Hello again!

Hello everyone!

Mike and I have been so quiet over at this blog as we've been battling the flu bug! A heavy battle, I might add!

We can dream of doing many things and we have all these fancy plans but when illness strikes, it makes us realise that we are so very human and fallible after all.

I've tried very hard not to fall sick in the past year and I've been irritating my kids (and probably hubby) by stuffing them with their daily dose of vitamins. My persistence did work in a sense. It managed to ward off the flu for me for about a year and that's really good by my standard if you actully look at my history of succumbing to the flu bug! I could pass off as a walking antibiotic!

Of late though, I've been trying very hard to find healthier and more natural alternatives to the antibiotic monster. I don't necessarily buy what every man in the street is buying. I prefer trial and error. What works for me, may not work for you. Likewise, what works for you, may not work for me. I learnt that from an early stage when combating my pimples as a teenager (I'm one of the few lucky adults who still get pimples, sigh). Expensive 'branded' skin care? Fancy cleaning regimes? Hmmmph! Been there done that. Turns out, a very economical face wash which I can buy off the shelf suits me best! If you're battling pimples yourself and want to know what worked for me, let me know. May not suit you but since it's not expensive, worth a try anyway.

Since the onset of my flu bout (and my subsequent completion of the doctor issued antibiotics), I've stocked up on some bottles of supplements. If they work, I'll let you know! Already, I see an improvement to my complexion and ahem, bowel movements! Aiyah, not a funny thing leh, it's no joke you know. While some people take their daily 'purging' for granted, I don't! It's been an uphill battle for me! Poot!
