More than a month ago, I wrote about the broken leg of my eyeglasses, thanks to my litte C. It was temporarily fixed by M so until now I don’t feel the urgent need yet to get a replacement. I decided I’ll use it as much as I can to at least compensate the amount I paid for it. Getting the same kind of eyeglasses here in Europe will be quite expensive.
But I might consider ordering online coz there’s this cheap eyeglasses store that I’ve been reading much about lately. I bet you’ve heard about it too. Does Zenni Optical sounds familiar to you? It‘s an online retailer of affordable eyeglasses. Imagine a simple pair starting at $8? I checked how much my kind of eyeglasses would cost, and I was surprised it was really very cheap at only $39!
How can they sell eyeglasses that cheap? I found out that they sell directly from their own manufacturer to customers hence lessening the cost coz there are no middlemen involved. They also don’t spend too much on advertisement. With their very cheap price, I can even order maybe 2 pairs and still pay less than what I would have to pay in my favorite optical shop for 1 pair.
If only they have an online eye check-up, it would be great to know how much my eye grade is now, before ordering eyeglasses.
Long hours of sitting can cause back pains. This used to happen to me often before especially when I forget to stand and stretch. It rarely happens now as little C keeps me on my toes most of the time and out of my chair. Aside from occasional break from prolonged sitting, it also helps to use an ergonomically-designed chair to provide proper back support and comfort.
One company that accepts made to order ergonomic chairs, Work Benches, drafting tables and other technical furniture is Formaspace. They design and create elegant, practical and flexible products for clients working in the technical field, making it conducive to their specific needs. Having this kind of furniture gives workers the flexibility and ease of movement in a work environment. Just what they need to avoid or lessen injuries or back pains.
The past two Sundays, we had our lunch at my mother-in-law’s place. Each time she served the food, there’s a tomato salad on the side, but its always little C eating most of my part. I don’t have any complaints. In fact we’re just so happy that she eats almost anything we give her; whether its fruits, vegetables or meat, she’s game! As we all know, fruits and vegetables are good sources of fibers which is good for her. I hope she’ll continue this good eating habit till she grows into an adult. I know some parents have a hard time feeding their kids with vegetables and it can be problem to the kids’ health and also later on when these kids grow. Not having enough fiber in the body can clog our colon with mucous and toxins. Yay!
Munching an apple. That’s a good girl!
Other people had to take colon cleanser such as Dual-Action Cleanse coz they have problems with their bowel movements, etc. Dual-Action Cleanse works like natural fibers too coz they eliminate toxins and clean the colon to make one feel lighter and clean inside.
Anyway, its best to train our kids to eat healthy foods while they’re still young so they won’t have health problems in the future. Introduce greens to their diet!
Do you know that sitting for long period especially during travel (long flights or road trip) can be harmful to your legs? Blood clotting can develop in the legs when the muscles are inactive throughout the trip. Leg muscles are responsible for helping the blood flow back to your heart and without any leg movements; the blood circulation slows down thus developing into blood clots. This condition is what they call the Travel Thrombosis, Economy Class Syndrome and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
This can be prevented by wearing Travel Socks by Kendall that are specially designed to provide circulation and reduce leg swelling. In fact, hospitals have been using Kendall Travel Socks in their patients to prevent DVT.
The next time you take a long trip be sure to stretch your legs for blood to circulate properly or better yet, wear Travel Socks. It can save your life!

Can you feel your heartbeat? The heart is the most important muscle of every human since it pumps blood into the body. Once your heart stops beating, then you’re dead!
Because of poor diet, unhealthy lifestyle and other factors, more people are suffering from heart ailments. More and more people are dying because of heart attack or heart failure. According to survey, there are 1,400 people who die each day from a heart attack in the US (W.H. Howard, M.D., M.S., F.A.C.C., F.A.C.P., How to protect your heart from your doctor). To provide more information about the heart and how to help people with heart problems, St. Jude Medical created an online site where they have series of videos on heart-related issues.
It’s where I knew about ICD or implantable cardioverter defibrillator, a device which is implanted in a patient’s chest tomonitor and correct abnormal heart rhythms. How this device has helped heart failure patient Arthur Gorr can be viewed in this video link: ICD user talks about his life with ICD.
Please spread the word about the Heart Library. It may benefit him or her!
