Fun Online Games For The Fam!

 


As a mother, I choose my kids to play indoor and sometimes online games because of the pandemic. Of course, I want them to be safe. But, honestly, staying at home and keeping the kids entertained is a very challenging job. Sometimes I am actually running out of options. Before you say what's on your mind, yes they have screen time. There's a limit when using gadgets; we do pretend to play too. Sometimes we listened to stories for our nighttime bonding before going to bed, and as for me, I do love playing games online. The other day, my friends and I were chatting in our group chat about how to find or identify what games pay real money so we can have fun in our spare time and make money at the same time. Because, as you know, we cannot waste time. Everyone is actually suggesting sites to visit and try.

The above photo is of my youngest son playing games from www.culinaryschools.org which I just discovered as a website for kids and also for the whole family. It teaches kids the importance of eating healthy foods while playing. A lot of games to choose from and even I enjoyed playing games. My youngest loves to play the SpongeBob SquarePants Krabby Patty Crisis because he loves SpongeBob SquarePants and he really enjoyed playing these games. 



When I have my me-time moment I also play games, yes for my mind to relax and enjoy too! I personally love to play the  Find Pair and Guess the Food games because it feels like my mind is in refresh mode. This is also good for the kids, the Find Pair help children develop pattern recognition skills. Surely my kids will be interested in these games too! 




What I love about kids' games at Culinary Schools Org is that it's ad-free even games are free to play, sites are not bombarded with ads and not necessarily pop-ups link ads that kids don't like when they are playing. Instructions to play are easy, and there are many classic games that kids and parents will enjoy. It's an educational game actually and I hope they release an app that all the games can be downloaded in one app. 

And if you are looking for online games for your kids I am recommending this site. Ending this post because I am currently playing now haha! let me know if you tried too and tell me your favorites!

The skin protects your body from heat, dirt, germs, and many other things. Hence, it would help if you kept it as healthy as possible. Though you may take care of your skin, there is always a chance of developing a skin disease. As per recent data, the population of Stamford, CT, is around 129,638. Out of this, the women population in Stamford, CT, is around 50.7%. Though men experience the worst outbreaks of Acne, it has been observed that more women suffer from acne breakouts. Skin ailments can affect anyone and must be addressed timely to ensure that the problem doesn’t worsen.

If you ever develop a skin ailment, you need to consider visiting a dermatologist Stamford CT. Here is the list of five skin ailments that require a dermatologist.


Acne
Many people waste their time and money on self-treatments or the hope of treating acne problems with over-counter topical medications. However, a dermatologist is the best to consult when facing an acne problem. They are well-versed with the science of dermatology and will be able to prescribe the right treatment and medication for you.

If left untreated, they spread to other facial areas and progress into whiteheads, blackheads and leave black spots on your skin. Starting the treatment early helps prevent Acne from spreading, and you don't need strong medicine to clear them.


Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a skin ailment where skin cells multiply and form scales and dry, itchy patches. Medical experts mention psoriasis is mainly related to problems with your immune system. If you are battling an infection or a disease, your immune system gets hyper-activated and starts attacking your skin cells.

As per recent data, around 20.5% of the Stamford CT population is under 18 years. Medical experts mention most people who develop psoriasis are aged between 15 and 35. However, there is no scientific evidence psoriasis is related to a certain age. Stress and obesity are two factors that can lead to psoriasis flares. A dermatologist can give you the right diagnosis if you are experiencing outbreaks on your skin and prescribe the best treatment.

Eczema
Eczema refers to a skin condition where the person suffering from it experiences itchiness, swelling, inflammation, and cracked skin. According to a recent health survey, around 31.6 million people in the United States suffer from Eczema.

If you notice symptoms like rashes that occur all over the body or rashes that are constantly itchy, you need to consider visiting a dermatologist immediately.

Over-the-counter medications are not effective in treating Eczema. The rashes may vanish for some time after applying topical counter creams, but they are bound to reappear after a few days. A dermatologist will suggest a treatment based on the state of your health, symptoms, and age.

Sun-Damage
As per recent climate data, Connecticut has around 194 sunny days per year. The UV index in Connecticut is between 0 to 2, which is considered low or moderate. However, the predicted ozone layer thickness, season, time of the day, and latitude also play an important role in the sun’s intensity.

Sun damage is more significant if you expose your body to the sun for long hours. If you notice any symptoms of sunburn or blisters on your skin, visit a dermatologist at the earliest to get the proper treatment.

Skin Cancer
Skin Cancer refers to the abnormal growth of skin cells. It generally develops on skin exposed to skin. Doctors mention that skin cancer is completely curable, provided it is detected early. Consult a dermatologist in Stamford, CT, for treatment if you notice symptoms like a large brownish spot with darker speckles or moles that bleed or change color or size.

To sum up, these are five skin ailments that should not be ignored, and you should consult the best dermatologist in the town and get treatment.

Is your home clean and safe this holiday season?

 


Create a Pine-tastic, worry-free Christmas at home with Pine-Sol Original


Last year, the pandemic stole our Christmas as if the COVID-19 virus was the Grinch. But this year, due to people’s continued compliance with safety protocols, as well as the ongoing rollout of the nationwide vaccination program, quarantine restrictions have now been less stringent, especially since health authorities record a lower number of COVID-19 cases every day.

While everything is, in a way, now slowly going back to normal, with the holiday season just around the corner, welcoming Christmas guests is inevitable. And yes, it does not mean that we need to let our guards down since the sickness-causing virus still lurks around.

Aside from continuously following health protocols, what more can you do to ensure that your home remains free from the harmful COVID-19? Here are some tips as listed by Pine-Sol, a trusted cleaner for the home since 1929, to keep your home safe and clean so you can have a merry, worry-free, and Pine-tastic Christmas this season.

Start to declutter
Admit it. There’s nothing that feels homier whenever you see your house organized—no dirty dishes in the kitchen, no traces of shoe dirt on your walkway, no dirty laundry on the floor, and no random food wrappers sitting under the sofa.

So, unleash your inner Marie Kondo, and start tidying your space as the first step to make your home clean. Also, be sure to throw away the garbage. Remember, less mess, less stress.

Wipe down your home
Regularly cleaning your home after welcoming guests reduces the risk of spreading the virus. So, with a mixture of water and Pine-Sol Original, the No.1 pine-scented dilutable cleaner, always remember to clean the places your guests' visit at your home.

As it has no rinsing requirement except for rubber or asphalt tile, you can just wipe down your entryway, floors, tables, kitchen countertops, bathrooms, doorknobs, windows, and other high-touch surfaces. And while it powerfully cleans your home and is safe on surfaces, it also deodorizes terrible odors and gives you a fresh and longer-lasting pine fragrance to enjoy this Christmas season.

Always disinfect
Isn’t cleaning the same as disinfecting? For the books, cleaning uses a mixture of water and soap for surface dirt and impurities, while disinfecting uses products to kill germs and viruses.

We don’t want our home to be the mutation ground of bacteria and viruses that cause infectious diseases, like the COVID-19 virus. That is why it is also necessary to disinfect your spaces thoroughly by using Pine-Sol Original to kill viruses on high-touch or exposed surfaces.

With the power to kill 99.9% of germs, including the COVID-19 virus, pour a concentrated portion of Pine-Sol Original in a sponge or cloth and wipe it on a wet surface. To effectively disinfect and help control the spread of the coronavirus, let it remain for 10 minutes on hard and nonporous surfaces, such as finished hardwood, cement, ceramic tiles, glass, plastic, carpet, linoleum, and granite, then wash it off.

“This holiday season, we at Clorox want to make sure that everyone is safe from the COVID-19 virus. Even if the country is slowly going back to normal, we must protect our loved ones from sickness. That’s why it’s important always to keep our home safe and clean so everyone can have a merry and worry-free Christmas,” said Monique Gonzalez, Marketing Manager for Clorox Southeast Asia.

Is your home really safe for you and your family?


Clorox campaigns for better home hygiene amidst a rise in local transmission


As the country’s major cities prepare to ease alert levels, people are expected to go out and converge more as opposed to the last few months, making everyone forget that the pandemic is very much around and won’t go away anytime soon.

The Philippines' Covid-19 numbers have improved in the Metro Manila region and the transmission of the disease has slowed. According to OCTA Research, the latest reproduction number for the region, which refers to the number of persons an infected person can transfer the virus to, was at 0.99, down from 1.03.

While the Health Department indicated a decline in the number of Covid-19 cases as evidenced by the decreasing hospital admissions, it still urges the public to remain vigilant as a surge can still happen.

“Even though infection cases are on the downtrend, we enjoin the public to be vigilant since there is still the presence of the highly transmissible Delta variant. While regular handwashing and sanitizing are both important in preventing the spreading of the virus, it keeping the surfaces we touch disinfected is just as important,” said Monique Gonzales, senior brand manager for Clorox Southeast Asia. “However, what we sometimes don’t realize is that we can be the ones who bring this virus into our homes so it is important to always disinfect the items in our homes we come in contact with.”


However, there are steps you can take at home to ensure the safety of your family.

Clorox Philippines, one of the country’s leading cleaning and disinfecting products providers and makers of Clorox Expert Wipes shares some home safety tips to help keep you and your family safe and your home Covid-free.


Wipe down surfaces often
We touch a lot of surfaces when we go out picking up germs along the way. We bring these pathogens into our homes. Taking the time to wipe down your door handle, the groceries you bring home and any surface you touch will keep it germ-free and your family safe. Keeping a pack of Clorox Expert Wipes handy at all times will ensure that you and your family are always safe and protected.


Clean all your carry-ons
Your carry-ons such as your handbags, laptops, and mobile phones are perfect places for germs and microbes to settle onto. When arriving home, give your bags, phone, keys, jewelry and laptops a good wipe down. Preferably, use a disinfectant wipe to make sure that your personal items are safe.


Change your clothes immediately
The clothes you wear are magnets for viruses and germs. Every time you sit at a restaurant, go to the grocery or go to the office, your clothes can pick up these germs and you in turn, can bring in these unwanted guests into your home. To avoid this, make sure that you put away all the clothes you wore in a clothes hamper. If you can soak it immediately in a mixture of bleach and water to kill the germs.


Take a bath as soon as you get home
Aside from your clothes, you are also a germ magnet. Germs and other pathogens can land on your skin and hair and you can, in turn, get these unwanted visitors all over your sofa, dining table, and bed. So, when arriving home from work or an errand, make sure you take a bath right away. That way, you can give your family all the affection they deserve without any worries.

“We at Clorox are one with the government in ensuring that Filipinos stay safe in the midst of this pandemic. We enjoin everyone to keep promoting a hygienic and safer by regularly cleaning and disinfecting our surroundings,” Paulo Lao, Sales and Marketing Director for Clorox Southeast Asia.


Following these simple tips can help us not only stay safe and healthy but help us better cope with the challenges posed by the pandemic.

Sometimes our journey is far from what we are expected but hey at least we are trying on the right path and it's not late for everything no matter the age you are now just like me. What made me decide was my kids are growing fast and I felt any moment from now they'll leave the house and maybe this is the right time for me. To think back on what I want in life, my dreams.


Aside from being a student-mom, I do the usual things that I love to do like shopping online, and I found this perfect store that matches my mood hbcu varsity jackets lot of varsity jacket collections to choose. In every LegacyHistoryPride™ sale, a portion of the proceeds specifically benefits the College or University through their Licensing Agreements.


Everything changes, our plans changed in every situation but it is always for the good. Whatever your life may be right now, there's always a sun that will shine any moment. So, hold on and keep on dreaming.
