Decongestant For Your Allergies

Allergies are constantly on the rise. According to scientists, about 20 % of world’s population is suffering from some type of allergy. Most of doctors think that changes to our environment and our lifestyle are the main reason why more and more people are suffering from this type of irritation. People are spending a lot of time inside, we are eating different food, our environment is polluted and chemical products used for cleaning can often cause severe reactions. Children are especially sensitive because most of the allergies first appear during infancy while their frequency is reduced between 20 and 30 years of age. Children are inheriting these allergies directly from their parents as well as genetic predisposition to have them.

This condition can be defined as excessive reaction of immune system to substances (allergens) in our midst. During allergic reaction, certain types of anti-bodies lead to activation of cellular immune system and various mediators are released within the body. This way, inflammatory process begins as a response to outer elements and it can vary in intensity, from mild allergic reaction to asthma.

There are numerous reasons why person contracts allergy. According to new data provided by You! Drugstore, it seems that allergy is the only disease that affects different systems of organs. Children usually suffer from allergic sneezing (rhinitis) and about 40 % of children in USA are affected by it. Parent can notice runny nose, mucus is clear, itching and sneezing are also standard symptoms. If the first changes on skin appear during first months of life, this means that the child will be prone to allergies.

Our response depends on severity of allergic reaction. Mild problems can be effectively treated by using medicine such as Otrivin while asthma is much trickier because it is chronic reaction and person will need to deal with it till the rest of his life.

Otrivin is a decongestant. This means that the drug is used to shrink blood vessels. It comes in a form of nasal spray and by using it, patient is able to reduce blood vessels that are positioned within the nose which will reduce body’s reaction to various substances from our environment. This way, we are able to prevent severe reaction and reduce sneezing, redness and swelling. Otrivin is quite potent drug. It shouldn’t be used more than 2 or 3 times per day. Also, entire therapy should last for about 3 to 5 days. After that, you will be able to breathe properly.

Having in mind that the drug is pretty strong, there are certain diseases and conditions that can prevent you from using it. Before you start using Otrivin, it is necessary to consult with your doctor if you are suffering from diabetes, kidney or liver diseases, enlarged prostate or if you are having issues during urination, glaucoma, thyroid problems, heart issues or high blood pressure. Common side effects of using Otrivin are: fast heartbeat, hallucinations, different allergic reactions such as swelling, closing of throat, difficulty breathing and seizures.

Door Security: Door Locks, Deadbolts and Door Closer

Pintooooo! Yung pintoooo isara nyoooo! Lalabas ang aircon!! este ang lamig ng aircon!! Yung pinto pleaaaseeeee

When was the last time you screamed for the door? Never? aba swerte mo! Here, whatever I say, they always forgot closing the door.. or baka may door closer ang pinto ninyo?

In most hotels we stayed, may ganito eh, but only during our Ace Hardware trip that I got to learn how useful and how much I need this kind of door essential in my life. Bigyan nyo ako ng sampung dosena pleaseee!

Anne of Ace Hardware (Robinsons Galleria) was the one who told me about door closer. She’s very helpful din about door locks and dead bolts. We need a few dead bolts kase for our house and she explained in details which lock is best for our house.

These kind of locks are used for gates pala.. parang ganito ang lock ng bahay ng lola ko nung araw?!? No wonder hirap na hirap ako isara noon ang pinto sa bahay ng lola ko LOL

These are the locks that we need:

Eh dalawang klase pala ito..

Dead Bolt Single Cylinder and Dead Bolt Double Cylinder

Sabi ni ate ____ mainamn ilagay ang Dead Bolt Double Cylinder if the door is near any window. The double cylinder kase needs a key to be opened in both sides. The single cylinder only needs key when you open it from outside. These dead bolts were less than 1000 PhP each.

Yale’s locks and dead bolts are our only choice talaga..parang kase when it comes to locks, it should be Yale. It’s one of oldest name in the lock industry di ba? Sabi din ni atey from Ace Hardware, Yale locks are hard to pick and can’t be sawed because of the materials that it’s made. And if you’re planning to get Yale locks and dead bolts for all your doors, you can request for the one key. One key to rule them all.. One key to unlock them all. It’s a nice option? Pero scary pag nakuha ng iba! But I like the idea of one key. What do you think?

Sa mga new home owners, what kind of security measures you apply on your doors?

Bed Inspirations From OUR HOME To Our Home

When Uratex posted this photo for their Sleep Redefined event at SM Megamall, I knew right away I had to check out the display:

This is the kind of bed that I want for our home! Decided na yan that we’re going to buy Uratex mattress, what we’re planning na lang is the bed frame. I want a bed na may hotel feel eh. And this bed frame looks like it can give the hotel feel I am looking for.

The exhibit was located at Atrium, and oh may gulay, I saw another bed frame that I like! Take a look:

The bed frames are all affordable, less than 30K PhP for a queen sized bed. As for the mattress, they recommend at least 11 inches thick which was around 20K- 30K PhP.

I fell in love with this one, kase it has drawers and a removable side table! And from all the 3 beds displayed, eto daw pinaka OK because it is locally made.

Close up photo of the headboard… I am still deciding though if I want this or leather.

The staff from the exhibit told me that these mala hotel bed frames are available at Our Home. It is located beside Toy Kingdom (strategic placing Megamall ha!). So before my sundo pick me up, I hurried at Our Home and check their bed collections.

This is nice too! Kaya lang I am concerned with all the dust the headboard will collect. If this has been leather, mas OK sana. What I like about this set is the bedding! Although all white ang gusto kong i peg for our bedroom, I can’t help but like the small hint of colors on this bedding set.

And I discovered that there is bedding line that’s called Hotel Living! I am going to check their collections one of these days, sana naman hindi mala 5 star hotel ang presyo.

Medyo nakakaloka pala to look around on this area of Megamall.. lalo if you’re a new homeowner. Kung pwede ko lang iuwi lahat, specially this L shaped sala set and all the tropical throw pillows on it:

We’re still not on the buying process pa naman, pero it’s better to take a look na at home essentials shops di ba? Do you have any store suggestion that I can go? But please, not Crate and Barrel! LOL
