cleaning time made easy

I have barely a month to go before I give birth to our first born and like any expectant parents, hubby and I are now busy preparing the house for our prince. We both want a healthy environment for the baby, so we are making sure every corner of the house and the car is spick and span.

The carpets arrived this morning from the rug cleaners and hubby says, starting today we will have to get used to vacuuming around the house everyday. Living in Dubai with all the desert, sand, and dust are already a major health threat. We do not want the baby to risk having allergies, asthma, or any serious illness that can be triggered by trapped particles on the carpet. But I am afraid our old vacuum is no longer up to the job.

Strenuous shopping these days is crossed among my allowed activities so I turned to a favorite chore, the online shopping, this time at Dyson site. The website specializes on reliable vacuum cleaners ranging from the upright to cylinder and the hand held. I am really glad that I discovered this website because I was able to avail of their special offer. We decided on a cylinder upright and we were also given a car cleaning kit. Just exactly what hubby needs to keep the car clean and healthy too for the baby. Dyson site also offers parts and accessories to help you ease your cleaning thus making this house chore simply enjoyable, you would not mind cleaning everyday. So if you are looking for a reliable vacuum cleaners, be assured with the Dyson technology.

Vitamins to the Rescue

Good evening everyone. I am working on a new blog and I am really excited about it. It is actually a continuation of my very first personal journal. But since I have an increasing difficulty to access it, (and before the Dubai government completely blocks the website) I thought of making a new blog to transfer links of my Bravenet friends and my posts. When you have time, do visit Outside Our Not So Big House and let me know if you want to be added as well.

For now, I shall continue with my health clippings on vitamins.

2. Stress and Fatigue

The Condition
A lot has been said about stress, but the most ironic part about it is that although a little stress in your life does motivate you to keep moving and be productive, too much of it can get the better of your body.

Some physical symptoms of stress include headache, fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite or overeating, increased smoking or drinking, muscle spasms and lowered libido.

Psychological symptoms may include tension or anxiety, anger, withdrawal, pessimism, lack of concentration, resentment and increased irritability. Over a long period of time, stress can cause more serious conditions such as ulcers and skin diseases. {ep[le have different tolerance level of stress, and the effect it has on your body depends on many things like genes, diet and exercise.

The Solution
B group vitamins have been noted to help deal with stress. For best results, choose one with added magnesium which assist in muscle relaxation. Herbs with sedative effects such as Valerian, Passion Flower and Hops may also relieve jittery nerves. And if you are feeling anxious, try Hypericum, which has been proven to help with anxiety symptoms.
