Halloween is Coming

Halloween is around the corner and kids are excited to go trick and treating! I am sure parents are thinking of costumes by now or have already readied what their kids will wear.

A friend once joked she does not need eye makeup anymore because she has dark circles under her eyes.

With the recent sad plight of this country, I really hope the children in the affected areas will get to enjoy Halloween. If not, I hope Christmas is something to look forward to.

Hand Washing

The first ever Global Handwashing Day was celebrated a few days ago, last October 15.

Why is it important to do hand washing?

Hand washing using a good antibacterial soap helps remove the dirt from our hands. This is one of the basic sanitation rules.

Hand washing helps prevent illnesses like diarrhea and other diseases that can transfer from the hand to the mouth.

This habit is not just for children but for adults as well.

As an aside, hand dryers are good ways to go with the handwashing to completely dry the hands before handling anything.

This is what I always tell the kids when we are out: “keep your hands to yourself, do not touch anything (door knobs, elevator floor numbers and escalator hand rails) that you don’t have too because you never know who else touched those things.”

And yes, always bring hand sanitizer or alcohol, just in case.

Beauty Regimens

I asked this question before in my other blog: “What facial or beauty regimens are done before going to bed?

Most replied with the basic things to do before sleeping: washing the face with just soap.

There those who answered more, like using toners and moisturizers to keep the facial skin soft and supple.

I know, there are basic steps one needs to do on daily basis to be able to avoid acne treatments in the long run. Those who opt to get these services are not just women but men too. Surprising, isn’t it? Not so because there are men, even years ago, who have their nails done in a barber shop and clear nail polish on their fingernails but this is another story.

Times have changed. With so much pollution and dirty air, people are more conscious now of taking care of their skin. That does not just limit to the women but to the men as well.

As a matter of fact, some men are called “metrosexual” now, for they do not shy away from beauty regimens that mostly were for women only years ago like having facial treatments, hair removal, body sculpting and even liposuction (this of course is not just for the women). They also are brand-conscious and love to shop for clothes and things that will make them appear more appealing.

So now I ask this question again? What are your beauty regimens?
