Carpet Cleaning 101

One of the reason why I don’t have a carpet or rug is the fact that I did not know how to clean it. I know area rugs and carpets are different from each other. Carpets are floor to wall kind of covering while area rugs are rugs placed on a specific area, like a rug at the dinning place or at the living room. And with that, cleaning can also be different for both. Let’s try to focus on carpet cleaning. This can mean removal of dirt, stains, sands, hair and any other things that can damage your carpet.

The common misconception with regards to carpet care is walking barefoot can damage the carpet due to oil from the body. It has not been proven, so you can go barefooted in your carpet. When it comes to cleaning vacuum is the most common. This is usually done to remove dry dirt such as sand, hair and dust. Stain removal can also be done at home, if the stains is not that bad, but for heavily damaged carpet, you might want to call a professional for cleaning it.

Professional carpet cleaners knows about the difference of using hot water cleaning and dry cleaning. They will guide you with the technique that your carpet needs and also will assist you in choosing what is the best treatment for your carpet.

How To Boost Your Brain Power

Just like your other muscles you’ve got to look after your brain if you want to keep it whirring along in tip top condition. Here are three things you can do to help keep your grey matter feeling great.

Diet

For a complete brain-friendly meal, team low GI carbs like brown pasta, which steadily release glucose to improve concentration, with oily fish such as trout, mackerel or sardines. The omega-3 found in these foods can’t be made by the body but has been shown to stave off Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss, besides caring for your joints. If you can’t face fish, flaxseeds are an excellent alternative and may even lower cholesterol.

Finish off your brain-boosting dinner with lots of blueberries. Evidence suggests that these antioxidant-rich beauties may improve short term memory loss. For a doubly healthy hit mix them with blackcurrants, which are a great source of vitamin C. That humble fruit salad just became a mind-expanding must-try!

Exercise

Not just good for your blood pressure and strength, exercise also does wonders for your brain. We’ve all experienced that moment of walking into a room and forgetting what we’re looking for, or hunting furiously for our glasses just to find them on our head. This is more a source of annoyance than a cause for concern, but if you’re fed up with forgetting it might be time to head to the gym.

Studies have shown that high-intensity exercise can improve cognitive function in adults, including your ability to recall names and details. To make sure you’re helping your brain and getting your heart pumping, head down to your local gym. No matter your ability or fitness level, the vast range of classes now available means you’ll find one to suit. If you’re feeling nervous, exercising with others can help with motivation and be a brilliant way to socialise.

Activities

Unlike your feet, your brain doesn’t stop growing when you hit a certain age, provided you keep it active. If you always stick to familiar routines, you aren’t giving your brain the stimulation it needs to continue forming new connections. Try doing new things every day and you’ll find that you retain more information, improve your co-ordination and feel more creative. Sign up to a language, arts or craft class, or teach yourself to use the latest tech – shop laptops from K&Co and get plugged in. There are plenty of games on the internet which will keep your brain active. Having fun is really important – the more interested and engaged you are in the activity, the more likely you’ll be to continue doing it. Not only are you having a good time, but your brain will thank you for it!

Hello Second Sem!

OK, not second semester actually.. but just the continuation of our school year.. but hey, I had a week of waking up late and just doing nothing.. ayayay! Felt like a college student again today.. getting ready for another round of school days hahaha

So yesterday was a busy one for me.. preparing for my boys’ stuff.. school bags, uniform and my bento tools! Yes, I have been doing bento, but not that wow! kind of bento, more like, practical bento. Sa totoo lang, mahirap siya i maintain but seeing my kids happy and knowing that they enjoy their food better, it keeps me going. But I have a lot of bento tools, specially food picks (dami naman kase ng anak ko no haha) and rice molds.. best bento tool ever, specially if you’re in a hurry. And a few addition to my bento tools comes straight from the land of Bento, Japan! (thank you my dear marce for the pasalubong!)

Sneak peek on my bento tools:

I asked them to check on their bags and see for themselves what is missing on their school stuff. Start them young.. habang maaga pa eh turuan na maging responsable sa mga gamit nila 🙂

As for their uniforms, my mom was here last week.. and yes, inayos na nya lahat un before she went back to our province.. sarap ng may nanay no?

Another thing I prepared for is this:

A few weeks ago (one week before the exam) two of my boys got sick.. fever galore! ang daming kong pagod nun, not to mention I was super praning kase nga baka dengue. For my 3rd boy, we had to bring him to the hospital twice para lang maka siguro na hindi dengue iyong lagnat. Super praning talaga ako sa dengue since we lost a love one from dengue (more kwento on that)..

That’s why I am very thankful that I was chosen to be one of the mommy bloggers of Green Cross Insect Repellent Lotion. I was offered to try this new product, just in time when I am scouting for an insect repellent. I think this will lessen my paranoia to dengue. Now, as the school starts again, my kids are protected. Applying an insect repellent lotion is now included in our morning routine.
