Our Kids and Sports

Author RosselPosted on 1 Comment

Hubby and RJ are playing badminton every morning on weekends. RJ got her love for sports from her dad who is a basketball and volleyball player.

I may not be playing badminton with RJ that often but I am giving her my full support. I bought her good rackets and shuttlecocks. I am also planning to buy her aircast ankle brace and wrist brace with mild level of support yet great at preventing injuries. I am not over reacting or being over protective. I know that badminton is not a contact sport. I just believe that contact sport or not, it is important for our children to be properly geared because we never know when injuries will occur. With proper gears, injuries will be prevented as they jump, roll, slip or fall.

I am happy that RJ love sports. In today’s world where kids are spending more time in front of television and computer, engaging into sports is one of the best things that can happen to our kids. It will not only help them understand the importance of being healthy and fit but it will also help them to be disciplined, gain self-confidence and learn to set and achieve goals.

Retro Look

I received this bunch of roses as birthday gift from my bestfriend Hazel. RJ love them so much. She hugged and kissed them as if the bouquet is meant for her.

Then she asked for the ribbon. I thought she will use it to tie something but instead she used it as headband. Lol! So the stage Mom dabbed a little orange eyeshadow on her eyelids and asked her to pose. Voila! Retro look…

Soft Cuddly Sleepmate

Author RosselPosted on 2 Comments

RJ has few stuffed animals that she loves to play with but Snoopy is her only favorite sleepmate. She cannot sleep without Snoopy.

Soft Cuddly Toy

Kids, most especially girls, love soft cuddly sleepmate to hug at night. They can get comfort with these toys thus they sleep well. However, these sleepmates can roll over your babies and can suffocate them so make sure your children are big enough to have these kind of toys. How big is big? When your children lift their heads and move on their own, then they can have soft cuddly sleepmates that will comfort and rock them to sleep.

Free Hot Health Treatment

Author RosselPosted on 4 Comments

I had another great “Me” time this week. Would you believe it’s free? I was blogging in our terrace using my lappy when three women approached and asked me if I want to try their portable steam bath. I was hesitant at first but after making sure that there’s no string attached, I tried it. They set up the unit in a few minutes then there I go.

Portable Steam Bath

The unit is like a tent, only it uses high quality polyurethane siding to retain all heat inside and prevent as little steam from leaving as possible. It comes with a remote controlled steamer machine where one of the women pour 1 liter of water with ginger and lime juice. According to her we can use any kind of herb that is good for the skin or anything that we believe is a good antioxidant, even coffee or milk.

I was asked to drink a glass of water while waiting for the water in the steamer to boil. It’s a half body steam bath so I sat on a monoblock chair to cover up to my neck. I was inside for about 20 minutes and I perspired so much. I had a great free hot health treatment…a very relaxing “Me” time that keeps me sane the whole week.
