Discounts & Best Buys

Recently, my elder sister bought her mother-in-law an Omron HEM-780 ComFit Cuff Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor that’s $59.32 after 54% off discount.

Originally, my sister’s plan was to get her in law the same model that my mom has been using, that’s the Omron HEM 650 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor.

But then, she was attracted by the added feature of keeping the BP reading history for 2 different regular users. This means she can track the readings of my mom as well whenever she has her one-week or longer stay there.

Since hubby started his work on the first of July, he has almost finished his first bottle of 42% Discount Off 250-Tablet Multivitamins. Of course, I do pop a tablet once in a while too.

With the increasing death toll and confirmed cases of A-H1N1 in the town, I had to order a few more bottles of Vitamin C, E and multivitamin supplements last night.

I was so scared when my students told me that the number of students being afflicted with fever and flu in their school had doubled; many teachers and students were absent because of fever and influenza A-H1N1.

I was even more terrified when I found out that one of the students who broke the news to me had slight flu. Gosh!

At that time, I had no face mask. The only thing I could do was asking the student to sit further away from me and cover her nose and mouth with a piece of tissue.

I also popped one more Vitamin C tablet hoping that my immune system would be strong enough to keep myself off the flu.

Right after the class, I ordered a box of 3-Ply Disposable Earloop Face Masks, together with the 42% off Vitamin C, E, Multivitamin and Milk Thistle supplements online.

As it’s going to take a few days for the face masks and vitamins to arrive, I decided to buy two disposable tie-on surgical face masks from a nearby pharmacy to use first this morning.

I brush my teeth twice a day, but they’re still a little yellow. Does this happen to you?  If so, you may want to consider whitening your teeth in as little as 15 minutes at home with this Home Tooth Whitening Kit.

CAUTION: It is NOT FOR YOU if you are pregnant or nursing; have decayed teeth, exposed roots, jaw problems, gum disease or recent oral surgery; or wear braces.

Teeth darken with time through constant exposure to certain foods and drinks such as berries, tea, coffee and carbonated drinks, and smoking.

However, the color of teeth is also determined by genetic factors. If your teeth are discolored as a result of genetic or medical factors, no amount of scaling, polishing or whitening will lighten them.

Let me share with you some tips to reduce staining from exposure to foods, drinks and smoking.

1. Replace Your Regular Toothpaste. Replace your regular toothpaste with one that contains whitening agents.

2. Have a Dentist Whiten Your Teeth for You. A 30-minute to one-hour in-house treatment at your dentist’s clinic can help reduce stubborn stains.

Alternatively, your dentist can prescribe a home whitening kit for you to use at your own convenience.

3. Have Porcelain Veneers Fitted. If your stains cannot be lightened, you may want to consider opting for porcelain veneers, which are wafer-thin shells of porcelain that are fitted onto the front of your teeth.

These give you not only a brilliant smile, but also correct other imperfections such as chipped teeth and irregular tooth shapes.

4. Invest in Electric Toothbrush. Brushing your teeth correctly can not only help remove plaque, but also reduce the build-up of stains.

A Power Toothbrush with the right moves can take all the guesswork out of brushing correctly.

5. Prevent Further Staining. Prevent further staining bu avoiding foods, drinks and habits that contribute to it. If you must indulge, brush your teeth immediately after eating, drinking or smoking.

6. Wear the Right Lipstick. Orange-toned lipsticks will only bring out the yellow in your teeth, so try slicking on lipsticks with pink or purple undertones instead. These will help bring out the white in your teeth, giving your smile a boost of bright.

Want white teeth? Then, follow the step-by-step guide to a whiter, brighter smile.

Hubby started his work on the 1st of July. Initially I wanted to gift myself a pair of Swarovski Crystal Earrings that was of 57% discount deal.

However, I decided to put it off. Instead, I bought him a bottle of Centrum Multivitamin Supplement Tablets. It contains 100% of the suggested daily value of 17 vitamins and minerals, with a total of 33 essential vitamins and minerals.

It’s of 42% discount deal.

I still don’t understand why I didn’t buy the Milk Thistle as well when I bought the multivitamin supplements. It’s also of 42% discount. What was I thinking at that time?

Milk Thistle is as important as the active bioflavonoid complex, silymarin and its sub- component silibinin, are powerful antioxidants in the liver and exert a protective effect against toxins and substances that are harmful to the liver.

Hubby’s liver function has always been not so good, so there is a need for him to take Milk Thistle to protect his liver from further damage caused by tiredness and stress.
