Household and Personal Care with Kohl's Products

Tweet

Household cleanliness and personal hygiene are important part of our daily lives.  At home and for our personal things, it is the basic concept of cleaning, grooming and always caring for our bodies. It is also important for worker health and safety in the workplace. We pay attention to personal hygiene that can prevent the spread of germs and disease and avoid developing skin allergies, skin conditions, and other sensitivities.

As we always going at the groceries , supermarkets and malls, we buy things important for our house and personal care products. We always buy rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizers,  mouthwash, skin sun block lotion and insecticides spray and a lot more. My kids are always keeping hand sanitizer in their bags everyday. They always have Puremist and Puregel Hand Sanitizer that is an easy-to-carry. I love using SkinProtec, I use especially when I am in the summer adventure these days to protect my skin from the sun.

When I was invited to attend a very intimate gathering at Valle Verde Country Club in Pasig City,  Kohl Industries Corporations Sales and Marketing Manager Ms. Nina Atilano, presented to us and discussed about household and personal care products, especially new products they have. We were familiar with many Kohl’s products aside from a new one, BULLSEYE! And I am now trying using the Bullseye insect repellant in our house and it is good and effective killing cockroaches and other insects.

Kohl Industries Corporation is a leading manufacturing company of household and industrial products in the Philippines. Kohl Industries Corporation was incorporated by a group of professionals and investors led by Aton C. Atilano in June 2002. It started commercial operations immediately thereafter, following the company’s acquisition of the rights to the brand name Doctor J Rubbing alcohol, an alcohol brand that has been in the market since 1994.

The Company’s Mission is to give consumers a cheaper but high quality homecare products. This is Kohl’s small contribution in alleviating the effects of the economic crunch that has been affecting many households in the country.

As a result, Kohl was able to improve its quality and likewise offer the new Doctor J Rubbing Alcohol at a price much lower than those of the leading brands. This was in line with Kohl’s objective to provide consumers with low priced but high quality cleaning agents that would deliver the best value for their money.

I Am A Brain Anuerysm Survivor!

Tweet

Today’s my first anniversary, my first birthday!

I'M A SURVIVOR! And I thank God for my second life, for waking me up after a deep sleep. 

That was after my near-death experience last year February 19, 2011. A stroke due to hypertension called aneurysm. A raptured vein on the left side of my brain, and an operations was done to save my life, the procedure they call surgical clipping. I was really very lucky. God held me during the long hours surgery, held my hands and woke me up after 7 hours. I opened my eyes and the doctor called me as a miracle patient. That was the best blessing, best love of God.

It was a case of a severe headache, the worst pain I ever had, it was like a bolt of lighting. That was Feb. 18 while having lunch with my co-workers. 

I find brain aneurysms almost unique. Can’t understand the dramatic event and I’ve been asking a lot of whys and hows. There are a  lot of curiosity on what’s been happening in life. But I am really thankful to many surprises and blessings. I have recuperated. I never loss memory and physical strength. For one year, I have rest and  I’m alive and kicking! 

I am one of the lucky few that survived a ruptured brain aneurysm. I survived a ruptured brain aneurysm on February 19, 2011. Brain aneurysm is really a tough fight with life, a unique battle and I won.

After three days of the surgery, everything went well in my NEW life. I’m very thankful and happy to see many people around me, staying by my side. Praying, showing their love and concern for me. My family, relatives, friends, classmates, batchmates, from different community groups, my relative's friends, supportive and kind hospital doctors, nurses, and staff.

Thankful to all for giving me support and care. Thanks for all the prayers and love! I am forever grateful to all! May God bless you all! 

I pray to God and always talk to Him even before. Just call Him and He will hear us. Open our heart and by faith, received His strength and might. God empowers us to live in victory and overcome all the troubles in our lives. With God, everything is possible, no matter what is going on in our life. I wonder how can that be possible but then again I was reminded of God’s word that says, “With God, all things are possible” Phil. 4:13.

            “Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever.” -- Psalm 136:26 

            “I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.” --Psalm 52:8

Those who have experienced a brain aneurysm that hemorrhage are really sensitive to anything that involves the head. Any kind of headache sends us into panic mode fearing that we are having another head injury.

There are a number of symptoms that indicate a possible aneurysm has formed. However, quite often these symptoms will be ignored and passed off as a nuisance in life. These sound like everyday things. The recovery process can take months or even years to restore normal everyday functions.

Started April 2011, I was going back to using my computer, back to my readings, my internet hobbies, facebook, games and all. And I did research about Brain Aneurysms. 

Here are some readings: 

An aneurysm or aneurism is a localized, blood-filled balloon-like bulge in the wall of a blood vessel. Aneurysms can commonly occur in arteries at the base of the brain and an aortic aneurysm occurs in the main artery carrying blood from the left ventricle of the heart. When the size of an aneurysm increases, there is a significant risk of rupture, resulting in severe hemorrhage, other complications or death. Aneurysms can be hereditary or caused by disease, both of which cause the wall of the blood vessel to weaken.

Symptoms for an aneurysm that has not ruptured:

▪   Fatigue

▪   Loss of perception

▪   Loss of balance

▪   Speech problems

Symptoms for a ruptured aneurysm:

▪   Severe headaches

▪   Loss of vision

▪   Double vision

▪   Neck pain and/or stiffness

*  Pain above and/or behind the eyes

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of a ruptured cerebral aneurysm is commonly made by finding signs of subarachnoid hemorrhage on a CT scan (Computed Tomography, sometimes called a CAT scan.

TREATMENT

Surgical clipping was introduced by Walter Dandy of the Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1937. It consists a craniotomy to expose the aneurysm and closing the base of the aneurysm with a clip. The surgical technique has been modified and improved over the years. Surgical clipping remains the best method to permanently eliminate aneurysms.

One Weekend Adventure Getaway!

Tweet

One weekend, we went to a friend's secret vacation rest house in Mariveles Bataan, one of the best place for an adventure getaway. We spend the two days in a very relaxing and stress relieving place.

Traveling early morning

Enjoying the sights of the mountains

. . . mountains, valleys, tress, greens

Exciting entering the town

Walking to the far place

The sun filters through the trees

Entering the secret place

.... welcoming us by the energetic friends

. . .  by the different trees

. . .  different kinds of plants and flowers

I feel so happily united with the nature

  

I enjoyed the place, many interesting trees and plants,  flowers, valley and mountains around us. I feel so relaxed with the peaceful nature.  I breathe the clean, fresh air, scents of the trees. It feels cool but I feel the warm on my skin. 

This is one of the most memorable trips after the long time of my rest. One of  my happiness being in a wonderful world. Those moments, those breathtaking sights captured my heart.
