We moms wear so many hats that multi-tasking is easy-peasy for us. We can be tutors and referees at the same time. We are the nurse, the driver, the personal assistant, the cheerleader, and many more. There is so much on our plate but our time and energy is limited. And if we do not have time anymore, caring for our body is the one we almost always tend to drop.

Lucky me, I am not so guilty about this anymore. I have learned my lesson the hard way – after getting sick for two weeks. But there is an area that I am still behind – skin care. I do not know. I feel that it is a tedious thing to do that I would rather sleep even if I know I really need to do it else I will suffer later on.

Having beautiful skin does not always mean you need to break the bank and buy the most expensive skin care products just for the search of our skin’s holy grail. It does not need to be like that simply because you just need to know and understand your skin type in order to be able to manage it and turn it to a more beautiful skin without paying too much!

Here are four simple tips to consider:

1. You need to make sure that you get enough sleep because being well-rested means having enough time for the skin to renew and regenerate overnight. It also lessens the chance of having acne breakout and dark circles under the eyes.
2. Drink plenty of water EVERYDAY. When you drink plenty of water you nourish your skin with natural moisturizing properties plus it helps flush out the toxins from your body.
3. Eat healthy and exercise regularly. This does not only make you slimmer and fitter, it also provides amazing skin results because you get enough antioxidants by eating healthy plus you release happy hormones which make up for a stress-free, wrinkle-free face!
4. Moisturize and give your skin extra care by taking skin enhancing supplements that provide a healthier and better skin while providing other health benefits to the body, just like what Vita-E does!

Me and our two girls have been dengue-stricken already. Luckily, we found out about it at the earliest stage of the disease and that we didn’t get it at the same time. Since then, I have always been paranoid whenever I see any small insect that flies around the house. Whatever it is, I want to get rid of it right away, even if it is just a harmless niknik. If it is a mosquito that I was able to swat with my palms, I even take time to check if it is a dengue-carrying one by looking at its legs. And if I see that the legs have stripes, I get an extra feeling of achievement for swatting it. That’s how OC I get with mosquitoes.

So I have been thinking of ways on how we can protect our kids from mosquito-borne diseases such as Zika, Dengue and Chikungunya in the easiest way possible without even breaking the bank? Well aside from the fact that we must not go to mosquito-filled places, we need to make sure that the kids are well protected with a mosquito repellent that will not irritate their skin. This is where Strike Patch come in!

ATC Strike Patch is a stick-on mosquito repellent. It simply looks like a sticker with cute designs that are made of 100% pure and natural essential oils. It is safe as it is 100% DEET-free and the effects last for 48 hours! Just one patch on the clothes and your children are already protected from the disease-carrying, irritating and infectious mosquitoes! No more hassle, just stick it on the child’s clothing and all is well!

Now, Zika is impossible as long as kids have Strike Patch!
