How to Treat Hay Fever

May 25, 2018 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , , 18 Comments

Hay Fever Sucks! This was the last tweet I sent last night while battling to get some sleep. I was sneezing non stop for minutes, and my throat itched like hell, driving me crazy. Which kept me up for hours. I still can’t remember how I managed to finally sleep off.

Hay Fever is still new to me. I started having the symptoms for the first time 2 summers ago, and it has been hell ever since!  On most spring/summer days, I dread it when it gets really warm because I know I usually have a Hay Fever crisis and it is painfully uncomfortable. I am allergic to the Grass Pollen, which is the same with many other sufferers.

For those who have never suffered from Hay Fever, this annoying disease, medically known as Allergic rhinitis,  is a type of inflammation in the nose which occurs when the immune system overreacts to allergens in the air. Signs and symptoms usually include a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, red, itchy, and watery eyes, and swelling around the eyes.

Now I don’t understand why my immune system is suddenly overreacting to allergens in the air, but that is what is pretty happening and it sucks. I managed to get my GP (Doctor) to send my Hay Fever prescription to my local pharmacy so I could pick up my medication. The over counter Hay Fever medicine does not work for me, so I had to get on a particular prescription drug last year. And I take them every summer  The drugs help but not as much. I still have to deal with the symptoms on some days where the pollen count is at its highest.

Apart from my Hay Fever prescription drug, I also try some home remedies to help keep me sane.

 

How to treat Hay Fever yourself
  1. Put on your sunglasses when you are out and about. This help protects the eyes from pollen.
  2. Apply Petroleum Jelly around your nostrils to trap pollen.
  3. Stay indoors as much as possible.
  4. Take your medicine first thing in the morning.
  5. Change your clothes and take a shower once you get home.

 

The Met Office categorises these Hay Fever phases as:

  1. Tree pollen – late March to mid-May.
  2. Grass pollen – mid-May to July.
  3. Weed pollen – end of June to September

Beautiful Products I Have Tried Lately

April 11, 2018 By in Beauty, Fashion Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 18 Comments

Hello peeps! How are we? I am in New York holidaying with the fam. It is 4am now, and I am wide awake so I thought to do some work while everyone is still snoring. I have been in New York city for some days now and it has been good. I will be writing all about my stay in the Big Apple and my next destination really soon, so look out for my next travel posts.

As a blogger, I am forever trying new products. And I love that about my job. The process of trying out products and telling you all about them gives me joy. Here are some of the beautiful products I have tried lately.

 

LOCKSTONE PRIMA WHITE LILY ROSE GOLD ADJUSTABLE BRACELET HERS £69.99

This beautiful Lockstone Prima White Lily Rose Gold Adjustable bracelet by Vanacci is one of my current favourites. I love the delicate look and the fact that I can capture my fragrance in it. You know how much I love my perfumes, so the fact that I can capture my fragrance in this bracelet makes it even more beautiful.

All I need to do is to spray only a single spray onto the Lockstone™ material. The bracelet is best worn with direct skin contact and will slowly diffuse your fragrance throughout the day. The fragrance will last approximately seven times longer than wearing your fragrance without it.

 

So Eco Face Brush Set £15

I am always on the lookout for great makeup brushes to add to my makeup collection. This So Eco Face Brush Set is a new addition. I like the fact that brushes are Vegan and Vegetarian friendly. The hand cut and trimmed feature is also another plus.

A set contains 4 large hand cut brushes perfect for the application of facial makeup, either liquid or powder. The affordable price tag of £15 is also a plus. 

You can grab this on Amazon, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Fragrance Direct and other stores.

 

Look Good Feel Better Anti-Bacterial Brush Set £35

This Anti-Bacterial Brush Set by Look Good Feel Better is another favourite of mine  I adore the beautiful packaging and the fact that the brand supports women with cancer. It is great to see big brands support great causes.

These makeup brushes are cruelty free and soft touch. A set contains –

  • Protective Pouch
  • Large Multi-Tasking Brush
  • Round Foundation Brush
  • Eye Shading Brush
  • Lip Brush

 

These makeup brushes have a soft touch which makes them great for all skin types. I am loving them. You can grab this brush set from M&S and other stores.

This Radiance Facial Oil by Urban Veda heals blemishes, supports elasticity and restores suppleness. It also helps the skin to retain its natural glow. I have used the Radiance Facial Oil for weeks now and I like it. The compact beautiful packaging with the dropper makes it very easy to use. All I need to do is apply 3-4 drops daily to cleansed and toned skin.

6 Travel Tips for Frequent Travellers

April 8, 2018 By in Travel Tags: , , , , , , 109 Comments

When it comes to travelling, there are so many tips out there that are enough to keep you overwhelmed. Even if you had the opportunity to travel regularly, there are some things that you tend to leave out. This has happened to me on several occasions. However, as I kept travelling I started to get the hang of it. For me, going on holiday is all about relaxation and tranquility and I always make plans to ensure that is what I get. I like the idea of lovely weather, an inviting beach, and a lovely hotel with balcony. To ensure you have an enjoyable holiday, it makes sense to have a good plan.

 

Travel Tips Image

 

In my travels I discovered quite a number of travel tips that have proved to be helpful. And I know they will be useful to you, especially if you’re a frequent traveller. Here are 6 handy travel tips to guide you in your journey.

 

  1. Have an electronic copy of your travel documents

This nifty trick can save you from a lot of trouble. You can never predict what could happen on your trip. Your travel documents might get misplaced or you might forget the documents at home.

Have a PDF format of all your travel documents like your travel itinerary, boarding passes and even a scanned copy of the face page of your passport. You can store all the documents in a flashdrive or on the cloud like on iCloud, Dropbox or Google Drive.

 

  1. Pack some food along with you before you travel

Airlines are decreasing their supply of food. Maybe it’s because they try to cut costs to have more pocket friendly air fares. Sometimes before the air hostess comes to the middle of the aisle the food is almost done.

If you’re a vegetarian or you eat only kosher meals, it may be a bit of a challenge to get that on the airplane. Aside from that sometimes airplane food doesn’t particularly taste the best.

What I do before my travels is to pack something with me just in case I get peckish or the food is not too good. At least I wouldn’t get hungry on the way.

 

  1. Have a packing list

Have you ever had that nagging feeling that you forgot to pack something? It can cause a lot of tension especially when you’re just about to enter the aeroplane and you’re still not sure if you packed everything you need.

To clear all doubts, write a list of things you need to pack for your trip. Make sure you write your packing list at least 2 days before packing. This will give you enough time to figure out if you need to write anything else on your list. It will also prevent you from packing in a rush too.

Let your packing list be the last thing you keep in your bag so as to give you a chance to double-check everything before leaving the house and when you’re travelling back home.

 

  1. Pack a spare outfit in your carry-on bag

When you’re travelling you need to be prepared for any eventuality. One of the common mishaps is your luggage going missing. If your luggage is missing your clothes go along with it too.  Although the airport authorities are able to bring your luggage back it may take some time before that happens. So pack a change of clothes in your carry-on bag just in case something happens to your luggage.

 

  1. Read about the place you’re travelling to

When you’re going somewhere new, it’s best to arm yourself with as much information as you can about the place you’re traveling to. Research on the customs and cultures of the locals in the area as well as nice places to visit when you arrive.

 

  1. Be polite

Having good manners goes a long way when you’re travelling. That’s why I saved the best for last. You’re going to meet a lot of new people when you travel so it is always good to be kind, tolerant and polite to them. You could make some friends along the way.
