Women And Overcoming Anxiety Challenges

Posted on by
women and stress & anxiety

Anxiety is a common mental condition that affects any person. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, women are likely to suffer twice from anxiety disorders compared to their male counterparts.

The causes of anxiety are not very clear, but insomnia or lack of sleep is one of them. When you feel anxious, you can hardly concentrate, you feel unease and often experience problems like daytime fatigue. Depression can make life unbearable to many people, and some of them resort to over-the-counter medication.

However, I know that women are strong and they can cope with this condition. If you are a woman and a victim of anxiety, relax since you are not alone in this day-to-day struggle. Women often experience far-reaching stressors that can even make their life worse compared to males.

From my personal experience, I believe that women with anxiety … Continue Reading

Figuring Out Low-Carb High Fat Eating!

Changing your diet and losing weight can be a tricky process that requires some significant changes and patience. It is easy for dietitians and experts to tell us to eat a better diet and exercise more, but there are so many different ideas on what a healthy diet for weight loss really is that we end up confusing ourselves with latest tricks and fads and arguing over the best advice to take.

I am not switching diets for weight loss per say, although I could stand to lose a few pounds, I feel better when I eat this way.  Rather than look at the new quick fix solutions, try something that has a deeper long-term impact –  which for me is low carb eating.

Instead of torturing yourself by limiting calories and focusing on the amount of fat that is digested, you can actually deal … Continue Reading

National Margarita Day Is Coming – February 22, 2016!

Frozen Margaritas

This winter has been miserable. Christmas and New Year were wonderful but since then it has been a month of cold weather, violent storms and no sign of the warmth of spring. I had been feeling pretty fed up with it all until I remembered that a great day is coming up on February 22nd. There were only two occasions when a Margarita was seen as an acceptable drink for this mom of two – when the four of us are sunning ourselves on our summer vacations down in Cancun and on Cinco De Mayo. That was until my friends and I heard about National Margarita Day.

Celebrate in a festive style by experimenting  with fun Mexican recipes, use a Margarita machine,  and don’t forget the decor.

National Margarita Day sounds a little bit like one of those made up days we use … Continue Reading

5 Things Moms Need

As a mom, it can be tough to balance work, cooking, house cleaning, my relationship with my husband, keeping in touch with friends and raising the kids. Now try to do that while not losing your temper, keeping a soft tone of voice at all times and not feeling like ripping your head out. Yeah, it’s tough if not impossible. I have been every type of mom: The poor, single mom who worked two jobs just to support her autistic child. Then years later I remarried and became the stay-at-home married mom who was learning how to cook and clean. And finally, with my third child, I became the work-at-home mom who was trying to balance everything along with adding in multiple therapies for a preschooler who has a sensory processing disorder, auditory processing disorder as well as possible autism, just like her oldest

Pink Is The New Red

Posted on by

I named this blog “Mama Has PINK Hair” because, well, I had pink hair. But now my pink is the new red. This time the color is so deep, I think it might even fool a hair drug test!

That’s right, I am back to dying my gorgeous locks down to various shades of dark red.

I found that the pink was washing out my face too much since I am already so fair-skinned. Not only that, but summer is over and autumn is here. The colors for cooler months are more serious, earthy, darker tones.

But don’t worry, I won’t be renaming my blog PINK is the New Red or anything like that.
