Walgreens4Last year I ventured into a weight loss journey and successfully lost 40 lbs over the spring and summer by making healthy choices! As winter came along, I found myself sluggish, not working out as much, and enjoying holiday goodies and winter comfort foods a little too much. By the time warm weather hit this year, I stepped on the scale and discovered I had gained quite a bit of the weight back. To say this was disheartening was an understatement.

Though I didn’t let it get me down for too long… Aside from my general health, there is an important reason of why I want to get in shape and boost my energy. That reason is this little guy below! This momma needs to be able to keep up with him and his energy!

One Test Kit: Many Results

By 5 Comments

A DNA test kit is such a simple thing, containing only simple swabs and stamped envelopes, and yet its contents have so many different uses. Our genetic code is specific to us, storing within it huge masses of information about our growth, appearance, health, ancestry, and so much more. Both our past and our future are wrapped up in that familiar double helix shape, ready to be investigated. By examining this biological code, the most accurate results for each test can be returned. Ordering a kit for yourself can be easy and affordable, no matter what you need it for. By choosing the right company, you will find a helpful and experienced resource of knowledge about the inner workings of your life’s code.ID-100165150

Create A Genetic Profile

If someone is simply interested about their genetic profile, and may need it for use in the future, many companies offer exactly that. By sending in DNA for the creation of a profile, they now have a resource that can be stored and used in the future in case of legal reasons or a missing person search. Our unique and unchanging DNA signature is the best form of identification, and having it on hand can save a lot of time and trouble in the future. By saving this profile in an accessible format compatible with police search systems, the company makes it easy to locate and consult, whatever the need might be. In the meantime, the customer is given an interesting inside look to the code that programmed them.

#Ad: Learning to Manage Childhood ADHD with #Lifescript

Growing up I was fully aware that I had issues with concentrating, especially when it came to school work. My attention span was short, and at times my school performances suffered. It was not until I was older was I finally diagnosed with an Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).

Given my own history, I often wonder if this same disorder has been passed onto my son. While he is just barely 2 years old, and he could easily just be an energetic toddler, I couldn’t help but want to start to research disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), which is quite similar to ADD. Research shows that ADHD affects 4%-12% of school-age children. Boys are actually diagnosed three times more often than girls. Worrying that may be down the line my son could suffer the same attention issues, I turned to the Lifescript.com Childhood ADHD Health Center. This amazing resource features everything from tips to articles to quizzes to recipes, all provided by professional health writers, experts and physicians, to assist you in managing your child’s ADHD.

If you are unfamiliar with Lifescript, it is an amazing website that aims to provide insight on healthy living for women. I was thrilled to see that they offered a whole section of the site covering ADHD. Have a medical inquiry? Be sure to visit www.lifescript.com for useful information on not only Childhood ADHD, but other prevalent medical conditions related to health.

Easy Natural Remedies for a Sunburn!

Easy Natural Remedies for a Sunburn!

With summer here, the sun is out in full force! Sure it is a great time to be outside and head to the beach. Keep in mind though, you need to wear sunscreen! Sometimes the sun’s rays get us though, and we find ourselves with a dreadful sunburn. Check out this list of natural remedies for a sunburn that have worked for my family and I over the years.

Natural Remedies for a Sunburn

Aloe Vera – You can easily find pure aloe vera gel at your drugstore, or actually take an aloe vera plant and open it up to find the gel inside. You will actually most “sunburn healing” products out there include aloe vera. This cactus plant gel helps speed up the healing process of the burn while cooling your skin to minimize discomfort. Better yet, it helps keep the skin moisturized too!

Ice – It’s pretty straight forward. Take a bag of ice (or ice pack) and wrap it in a towel (or paper towels) and keep it on the burn to help cool the skin. Just remember to never place the ice directly on your skin! That can actually cause more pain.

Milk – Soak a washcloth in cold milk and then apply to your sunburn. This should create a thin film which actually help reduces the heat and pain you are experiencing.

I received complimentary product(s) to facilitate this review from the sponsoring company along with financial compensation. This is 100% my own honest opinion and no one has influenced me otherwise. This information is not to be construed as medical advice.  Consult a physician before using using any vitamins or supplements.

For the past 2 months I’ve been focusing greatly on improving my health. I find myself often research and browsing for any new formulas, ideas, or products to help me achieve my health goals. One of the products I was super excited to learn about is Krill Oil by Everest Nutrition! Now I regularly take fish oil, but I was happy to learn that Krill Oil to provide 54 more times the antioxidant power than that of regular fish oil. After that fact alone, I was eager to learn more!
