Take Care of Your Sunburn

May 8th, 2012

Did you know you can get a sunburn in as little as 15 minutes of sun exposure? Thinking that you are going for a quick walk down the street is not reason to skip out on applying sunblock to your exposed skin. However, if you didn’t get yourself covered, you need to take the proper steps to treating your sunburn to help reduce the painful and irritating effects. One of the most important things is to increase your water intake. Drink 2 – 3 extra glasses of water each day. Additionally, using an aloe infused moisturizing lotion is good for not only cooling the burn, but for moisturization of the burn skin to help protect the growth of new layers below.

Taking Away the Car

May 8th, 2012

One of the most exciting milestones as a teenager is when we are finally old enough to drive. Most of us are anxious to get the license that allows us to get behind the wheel. On the flip side, one of the difficult parts of getting older is to loose that ability. Many elderly reach a point in which they need to remove themselves from the road in order to keep themselves and others safe. This is a tricky situation for those responsible for removing the car as an option for said senior. Primarily the problem is in preserving the dignity and self-esteem of the parent, as this loss of independence frequently triggers severe depression and loneliness.

What Causes an Ingrown Toenail?

April 26th, 2012

If you haven’t ever experienced the pain associated with an ingrown toenail, consider yourself lucky. It is simply amazing that something as small as a toenail can cause a full grown person to cringe and limp, but not only is the condition painful, sometimes infections set in and can cause even more pain and problems. If you do experience ingrown toenails, you should take a look at your footwear and evaluate to see if your shoes are too tight or tend to crowd the toes as this commonly leads to an ingrown toenail. Additionally, if you are trimming your nails unevenly, as opposed to straight across, you may be promoting the growth into the skin.

Have You Checked Your First Aid Kit?

April 25th, 2012

One of the most overlooked, but useful household items is that of a first aid kit. Unfortunately it falls under the category of you-don’t-know-you-want-it-until-you-need-it so many families don’t stock even the basic supplies. Many stores offer first-aid kits with basic items such as band-aids, disinfectants and wraps. But taking time to put together your own may take longer, but it will likely be more useful to your specific household. If you already have a first-aid kit be sure to check it every three months to replace any expired supplies and replenish used items.
