kit within 2 days. Excellent customer service and fast delivery! I had never had an allergy until I came to the UK 10 years ago. My allergy seems to be getting worse and this kit will help answer some questions.
Imutest Airborne Allergy Screen helps diagnose allergies to the three most common airborne allergens (cat, dust mite and grass pollen) all in one simple test from a single, small finger prick sample of blood.
As a busy mum of two young children I have no time to go to a spa or sometimes it’s struggle to even to have a nice hot bath. When I got to review Dead Sea Spa Magik products, it was a good reason to make more ‘me’ time. I received a sachet of Mineral Shampoo & Hair Magik Serum, Spa Magik Salt Brushing 500g, Spa Find Dead Sea Bath Salts and Calmit Extract.
