Are your kids 👶🏻 always on the phone? 📱

Like more than 2 hours per day? 🤔

Are you worried for his/her health?

How about growth and development?

How about his/her vision?

Are your kids well protected from this devices?

For years, the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended no more than two hours of screen time for children and teenagers, and absolutely no screen time for children under 2. However, they’ve now updated their guidelines to reflect the realities of today’s digital world.

The AAP's new recommendations acknowledge that technology is integrated into our daily lives, making it nearly impossible to police a strict two-hour per day limit on school-age children.

Additionally, technology can be a valuable component of learning. Children access computers and tablets at school and use computers to do their homework.

But, some kids are growing dependent on their devices. They're using video games and TV as their main form of entertainment and they're replacing face-to-face communication with text messages and social media.

So Mommies & Daddies out there here are some helpful activities for your children. So that you can limit their their screen time. 👧🏻👦🏻🧒🏻

However, if your kids is spending more than the recommended time. Make sure his/her eyes is well protected and has NO REFRACTIVE PROBLEM. Vision screening is a MUST for every kids out there.
So have his/her eyes 👀 check in your nearest eye doctor.

Here’s some inspiration for your Sansevierias 🌿

18/07/2020

Snake plants originate from West Africa and are a member of the Asparagacea family. Their scientific name is Sansevieria trifasciata, although recently it’s actually being considered a Dracaena instead of a Sansevieria.

However, I’m not ready to accept this change so for me, it’s still a Sansevieria! The snake plant does have some nicknames like Viper’s Bowstring H**p, and St. George’s Sword. It’s most infamous nickname is ‘Mother-in-Law’s Tongue,’ because it’s of it’s sharp, pointed leaves but we definitely don’t recommend gifting this one to your mother-in-law.😂😂😂

A major plus of this plant is its ability to clean the air in your home! it removes harmful toxins and releases fresh oxygen for you and your family. This unique plant also releases oxygen during the night so place it right on your nightstand and enjoy a more restful sleep!

Light:

The reason this plant is so popular is its ability to thrive in pretty much any light condition. It can adapt to full sun all the way to low light settings. The snake plant is typically a slow to moderate grower.

Growth slows down in lower light so to increase growth you’ll need to increase light. Some snake plant varieties have variegation or light-colored leaves that will require more light to retain their unique coloring. Add a grow light to your space if you need to supplement it.

Water:

The snake plant is a drought-tolerant houseplant. This means that one of the few ways you can kill it is to overwater. Water when the soil is completely dry. Check on your plant every 2-3 weeks, but sometimes they won’t need to be watered for over a month! We recommend getting a moisture meter to help you determine when it’s time to water your plants.

When you water your snake plant aim to water around the outside of the plant instead of pouring water into the center of the plant. If water gets caught in the middle of the plant it can lead to rotted leaves. Another trick is to bottom water your plant. Fill up your sink with some water and allow your snake plant to sit in the water for 15-20 minutes until it has had enough time to drink up all the water it needs.

Soil:

Use a well-draining quality houseplant soil. Since one of the few problems snake plants are susceptible to is root rot try using or adding in some cactus/succulent soil to your plant.

Humidity:

These plants thrive in average household humidity. Another plus for the snake plant!

Fertilizer:

Fertilize sparingly with quality houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer. One or two applications during this time are usually plenty and optional for this plant. Another benefit of this easy grower!

Toxicity:

Mildy toxic, keep this plant out of the mouth of curious pets and tiny humans.

Special Considerations:

Repotting:

Snake plants do not need to be repotted very often. They are slow/moderate growers that tend to do better when slightly rootbound. They can live happily in the same pot anywhere from 2-10 years.

Propagation:

This plant is easily propagated through division. As you care for your snake plant you’ll start to see new pups emerging out of the soil. When you repot your plant you can easily create new plants through division. Simply separate these pups and create a whole new snake plant! You can also propagate leaf cuttings in water.

Here‘s something about Folklore and History of Roses 🌹 🥀 🌹

Roses have forever been associated with love and beauty. With their distinctive and alluring scent, it’s not surprising that they were revered by the ancient Greeks and Romans who used rose petals to adorn their baths – not only for their heady fragrance but for their beautifying properties too. Roman women from high society would make rose petal poultices in the belief that they could banish wrinkles with them, and ancient Egyptians would boil down whole roses to create a beauty balm with healing properties. The notorious Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, famously seduced Mark Antony by covering the floors of her palace and bedroom in rose petals to a depth of half a metre. She is also said to have soaked the sails of her royal barge in rosewater so that the scent was carried on the wind wherever she went.

Known as the “Queen of the Flowers”, Rose is perhaps one of the most ancient medicinal plants known to humans, with fossil records showing it is at least 35 million years old! From ancient times until the present day, the humble Rose has been used and recommended for various ailments including; wounds, inflammation, skin health, women's health, stomach complaints, headache, dizziness, grief and heartache, and colds & flu (to name just a few).
