STARBUCKS PURE COFFEE AROMA

Let me take a break from writing serious articles, I just came home, have my two tall of Starbucks Frappuccino courtesy of HSBC  ( The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation ). I never knew that there was a promo 'til June of 2010, that whenever you purchase something using the HSBC credit card for a certain amount, you get a tall Starbucks coffee of your choice. They send me SMS about the promo. Luckily I updated my contact information. I love coffee if it's free. Even coffee is bad for my health since I have hormonal migraine (doctors does not advice coffee to people like me), I would love to take this opportunity to try the newest flavor of Starbucks (Java Chip Frappucino) and my all time favorite Strawberries and Creme Frap (which I gave to my mom since she is using my extension card). Do you wonder why Starbucks coffee shop has a pure relaxing coffee aroma? (I love  the smell, very addicting). One source told me (a friend of mine), that whenever Starbucks hired you as

BABY RASHES

It hurts to see your baby crying out loud because of that reddish thing that you see on her diaper lining. These are diaper rash or diaper dermatitis; it is caused by diaper staying wet on the skin, rubbing of diaper on the skin and some chemicals that blend with the diaper that is found in urine and stool. Common causes are: ·          If the wet diaper stays long on babies, especially if they sleep for long hours and we are unable to change it. ·          If the baby is already eating solid foods. The chemical content on their stool and urine might change causing the rashes. ·          Constant rubbing of skin. 

GREEN TEA, GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH BUT BEWARE

Green tea is one of my favorite drinks at Yoshinoya, (A Japanese fast food chain known for its tasty foods at an affordable price).  I like the taste of it since it’s not too sweet. If this is the first time you will taste it, it may taste grassy, but when you get used to it, its taste is refreshing. (I’m talking about a cold green tea with a touch of lemon).  This is one kind of preparation of the tea, though it may be served hot or cold. Oh I love it with ice especially on hot season. Green tea is good for our health if we take it moderately.   It has polyphenols (a plant substance) that prevents cancer and cardiovascular or heart disease . A study conducted in toxicity of polyphenols, has shown that excessive consumption of green tea, can cause kidney and liver disease. As a green tea drinker we should not be worried that we might have a kidney and liver disease, since it only occurs to those people who take the green tea supplement.

TO TAKE PILLS OR NOT

(Any medical issue written here is not for you to follow, it is only additional information regarding about the topic. If you will take any pills please see a doctor first!) Women today married or not, have tried to take hormonal pills. It can be for contraception purposes or for  medication. Taking pills for the purpose of medication is not questionable since we are using it to treat a certain illness. But what concerns me more is, a lot of teenagers today are taking pills without consent (Of course who would want to know that they are sexually active). But before diving in to taking pills, there are things that we must know. “Any synthetically made pills have side effects.” According to one doctor I’ve talked to, it can trigger diabetes plus it is not allowed to women with hypertension. That’s why you need to consult an OB/GYN before you take any pills or medicine. To make things clear, pills has two hormone content, it is the oestrogen and progestogen. These two hormones are pr

HOW TO TALK TO KIDS ABOUT TOUGH ISSUES OR SUBJECTS

Raising a kid is the most rewarding and yet very challenging part of being a parent.  Getting your child to talk is even harder when the kid is growing especially teenagers. I noticed that talking to a two year old is much easy and comfortable compared to older kids. Toddlers are not ashamed to ask questions, relevant or not, because they are just starting to know the things that surrounds them. While teenagers have some sort of idea how things are and most of the times they are the one exploring things and putting it into action rather than asking questions.  Which I think is more dangerous since teenagers are already interacting with different people, they have the tendency to pick up wrong ideas or even be influenced by bad people. In this very complicated world that we have today, it is tough to explain things or issues  to kids so that they will clearly understand what are the things we try to convey. Especially those issues like, sex and sexuality, relationship, alcohol, divorc
