My Daily Physical Exercise as Influenced by my Aunt

Back in gradeschool, I remember having our morning stretching everyday right after the flag raising ceremony. But, to me, it wasn't only during my gradeschool days that I do the said exercises because my Aunt Iying told me to do it everyday until I grow old. She made me understand how important it is for ones body. So, now that I am already in my 30's, I still do it. Sometimes I also do Zumba, thanks to You Tube for the videos ;-) But when the internet connection is weak, I just do my own choreography, just to stretch my body. I would say, that my body is looking for it already. It hurts when I don't exercise for a while. I don't think there had been a straight week of no exercise for me eversince I started exercising. How about you, what kind of physical activities do you have just to keep that body healthier? Up to this day, I am thankful for my aunt who have influenced me with this. She's already up there, but, she will always be in my thoughts.

The Effective Cure for Chapped Lips

I thought lips could only suffer from dryness to being chapped when it's extremely cold, but, I was wrong because I just suffered from it last week. It lasted for two days, and it was so irritating. Having heard from a friend who's a Pediatrician about the natural anti-inflammatory component of Olive Oil, I applied it on my lips religiously.

I poured the oil onto a small container with lid so it's easier to finger-dipping

Yes, everytime the oil was gone, I'd immediately re-apply. Basically, I was wearing olive oil round-the-clock, and that's the only thing that I put on my lips. And I kept on drinking lots of water as dehydration might have been its cause also. This summer heat that we're experiencing now has few disadvantages that we might suffer, so, better be cautious, and be healthy. Let's rule the summer, than vice versa to enjoy it to the max.
