My younger sister in Macau

It’s seems like yesterday when my younger sister was studying physical therapy in one of the colleges near our place. She was all dressed up in medical nursing scrubs complete with white shoes when she goes to school everyday. But there must be a different plan designed for her as she didn’t finish her studies because of early pregnancy.

After several years of being a working mom, and then a stay-at-home mom, and now an overseas worker, she finds herself back in white scrubs, sometimes dark scrubs, again. She neither works at the hospital nor her scrubs purchased at http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/. She is presently working as spa therapist at the Malo Clinic Spa in Macau. She’s been working there for two years now to support her four children as a single parent.

Me-Time for Busy Moms

When was the last time you take some time out from your busy schedule? Even if you are a work at home or stay at home mom, you still need to observe “me-time” to avoid burnout or exhaustion from your daily chores. If you are on a tight budget like me there are simple ways to enjoy time for yourself. You can pamper yourself by getting a manicure and pedicure from you favorite beautician that offers home service for a minimal fee. You can allot a few hours every day to yourself to catch up on your reading. If you are the adventurous type and loves outdoor activities, you can visit the Bird Sanctuary in Candaba, Pampanga (if you’re near the area) and bring with you ncstar binoculars for bird watching. Me-time helps you get your energy back and stimulates your creativity. So the next time you feel not in the mood to work, spare a few minutes to yourself, and do whatever that you love to do, and you’ll be delighted at the result.
