Weddings are a joyous occasion. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity where you can celebrate your love for one another in front of all your friends and family. But as the big day approaches, many brides-to-be start to worry about their weight.


Brides can gain weight due to stress, lack of sleep, and poor diet. If you're starting to see the numbers on the scale creep up, don't panic! Here are some tips on how to manage sudden weight gain before your wedding:


Talk to your doctor

One of the most important things you can do to manage weight gain before your wedding is to talk to your doctor. Your doctor can help you develop a healthy eating and exercise plan to help you reach your goals. In addition, your doctor can monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed. If you are having difficulty losing weight, your doctor may also recommend medication or surgery. However, these options should be considered as a last resort. With the help of your doctor, you can develop a plan to help you manage your weight and look and feel your best on your wedding day.

 



The environment is a very common topic of discussion in modern day society. It’s a big issue that is already affecting the way we live and function from generations ago. But there are ways we can do our bit, even in small and more manageable ways.

 

To help guide our children through the changes to our planet, here are some ways you can promote an eco-friendly lifestyle in the home as recommended by this nursery in Esher.


Try out gardening

A very natural way of helping your child learn to understand what’s around us on the planet is through the more natural ways of growing food for the home. Children can explore how plants are made, how long it takes for certain crops to grow and how they can be used to feed a home. These all make your child learn about how their favourite fruits and vegetables are made, and maybe make a more conscious effort in learning where their food comes from.


Make eco-friendly lunches together

It’s tempting to put together a range of snacks and pre-packaged foods in your child’s lunch bag, but you can get even more out of it if you work together to make food. Make up sandwiches at home, or get more adventurous with your cooking and make some small salads for children to take to school. Opt for more fruits and vegetable snacks to promote a healthy diet and reduce packaging. Any rubbish your child does have can be brought back home to be recycled properly.


Show your child subtle ways the world is changing

Heatwaves and stormy weather are a result of climate change. It’s important that your child is aware of these changes. Take regular walks and show your child the changes to wildlife habitats, scenery and tree growth to remind them of how we can all hope to make a difference in the world.

From a very early age, well in their nursery years, your child will be discovering how different words are formed and how they will benefit from their use. Nurseries will provide a range of learning materials, and following the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, to work on their literacy, numeracy and speech, among other skills.

 

From there, parents can jump in to provide their children with actionable ways to manage their vocabulary skills. Here are some top tips to try out at home with your child.


Find synonyms of words they already know

Having different words in your child’s back pocket will help them with the variation of words they’ll use on a regular basis. First off, keep practicing the words your child already knows. Then you can begin to switch this up with new words and repeat those continuously. Repetition is your best friend and works with your child, who will always be looking to you for guidance.


Sing songs

Songs are a classic way to get children to practice different words and how they’re pronounced. They will give your child the chance to remember how these words sound and where they can be used in different contexts. Many songs can be used at school, but you can also find videos online of popular sing-along songs, as well as the many songs sung in your child’s favourite TV shows and films.


Try out creative writing activities

When your child has the chance to write about different things then you should invite them to write creatively. To motivate them you can get your child to write about their favourite things to do, their favourite foods and ask them to describe themselves or friends or family. Use these as good prompts for your child to write freely about whatever comes to mind and see what vocabulary they pick up.

Starting your own handmade jewelry business from home is a great way to earn some extra money, and it's a lot of fun too. But before selling your jewelry, you need to set up a workspace and get the necessary supplies. This blog will show you how to set up your home studio and tips on getting started in the handmade jewelry business.


Find a Dedicated Space in Your Home

The first thing you need to do when setting up your home jewelry studio is to find a dedicated space where you can work. This doesn't have to be a separate room, but it should be an area that is quiet and free from distractions. If you don't have a dedicated workspace, your living room or kitchen table will suffice.


Make sure to put away all your supplies at the end of each day, so your family members or roommates don't have to step over them. It would be best if you also considered investing in a comfortable chair and good lighting to work for long periods without getting a crick in your neck or straining your eyes.

It can be challenging to keep up with all of the latest trends, but it's crucial to do so to remain competitive. This blog post will look at some of the most critical trends in healthcare marketing and discuss how your organization can take advantage of them.


The rise of SEO and content marketing

SEO is no longer a luxury for businesses in the healthcare industry; it's a necessity. With more and more people using the internet to research their health concerns, your organization's website must be optimized for search engines.

Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines Inc. (PCPPI)—the exclusive manufacturer of PepsiCo beverages in the country—is bolstering the company’s food safety culture. It benefits its people and the customers in the long term, following the launch of its food safety education campaign.

PCPPI plants implemented the Talas ng Kaalaman on Food Safety program. It is to strengthen the knowledge of its employees on the standard food safety procedures. The goal is to improve its operations responsibly and sustainably.

“PCPPI is committed to meeting the highest food safety and quality standards. This is the reason we continuously implement programs and workshops that would improve the skills of our people. We ensure that they too become ambassadors of our food safety culture,” said Frederick D. Ong, PCPPI President and CEO.

The information campaign was executed through Facebook, bulletin board posts, and email blasts. It provided comprehensive information about food safety culture. It informed how to fight food fraud, product protection, good manufacturing practices, and allergen management. It also highlighted some of the cleaning practices. These include the pest control process, proper waste disposal, and locker sanitation and maintenance.

Throughout the program, PCPPI conducted random ambush interviews with employees. This is to measure their grasp of the food safety system. It recognized the departments with the cleanest space and well-informed personnel on the importance of food safety.

Aside from this, PCPPI completed the Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) for its Metro Operations Services, Pampanga, Rosario, STRO, Davao, and Bacolod plant. The FSSC is a globally accepted standard. It recognizes companies’ processes that are at par with global standards— from employee selection to production and warehousing. Its goal is to evaluate the systems in place to ensure food safety.

PCPPI also assures that their products are safe for consumption as all PCPPI plants have the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) License to Operate. All PCPPI products also have its valid certificate of product registration.

The company also recently completed other third-party food safety and social welfare audits. Some of which are the McDonald's Safe Water System (SWS) and Supplier Quality Management System (SQMS) for the PCPPI San Fernando plant.

PCPPI manufactures and sells well-known brands such as Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, 7-Up, Mirinda, Mug, Gatorade, Tropicana, Lipton, and Premier.

The education landscape has been forever changed by the pandemic. As we continue to champion education and believe that it evolves and transforms lives, we can expect more and better changes in the future.

Being in the now new normal, going back completely to the way we were does not encourage evolution nor transformation. We have explored so much, stretched our capabilities, challenged old norms, and persevered and persisted. We are moving forward. We take with us the learnings, technology, and innovation of the significant last 2 years and integrate them into an evolved version of an education continuity template, our shield, for the 21st century.

With schools getting ready to transition back to face-to-face classes, Rex Education reminds educators that there are many tools and best practices from their distance learning setup that can help them level up students’ learning experiences inside and outside the classroom. Schoology is one useful and impactful tool.

Schoology is one of the very first learning management systems (LMS) made available to teachers and students to continue their teaching and learning from home when schools were forced to close temporarily in 2020. Because of the demand for LMS during that period, REX expanded the reach of Schoology and the wealth of resources available on the platform. Thousands of teachers and students are now using Schoology as part of their online and distance teaching and learning modalities.
