Before I was not aware about depression and the problems that came with it. I even used the word loosely whenever I’m sad or to describe someone who is in a bad mood or sad. But after I gave birth and experienced slight post-partum depression wherein I cried for no reason at all, basta bigla na lang akong nalungkot at natakot, I realized that depression is not a joke.

Essential oils have been used for many, many years, centuries even. They have a myriad number of uses from aromatherapy, medicinal treatment to house cleaning products. Distilling or extracting the different parts of plants such as the bark, leaves, flowers, roots or peels produce these essential oils. Essential oils are claimed to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Some have soothing and relaxing effects. They can also be used as natural medicine, without the side effects. Nowadays, more and more people are turning to natural products; natural soaps, natural foodstuff, natural medicine, etc. The list can go on. Essential oils are a big part of going natural. Knowing the many benefits of essential oils, you can now choose the ones you need or essential in your life.

I’ve been sick for the past couple of days, what sucks is that I’m not feeling well but I don’t know the cause. I don’t have cough, nor colds…not even fever, just the feeling of being unwell. I told Jeff maybe I just need a massage, but he thinks I should start working out again. That makes sense because last year, when I was going to the gym regularly, I never got sick. This year, working out took a backseat because of the house construction, moving houses, searching for Gwen’s school, etc. I gained weight because I’m stress-eating and too much Starbucks :p
So you know what Jeff did the next morning? He arranged my fitness stuff in our office/study area, hahaha… a very subtle way of saying, “Hoy, mag-workout ka na, tumataba ka na!”

Gwen was 9 months old when we brought her to the doctor not because of her scheduled vaccination but due to fever and cough. It was that bad that warranted a visit to the doctor. We were given medicines but what surprised me was when the pediatrician asked us if we have a nebulizer at home. I said we don’t own one… and I proudly said that, “wala naman pong may hika sa amin.”
I was wrong, I learned that a nebulizer is a must in every household especially if you have kids. You can use it not only for asthma but also for bronchitis and allergies. So after the hospital visit, we immediately bought an Omron Nebulizer for Gwen.
She keeps on removing the face mask here. But for young children, use a face mask to avoid medicine wastage.
