Is Eating Tuna Allowed During Pregnancy?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of HealthyTuna.com. All opinions are 100% mine.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I do not remember my doctor prohibiting me from eating tuna. I know he told me not to eat raw food but not any particular seafood. Tuna being one of our favorites, I am very sure that I have eaten tuna when I was pregnant. One reason why pregnant women are scared to eat tuna is because of its mercury content but the seafood industry contends that by not letting pregnant women eat tuna during pregnancy, they are depriving their children of important nutrients. More information about the benefits of eating healthy tuna can be found here.

In our household, tuna is a favorite. We have learned to lessen our intake of pork and we focus more on seafood and chicken. I always have tuna salad at home; perfect for my lunch and snack when traveling. I use canned tuna in water mixed it with light mayo, a little mustard, finely chopped onions and lettuce. I usually have tuna salad on a hard roll or wheat bread with some potato chips or eat it with my favorite crackers and iced tea. This is already my lunch when I am working. It is light and healthy. I can eat my favorite tuna everyday with no guilt.

Girlie Luggages

I took this picture when we went to Volkswagen Waterfest last weekend. Aren't these luggages so cool? You can spot them right away at the carousel when you are claiming your baggages at the airport. My husband says, these are perfect luggages if you own one of the colorful Volswagen beetle.

Umbilical Cord Blood Banking At Cryo-Cell

Last weekend, I went to visit my friend who is pregnant. She is on the later part of second trimester. The doctor told her that she is on a high risk pregnancy thus recommending a total bed rest before she gets to her last trimester. My friend has two kids already and both were born premature. She is being advised by her doctor to be very careful, avoid any stressful activity and report any symptoms or problem immediately.

My friend was telling me that this is the most difficult pregnancy she has. She has all our prayers hoping that the baby makes it to full term, be healthy and without any complications. We also discussed the importance of storing the baby’s umbilical cord blood through cryo-cell. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you to be able to preserve your baby’s umbilical cord blood once he or she is born. The stem cells that are found in the umbilical cord blood can be used to treat more than 75 diseases such as blood disorders, malignancies, heart diseases, diabetes and a lot more. It has also been used in more than 10,000 transplants worldwide. This is beneficial not only for your own child but also to his or her siblings. The Cryo-Cell testimonials shared by parents will really encourage you to do a cord blood banking that can save lives in the future. If you want to request more information, you can just go to cryo-cell.com or call 1800-STOR-CELL.

I Am Excited To Go Clubbing

This coming 4th of July weekend, we have friends from California who are coming over for a visit. Last time we saw one another was when we went to San Diego about five years ago. We stayed at their beautiful house for a weekend and now it is our chance to tour them around New York and New Jersey. They are first timers here together with their teen daughter. Only Friday, July 3rd, we are planning to go clubbing in the city while the daughter can hang around with the step daughter. I have not been in a club for a long time since I had my daughter. I do not think I still know how to dress up for a clubbing spree. My friend says to go shopping at AMIClubwear, an online boutique selling trendy and fashionable clothing, shoes, accessories, etc at very reasonable prices.

While shopping at AMI Clubwear, I have learned that they have expanded their services to YouTube, this time not only selling clothes; they will share to the viewers videos of their company, fun-filled trips, photo shoots and behind the scenes footages.

My Mother's Day Gift

Mother’s day is one special day that I always look forward to every year. Every mother’s day has been special to me since I became a mom but this mother’s day was more significant because it is the first time I got a card from my daughter that she made herself. Also, it is the first time that my husband has given me jewelry as a gift. I was really surprised because he does not know how to buy jewelry. Normally, he will bring me to a store, let me pick what I want and he pays for it. When I asked him if he asked his sister-in-law to help him, he said no. He confessed that he got some tips and gift ideas from Jewelry Information Center on how to buy jewelry. I checked the website myself and I found how helpful it is to buyers and consumers. If you want information about fine jewelry, shopping guide and tips, cleaning ideas, history or latest trends, jic.org will provide you with everything you need.

Also at JIC.org, you can read different Jewelry Stories posted by people from all over the world; stories on how a piece of jewelry gets a special meaning in someone’s life.

I Am Shopping Again

I and hubby finally made up our mind about the beach party this coming Memorial Day weekend. I will be held down the shore and is being hosted by the Officers of my husband’s tennis club. At first we were undecided because I will be working that weekend but luckily my co-worker was looking for a switch for her weekend so it worked perfectly fine for me.

For the beach party, I am planning to wear this summer dress that I found on amiclubwear.com. I will be wearing this with the flat sandal I have bought from them few days ago. It is usually very warm during Memorial Day so this dress can beat the heat and humidity for that day.

I found this little black dress for the step daughter’s graduation day. It is time to replace my overused black dress at home which has been worn in so many occasions. Since hubby will be wearing his coat and tie, I cannot be in something informal that night. The graduation will be at 6 p.m. followed by a dinner in one hotel here.

If you are shopping for sexy clothing for parties, clubbing or any special event, go to amiclubwear.com for a wide selection of party clothes at very low prices. They also have every kind of footwear and accessories to match your dress. Not only you get them at very low prices, you also get free shipping within the U.S. for purchases of only $50.

Laser Hair Removal

Six more weeks to go before spring season comes. These thick clothes are going back to the storage to be replaced by tank tops, shorts and flip flops. The only problem with wearing shorts is you constantly have to shave your legs to avoid those unwanted hairs to show. My friend is persuading me to do a permanent hair removal using a laser yag machine. I am not familiar with it but she will be showing to me an instructional video she bought from videoshelf.com about how laser removal works, procedures, different options and a lot more. If it is not scary to me I will consider doing it before the warm season comes. I want all these unwanted hairs to go permanently.

Laser Hair Removal

If we have to go to a party, I always give at least two hours to prepare myself. I spend a lot of time taking a bath because I still have to do the hair removal on my legs and eye brows. My husband has no patience waiting for me so he asked me if I want a permanent hair removal so that I do not have to do all these every time we have to go somewhere. I have a gift certificate from the salon; maybe I can use that for a laser hair removal, right? This could be a nice treat for me for the New Year.

I Want a Younger Looking Skin

When we attended my husband’s tennis Christmas party last night, I saw my closest friend who is one of the wives in the group. Although we always call each other we seldom get the chance to set a date and have lunch or dinner. Both of us are always busy with work and family. It was my first time to see her after she has been using Dermalastyl on her face. She looks wonderful and I could see the difference on her skin. The lines underneath her eyes and the wrinkles on her face are not that visible anymore. Even the other ladies were commenting on how beautiful she was that evening.

Now I am convinced with how dermalastyl can improve the appearance of your skin. I want to start using it but I am not going to tell my friend about it. I want to surprise her next time we see each other again probably this coming spring time during her hubby’s birthday. I already ordered my two month supply for just $89 only. This will be my Christmas gift to myself. The amount that I have spent in buying over the counter anti-aging creams is more than what I have spent for my two month supply and a lot cheaper that botox or injections. Had I thought of this earlier, I could have saved a lot and at the same time with a younger looking skin now.

Victoria Secrets Gets Sued

A customer named R. Ritter is suing Victoria Secret because the bra she bought made her sick. There were 2 bras she bought from VS – the very sexy extreme push up and angels secret embrace bras. After wearing them, she said that she has rashes and welts, very inflamed, itchy and very red. Because of too much itchiness, she cannot sleep or she wakes up because of the itch. A lab test was performed revealing that VS bras contain formaldehyde that can cause allergic reactions to some people. Now a lot of women want to do a class action suit against Victoria Secret.
