Eczema is a skin disorder with symptoms such as rashes, swelling, redness, dry crusting flaky skin and itchiness. My nephew suffered from eczema from the age of two. But has since controlled the symptoms of eczema after a year of trying out various eczema treatments. Eczema is an incurable skin disorder but with the right eczema treatments, the symptoms are manageable. Although dermatologists prescribe corticosteroids to relieve eczema symptoms, it is not advisable to rely on steroid-based medication in the long-term. One major side-effect of corticosteroids, in prolonged use, is increased risks of skin thinning and becoming fragile.

My complexion these days is terrible. Tired and lack of sleep is making my face look quite dreadful. To make things worst, I’ve got acne breakouts. Of all days, why must pimples pop up during Chinese New Year, a time where family and friends gather. I’m going on an all out acne spot treatment assault the past 2 days. Not that I’m expecting the acne to subside in merely a day or two. But at least, just to stop any pimples from breaking out.

Even been asked what is the best weight loss supplement? Well I have, plenty of times actually and I’m usually honest with my answer, which is – I don’t know coz my weight. The past few years, I’ve used quite a number of weight loss products. Followed numerous dieting routines and recommendation. And committed to varying intensity of aerobics and exercising. I didn’t keep tabs on my progress so I can’t say for sure which products helped, let alone how effective they are. But one thing is certain, without dieting and exercising, any product is useless. Moderation when it comes to food is a major key. As well as adopting a moderately active lifestyle.

Pre-employment screening is a common procedure along the process of employment. Before an employer approve of a potential candidate, a job seeker is usually required to undergo a pre-employment screening procedure, which checks a job seeker’s criminal history, academic records, former employers, former residences, credit status, driving history – among other things. In this day and age, we can be fairly certain pre-employment screening is a must for job seekers.

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) has baffled doctors for decades. But is the mystery of SIDS, solved? A study led by researcher Dr Jhodie Duncan, of the Melbourne-based Florey Neuroscience Institutes, has discovered a clue to why seemingly healthy babies become victims of SIDS.
Dr Duncan’s team of researchers believe babies who suffered SIDS have insufficient serotonin, a neurotransmitter substance in the brainstem that regulates life sustaining bodily functions, one of which is breathing. Low level of serotonin may be the cause of why babies who die from SIDS, suddenly stops breathing. One of the responsibilities of serotonin is regulate breathing. When a baby’s breathing is distrupted, serotonin sends a signal to the brain to awake the baby.
I believe like me, every mother to a newborn or infant is spooked by stories of SIDS. I have read all about anti-SIDS safety practises. But this breakthrough study sheds scientific proof on SIDS. I hope further research goes into this study and soon in the future, newborns are routinely tested for serotonin deficiency.

Anyone for a surefire quick weight loss tip? Apart from my usual dieting, exercising and diet supplements, household chores is a major contributor to weight loss. Never underestimate how much time and effort a house takes. Even more so when you have kids around to take care of. Although it has been a stressful few months since Baby Edward was born, I am delighted at my weight loss pace. My husband too have lost a lot of weight due to helping out with household chores. Old clothes in the wardrobe, one size too small previously, can be worn again.

Due to a stressful two weeks of house cleaning, I’ve also noticed my complexion is absolutely pathetic. My eyebags is especially noticeable due to lack of sleep. I’m definitely not looking forward to meeting friends and relatives with my distressed face, if I have a choice. There are many nights where I’m just too tired after a whole day’s work, I sleep without the usual skincare cleansing routine, moisturising and under eye cream. I definitely can’t be lazy and skip my skincare routine from now on.

With two kids to take care of, cleaning the house to usher in Chinese New Year is more stressful and time-consuming than I imagined. Even with the help of my husband, it took us a lot of time to spring clean our house. I woke up this morning with a bad shoulder and backache and had to resort to joint pain relief treatment to ease the pain. I hope to get some good rest tonight and wake up feeling refresh tomorrow morning.

Baby Edward has pretty much establish a stabler night sleeping routine where he would sleep for at least 5-6 hours in a row. Unless woken up very uncomfortably by wind in her tummy.
Clarisse too has made pleasant progress when it comes to sleeping time. It has always been mommy who tucks her in for the past 2 and a half years. She needs me by her side to doze off every night. But for the past two to three weeks, Clarisse doesn’t need me to sleep next to her. This free up some time for me to tend to baby Edward instead of relying on daddy to take care of him until Clarisse sleeps.
It took us a couple of weeks to be sure Clarisse has finally adapted to sleeping alone. Not just a fluke.
