Althea Contraceptive Pills Review

Being a woman is really hard, because you have to take care a lot of things inside and out!

You have to be more conscious not only with your appearance but with your health,too. We, women, are more sensitive than men. So, we should be more watchful when it comes to our health. And that's the thing I didn't do. :( I admit I was not that health conscious before but, after I was diagnosed of having four super small fibroids ( I forgot the sizes) I became more aware with regards to my health.

I will just write more about that on my next blog. For now, I want to have a review about ALTHEA CONTRACEPTIVE PILLS.
I tried some brands of contraceptive pills before like TRUST pills. I already tried the pink one and the yellow one. Also, I tried injectables,too. Sadly, I gained much weight, that's the side effect to me so I decided to stop...

Three months ago, I started taking contraceptive pills again because of the irregularity of my period and the fibroids in my ovary. My OB told me to take contraceptive pill which is anti-androgen to prevent from increasing the number of fibroids...

ALTHEA is a 21-cycle contraceptive pills.
You can start  taking on the first day of your period or anytime you want BUT be sure that you are not pregnant before taking your first pill. After taking the 21st pill you have 7 pill-free days. On the 8th day you have to start taking the next pack. It will only cost you P355 in local drug stores. Half the price of some Contraceptive Pills which has the same effects.

PROS:

* decrease popping out of pimples ^^
* regulate menstrual period
* prevent the feeling of being bloated
* lightens the brown patches on my skin
* helps your skin become smooth and fresh
* loose weight (for me)
* remove unwanted facial hair
* cheaper than Diane pills
* available in local drug stores
* enlarge your boobies (this is pro for me! hahaha)

CONS:

* headache during the first week of taking the pills
* moody

I hope those information will help you if you are planning to take contraceptive pills.
You can also take contraceptive pills even if you don't have a husband or boyfriend because it is therapeutic.:) It will help you a lot with your acne issues (for acne you need to take the pills for at least three months before you see the result/improvement) and menstrual irregularities.
NOTE: DON'T forget to visit your OB-GYN for pap smear every after 6 months.

That's for now Queens! Feel free to post comments and ask questions! ^^

Ladybug Stuff ^^

Why do I chose ladybug or ladybird as a theme of my collection?
Well here's the informative reason..

When I was in college, lots of my friends have their own collections of stuff.. I remembered one of my friends is collecting Hello Kitty stuff which is really cute ^^, the other one is collecting Frog stuff and so on. And in addition to that my aunt,too is collecting Sunflower stuff. It was cool because when I visited her house I saw her kitchen full of sunflower things from kitchen utensils to decorations. Her kitchen is so cute and flowery! hehehe

And so I decided to try collecting something... but what?!
Of course, first thing that came into my mind was INTERNET. hehehe
I searched and searched... because I thought I don't want to just collect something which has a cute theme, I want to collect something which is cute and symbolic... then BOOM! Ladybug it is!!!

Ladybug is a sign of luck. In some countries it is a sign of love. In some Asian countries, they believe that when you caught a ladybug and released it, the ladybug will fly to your true love and whisper your name to his/her ears.. hehe isn't that amazing? hihi.

It is also said that when a ladybug lands on you, your wishes will come true but it depends on the ladybug's spots. Why? because it is said that the spots indicate how many months you are going to wait before your wishes will come true . For Irish, ladybug is a sign of protection.

The name Ladybug arise in Europe in Middle Ages, when pests were  destroying the farmers' crops. It was said that farmers prayed to Virgin Mary to help them. After they prayed, ladybugs appeared. They ate the pests and save the farmers' crops from devastation. From then on, the farmers call the ladybug as "The Beetle of Our Lady".

Aside from having lots of symbolism, Ladybug is such a cutie! I love the combination of red and black. Moreover, there are only few people who are collecting ladybug stuff right?!  ^^. Also it is a symbol of LUCK! hihihi (✿◠‿◠)

And those are the reasons why I started collecting Ladybug things ^^. Anyway, here are some photos of my collections:

So,dollies! If you are planning to collect something, make sure that you will choose a theme which will relate to you personally and has significance to your life. A theme which you will love and makes you happy!^^

Enjoy reading! ^^
