Cure a headache without medicine

March 31, 2009 Paris B 27 Comments

headache

Most of us when we get a headache, automatically reach for pills – aspirin, panadol/ paracetamol – which are kept handy in our first aid kits or even in our handbags. I should count myself lucky that I’m not susceptible to getting headaches – when I do, its debilitating 😛

Because I’m a little paranoid about being overly dependant on drugs to cure my headache, I have been researching into alternative natural ways to cure a headache. Here are a few natural cures that help me and which I hope will help you too.

Take a nap

If possible, take a few minutes to nap. Napping relaxes your mind and body and when you are asleep, you don’t usually feel the pain of a headache. Often I find that when I wake up the headache is all but gone. If you can’t sleep, just closing your eyes and relaxing will usually work. If I have a bad head during the day, I usually have an early night and am right as rain in the morning.

Have a shower and wash your hair

I also find that having a hot shower and washing my hair helps relieve my headache. I usually have a hot shower and then end off with a cold shower. I find it helps my head. In the alternative, I go for a hair wash at a salon where they usually incorporate a head massage that does wonders for a headache!

Review: Bloop de Paris Gel Eyeliner – Plum

March 30, 2009 Paris B 41 Comments

[note]

Apologies to everyone who tried to comment on the Purse Pleasers post. I had a little glitch and comments were inadvertently closed. Its now open! 🙂

[/note] 

Going shopping with friends is always fun but we can get bad for each other e.g. Beetrice and myself. We were not planning to go shopping. We were planning to “check out” the Bloop de Paris counter at Sunway Pyramid (the only free standing one so far) to perhaps heckle it and thanks to her, I ended up with the gel eyeliner. Teehee… She might tell you a different tale 😛

Bloop de Paris strangely enough, has no web presence, so I can’t find out anything about this company. Suffice to say that it is a Malaysian company which I was told gets their stuff from Paris. At their low low prices, I seriously doubt this claim – just look at the Euro-RM currency conversion rate and you’ll know what I mean.

Still, the gel eyeliner in a little round pot caught my eye not for anything, but because its a nice shimmery plum shade. There is no colour name on the pot – bad! The gel eyeliners come in a few shades and although the bottom half is transparent, its filled with gel liner so they all look dark/black. Names or numbers or some form of identification would be nice if anyone’s taking notes.

Packaging gripes aside, how does the Bloop de Paris gel eyeliner perform? Very well actually – I was impressed.

Purse Pleaser – not just another bag organizer

March 29, 2009 Paris B 12 Comments

When I was introduced to the Purse Pleaser bag organizer by Li, I could not help making a comparison to a desk caddy for stationery. It had that same look about it. Unlike most bag organizers we are used to, like the one I purchased before, the Purse Pleaser is made of sturdy plastic. “How would that work in a bag?” I thought as I looked the contraption over.

Well, the best way to know of course, is to use it!

I’d been using the canvas bag organizer I purchased before this in my large tote. It was filled with all the stuff I carry about everyday and it kept everything in its place. It was also very heavy perhaps due to all the stuff I carry around everyday. I replaced it with the Purse Pleaser and to my surprise, found that I had more space in the Purse Pleaser than I needed and my shoulders weren’t aching!

The benefit to having an organized bag is this:-
[tip]

  • Its Safer – You no longer have to root around for your car keys and house keys which means you can remain more aware of your surroundings and personal safety.
  • No more missed calls – If you are like me before and can never find your ringing phone because its buried deep inside the recesses of your bag.

[/tip]

The other surprise benefit I found in using the Purse Pleaser is that it was lighter than I expected! The plastic is very lightweight and very much lighter than the canvas organizer even when filled with my stuff. I had not realised that it was the bag organizer that was contributing to the weight on my shoulders.

The Purse Pleaser comes in a set of 3 sizes – small, medium and large.
