Keep safe while celebrating the holidays

To welcome the New Year with a complete set of hands and intact limbs is a nice present to yourself and your loved ones. This holds true for people who couldn’t help but light fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate the New Year.

Recently the Department of Health issued an advisory reminding the public against the dangers of lighting fireworks and firecrackers. Under the firework-injury reduction campaign dubbed “Aksyon: Paputok Injury Reduction” or APIR (Give me five), the DOH reiterates suggestions to keep safe while celebrating the holidays.

1) Fireworks cause injuries and endanger health (Mapanganib ang paggamit ng paputok)
2) Children should not use any fireworks (Lahat ng paputok ay bawal sa bata)
3) Keep safe and away from exploding fireworks (Umiwas sa mga taong nagpapaputok)
4) Never pick used fireworks (Huwag mamulot ng mga di sumabog na paputok)
5) Seek immediate medical treatment for all firework injuries (Magpagamot kaagad kapag naputukan)

Everyone deserves to be happy and safe so don’t do anything foolish to endanger the lives of other people and yours as well. Keep safe and welcome 2012 with positive thoughts.

Covered

Our children’s health and safety is probably the top priority of us, mothers. Whatever they do, we want them to be always safe and unharmed. This is the main reason we spend time and effort in baby-proofing our homes. We call the electrician to make sure all switchplate covers are intact and not lose because crawling babies love to explore! We install mats almost everywhere to make sure they will not hit their head on the hard floor. And sometimes, we ditch our own comfort just to ensure safety. I know several families who have stopped using bed frames to avoid their children from falling!

Yes, moms and dads alike will surely do everything to make sure their kids are covered.

Be Stress-free

Many factors in our daily life contribute to our stress level. Stress can make or break your day. When we are stress-free, time seems so quick, we laugh often and we enjoy everything that we do and it shows in us. When we are stressed-out, all the negativity also shows in us and in all the things that we do.

And did you know that by being a member of a roadside assistance club, you are making yourself stress-free on the road? Whatever happens, just call the club and they will come to you wherever you are and whatever problem you may have. Isn’t that a great way to keep yourself healthy and sane?

Healthy Accessories

I am not sure when this became a fad, but I know for sure that some of these beliefs dates back to the olden times and I guess you might have heard of stones and crystals that were believed to promote well-being and good health that some people wouldn’t mind spending a big chunk of money just to buy some and use them. Most of these stones and crystals were used on accessories like stainless steel watches, bracelets and bangles. Furthermore, another brand of healthy accessories come in the form of sleek and modern baller bands, that were believed to improve a person’s flexibility and over-all well-being once worn.
