Designer Nursing Scrubs

I came across this website with the coolest medical scrubs you see my sister is a dental assistant, she is also impossible to buy for her birthday as I am a guy dont have a clue as to what type of stuff she is interested in.  Yet every time we get together for dinner or something she is wearing her scrubs from work.

I know she will dig these medical scrub uniforms and buying scrubs is simple as their website is easy to navigate.   To be totally honest I had no idea scrub stores were even out there, but with health care comprising 17% of our entire economy I am surprised that I never thought of it before.

Considering I am 40 I really need to start working on my gift giving or I will never get married!

Being Overweight Can Affect Your Social Life

Recently I was invited by a long time friend to go duck hunting, he has a great cabin and it is always a lot of fun.  We get to act like manly men shoot guns and drink beer and general be large children.  We have been doing this for years (since I was 18) but this year I noticed how hard it is getting for me to trudge through the marshes as I am overweight and over 40 now.  I really need to lose some weight!  At one point I got so tired I stopped and just picked up my hunting binoculars and actually watched my friends as I was just too exhausted.  This made me stop and think, life is about good times with your friends and family and if your health is starting to affect the time you share with those people then you need to aggresively look at what you can do about it.

Home Improvement Equals Pain In The Back

I was recently installing some new  Hinkley lighting which I picked up after the holidays when I fell off my ladder.  My back was killing me.  For me traditional pain relievers often don’t cut it but I am not big on prescription medication.   What should I take?  If any you know a good remedy for lower back pain or herniated disks please let me know.  For now I am popping Alieve with miminal results.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Eliminate Stress By Eliminating Risk

We talk alot about mental health on this site, different ailments or issues and products are exercises that can help with them.  One thing I have been reading a lot about lately is the physical manifestation of your thoughts into illness or ailments.  In other words if you are stressed all the time your body often can show symptoms such as skin irritations, weight gain, mood swings and depression.

How can we avoid stress in our life?

Exercise regularly

Have an active social life

Volunteer or Attend Church

Try not to worry constantly about things you cant control

Be financialy responsible where possible, for example don’t drive without car insurance don’t create opportunities for problems.
