As I was trying out my newly bought Linksys router at home, I found a site where you can find tricks on how to lose weight. One tip I found useful was using your ipod while going to the gym. Time goes faster when you’re listening to your fave music especially when you’re using equipments like threadmills.
Another tip I really liked was when in shopping, try to walk a few floors of the mall. It may mean more window shopping time and it may also serve as a form of exercise. Other interesting tips were using brown sugar instead of white, going vegetarian (that would be hard for me) and drink lots and lots of water. I don’t know about you, but maybe I’ll try the window shopping/exercise technique tomorrow.

Though they keep your baby staying dry and comfortable did you know that cloth diapers are safer to use than disposable diapers.
Most babies using disposable diapers get diaper rashes. Diaper rashes are due to repeated urination and lack of air circulation. Even the dyes used for disposable diapers contain very hazardous chemicals that give permanent damage to the baby’s liver or nervous system. Studies also show that gases that are given off by used disposable diapers can cause asthma and other throat irritations.
