Mum Shares: Ginhawa Sa Kalusugan Ngayong Tag-ulan – Be Ready For The Rainy Season With These Essentials

October 6, 2023 No Comments

As the refreshing rains replace the scorching summer heat, a season shift brings both relief and health challenges. While the rain offers a welcome respite, it also ushers in health concerns that become more prominent during this time.

The shift in seasons usually affects me because this used to be the season when my not-so-little man would experience asthma attacks and it really was quite a chalenge for a busy mum like me. Caring for a sick child can also take its toll on a mum, so I need to be extra careful so I won’t get sick, too. And as we continue to experience rainy days, it’s helpful to have these essentials to stay healthy, snug, and comfortable during the downpour:

Umbrella: Stay-dry comfort

Of course, number one on the list is an umbrella. If I would look at the bags of most Filipinos, I’ll most likely find an umbrella. It’s like a trusty sidekick in the crazy weather rollercoaster we experience daily. One minute, we’re under the scorching heat, and the next, we could be caught in a downpour with gusty winds. Having an umbrella on hand keeps me prepared for whatever weather surprise comes my way.

Tea: A cup of warmth

There’s nothing quite like wrapping my hands around a warm mug of tea as the rain taps against the windowpane. The soothing warmth of tea instantly makes me feel snug and content, making it the ultimate comfort drink for gloomy weather. I always choose a selection of soothing herbal teas such as chamomile, lavender, or ginger, which not only provide warmth but also have calming and digestive properties.

Sometimes, I add some honey or lemon for an extra touch of sweetness and flavor!

Mum Shares: Cleene CLIO Makes Clean Teeth Possible For Families This World Oral Health Day 2022

March 20, 2022 No Comments

Maintaining a good oral hygiene has never been more important than when the pandemic breaks. Since a visit to a dental clinic is not a priority, we needed to care for our teeth even more while at home. This is why it is a must that we instill a good oral hygiene to our children who are prone to cavities.

A good oral hygiene is a vital part of a person’s health and over-all well-being. Studies show that poor dental habits often lead to diseases, including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. This is why I keep on teaching my little man to develop a good oral hygiene by brushing at least twice a day and making sure to brush his teeth before going to bed. I am also on the look out for a kid-friendly mouthwash for him to use. And, since pandemic alert levels have relaxed since and children are allowed to go out now, I immediately booked Jared for a dental appointment. His very first since the pandemic broke.
