P.S. If you constantly wash your hands and /or constantly use hand sanitizer on a daily basis 24/7, please do not forget to moisturize your hands afterwards. Just use a simple hand/body lotion such as [Olay: Ultra moisture Lotion with Shea butter] or use a hand sanitizer that is moisturizing to your hands like [Bath and BodyWorks: HandiBac anti-bacterial moisturizing hand lotion.] You could also wash your hands with moisturizing soaps. What are some of your favorite hand moisturizers?

This past week I have been taking One A Day VitaCraves multivitamins for adults. In the past I have taken vitamins. The last time I've taken a vitamin was when I used to take Flintstones multivitamins for kids before they had the gummy ones. Yea that's how long ago I've taken a multivitamin. I've peen planning on taking vitamins for the longest and I finally bought a bottle. I'm not big on swallowing pills so I decided to try out the gummies. However, some people prefer pills because they feel that they may be better. Personally I think it doesn't matter if you swallow a pill or chew a gummy...they all serve the same purpose. I've read that taking a good daily multivitamin/mineral supplement improves your overall bodily functioning and boosts both your physical and mental health and well-being. Being that I just started taking these vitamins, I don't really know the outcome yet. Therefore I will post an update after I finish the whole bottle of vitamins. All in all, I encourage everyone to start taking multivitamins in an effort to stay healthy!
Do you take Vitamins? Will you take them in the future? If you take vitamins, do you prefer pills or gummies? Leave comments and....

Simple Tips for Healthy Eyes
Your eyes are an important part of your health. There are many things you can do to keep them healthy and make sure you are seeing your best. Follow these simple steps for maintaining healthy eyes well into your golden years.
Have a comprehensive dilated eye exam. You might think your vision is fine or that your eyes are healthy, but visiting your eye care professional for a comprehensive dilated eye exam is the only way to really be sure. When it comes to common vision problems, some people don’t realize they could see better with glasses or contact lenses. In addition, many common eye diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and age-related macular degeneration often have no warning signs. A dilated eye exam is the only way to detect these diseases in their early stages. During a comprehensive dilated eye exam, your eye care professional places drops in your eyes to dilate, or widen, the pupil to allow more light to enter the eye the same way an open door lets more light into a dark room. This enables your eye care professional to get a good look at the back of the eyes and examine them for any signs of damage or disease. Your eye care professional is the only one who can determine if your eyes are healthy and if you’re seeing your best.
Know your family’s eye health history. Talk to your family members about their eye health history. It’s important to know if anyone has been diagnosed with a disease or condition since many are hereditary. This will help to determine if you are at higher risk for developing an eye disease or condition.
Eat right to protect your sight. You’ve heard carrots are good for your eyes. But eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, particularly dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale, or collard greens is important for keeping your eyes healthy, too.i Research has also shown there are eye health benefits from eating fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut.
Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese increases your risk of developing diabetes and other systemic conditions, which can lead to vision loss, such as diabetic eye disease or glaucoma. If you are having trouble maintaining a healthy weight, talk to your doctor.
Wear protective eyewear. Wear protective eyewear when playing sports or doing activities around the home. Protective eyewear includes safety glasses and goggles, safety shields, and eye guards specially designed to provide the correct protection for a certain activity. Most protective eyewear lenses are made of polycarbonate, which is 10 times stronger than other plastics. Many eye care providers sell protective eyewear, as do some sporting goods stores.
Quit smoking or never start. Smoking is as bad for your eyes as it is for the rest of your body. Research has linked smoking to an increased risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, cataract, and optic nerve damage, all of which can lead to blindness.
Be cool and wear your shades. Sunglasses are a great fashion accessory, but their most important job is to protect your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. When purchasing sunglasses, look for ones that block out 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation.
Give your eyes a rest. If you spend a lot of time at the computer or focusing on any one thing, you sometimes forget to blink and your eyes can get fatigued. Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away about 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds. This can help reduce eyestrain.
Clean your hands and your contact lenses—properly. To avoid the risk of infection, always wash your hands thoroughly before putting in or taking out your contact lenses. Make sure to disinfect contact lenses as instructed and replace them as appropriate.
Practice workplace eye safety. Employers are required to provide a safe work environment. When protective eyewear is required as a part of your job, make a habit of wearing the appropriate type at all times and encourage your coworkers to do the same.

Your cell phone carries a TON of germs. Why?...Because we put our phone down on tables and counters, you let others use it, and you constantly touch things throughout the day and then you touch your phone. Ewww! I know. So today's tip is to make sure you disinfect you phone when you get home. Also you should clean your phone when you are about to eat because we all know that people tend to text people during mealtime, especially if you are eating alone in a restaurant. When I say disinfect, I mean just wipe your phone off with a sanitizing wipe or go the cheap rout and put a little hand sanitizer on a napkin and wipe it down, don't drench your phone because we all know what happens when your cell phone gets wet. You could also spray Lysol on a napkin and wipe your phone with it. It doesn't matter what you do, just as long as you get those cell phones CLEAN!
