Last Minute with HP: A 24-Hour Hassle-Free Printing

     Hi mommies! Think of this scenario: you are rushing to finish an unexpected school project or even a simple assignment- both you and your child are already feeling the stress it gives. Imagine your children staying up late at night just to research, write, and put together a book report, biography, movie review, poster or collage, and other projects.

     After all the efforts, there will be a problem- last-minute printing problems with a low-quality printer. It's really stressful when they suddenly realize they won’t be able to submit the project or assignment and after all these hard work.  So when this unexpected problem arise, the next best option is to look for a 24-hour computer shop or Internet café late at night or in the wee hours of the morning and pray they have a working printer, regardless of the quality of printouts. Thankfully, parents and their kids can avoid some of these last-minute stressful situations by simply having an HP DeskJet 3635 Ink Advantage All-in-One Printer right at home. Check out the reasons below :)

Raising Awareness for Eating Disorders among Teen Males

     There is a lot of attention on eating disorders, especially with young girls. It is estimated that 50 percent of teenage girls indulge in unhealthy activities in order to lose weight or to prevent weight gain. This is a drastic increase when compared to previous decades. The spotlight on eating disorders, unfortunately, seems to shine largely upon females. The frightening truth however is that 30 percent of teenage boys also use drastic measures to reduce their weight. 

Raising Awareness for Eating Disorders among Teen Males

The Misconception 

     Eating disorders are typically considered to be a ‘girl’s’ disease. Many are under the mistaken belief that it is an affliction that only affects females. Even more worryingly, there are many medical experts who are still unable to diagnose anorexia or bulimia in young boys or men. This is why it is difficult to find eating disorder treatment for men in the medical community. 

     One of the reasons for this is the different expectations that society places upon males and females. For instance, in the fashion industry women are always portrayed as being extremely skinny. It is desirable to be a size zero and very lean. This, however, is not the case for boys and men. They have traditionally been urged to be bigger and buffer. It is all about going to the gym and building muscles. This concept of ‘larger’ leads many people to believe that males cannot develop an eating disorder. This, unfortunately, is where they are mistaken. 

Progression of the Disease

     The need to be more physically desirable is often a gateway to unhealthy eating patterns in males. This means that the symptoms may differ from those seen in females. This, however, does not exclude these behaviors from being indicators of a mental disorder. With young men, it may typically begin with exercise and cutting calories to get the ideal body. In certain instances, this can progress. It will develop into exercising constantly, even past the point of exhaustion. They will also begin to limit their calories to a dangerous low number. 

     One of the components of this type of mental illness is that the sufferer cannot perceive that their behavior is unhealthy. They are also unable to notice the drastic changes that their bodies are undergoing. For instance, a young man with a skeletal physique may still see himself as overweight or not good enough when he looks in the mirror. This only serves to push themselves harder to get the body that they still think they need to achieve. They do not see their actions as unreasonable or unnecessary. The only thought they are able to focus on is how much exercise they need to do and limiting their calories. 

Take Action 

     There needs to be a greater awareness about the potential threat that many young men are facing. It is only then that this disease can be avoided. Society needs to be made aware that this is a public health nuisance. This will encourage more people to seek the help that they so desperately require. It will also help friends and loved ones to be able to spot the signs of this terrible disorder. This will go a long way in preventing and curing this mental illness.

Maybelline White Superfresh #UltiMatteFaceOff Challenge + Giveaway!

     Maybelline is my first brand of powder foundation. Raise your hands if you're a Maybelline girl :) No doubt that the brand trumps other drugstore brands in the market today because their products are very affordable and effective. Since it's already summer, the hunt for a powder foundation that can withstand heat and humidity is on! Maybelline has been known as one of the best brands that offers powder foundation for specific needs.

     I've tried more than five brands of face powders in the past and only a few made into my favorite list. Since we are living in a tropical country, a not-so-good face powder makes the face oily after an hour or two, tends to become cakey and patchy. I've seen beauty bloggers raving the new powder foundation of Maybelline called White Superfresh. I'm about to buy a compact to try it for myself but the Maybelline team invited me to take the #UltiMatteFaceOff challenge this week. Of course I've accepted it without second thoughts.

     The activity is very simple. I just have to spray water on the powder foundations and observe how foundation x, y, and z reacts to it. I also sprayed the same amount of water to Maybelline White Superfresh powder foundation and after a few second, the water being absorbed by the powder foundation thus keeping sweat and oil at bay!
