Baby Swimming: How to Teach My Baby?

Every parent would agree that they want the best for their kids. The parents should always keep their children safe. One of the most well- known cause of babies' and toddlers' death in The US and other countries is "drowning." When you own a pool, it would be the best for your toddler to be attended at all times. Busy parents have some problems with looking after their children; however, there's something you could do to prevent your child from drowning in the pool. 


I believe, many of you heard about "Swimming Lessons for Babies." or "Survival Swimming" When my baby turned 6 months old, I decided to take him to a Swimming school, but the rate of the sessions are quite expensive for me. I do swim a little well  as and my husband been to a swimming school before. So, I changed my mind; my husband and I now teach our baby the water survival skills.

In the Philippines, majority of Filipinos could swim well, for there are many beaches and lakes, even public swimming pools here, so I'm confident enough to teach my child. 

Some parents believe in old notions like, "water might hurt your eardrums." Keep in mind, that water wouldn't hurt your baby's eardrums, unless his ears aren't clean enough to block the water that's coming out. 
Babies are born strong, and versatile. They have fast and strong reflexes that would allow them to adapt quickly in any environment in no time. 

What I did:
My baby has loved the water ever since, he takes a bath everyday, we go swimming with the family if necessary, so taking him to the swimming pool is never a problem for him. I kept on researching for the methods to use for his swimming lessons with me. Gladly, I found this very helpful free website ( http://www.uswim.com/ ) that really made my work a lot easier. They allow people to download their materials freely and give clear instructions. I would love to share this to all the parents out there. Now, my baby enjoys the water freely. And before the summer ends, I hope he would be able to turn his back and float alone in the water. 

Review: HERB DAY 365 Cleansing Foam (The Face Shop)

My cousin visited South Korea and she brought home HERB DAY 365 Cleansing Foam from The Face Shop. It comes with different scents. My favorite is "Peach". After almost a month of usage, I saw the result and decided to write a positive review about this product. 

1. It cleanses my face thoroughly. 
2. I feel that my face was a bit stretched after using this product. 
3. My pores are smaller. 
4. I had a small wart due to pregnancy that had been on my face for a year, but when I use this product, it's gone.
5. My breakouts get minimal and my pimples are drying. 
6. My skin isn't oily for long hours regardless of summer. 

I use  HERB DAY 365 Cleansing Foam every morning and before bed time. I take suitable amount on my palm and massage on my face. I rinse my face thoroughly and let my face dry  naturally. I would also recommend this facial foam to everyone for I've proven myself how great this product is. The best facial wash I've ever used.

Review: MISSHA M Signature Real Complete BB Cream

I received a present from my South Korean Student on April 25th 2013. When I opened the parcel, it's  MISSHA M Signature Real Complete BB Cream. In the Philippines, there are many Cosmetic Companies that are releasing BB Creams; however, I don't think they suit my skin type well. So, I decided to use MISSHA for 2 weeks and write a review about it. 


PRICE: $25.00 (store price in Korea)

My Skin Type: I have a normal type of skin, but my skin changes depending on the season, when it's summer, well it's oily. And on Rainy days, it's dry. 

My Skin Color: I'm not very dark, but not white as well. MISSHA M Signature Real Complete BB Cream has different shades for all skin colors, mine is No. 21 Light Pink Beige. 

After cleansing my face, I applied toner and moisturizer. After 15 minutes, I applied the BB Cream. I normally have breakouts and it's been my problem since 15 years old, that's why I'm very careful of using and choosing cosmetics or other skin products.

Positive 

• It looks natural after you apply it. 
• It covers the dark spots just like a concealer. 
• It's good for any types of skin. 
• I noticed my pimples getting dryer after using this product.
• It doesn't feel heavy; much lighter than a loose powder.
• Nice packaging
• It doesn't only covers your dark spots, but also protects my face from the sun.
• Non-itchy

Negative

•  If it's summer, you should apply twice if necessary, it enters your skin, so when you sweat, your face won't look fresh anymore. 
• The color changes after a few hours, depending on your skin type. I read others' reviews stating that when they put this BB Cream, after 7 hours, it's color change to grayish. (Luckily it doesn't happen to me.) 

If you have anymore questions regarding this product feel free to comment.
