I WANT SEVENTH GENERATION PRODUCTS!

Hi folks!


I have learnt so much from all the eco-friendly folks (which comprises largely cloth-diapering mamas, breastfeeding mamas, organic shops owners, vegetarian/vegan friends, etc).


Thus, here's a snapshot of what I have been practising and the eco-friendly products that I have tried using :)


1. eco-friendly laundry ball
Used almost daily. Love it!!! I give it 5 out of 5 stars rating...will not hesitate to get another one once this is up to its usage lifespan(which is 3 years from now!! what a cost-saving product invention!!)


Check out my previous review and write up on this product here.

2. Cloth Pads
Ever since I accumulated my stash of Cloth pad for daily and menstrual period usage.....I have not bought any disposable just yet. I am happy and got used to using these washable pads.



Check out my previous reviews on the use of cloth pad here.

3. Reusable Bags
My collection of reusable bags have grown so much....

From these few(see pic below) to more than 15 of them regularly used for my shopping trips as well as my gift-wrapping/giving option!


I found more and more companies are using reusable bags to store their pamplets and product giveaway which is a thumbs-up gesture all right! We should emulate them and do away with all the unnecessary packaging and try to pack our gift using lovely reusable bags!


 4. Continuous updating myself with green products, practices, and of course giveaways!

Here are some of them:
a. Green Product: from Seventh Generation


These are some of the products I would love to get and try since I am using the non-organic/green ones currently..It's time to switch!

b. Practices

As mentioned in my previous post here, I would love to plant some herbs in my garden and try on the garbage enzynme.

But so far, I have planted the mint at my balcony but have not started on the garbage enzynme. Hope to learn the proper way to do it.]


c. Giveaways

Yep, haha..am always keeping up with green products and practices thus along the way also like to join and share the green products giveaways.

Here's one which is currently running by Cloth Diaper Malaysia with prizes of from Seventh Generation and Lifestyle Green Solutions. Interested? Check out yourself at Cloth Diaper Malaysia!

Cheers to a Greener Lifestyle and Safer Environment!

What I learnt from the HFMD battles?

Hi folks!
My kids were down with Hand Food Mouth Disease(HFMD) again in mid-September 2010. They have had it in year 2009. So this is the second time they had to battle with HFMD.
Obviously I am devastated that they caught it again. But I also learnt a lot from it.
I always believe that knowing the disease well is good so that we can be more well-prepared; physically and mentally to win the battle.
After the first HFMD battle in year 2009, when they caught it the second time, I am more cautious and observant on the symptoms.
When the first doctor reported that it is not HFMD, I am not convince. I went to see another paediatrician to double-confirm. As HFMD is contagious, so I want to make sure whether they have caught it so that I can start quarantine them at home and not spreading the HFMD to other kids. I always believe the parents play an important role during the incubation period. We should not bring the kids out during this period. Some parents aren't aware that once the symtoms disappear, it can still spread. So it is good to read and ask your doctor.
Obvious symptom to watch out for:
  1. Onset of fever. On the first till second day, they will get fever.
  2. Complains of mouth sore.
  3. Eating slower than usual or refusing solids and milk.
  4. Red dots on palms, feet.
  5. Ulcers on mouth and tongue.

Below are some of the important points I learnt and did during the HFMD battle:
  1. Always emphasize the importance of hygience to the children (start from young). No finger-biting and always wash hand before they touch their food.
  2. Parents have to stay clean and healthy too. Frequent hand-washing, keeping ourselves healthy is very important. When I was caring for my HFMD-stricken kids, I make sure I wash my hands frequently,I eat proper meals, drink enough water and took my vitamin C.D
  3. Clean and wash the bed linen, towel, hankerchief, cups that they uses. I replace their toothbrush after they recovered from it.
  4. I made barley water, cook soup daily to replenish their fluid since they cannot take solid and most would even avoid drinking milk for the first 3 days.
  5. I bought lots of yakult and allow them to take ice-cream if that is the only things they are able to swallow in. 
 For more details on HFMD, you can always google and check out the articles online. One which I referred to is:http://www.sarawak.health.gov.my/hfmd.htm
Stay alert, healthy and strong folks!
Cheers!
