How Keeping Yourself Well Is Keeping Your Family Well

As a parent, we all know that the best thing that we can be doing for our kids is looking after ourselves. We are their number ones - the people that they depend on to get them through their childhood, bring them up into the best version of themselves that they can be, and offer the support and care that they need. However, it’s sometimes apparently clear that we’re not doing all that we can to keep ourselves in top notch condition.

There are more benefits that you can get from camping, which will make you want to do this even more, especially with kids.

Some of these advantages include spending more time with your loved ones, reducing stress, enhancing your relationship with friends and family, and becoming healthier, both mentally and physically. Camping with kids doesn’t come without a challenge, though. However, these problems can be avoided if you plan ahead, and you know what to do to make it fun for everyone.

Speaking of planning, prepare your children, as this will make them more excited about the camping trip. List down everything that you will need to avoid forgetting anything. Aside from the food, drinks, outdoor gear, and tents that you will bring, include toys that will keep the kids occupied, such as frisbees and water toys.

Sometimes, there are things in life that you just don’t ever think about. We grow up to be socially conditioned to the things that we think are acceptable and better to use for our health, but in more cases than not, this isn’t true. We plough our money into brand-named products that our parents used but rarely do we see the benefits of what we’re using. With the rise of the internet and different research becoming available to us at the click of a button, we should be branching out more and towards different products.

Big Baby Milestones You'll Cry At

acodeza 3/21/2017 06:52:00 AM family , Parenting 0 Comments

Pregnancy seems to last forever when you’re waiting for the birth of your baby from conception to nursery prep! Even in the early days when they seemingly won’t stop crying, and you never sleep, the hours just drag on. Everyone who has had children will tell you the complete opposite, and you won’t believe it until it’s happening to you. Your first year as a mother will go so fast, that you’ll blink and miss it.

One moment, you look at your tiny baby who initially doesn’t quite fit their own skin. Clothes swamp them and every noise and facial expression is marvelled at. The next moment, you’re online and planning a first birthday party and picking out the best one-year-old first birthday shirt! It goes so fast, but if you’ve bought yourself a baby book like this one or this one before the baby arrives, you are able to record each of those milestones that matter so much. You can then look back on them with a smile and with nostalgia, and some of the best milestones draw a tear of happiness at the growth of the baby and sadness at the thought they’re passing by so quickly.

These Everyday Habits Are Aging Your Skin!

acodeza 3/14/2017 07:45:00 AM Beauty , Reviews and Others 6 Comments

Just as soon as we’re out of the spotty, hormonal teenage years, our skin begins the process of aging. Doesn’t seem fair really, does it? While aging is a natural process that everyone who’s lucky enough to make it to their later years will experience, there’s plenty you could be doing which is speeding up the process. No one wants to look years older than their age, and so if you want to keep your youthful good looks for as long as possible- here are some things you might be doing wrong!

Not Removing Makeup

When we sleep our skin cells regenerate and repair. Being clogged with makeup interrupts this process, and over time can cause damage and aging to the skin. Micellar water is an effective makeup remover, a few drops applied to a cotton bud can really help to lift impurities from the surface of the skin. Follow it up with a light cleanser and then moisturize for a soft and fresh feeling complexion.

[Review] Tia Shurina's Book "Everything and a Happy Ending"

Everything and a Happy Ending Book Review

Aside from watching a movie, reading a book is one way of escaping the reality. When we look at a movie/drama on television or even read a book, we always want a happy ending. Most of us feel disappointed with sad, and tragic ending especially when it's a love story. Am I right?

Speaking of books, I am highly recommending everyone to read "Everything and a Happy Ending by Tia Shurina. It's a book about her colorful journey in interconnected relationships to three men. She bravely shares not only her happy memories but also the pain and struggles she encounters. I can feel the sincerity to motivate the readers especially women in spite of the sad and tragic things that could happen to our life, we still have to gather strength to stand up. Be brave to embrace yourself.

Creative Ways to Announce a Pregnancy

acodeza 3/13/2017 09:34:00 AM family , Parenting 0 Comments

Birth is still one of the great wonders of humankind and to this day arouses feelings like no other. For those that are expecting it arouses feelings of excitement and amazement (and maybe a little fear), but it’s not just the expecting parents that have feelings stirred within them by a pregnancy: their friends and family do to — because of this, they deserve to not only know (when the time is right, of course) but they deserve to be told in the best and most creative ways possible. It’s a big moment for all involved, and it deserves to be treated as such; so here are some of the most creative ways to tell your family and friends that you're expecting.

Image source: Pixabay

If you want to splash out on the big occasion, then you could have customized and personal t-shirts made for anybody that you wish to announce the news to in a unique and memorable way. The t-shirts could read anything from ‘Grandpa Est.2017’ to ‘This Guy is Going to Be an Uncle’ or even ‘My Best Friend Got Pregnant, and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt.' Doing so will not only mean that the moment itself is memorable, but that it can be looked back in years to come whenever the t-shirt is worn; for all your personalized gift needs make sure to head to Zoey’s Attic and check them out. However, providing one person with a t-shirt may make you feel obliged to provide a whole host of other people with one too; but if you have your heart set on this tactic, then you go about it in different ways. For instance, you could clad any other child that you have in a t-shirt that reads ‘Only Child: Expiring 2017’, which not only scratches your personalized t-shirt itch without having to buy a host of them but also means that the announcement is still being made in a memorable and creative way.

Other creative ways to announce a pregnancy that won’t cost anything include spelling it out via food (alphabet spaghetti, otherwise known as ‘alphabetti’, lends itself perfectly to this), if you want to go all modern about it, emailing a scan photo around to your friends; or if you want to stick with tradition, putting a literal bun in an oven, guiding whomever it is that you are telling into the kitchen, and then waiting for them to get the hint. All are great ways to announce a pregnancy, and all cost next to nothing. Whatever you do, however, you should always seek to capture the memorable moment of announcing a pregnancy either via photograph or on video; could even act as the start of your pregnancy journal!

And once all the appropriate announcements have been made then it’s time to actually start preparing for the new arrival. However, you can do so knowing that you did all you could to make sure that the first thing your friends and family remember about your little one is an interesting and creative announcement on their behalf, all courtesy of you!

If you’re looking to lose a few pounds, no doubt you’ll be thinking of overhauling your lifestyle. This usually entails changing your diet and implementing an exercise regime. There are some things that you should do before trying to lose weight which will help you on your journey. The last thing anybody wants is to have to stop and start with their new routine, so prepare first!

Clear out the Cupboards

This is a big one. If you’re serious about sticking to a healthy lifestyle you need to get rid of any remnants of your old one. You may be full of motivation now, but three weeks in if there’s temptation in your cupboards you could break. Avoid this situation completely by only stocking your cupboards full of things you can eat. Swap any crisps and chocolate for healthy nuts. Similarly, try and eat more fresh food and cook from scratch. If you set your cupboards up properly before starting to try to lose weight, you're more likely to succeed.

Just Add Water: Cute Ideas For Kids Bathrooms

acodeza 3/02/2017 04:15:00 AM Home , Kids 0 Comments

While we may think of the bathroom as being a functional space that doesn't mean it has to be boring! Bright colors, cool designs, and outrageous accessories are much more likely to lure kids to brush their teeth, wash their hands and take a bath more than a plain, minimalist room would. Don't forget kids love to be able to feel and touch the stuff so try to include as much tactile furniture, interactive storage areas, and fun extras as you can.
