Everyday health and beauty

My little princess always find it hard to sleep if she hasn’t read before bedtime. It’s habit. A habit that mummy has inhibited on her since baby. As she will has mummy reading bedtime story for her since born.  :P

Anyway, it’s a good habit with health benefits. When we read books, magazines or newspaper, our thoughts get carried away by the interesting story or information. Thus, reading something of our own choice definitely raise our spirit and make us feel good. It offers an escape from everyday life stresses as a great form of relaxation.

Lastly, reading is always a healthy work out for our brain. Keeping our memory sharp and our learning capacity nimble.

This Tough & Tender multi purpose cleaner really makes my marble floor so clean. No sticky feeling or slippery smoothness like what left by the normal floor cleaner. A true clean feeling. Excellent in cleaning oily and dusty surfaces too.

And, the light and refreshing scent is so fascinating. Besides, it’s extremely cost saving. I just need 10 sprays twice for the whole house. One of my favourite from Ecosense. It has a nice and unique name with the best scent among all the other Ecosense products. 2 thumbs up!

The world is so advanced and complete now. Almost every quest, the answer is just one click away. Even patio furniture has patio furniture covers for protection. Somehow, protecting our health is never an easy job. And, we can only get more confused as we made more clicks when we are looking for ways to grow taller.

Many people said, drink a lot of milk since young. So, that’s it? I just don’t believe it extreme diet. Luckily there are other great suggestions.

1) Eating small 5-7 meals with a good amount of protein including food like egg, milk, meat and yoghurt to keeps the growth hormone levels up.

2) Drink milk before sleeping, so that the magnesium in it can help you sleep better. As the growth level is the highest in the first 2 hours of sleep. Thus, avoid sugars before going to bed as that will hinders the growth process.

3) As shorter intense workouts produce higher level of growth hormones. Thus might aid growth.

4) Do exercise that can lengthen the muscle like swimming, cycling, basket ball etc.

5) And, our body definitely needs sufficient nutrients to reach our maximum growth.

No wonder my little princess is so short. Looks like I have to find ways to encourage her to sleep earlier and start taking meat. Then, encourage her to eat more eggs and drink more milk too. But, should I let her take multivitamins to supplement her poor eating habits too?By the way, I will never shake my head anymore whenever she ask for permission to swim.

Surprise! Just a few spray on the water in the vase, the flowers on the fresh stalks seems wide open and looks so healthy and fresh. Most importantly, the water in the vase has no bad smell at all throughout the week.

Also, I have tried it on my dog last week. But, the tits spray for pets that I bought (it’s the best one after I have tried many brands) does not work very well. The tits die very slowly and they hardly drops out. So, I spray the diluted Sol U Mel on his ears initially. As his ears was full of tits since 2 weeks ago.

Immediately, I see tits dropping. So, I gave him a few more sprays within half a day. Surprise! All the tits on his ears are still alive. But all drops.

Eventually, I mixed the diluted Sol U Mel in his shampoo and gave him a good bath. Somehow, there are still tits staying on his ears again after a few days. Hehe…… May be I need to spray on him at least once a day for some time. LOL!

Now, the tits seems attacking him badly until one side of his ear got Hematoma. Of course, this has nothing to do with Sol U Mel review. I am just worried about my dog.

It looks great when being match with the belt. Without the belt, it’s not appealing at all. Somehow, I gain the elegant and mysterious look once I put the belt on, so I bought it. It’s kind of convenient as no revealing part on top. I can wear it casually.

Somehow, I need a pair of matching heals. I just can’t match it with all my casual sneakers. As a door will only looks great if it is beautifully match with a nice door knobs, isn’t it?

Anyway, I just find out that the length of this dress actually makes my big fat thigh looks even bigger. LOL!

This Ecomax dish drops has been highly recommended by a few of my mum’s friends. So, I thought since Melaleuca’s Lemon Brite seems too drying for my auntie’s fungal infected hands, I will try this.

Somehow, according to my auntie, this Ecomax is still drying. Yet it can never clean the grease or smell on the used plates so thoroughly like Lemon Brite. LOL!

In my opinion, Lemon Brite is truly concentrate and it just never seems drying to my hands as I add enough water to a little bit of it in another empty bottle before I use it. And, it really ease the washing work. Quick and very clean. 2 thumbs up!

My auntie also favors Lemon Brite. To her it did a fantastic cleaning work, so much better than other dish drops. Somehow, it is just not very friendly for her infected hands.

On Sunday, my girl just kept sneezing and got a little bit of runny nose. Then, the temperature test also showed that she had mild fever. So, we just stayed at home this Sunday. Luckily my little princess already enjoyed herself so much in her friend’s birthday party on Saturday. She loves all birthday or baby shower invitations.

By the way, mummy gave her 8 teaspoons of black seed drink at noon. As I found that black seed drink is really a miracle food for us all. It works wonders in boosting our immune system.

By the way, I also gave her 1 probiotics. And some aloe vera juice mixed in her milk 3 times a day. Eventually, my girl’s temperature is back to normal again by late evening in the same day. It’s a great surprise. As her fever just never went off so easily.

I strongly recommend black seed drink for those who always get flu. I just stop having flu ever since I make it my daily consumption since 4 months ago.

Second bottle of Lilly of the Dessert Organic Pure Aleo Vera Juice. I like it. As it does improved bowel movement for both my girl and I. Besides, it helps to clear more stools out and makes me feel like all the waste in the body has been cleared. LOL!

I read that Aloe Vera juice can help in many health problem too. It is a great choice of immune system booster if consume in the long run. It can maintain the acid balance in our stomach and managed to cleanse our intestine. It also neutralized the toxin in our body. At the same time, it helps in the absorption of other nutrients.

Moreover, aloe vera juice stimulates tissue regeneration. Thus, it is highly beneficial for our skin.  Worth taking it for a longer period right? Somehow, it seems that this is the final old stock. I just can’t find Lily of the Dessert in Penang anymore. I tried Forever Living before. it is not working. Hopefully, I can find another good one.

Do you need alarm clock to wake you up every morning? If so, try downloading gentler sounds such as the sounds of door chime onto your mobile phone. Or consider a ‘dawn simulator’. As loud alarm can definitely add to your overall stress level.

Days after days, it can lead to chronic stress which eventually contributes to high blood pressure, sleep problems and depression. Also, our ability to think clearly will be badly affected if we are awaken from our deep sleep stage. As a result, accidents might happen.

Looks like waking up naturally is far gentler on the body. It’s time to throw away my bedside alarm clock. But, it’s hard for me to stick to a regular bedtime routine to set my body’s internal clock , so that I can wake up at a certain time.

Somehow, the very act of telling myself or my brain that waking up at certain hour in the next morning is important before I go to bed always work as well as alarm setting.

As I love the nectarine air flown from the US now and taking it almost everyday in this week, I am figuring out the health benefits of nectarine. According to what I have read, nectarine is a good source of vitamin C, vitamin A, Riboflavin, potassium, fiber and antioxidant. Some sources shows that it contains iron and protein too.

Nectarines are considered a subacid fruit and can be mixed with any fruit. They leave an alkaline ash, and are best eaten raw. By looking at its nutrients, I supposed it is very obvious that this fruit is good for strengthening our immune system and highly beneficial for our skin.

Look at these juicy nectarine from US. I bought 10 again after I have tried 1 of the 4 that I have bought yesterday morning. They are so sweet, juicy and fragrance. Most of us in the house loves it. Thinking of getting some for my MIL if we are visiting her during weekend.

Healthy gift like fruits are certainly the best gift for my MIL. We send gifts all the time for our friends, family and relatives. I like the idea of sending healthy gifts basket for hospitalized or senior friends, relatives or family members. It can be the health supplements, organic food or fruits. I have seen gift sets with organic skincare and body care too.

Anyway, I still prefer to receive a nice flower basket from great flower provider ProFlowers occasionally. As flowers are still the most romantic gift for special occasions. And, flowers always makes me feels happier. So do receiving gifts I guess.

Thus, don’t stop sending gifts. As better mood always means better health.

Another review on Melaleuca products. This time is Sol U Mel.

Like it! In the sense of bugs clearing ability. As I really stop scratching all over as I spray some of this diluted Sol U Mel on my bed after reading the old books from the library in bed. Fantastic in clearing the bad smell from the inside of the shoes made of cloth material and carpet just by spraying on it.

Also, the bedsheet that has terrible vomit smell became odourless again when my maid soak and wash it with Melapower and Sol U Mel. My carpet feel extremely clean and more fluffy instead of sticky when I clean it with Sol U Mel. And I only did it once a month. My maid managed to get rid of the chewing gums stocked on my brother’s white shirt too.

Somehow, it only lightens the magic ink stains on my girl’s table. And, not every old stain on the sofa or carpet can be clear. And, I need gloves to do the work as I am using it as it’s quite drying to my skin.

I always like to make a review on the products that I have used before. Kind of like exchange information and helping each other for a better world. I guess this simple step also help the company to improve their products or generate more sales for quality products too.

On the other hand, reading the reviews from others always help me to get the product that suit me best. Thus, I will always search for reviews before I buy a product. For instance, I will search for projector reviews first before I decide which projector to buy. I know I have to as I know almost non of the difference between pocket projector, multimedia projector or data projector.

This is a nice trick to maintain nice, refreshing and young face look that I learned from the internet. I started to place a clean wet towel in my fridge 2 days ago. And, I love the feeling. It’s cold, soothing and refreshing when I wipe my neck and face with it after every face wash.

My face seems look fairer too. It’s also a great way to combat the uncomfortable feeling in such hot weather in my country. Thus, I make a few more wipes in the day now.  :wink:

I wanted to wash my face with warm water too. Somehow it’s kind of inconvenient as I don’t have not and cold tab water on top of the basin. I can only do it if I wash my face while I am bathing under the shower.  :)

This baking soda is far more useful than just for bath soaking. The scientific name of it is called “Sodium Bicarbonate”. It seems to be a very safe yet useful cleaning agent too.

Some people even use it to wash their hair as a replacement of shampoo. But, I have read some of the reviews that their hair color become lighter after they use it to wash their hair for some time. That’s scary!

I plan to use it to wash the clothes as one of my mum’s friend recommended. But, I wondered will the color of the clothes fades away faster than the brands’ detergent since the color of the hair did faded. LOL!

The more I read about the toxic ingredients in all the body wash, shampoo, body lotion, laundry detergent, food or skin care, I am trying my best to shift to so called safe or natural products now. And baking soda seems to be one of the popular option. Worth trying.

Somehow, I guess nowadays only products like the POS systems is safe. As it is something that we has totally no direct or indirect contact with. Ha!

By the way, I found that almost everything will has side effects as long as we over use or over eat or over dose even if it’s a natural product like Aloe Vera or Vinegar. LOL! So, just sit and relax. Then, follow to the extend that only we are comfortable with it. Hehe……

I bought this pack of baking soda from a shop selling baking stuffs. Use 3 to 4 pounds of baking soda alone in the a full tub of water. Then, soak in it for 20 minutes. Normally rinse off is not needed after the bath.

Accordingly, this simple baking soda bath is helpful for eczema sufferers or those get chicken pox. As it sooth irritation. Somehow, it supposed to clean the harmful effects of radiation or withdraw the impurities from our body. And, it also a good therapy people on alcohol, drugs or a lot of junk food.

Basically, the water will be softer if added with baking soda. And, this spa experience is highly detoxifying and relaxing. Sounds really great!”Let’s have a baking soda bath with mummy tomorrow, ok baby?”

These are all the medications I spared while travelling. I am not travelling. Just want to share with you the goodness of Charcoal. Now, I am talking about the black pills showed above.My brother got serious diarrhoea which makes him running in and out from the toilet about 6 times in a night since Friday night.

Then, we gave him some Chinese traditional medications. Unfortunately, it just help a little. So, my mum suggested that he should go to the hospital by Saturday evening. (Since we can claim insurance. Ha! Nowadays, health insurance is a must like the motorhome insurance. LOL!)

I said:”How about let him try the Charcoal first.” So, he took 2 pills every six hours since that for 3 times continuously. And, he already went out for basketball game early this morning. So, I was thinking may be Charcoal is a great recommendation for diarrhoea.  :wink:

 
I bought this bareback together with the purple shirt that I showed you since last month. It’s Esprit too.

How about that? I mean the bareback. I told myself not to buy bareback any more since last year or may be much earlier. As the skin of my back is not very clear most of the time.But, this bareback really fits me so well. So, I told myself just buy. Then do some back treatments (put lightening or clarifying mask, use deep cleanse body wash or scrub. Hehe……).

So, I have no chance to wear it out yet. As I tried it one more time just now, I think I even need firming lotion for my flabby arms before I can wear it. Any great recommendation for arm toning exercises? LOL!

By the way, I always put on the other purple shirt recently. It’s such a nice casual wear especially when I match it with white short pants. And, looks like I have quite some purples in by wardrobe now.

It’s been some time I never buy shoes. I always wanted a new pair of casual wears. And, it has to be those brands like Scholl, Hush Puppies or Clarks. As just by paying a little bit more, I always get great comfortability and lasting quality shoes from these brands. Also, a clearer receipt as those printed out from the epson tm-t88iv. Hahahahaha……

Anyway, these ultra comfort shoes always convinced me that I am paying for something more than it worth. Somehow, nothing on the display rack seems eye catching after almost searching for more than 3 months. Finally, this pair of Sandal came in.

How is it? It’s the new arrival of Scholl. Casual but sporty and nice. It’s my favourite white again. And, it’s comfortable too. Finally, Scholl came out with something modern. LOL! I love it so much!

In fact, I like it’s apple green too. Somehow, leather shoes are not advisable to store for long. We must wear it all the time to prevent it from being harden. That’s just my experience. So no point having so many pairs at the same time since I am not superstar or celebrities that need to be so fashionable.

It’s my new shampoo. The Conditioning Herbal Shampoo from Melaleuca.

Frankly, I have more than 4 bottles of shampoos in my bathroom. Not including those for hubby. I am counting those only for my personal use. Am I a great spender or someone who seems very particular about healthy hair? Nope! Absolutely not. It’s simply because I am still looking for the right shampoo for my hair.

By the way, I think this is quite the right one as it is the one and only one that managed to wash away the rancid smell from my scalp without other scalp treatment after I have tried quite some other brands. Of course, my hair will not be as soft as compared to those days when I am using other oily conditioning shampoos. But, it does not appeared very drying either.

At the moment, there will be no more rancid smell as I blow my hair if I wash my hair every alternate day. And, I will only feel the itchiness from my scalp on the 3rd day after I washed my hair. Quite happy with the result. Hopefully, it can eventually get my scalp back to normal.

In the first place, I bought this Aloe Vera Juice to cure my girl’s mouth ulcer which cause by Coxsackie. Unfortunately, this Organic Aloe Vera Juice from “Lily of the Dessert” was added with citric acid as PH Stabilizer. Obviously, it would be painful for my girl to gaggle in the mouth with ulcers.

Thus, I just mixed it in her milk and let her drink it. About 3 to 4 ounce a day for the last 2 days. Surprisingly, her fever went off after the first day of drinking this Aloe Vera Juice. Somehow, it does not help in her bowel movement.

Also, my mum try to put this Aloe Vera Juice on her leg sores which look something like warts that has been bothering her almost a year. Another great surprise! It managed to sooth the itchiness. Wonderful product aye? I have yet to find out which is the best joint supplement for my FIL who suffer from knee joint pain. But according to certain sources online, Aloe Vera Juice seems can relief joint pain too. Should I let him try? But, I have never heard of any case of their joint pain has been fully cured by drinking Aloe Vera Juice. Not from anyone that I know of.

Well, I have told you we were glad that my auntie’s hands seems getting smoother after applying the Melaleuca Lemon Brite Dish Cleaner every night. Somehow, she decided to gave up few days back.

While the old scars improving, other healthy parts of the palm got attacked later on. And, the new sores are simply too painful to bare especially she still needs to continue the washing everyday.

Thus, she decided to use back the previous dish cleaner which is more smoothing to the hands. That doesn’t heals but at least it does not make things worse and will not cause the pain.

Now, I got 3 purple blouses including this one. It’s kind of formal. But, it can be great casual wear too. I like this type of shirt even though I am not working in the office.

My skin actually look a bit dark in this purple. Somehow, I love the design so much. And, it has only white and purple. Unfortunately, white is too thin which can almost see through if I am wearing it without a coat. So be it! I accept the purple.  :)

No shopping, join non of the interesting Branson vacation package either ever since I came back from Spain about 4 months ago. So, I enjoyed this trip of shopping so much even though I just bought 2 blouses. Hehe…..

By the way, it’s from Esprit EDC. And, I bought it from the Sunway Carnival outlet which selling only discounted out season stocks yesterday. This piece is 50% discount. What a great deal! In fact, as long as the clothes look nice on us, it just doesn’t matter weather it is in season or not. After all, Malaysia has only 1 season all year long. Hahahahaha……

These are my auntie’s hands. Quite nice aye? Thanks to Melaleuca’s Lemon Brite dish washer.

Her hands was as rough as the rough paper for more than 10 years cause by fungal Infection. Very dry too. Soaking her hands in salt and vinegar, less pain. Steroid cream, no pain. But it comes back again once stopped using. Coconut oil and other oilment, not really helpful. And, the skin of the infected area just never grow back to normal after all these treatments even though the condition never get worse since few years back.

Lemon Brite is very drying for her hands indeed. So I asked her to stop using it. Later on, my introducer told me by applying little bit of this Lemon Brite on the fungal infected hands every night and leave it till the morning can makes the hands smooth and healthy again after 2 weeks.

“What? Apply dish washer on our hands?”

I showed my doubtful look immediately. But she told me there are lots of pure lemon in it mix with Melaleuca oil which promotes healing of the skin. And, there are successful cases for “this treatment”. Alright! We tried. Skin peeled off a lot in the process. Very drying and painful too. But, new skin grows day after day.

After 1 week, the old rough scars become smoother, even though she is still doing lots of washing and cleaning without glove everyday.

Granny has truly live in denial recently. Her behaviour is so strange. She starts to eat almost every hour once a day. And, she will never believe us if we tell her she already ate. Luckily she did not take much food in a time.

Then, she keep asking where does her mother and sister live. And, when we tell her that they already dead, she actually scolded us. She said we are so mean to curse an old people to death sometimes. She might also said it’s not possible or things like how do we know she is dead in some other time. Very argumentative and totally loss of judgement!

Also, she always want to close all the doors and windows no matter what. And, she just bathe without rubbing her body everyday. If we try to bathe for her, she will starts scolding us for treating her like a kid. She said she can manage herself.

I just can’t help but just have less conversation with her when she becomes so passive, extremely confused, suspicious, or fearful. Well, she seems to be very content to the Sony VAIO or Sharp AQUAS. She loves TV. She will ask us to on the TV for her all the time. But when we switch on the TV, she actually starts to play cards.

Over eating can definitely cause obesity. But, I just learn that lack of sleep is another cause of obesity too. As research actually found out that those between the ages of 32 and 49 who sleep less than seven hours a night are significantly more likely to be obese. Possibly it cause by disrupting hormones that regulate appetite.

Gosh! All the while I thought that lack of sleep might cause underweight problem. Obviously, I have made a mistake. But even though I know it long ago that sleeping at odd hours or failing to get enough sleep does bad to our body health, I still watch football till 3 am last night.

I guess our good night’s rest has increasingly losing out to the Internet, e-mail, late-night cable and other distractions of modern life. At least, I need to change my life style to secure my health. But is that possible? LOL!

I was told to use these 2 combination to wash my car to completely wash away the greasy stains, dust and water marks of the car. Well, my maid told me that it does works better that the previous car wash solution.

But how? I was told that the car looks shinner after using these 2 Ecosense products. That’s quite true. And, she only uses few drops of Lemon Brite and a few spray of Tough & Tender. But when I told my friend about it, she said she never wash her car since decades. As if we are not driving the 5th wheel, we just couldn’t be bothered no matter how good the 5th wheel warranty is, right? Ha!

Somehow, this combination does not help to remove the common old rain drop marks on the car window screen which is a problem that I can’t solve since decades. LOL!

Hopefully next time when I try Sol U Mel, miracle will happen.

As I am getting to know more about ecofriendly products, I came across with this word — “biodegradable” quite often. When we are serious in saving the earth for our future generation, I guess we really got to look for this word whenever we buy a product.

As a biodegradable product simply means the product waste only consists natural stuffs that nature can degrade it and release it back to the atmosphere. Such as our garden waste that can turn to fantastic fertilizer.

On the other hand, non degradable stuffs especially heavy metals just won’t melt in nature.

Looks like it’s going to rain soon. I guess I can do some wood furniture care at home. This is the second time I am using this Rustic Touch. Another Ecosense product. Just spray it on the wood surfaces in the house and wipe it with a smooth cloth. Quite convenient!

I am quite satisfied with the result when I first use it. As my old wood cupboard did gained some brightness back when this rustic touch was applied on it. But, I am going to spray more on it this time for better results. As mum always said, I am just too stingy in terms of the amount of the product used. Hahahahaha……

Anyway, my mum advised me to do the job bit by bit in a daily basis. As she loves its light orange scent so much. It makes the house smells fresh and sweet. I guess she is absolutely right. So, I will just use it on one of the cupboard in the living room and my wooden table in my bedroom today. LOL!

I might also try it on DQ’s leader car seat today. Accordingly, It can also helps to protect, clean, shine and moisturize leader goods. Smart invention aye? It’s not only for country home anymore. With this feature, even those staying in the steel buildings will need it. Ha!

It’s been some time I never post about fashion. Then, I saw these online just now.

Oh…… All three lovely, cute and colorful toddler and infant halloween costumes. There are so much more such as little bee, mermaid, all animals, Mickey and Minnie, baby flower, fairies and so on. They are simply adorable! Thus, I want to share it with all the mummies.

By the way, little Elizabeth will certainly love to be the mermaid or tinker bell. Shall mummy make a costume party on this year end for little Elizabeth’s birthday? But, what should mummy and daddy wear then? Hehe……

I am going to kill you this time! *Slap* Yes! I did it! Dead!

I hate mosquitoes. Just imagine, I got 2 mosquito bites on my hand and 1 more on my leg just 10 minutes after I sat down in front of the computer. I remembered I got mosquito bites almost on my whole body including my face when I went for driving lessons right under a few big trees. That was a horrible scene. The instructor was shock. And keep nagging:” How could this possibly happened?” Hahahahahaha……

Many told me because my blood is acidic. And, that mosquitoes favourite. Whatever! Because of this experiences, I got something to share. When you got mosquito bites, immediate wash it with soap. In this case, not the expensive foamless soap. Those cheap soap works better all the time. To me, it is the best way to smooth the itchiness and also removing the little bumps.

My friend was so excited about Melaleuca products as her aunt in Taiwan is earning more than 30k a month from this company now. Well, her enthusiasm actually makes me feel curious. Thus, I did check with my maid how’s the products doing.

Looks like this “Prespot” was most praised. I was recommended to spray on any tough stains on the clothes 10 minutes before I wash the clothes. Yeap! It really works so well in removing the stains on my white pants effortlessly. No more bleaching products that eventually harm my old maid’s hand. Thus, she loves “Prespot”.

Also, spray it on men’s shirt’s collar to thoroughly clean the greesy buildups there cause by sweats without brushing, but just gentle hand rubs. It’s so clean! Again, it save my old maid’s energy. And this time, I am happier. As my maid always like to brush the collar. And, it’s really awful for hubby to walks out to work with a color fading collar.

It seems this “Prespot” might be as attractive as the RedEnvelope gifts for the working guys. As it “save” their collar. Ha! Of course, I supposed this effortless miracle household product is most appreciated by ladies who always did the washing.

These are all Ecosense products from Melaleuca. Melalueca is another new MLM company came into Malaysia since April. I joined and bought some from DQ’s customer. Initially, they are just meant to support her. Somehow, I am really satisfied with it’s quality after using it.

Anyway, I am kind of glad by using these EcoSense household cleaners. First, they are really very concentrated. Thus, they can be diluted while in use. Great saving! Secondly, they are biodegradable and are packed in recyclable bottles that can be easily recycled or reused.

It’s a good beginning to support the recycle program that seems to be the ultimate way to save the world.  :)

This is no longer the conventional chewing gums. This “Wrigley’s Extra Xylitol” claims to helps prevent tooth decay. What do you think? There are other range including tooth whitening gums. LOL! I guess later there might be gums that has the same effect as the 7-dfbx. So we just chew a gum and get to tone up our body. How about that? Ha!

Anyway, I guess I took chewing gums just to enjoy the chewing and stop the crave of food when I am too bored. DQ like it more than me. You know! Smokers usually need breath freshener when they want to socialize right after they finished smoking. Hehe……

Anyway, just in case you missed it. It’s stated on the gums’ packaging: Unsuitable for Phenylketonurics. And, “Excessive use can have laxative effect.”

However, we did gain advantage when these gums help us to increase our salivary flow rate.

This morning, I was surprised to read the news about a 60 years old lady just gave birth to her new born twins. I think it should be a good news. However, how nice if the younger couple who has infertility problem can have their baby too. I actually have a friend who just went to the doctor and had a surgery to fix the infertility problem. All the best for her!

Anyway, please drink no more than 2 cups of coffee or tea if you are trying to get pregnant. Experts also suggest that too much caffeine might also decrease the chances of a man with normal sperm count to impregnate his partner. This is absolutely something new to me. And, I thought it’s good to share.

Yeah… It’s Innertalk again. Everything is so convenient and advanced now. When we need to buy insurance for our car, all we need to do is just a few clicks on the carinsurancelist.com. That’s the beginning of making the impossible to possible. Ha!

Now with Innertalk, we can calm ourselves down and gain our inner peace by just listening to the CD while we are sleeping or working on something else. It sounds too good to be true aye? But, it works so well. Thus, I keep on buying. He!

By just playing this “Serenity Innertalk CD” for continuously 2 hours a day for only 3 days, my little princess was sleeping soundly till the morning again instead of keep having nightmares ever since she watch a horror movie together with us. Cheap and amazing effect.

I guess Innertalk has reached the ultimate goal of mission impossible. Hahahahahaha……

Missing a period is a sign of decreased estrogen levels. With lower levels of estrogen comes the possibility of osteoporosis. Besides, missed menstrual might leads to headaches, hair loss, vision changes and breast secretions.

So, don’t take it too easy when you often miss your period. The causes of irregular period including:

1) Extreme dieting

2) Obesity

3) Hormonal imbalance

4) Stress

5) Thyroid disease

6) Vigorous exercise

7) Birth Control pills

Sick for a long period of time

Thank God for less worries. So far, I never have this problem.

I know that television can affects one’s concentration especially the kids, if we watch it excessively. Somehow, I wouldn’t considered it as an idiot box. I found my girl learn a lot of knowledge from Astro Channel 613 and from “The Animal Planet” or “Travel and Living”.

Children absorb faster from the moving pictures in this box. But, I strongly agree that they can only watch 1 to 2 hours of TV a day. As more than that will surely affects their concentration in studies.Besides, it’s really stress relieving when the whole family sit down and enjoy a movie together during the weekends. It’s entertaining. The show creates common topics for our conversation too.

At the end of the day, it all depends on which show we are watching and how long we spend our time on the TV.Just think about it… Wouldn’t it be so out and weird if everyone is already talking about LG or Samsung 40″ Plasma or LED TV, but you have no TV or only 16″ of traditional TV at home? I just choose not to be an Alien. LOL!

Nowadays I always jog for a while with my little princess every morning before I send her to school. That’s her request. May her wish come true, at the same time mummy get to enjoy the fresh air in the morning. Just nice!

So I bought this. Nice 3/4 sports pants aye? Most importantly, it’s very comfortable. It’s thick cotton. Thus, good quality too. I love it! I might go for more colors again later on. LOL! (Good pants isn’t easy to find, ok? Ha!) May be I should buy another long one.

Finally, I managed to drink at least 1.5l of water a day. Good news! Big news too! Hahahahahaha……Now I am waiting for the miracle to happen. Ops… did I tell you why I must drink more water? It’s because of this.

“Drinking enough water will dissolve waste products in your system so it can be easily remove and flush out. Without enough water, there won’t be much to dissolve these product wastes and toxics, causing it to build up in your system and causing your body to expel these product wastes and toxics through your lungs and skin. And this can and will result in acne breakout.”

I don’t know how true is it. But it make sense. We can’t just concentrate on the treatments or super food that introduce to our body. Considering all the “not so healthy” food that we have take it nowadays, flushing out the toxins is equally important.

As if it works, I supposed this would be the cheapest among all the acne treatments.

How much water do you drink a day? I did measure it before by calculating how many cups of water I have drink. Why I did this? Obviously, I have realized I drink not enough water. So, I forced myself to drink more water by measuring my water intake this way.

Just after a few days, I don’t even bothered to record it anymore. An absolute failure! :(Then, my mum learned something from a friend in the temple last week.

So this is it. Fill up a 1.5l mineral water bottle every morning. Then, bring it along with you all the time. Then, make it a habit that at least finish this bottle of water everyday. It’s such a simple but great idea! How come I never thought of it? LOL!

As you can see, this is no diet pills. But another brand of fish oil. Yeah… I bought many brands of fish oil before Elizabeth finally accepts Seven Seas. Personally, I feel this “Nature’s Way Kids A+ Omega 3 Fish Oil” taste so much better than “Seven Seas Pure Cod Liver Oil”. It taste exactly like the fruity kids chewable vitamins.

Thus, I think I will give my little princess one more try of it after she finished the Seven Seas. By the way, I still let my girl continue taking the Cod Liver Oil as I feel she needs it to clear the phlegm and strengthen the lungs. Also according to the pharmacist, the recommended dosage is quite impossible to cause her nose bleeding. Most probably, her nose bleed because of the blood vessel broke as she blew her nose too hard.

Anyway, I did take precaution by cutting down the dosage. I am giving her 1 teaspoon instead of 2 as recommended.

I guess many ladies suffer from stretch marks during pregnancy or after giving birth. I had none after or during pregnancy. But, I did get some light stretch marks on the hip since teenage time. After so many years, I think it’s improving. May be the body oil that I only apply once in a blue moon does help. Or may be because of all the health food that I’ve took during all these years actually lightens these scars. Who knows!

Anyway, Stretch marks are caused when the skin is stretched to the point of breaking down, similar to elastic losing its’ elasticity when there is rapid weight gain or loss. Besides, It can also caused by hormonal changes.

Stretch marks are scars that we can hardly remove. But, eat food that good for skin or promotes collagen generation. Also, keep applying some body oil or stretch marks creams.It takes some time. Quite a long period of time to lighten it. Somehow, it will be lighten and looks so much better if not fully disappeared.  :)

I told you that I actually started my girl with Cod Liver Oil. And, it controls the cough so well. Somehow, I stopped her from taking fish oil these few days ever since her nose bleed on last Saturday.

As this is the first time her nose bleeding. And, it’s about 3 weeks right after she took Cod Liver Oil daily. I suspected it’s cause by Cod Liver Oil. As I knew that fish oil is a natural blood thinner. Immediately, I search online. And, I found this:-

“ If you do take large doses of fish oil for an extended period of time you are at risk for bleeding problems. You may get nose bleeds or notice blood in your urine. Your platelets will have trouble clotting and you could even end up having a stroke.”

And, this…

“How much is too much?  That’s the scary part. We really aren’t sure because there isn’t a maximum amount that you should take. However it is recommended that men take 1600 mg and women take 1100mg a day. ”

Anyway, my girl is just taking the recommended dosage that printed on the box. May be she did not take enough green leafy vegetable. Thus, easily cause blood thinning as she might has not enough vitamin K. May be it is not cause by Cod Liver Oil. Somehow, I definitely need to take precaution and cut down her intake of Cod Liver Oil.

I just got a new hair style. Boy cut type of short hair. Frankly, I just can’t wait for it to be longer now.

Again, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. I can’t blame the hair stylist too much. But, I thought he told me that my curly hair just isn’t suitable to have fringe. Then, why he did it this time?

Moral of the story: Never close your eyes and relax when you are having your hair cut. You just never know what will happen next. Hahahaha……Also, my engineer friend used to tell me:”Sometimes, you just don’t know what went wrong to the machine. So, you need new industrial hand wheels or any other parts you feel is possible to cause the jam. Most of the time, it’s trial and error until we got it right.”

I guess that applies to hair stylist too. LOL!

Sometimes, I read about Alzheimer disease. Just to know more about granny’s condition and gain some helpful information on this disease. In fact, any information on this disease is the most helpful guideline as emotional support for both care giver and the patient themselves.

Just as when I read about this 7 simple symptoms from one of the site, I told myself that may be I shouldn’t take it so personally in terms of emotional frustration when granny kept asking the same question over and over again or when she insisted that she just changed her clothes and it’s still clean after she had wore it for more than 1 week.

1. Asking the same question over and over again.

2. Repeating the same story, word for word, again and again.

3. Forgetting how to cook, or how to make repairs, or how to play cards - activities that were previously done with ease and regularity.

4. Losing one’s ability to pay bills or balance one’s checkbook.

5. Getting lost in familiar surroundings, or misplacing household objects.

6. Neglecting to bathe, or wearing the same clothes over and over again, while insisting that they have taken a bath or that their clothes are still clean.

7. Relying on someone else, such as a spouse, to make decisions or answer questions they previously would have handled themselves.

This is from the Zhen Qi Yun Xing Association Malaysia. This association is actually conducting a 10 day class in Butterworth now. My mum joined it. Today is the 4rd day. And, she felt the strong vibration flowing on her body even from the first lesson.

According to her, it’s kind of powerful. In fact, she was encouraged by her friends to join this class before she decided to join. As friends that joined before said it’s wonderful! Their aches and pains really improved a lot if not fully cured. And, it’s only RM300 for the full 10 days course. After that, we can just practice at home. Best still, my mum said the steps to practice is really easy.

By the way, it’s a course that teaches us the way to preserve and regain our healthy by practicing a simple method. Something like meditation. Wow! Sounds like a great health backup which is just as convenient as the online backup  for computer data.  Done with my sharing.

Just bought a dragon fruit yesterday. It’s big and sweet. Besides, it’s only RM 4 per fruit. I love dragon fruit. But, definitely not DQ. Somehow, I find that taking too much of this sweet Dragon fruit in one shot can actually cause minor diarrhea.

Thus, It is absolutely a great source of natural laxative. Besides, Dragon fruits are well known for being a great source of antioxidants, Vitamin C and fibers. In fact, it is also rich in minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus. Moreover, the seeds are also a great source of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Thus, it seems become another super fruit that is highly beneficial for our body health.

Anyway, I like the red skin with white meat best as I don’t want to paint the toilet bowl red. Ha! Somehow, I have never seen the yellow skin type being sold locally. I wish I have a chance to try it too. LOL!

I did not wear my sunglasses all the time. However, I will wear it whenever I go under the sunlight from today onwards. As I just read that sunglasses help us to stop squinting which causes wrinkles. I agreed.

Also, I will try my best to sleep on my back from now on. As the pillow may be pulling or rubbing our face or eyes area, causing pressure and encouraging wrinkle formation. But, sleeping aside or on my stomach is so comfortable. LOL!

Still, smile more gently without straining the eyes and applying eye cream are the foremost important prevention steps for eye wrinkles. And, we can always learn more about eye cream through the many reviews made online. Just please don’t asked me which is the best eye cream review. Ha!

Do you eat porridge in the morning? I love porridge. And, this is the Teow Choew style porridge with this popular Toew Chew spicy and sour dish called “Chai Buay”.  My favourite!

But, I know it’s kind of weird if Westerners are asked to eat porridge early in the morning. This is a unique culture of the Chinese. But, I have to admit that we Chinese are getting Westernized now. Thus, less people eating porridge in the morning now.

Well, Chinese believe that eating porridge can form a protective layer to out stomach. Seems to be a good way to prevent stomach ulcer. Besides, it is easily digested if compared to rice. Thus, we are encourage to take porridge instead of rice when we are sick.

Of course, this favourite dish of mine is kind of inappropriate to serve as breakfast. But, fish, chicken, pork or sweet potato porridge are definitely delicious and nutritious for breakfast.

DQ got migraine headaches quite often. He will always take Panadol Active Fast to relief himself from bad headaches. I guess it’s best to find out the roots of this problem if I really want to help him.

Common Migraine triggers include:

1) Stress from work or elsewhere.

2) Skipping meals or fasting.

3) Smoking heavily or consume too much caffeine.

4) Always under the bright and strong sunlight.

5) A change of weather.

6) Perfume, paint thinner or secondhand smoke.

7) Jet lag or motion sickness.

Getting too much or not enough sleep.

9) Certain  medications.

10) Hormonal changes in women.

Anyway, there are claims saying that genetic factor seems to play a role in causing migraine headaches, besides all these environmental factors. When I asked around, I think it’s rather true.

It’s a product that high in carbohydrates and low in nutrients. Also, the high amount of sodium and msg seems to be the cause of many diseases. In fact, instant noodles were highly associated with stomach cancer because of the wax being coated on the noodles and the Styrofoam container.

In this case, don’t boil the noodles directly in the Styrofoam pack. Just shift it to a big porcelain cup or bowl. Best still if we can cooked it in a pot. And, it’s safer to pour away the water before the noodles in fully softened to clear the wax melted in it.

Then, replace some hot water into the noodles before you add in the flavoring powder. You will consume less msg if you can just add in half of the provided flavoring powder. And, you are always encouraged to add in vegetables, egg, meat or seafood. Also, no flavoring powder for my child. I will always cooked my own soup. Then, add the noodles in it.

Of course, take less instant noodles if you can.

The main difference between fish oil and cod liver oil is that cod liver oil is high in vitamin D. The cod liver oil has the advantage of providing vitamin D, which is necessary for most of us. Especially for those living in countries with cold months of winter.

So remember! We need Omega 3 just as much as the indoor and outdoor fireplaces or warm pools during winter months. As we don’t get very much sun exposure on our skin in order to make vitamin D during winter time.

If you think that Cod Liver Oil is just to strengthen our bones and vision, it’s definitely more than that. I can confirmed that Cod Liver Oil is very good for our lungs. And, it’s a fantastic product to stop bad cough. Be it for the cough with phlegm or dry cough. It’s good for both. You will be surprised that it is far more effective than many prescribed medicines.

And, this Seven Seas Cod Liver Oil actually helps my little princess (who has cough for more than a month) stop coughing after she consumed only 2 teaspoons for the first time. Thus, I am consuming it too.

As my pants getting tighter, my mum’s pants is actually getting looser. Looks like I can forget about my plan A. And, just consume the black coffee which contains black cumin every morning like what my mum is doing recently.

By the way, this balck seed is not only a great natural diet supplements, but it’s also a health seeds that included in many health supplements now. It’s good for overall health. In fact, it is regarded as one of the greatest form of healing medicine available in Islam.

However, I am not quite a coffee drinker. I guess I will just start with half sachet in every morning.

I am definitely putting on weight since I came back form Spain. No need to weigh. I can feel it easily as my pants are getting tighter. LOL!

I know the reason. It’s because I ate too much during the tour. And can’t stop eating ever since I came back. I guess it’s time to get back to healthy diet. Eating more fruits and vegetables. Less meat, less rice and no junks.

But last night, I just bought some junks back from the night market. Can I eat some? Nope! Leave it to hubby! Must insist! And, it’s time to get back to Fabelos!

May be should swim a few labs more too. No nuphedragen yet. Unless I fail! Hehe……

I am hanging it on my wrist whenever I go out now. It’s my new handbag from Spain with the brand name  –Uterque. It’s just a local brand. I always prefer to buy handbag whenever I go overseas. I especially like to collect leader bag with unique design. As it’s definitely something that will make me feel good after doing it. Ha!

This is the first time I bought the wrist hanging design. It’s very elegant.  I love the stylish look. And, the brown leader color can match with almost every color of my outfit. The most important thing is I got a new bag. That’s something worth celebrating. Thus, even though it carry some weight. I don’t mind anymore as I really like the design so much! Hahahahahaha……

I always wear casual dresses like this recently. Somehow, I find that I have no shoes that make a nice match with it.

Then, I found this online yesterday. I think they are going to make a good match. It’s a pair of fine quality leather shoes from Cole Haan I like leader shoes. But, I am not used to flat ‘Capri’ T strap sandals. Will it match my skinny flat feet? What do you think? Are they good match?

So this is what left from the whole pure dried figs cake topping with other dried fruits and nuts. I quite like the taste of dried fig if it’s taken bit by bit. Plus all the other yummy stuffs like macadamia nuts, walnuts, cranberries and apricots. This thing is simply healthy and yummy!

Frankly, I have never seen neither fresh nor dried figs in Penang. Thus, I will always buy some whenever I saw it in overseas. Last time from Greece. Now from Spain. But, I am still waiting for the chance to try the fresh fig.

Anyway, Figs are rich in both vitamins A, B1, B2 and calcium, iron, phosphorus, manganese, sodium potassium and chlorine; But dried figs are rich in fibre, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron.

In general, fig is laxative, diuretic, digestible and a great antioxidant and blood cleanser. Thus, it is especially helpful for the liver. Besides, It a great source of energy and dietary fiber. Thus, I supposed it’s a sweet way to loose weight if we include fig in our weight management program.  :wink:

One of my new friend which I know from the Spain trip gave this to me. It’s so kind of her. This gift give me a chance to figure out how to put it on my eye lids to make me look more beautiful while I put on make up. I am really an idiot in terms of making up.

So, can you imagine a girl like me who actually prefer and feels more comfortable to keep the face bare and original actually has a mother who was in beauty line for more than 30 years? Hahahahahaha……

I thought of following mum’s footstep, attending posh beauty school like Cosmetology school in Missouri. Then, become a well known beautician for the rest of my life. Somehow, this idea seems gone with the wind long ago ever since I had pimples popping up non stop on my face. Hahahahahahahaha…………

I will show you when I eventually put this false eyelashes on during special occasion, ok?

Today, this is my breakfast. Yum! Yum!

Take more of this Sweet Papaya and White Fungus soup, fellow Malaysian. All the ingredients in it including papaya, white fungus and rock sugar are of great help to moisturize our lungs. Thus, it’s effective in preventing dry cough or clearing the phlegm and cough.

In fact, white fungus is just as good as the expensive bird’s nest. They have lots of similar health properties. On the other hand, papaya is rich in enzymes which aid digestion. Moreover, this combination of papaya, white fungus and rock sugar is strengthening our body immune system. As it’s good for our stomach, liver and lungs.

For your information, healthy stomach, liver and lungs actually contribute to healthy skin and slowing down aging process. Besides, this soup is a great source of antioxidants too. Try it! Cheap in price but excellent for health!

This is one of my precious from Spain. My first LV — the most expensive handbag I have ever bought. It’s my favorite white. Light. Spacious. Classic. Elegant. Something really nice. Just not as convenient to carry around like those with shoulder sling.

Anyway, it’s a birthday gift for my mum. I want her to have my first LV. As I still remembered she bought lots of great gifts for me whenever she was away to work overseas. Now, it’s my chance to return the favor. At least it’s a way to tell her how much I appreciate all that she has done for me after all these years. I will always save the best for you, mum. LOL!

I can see that she really precious it. It seems that she will only use it on wedding invitations or some other special occasions. By the way, she offered me to share the bag with her. Hehe…… That’s always the best part of staying together aye?  :wink:

It’s been weeks since I came back from Spain. So I supposed you thought that I never buy anything back? I did. But just a few items. No shoes, No home decoration items. Just 2 handbags. Yeah… It’s always handbag cause I like handbags. Hehe……

Also, these 3 Hard Rock body hugging T. I love these T. T shirts might not be very appealing to the eye of fashion. Somehow, it’s very handy for all casual outings in our daily lives. And, collecting Hard Rock T has become my interest. As now, DQ, my little princess and I enjoy wearing them out together.

That’s it. As I can’t  help it but spending too much time on kids’ stuffs especially for my girl.

It’s a filter cartridge. But definitely not for the fish pond filter. It’s the filter cartridge for simple water filter used at home. Even the price is so cheap. 3 for only RM 15. Cheap but good.

Previously I am using something more expensive for the filter used in my bathtub. But, the water is not as soft as this one. The water came out from this filter is really soft. Wonderful for bath soaking. And, excellent for shower bath. Try it and you will know what I am talking about.

By the way, softer water is always more gentle and better for our skin health. Thanks to Tesco.

This is what I brought home from Spain. It’s quite cheap. Only 8 Euros (about RM 36). I was told by the tour guide that those sellers of raw honey, home made figs and cheese along the walkway up to Montserrat are local framers. So, I tried my luck. Hoping it’s pure honey this time.

So I bought this, as this is the purest according to the seller. I think it’s quite different from those I bought in the shop. As this is the first time I saw such thick honey. And, as I placed it in the fridge, it become something like jelly. And, it has no sign of the syrup scent. I supposed it’s quite pure.

Somehow, this is the second time I bought this white honey. And, I realized this white honey always got lots of tiny crystals in it. I supposed it’s still pure as I learn from some online sources that those tiny crystals are form by the natural process of rapid crystallization of white honey. Hopefully it’s not fine sugar. LOL!

I am someone who will definitely keep my eyes wide open for the whole night long if I actually drink a big cup of caffeinated drinks like tea or coffee after dinner. Thus, I am forced to drink only chocolate, milk or juice if I spent my night at Starbucks or Coffee Beans. Other than that, I sleep quite well every night. Thanks God. As sleep is very important for health.

Anyway, I can’t sleep tight at all since last night. As I am really excited about tomorrow’s journey to Spain. LOL! I should have take a bowl of clams soup for dinner, it will sure leads me to sweet dreams before 11pm. Believe it or not, I had tried a few times. It’s natural yet so effective. Thus, it has become the best sleeping pills for me. Hehe……

Somehow, I am not sure weather it is helpful for insomnia patients. But, no harm trying. Good luck! And, happy vacation to myself. Here I come Madrid and Barcelona.  :P

Last Saturday,  I went to hair salon cut my hair again. Just want to look nicer in DQ’s grand company dinner and also for the trip. Anyway, I had my 2nd Loreal Hair Spa too. The massage was great! And, I am glad I learned from the steps that tonic should be apply while my hair is still wet.

Yeah… I tried. And, it works better this way too for my Inno’s Tonic. So, no more applying it after I blow my hair. But, immediately after I dry my hair with towel. By the way, I was encouraged by the salon owner to share this shampoo with DQ. As according to her, it is also effective for those with minor hair loss problem which is common among guys.

Well, this is non of his concern yet. He is simply more interested in knowing how to prevent more grey hair coming out than how to prevent hair loss. LOL!

When it comes to eating, Okinawans practice a cultural habit of calorie control called Hara Hachi Bu, which means “eating until you are 80% full.   Once again, this statement has proved that we should always avoid overeating to maintain good health. It’s from the Sushi King member’s newsletter. So, at least try to avoid as many buffet dinner as possible. Ha!

It seems easy. But actually it’s not. We need to be very discipline to make it happen like how we practice all the other good habits. Somehow, it’s still nothing complicated. Just eat with discipline. That’s it!  And, you will surely get so much healthier. I promised. Hahahahaha……

It’s like coffee. But, it taste nothing like coffee. Anyway, It’s today’s special. This is the boiled Prunella with Molasses that I am talking about not long ago.

I told you I always drink it when the weather gets hot. As the great source of iron and anti inflammatory property in it really does strengthen our immune system during hot days which makes it just as good as the best multivitamins in your fridge.

But today, I add in Vigna radiata (a type of green peas) which is also good to prevent us from getting sick during hot weather.

It’s also cooling to the body. It should be anti inflammatory too. As I have been told by the elderly that it is rather helpful for acne problem.

Of course, they are perfect match not just because of their similarity in healing properties. When we boil them together, it taste great. Taste smoother and lighter if compared to just boiling the Prunella alone with molasses.

Just to share with you the 6 surprising signs you’ll live to 100 that I’ve read from the “ALTERNI TIMES” about an hour ago.

1) Outgoing people are 50% less likely to develop dementia. So, long live for those party king and queens. Hahahahaha……

2) Your body will function better physically and cognitively as you get older and you shall live longer too, if you run for a total of 5 hours per week. It’s ok if you started a bit late. As this fact is meant for middle age people. So, run especially when you are at the age that you don’t feel like running anymore. LOL!

3) We always want to look younger. So, we applied all sought of cream, have surgeries and eat lots of health supplements. I guess the best way is still feel younger. Feel it whole-heartedly. Even if you don’t look 10 to 20 years younger. You can always feel like you do. That’s good enough. Hahahahaha……

4) Embrace techie trends. Let Twitter, facebook or Skype to help you stay connected with friends, family and current events that will certainly makes you feel vital and relevant. And, that’s what keep the brain cells young and healthy.

5) You will have a younger and healthier heart if you can limit your daily calories to 1400 to 2000. Please share the secret with me if you really make it.

6) Lastly, if no one has ever complain that you are snoring loudly… Congratulation! Cause only old people snores. LOL! Not exactly. You might live longer without snoring as you are not at risk of sleep apnea which can cause high blood pressure, memory problem, weight gain and depression.

Looks like it’s not only a fantastic foot soak. it is also an amazing spa option. Especially during hot weather. As I tried it in my bath tub last week. Just 3 tablespoon in a tub full of water actually kept me cool for the whole afternoon till the evening. Thanks to Auntie Jen (my mum’s friend). It’s a great gift!  :P

And, you can trust me as I certainly has no employment contract with The Body Shop. Ha! I share it because I think it’s really cool when you are looking high and low for ways to stop your sweat during any hot sunny day.
