Went to Tesco a few days ago and got myself a tube of Zinc cream. Well, actually it is supposed to be used as diaper cream or rash cream for babies. Due to my dry flaky skin so I wanted to give it a try after reading all the reviews about using creams with zinc oxide in them for extremely dry skin or skin with acne.
It is kind of funny to think about using diaper cream on your face but people need to try out new things to find out what works for them. There are battery heated vest, bluetooth motorcycle helmets and other gadgets that would work for some people. Now let’s try baby cream on the face.
I’ve been using it the 2nd day now. Though the patches on my face are still dry but I notice they are not as flaky as before. Gosh, I hope that this is it. I’ve used Nivea creme and it is good for the dry patches but it made my skin break out too. I just have to see after a week I suppose to know whether this is the solution for me.
After 2 days cooped up at home, something that I’m not complaining about, I decided to do some outdoorsy stuff tomorrow morning. I can’t believe it that I actually feel excited about it. If someone asked me to go outdoor a year or two ago (before I started working full time that is) I’d say no. I’d rather stay indoors.
I’m not an adrenaline junkie, but at least I know I’m moving towards becoming someone who is more active. It feels good.
I’ve heard that to drink lemon water at least 30 mins before a meal is good for two reasons. One, it neutralizes the acid in the stomach so it increases the capability of our stomach to absorb more nutrients. Secondly, it makes us feel less hungry so we eat less. Though I am not sure whether these are true but there are some people who swore by it. That it helps them lose weight and feel healthier.
I’m on the 3rd day of trying so we will see. It would be nice if I can feel a little better physically and also lose a bit of weight. Perhaps if I do, I should reward myself for successfully following the routine of lemon water before every meal. Checking out Personal Creations Facebook account for some gift ideas for myself and the motivation of course.
For most people exercising would make them feel stronger. Well, it is the same with me too but not the first few times of doing real work out for a little bit more than an hour. I would definitely have to pay the price the next day in the form of muscle aches. Having to work with kids in that condition was torture. I know that in time the aches will be gone, that is after 2-3 times going? I don’t think I can go through that another 2-3 times. So I’ve decided to find another day to go. Preferably on a Friday evening or Saturday. Not the day when I have to go to work the next morning.
I have to round up a new group of friends to see whether they are interested. So far I’ve got 2 who are willing to come along with me. (Yes I am a shy person, I need company ) I’ve found a place but need to check out the days that is suitable for everyone.
Living in an apartment building does limit the choice of pets that one can have. So we chose to have hamsters instead. They are small and easy to care for. The main reason why we wanted to have a pet in the first place is that, we learnt that having pets are very therapeutic for both adults and children.
We do take our hamster to the park sometimes in small little portable cage for hamsters – something like vari kennels portable cage for dogs – to let him walk around in the grass. Ever since we have our hamsters I really felt that it was a good decision.
Though daily life can be a little stressful but nothing that a little relaxing music can’t help. I listen to this particular piece on youtube everyday when I feel a little high strung. It sounds peaceful and relaxing that I like it so much. I know that music can really heal.
I do wish I’d be able to play guitar – my fender acoustic or perhaps one of those AudioWarrior Guitars that I see on an online store. I have always dreamed of a much more balanced life with music.
Just sign up with friends or ex colleagues to go for a Zumba class on Monday. I couldn’t join them earlier but will try for this Monday. Though I’m not sure whether I’d be able to go every Monday, but the first try is better than not trying to join at all right? Life is not all easy. When I had all the time I didn’t have the money to join activities like this, but when I do have the money I don’t have the time.
As the cold season is ending in most places, they say it is the time for buying winter clothing. It is the time when they will be selling of their winter stock off with great discounts. I sure would love to try out the heated vest – a battery operated vest that would keep you nice and warm. Just the thing for those who doesn’t like to wear thick winter coats I believe.
As I was coming home from doing my weekly shopping, I could see the white fluffy cotton looking things flying around in the air.
Something which they call – cottonwood fluff. In a few more weeks, some places (where they have more of the trees) would look like they just had another snow season. Despite the harmless look, these things are bad for health. At least to some people that is. It’s allergy season.
Though I don’t get strong allergies like some people do from these cottonwood fluffs, my nose do get a little runny and itchy. But thank goodness so far, that’s about it. But I’m getting an air filter nevertheless for my room just in case.
At the new work place, the park is located up a hill. Two hills in fact – one steeper than another. It would take us nearly 15 minutes to go there. Not such a bad work out to go up and down the hills with the kids.
Everything is so green, feels good for the eyes.
This little clearing would be just the place to do a little camping. A couple of kelty tents, outdoor cooking utensils, books and maybe the telescope too. Few more weeks and it is summer, I wish we can do some outdoor activities soon.
