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.
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.
Wait for my next Review about THE FACE SHOP Herb Day 365 Cleansing Foam
When I was young, I'd thought of becoming a detective. I probably watched too much movies. Then, in high school, I told myself that I want to be a great film director. I thought it was the greatest achievement that I might get in the future. Still, it didn't happen. Although my major professors said that I have a lot of potential to be one.
To my surprise, I became an On-line Teacher for Koreans. In 4 years of teaching, I'm very glad to know this certain student (that I won't mention the name.)
One day, I asked her the most common question. "What do you want to be in the future?" Her answer impressed me.
"I want to be a teacher." she said, I replied, "Why?"
"Because, I want to change Korean's perspective about education and about life."
I normally ask this question and get the same answer. But not the same reason.
She said, "Most Koreans believe that entering a very good school is the way to succeed in life. If I become a teacher, I would encourage my students to work harder, and not to study harder. Having a good support system, love, and peace of mind would lead them to positivity. It would give them confidence to achieve their dreams, regardless of the school they choose to study. I don't believe that schools is they key to a bright future, but you yourself alone would decide where you want to go and what you want to achieve. Teachers and parents always tell us, that if we don't graduate from a very good university, we won't succeed in life. I know that I have to study hard and get into a very good school to be able to achieve my dream, but once I've done it, I will do my best to share and inspire students to become a better person than to be a good student alone. I want to be a teacher not because I want to teach; it's because I want to change people's lives. I want them to believe that schools don't decide for their future."
After the discussion, I found myself thinking deeply, how shallow I am as a person.
What about you? Have you planned your future already?
