What shall I wear Today aka Dressing For Fun / Having fun with clothes?!!!


I agree with these tips as seen on the msn website!




Saving your nicest clothes and jewellery only for special occasions
Maybe you think it’s too fancy for every day. Or it was so expensive that you feel like it should be reserved only for a big night out. But that’s a very old-fashioned approach to fashion. Dresses, embellished tops, fabulous high heels and great jewellery can—and should—be worked into your everyday wardrobe. You don’t need to look as if you’re on your way to a cocktail party, however. Pair the dressy piece with something more casual (the embellished top with jeans, the dress with boots) for a modern daytime mix. “Fashion is supposed to be fun!” says Shayne. “And there’s nothing fun about having great clothes in your closet that you rarely wear.

Symptoms and causes of Miscarriage


It's often not clear why a miscarriage occurs, but in many cases it is believed that a fetus is aborted because it is not developing normally. This is thought to be a chance event and is usually not due to a defect in either parent. Several factors can contribute to abnormal fetal development, including:


abnormalities in the father's sperm or in the mother's egg
disease in the mother, such as rubella (German measles), severe heart or kidney disease, diabetes, or thyroid disease
abnormalities in the uterus
the mother's use of certain drugs
the mother's exposure to toxic substances or certain environmental pollutants(That's interesting, if not making me a little paranoid and obsessive as they're ie toxins everywhere from the air that you breath to the water you drink).

Although women often worry that severe emotional trauma or stress or simply falling can cause a miscarriage, this is rarely--if ever--the case. That's true for automobile accidents, too.

The symptoms of a miscarriage are vaginal bleeding (from a few drops to a heavy flow) and uterine cramps (either dull and constant or sharp and intermittent) in the lower abdomen or back. The bleeding can start suddenly or follow a brownish discharge. A solid clot of material or tissue may pass from the vagina. If possible, this should be saved for the doctor, who may be able to examine it and confirm that a miscarriage has occurred. A miscarriage can either be complete, when the uterus expels all the tissue, or incomplete, when some tissue remains inside the uterus.

Giving Credit Where It's due!


I was discussing with a friend recently on how the NHS is highly depended on overseas nurses and how this ailing and much needed under-resourced service would be on it's knees without them. Little did I know we would both soon be under their highly-professional care!

I found myself gushing out vast / copious amounts of blood(clot included) combined this with acute lower abdominal pain. I was completely whacked! These lovely caring and compassionate health care professionals do not bat an eyelid and really deserve recognition for their selfless dedicated vocation(I miscarried at 11 weeks).

Namaste!

Help! What's going on down there???


As a female in her late thirties(long-term forever broody one:)I recently experienced some unsettling pelvic pain(Lower abdominal)and vaginal bleeding after 11 weeks free of menstrual bleeding(never ever missed one for 2.5 decades prior to this). Can anyone enlighten me?! I'm not currently registered with a medical doctor.

Thanks in advance:)

Namaste:)

If you ever........


........find yourself in South East Asia ie Thailand and the like do get adventurous and try the extraordinarily yummy and delectable freeze-dried mangosteen(your taste buds are in seriously for a treat here:). Unlike the typical range of dried fruit available on the Western marketplace today this has a lovely subtle sweetness(I generally find dried fruit far too concentrated for my palate and naturally prefer water-based fresh fruit:) that is crispy on the outside and literately melts in the mouth! The best thing to come out of a packet ever and a taste sensation not to be missed for sure! It has won numerous export awards and the Thai PM's award too. Yes, I'm lovin' Fruit king's Mangostein!!!

It comes in individual 30g vacuum packets so treat your spouse, kids and grand kids today:)

In the UK I've noticed funkyraw.com and fresh network uk stock them, but do a google search as I'm sure some wonderful *Australasian importers in the know will stock this quite delightful queen of fruit.

* Africa / Americas or anywhere

That's it folks just doing my bit for supporting good products businesses wherever they are!

Namaste:)

I'm lovin' ................




.........food for free!

Had a lovely brunch of fresh* apples from the apple tree from next door's vacant garden(Bliss from a tree:). It sure beats the supermarket's 'fresh' produce!

* As one has discovered apples purchased from a supermarket are anything but fresh.

Namaste:)
