Alcohol & Relationships

 

As the month comes to an end, alcoholism continues to be an issue. Since the pandemic, alcoholism has created more trouble in relationships and more addictions. Although April is considered the month for Alcoholism Awareness, alcohol has been a major reason for getting a divorce and ending a relationship. Alcohol is also one of the contributing factors for a person to abuse, assault, and be violent. However, alcohol should not be considered an alibi for a person who acted violently, aggressively, and forcefully. 

When one person drinks more alcohol in the relationship, the other person will notice the personality differences. The alcoholic might be more aggressive and nervous. Additionally, alcohol might be the main reason for an alcoholic to find an escape from their problems. The alcoholic might be more energetic and do sexual advances in the relationship. Yet, if the alcoholic is married, he or she might end up having an affair, a fling, or a one-time rendezvous. 

Consuming too much alcohol destroys marriages and affects the entire family. When a person is married to an alcoholic, he or she is more vulnerable to being in an abusive relationship. Also, more arguments occur frequently. The alcoholic always denies their alcohol dependence. Never accompany your alcoholic spouse by drinking more alcohol with them. 

Instead, the alcoholic has to accept their addiction to alcohol. He or she has to accept that alcohol is one of the reasons why it is worsening the relationship. He or she has to accept it before going to Alcoholics Anonymous. While the spouse needs to be supportive of the alcoholic, the entire family needs to give support. Also, family and couples therapy is recommended to understand the reasons for being dependent on alcohol. 

Often it is too much for a spouse to handle and the spouse might ask for a divorce. Other times, the spouse might ask for a separation from their alcoholic spouse. More Divorces have increased due to alcoholism. For the most part, alcoholism has destroyed families. Here are resources about alcoholism and relationships.

Tips to Avoid Yoga Injuries

Body injuries are so familiar especially when you begin Yoga for the first time. Usually, after a Yoga session, your back, wrists, or legs might hurt for several days. Therefore, to avoid body injuries in Yoga, it is recommended to warm up your body before doing any yoga pose. You can warm up your body by taking a walk. While you walk, you can swing your arms back and forth.

Also, you can rotate your wrists slowly while you walk. If the pain is unbearable, you can wear wrist supports. Do neck and shoulder exercises if you tend to have neck and shoulder pain after doing yoga. If you have blankets, blocks, or cushions use them to support your lower back. If your ankles tend to get cold, you can use leg warmers to warm up the lower portion of the legs.

Leg warmers can be handmade or purchased anywhere online. Wear knee pads before bending your knees for certain yoga poses. Know your limits to stretching your legs and arms. Make sure you always use a yoga mat, a sturdy chair, and the proper equipment for doing yoga poses. Below are links about avoiding yoga injuries.

World Stationery Day

 

World Stationery Day is on the last Wednesday of April. World Stationery Day is to bring awareness of writing notes and letters. Instead of typing messages on a computer, cellphone, or tablet; Writing notes makes it simpler to write a letter or a note to someone in an office. Writing letters is good practice to practice bold print and cursive handwriting. Today, I have created three coloring stationery pages that can be printed out.

Each page has a basic design. However, there are enough spaces in between the lines especially if you tend to write big. Also, these stationery pages can be used for writing notes, letters, or anything that needs to be written. These stationery pages are free and for your personal use. Enjoy!

DIY Embroidered Monogram

In the past, monograms in clothing were a symbol of status. Monograms were elaborately embroidered onto clothing by hand. Now, mostly all of today’s embroidery is done by machine. However, embroidery by hand continues in clothing and other embroidered items. Today’s tutorial is about a basic monogram design that can be embroidered onto your undergarment.

Materials:

Embroidery needles

Embroidery floss/thread

Scissors

Underwear

Stencils (optional)

Fabric Marker or ballpoint pen

First, wash and dry your underwear. Second, insert embroidery thread into an embroidery needle. Use a pen or fabric marker to trace the monogram onto the undergarment. Also, you can write your monogram by hand if you do not have a stencil. In this example, a circle was traced onto the fabric and the letter onto the fabric with a black ballpoint pen.

Then, insert the embroidery needle onto the undergarment. Embroider the letter. Next, embroider the letter. Additionally, you can add a small, embroidered element inside the circle. For example, in the grey underwear, a star was embroidered inside the circle. Trim the leftover thread of the embroidered design on the inside of the undergarment.

After that turn, the undergarment from the back. On the backside, you can add a star, flower, or any other item you want to have on the back of the undergarment. Continue embroidering the design on the back of the underwear. This embroidery project will take two to three days to do. Here are more links about embroidering and monograms.

Taking Care of Seborrheic Dermatitis Naturally

Taking care of seborrheic dermatitis takes some time and effort to control the skin irritation. Seborrheic dermatitis can occur on the scalp, face, and upper portion of the body. It makes the skin feel like sandpaper. It makes the skin turn red and have dry flakey patches. Although it is not contagious, seborrheic dermatitis makes the skin itchy and more sensitive. 

Therefore, limit your exposure to the sun if you have seborrheic dermatitis. Dermatitis is also called eczema. There are approximately seven different types of eczema. Use a cool cloth to soothe the redness. Do not use facial scrubs. 

Facial scrubs tend to be too grainy and tend to irritate the skin more. Instead, use an unscented facial cleanser. Make sure your lotions and facial products do not have alcohol. You can use aloe vera gel, colloidal oatmeal, or rose water to reduce the inflammation on the skin. Also, you can use products made out of honey. 

Wash your face once a day and hydrate your skin with lotion or oil. Using natural ingredients for your skin will reduce eczema flare-ups. It does not get rid of the skin condition. Therefore, consult with your dermatologist for more ways to treat your seborrheic dermatitis. Here are more links about seborrheic dermatitis.

How to Clean a Toilet Step by Step? (Guest Post)

Cleaning the toilet isn’t exactly the most coveted chore, but it’s certainly an important one — and it’s one that’s worth doing the right way. Before you begin, make sure you have the necessary supplies, including sturdy rubber gloves, a bristle scrubbing brush, toilet bowl cleaner, and either single-use disinfecting wipes or a spray you can use with paper towels. This is not a job for your reusable cloths.

Then, prep the bowl by closing the lid, flushing the toilet, then opening the lid and adding the toilet bowl cleaner as close to the rim as possible. While that’s soaking, clean the outside with your wipes or spray and paper towels, beginning with the tank, handle, and edges before moving on to the outside lid and outside of the bowl and base. Hit the seat next, then get into the bowl with your brush. You’ll find more tips for cleaning your toilet — including how to clean up after you clean the toilet — in this useful graphic.

National Walking Day

Every first Wednesday in April is dedicated to walking for your health. National Walking Day is an effortless way to exercise and to meditate at the same time. It improves your health and may prevent certain diseases. You can walk for fifteen minutes or for one hour a day which will improve your respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and skeletal system. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes that are made for walking and not for jogging.

Also, to walk safely outside, make sure your cell phone is on mute, so it does not distract you. If you are walking on the street, never walk with your cellphone in front of you. If you use a guided meditation app, make sure you have it in a high volume and inside your bag or pocket. Have your hands free when you walk because it will create more blood circulation and exercise for your arms. Additionally, you can mentally do affirmations or mantras while you walk.

Slowly inhale and exhale while you walk. Your affirmations should be short such as “I am healthy,” “I am at peace,” and “I am filled with hope.” Another way to walk is by focusing on the colors that you see when you walk outside. Color walking is a mindfulness approach because you focus on the colors that you see in plant life, animals, and other items that you see on your path. Using color is also a therapeutic approach to feel better. Here are more resources about walking, shoes, and walking safely.

Denim Day

Sexual Assault Awareness Month occurs in April to bring consciousness to people about sexual assaults, rape, and what is considered sexual consent in relationships. Also, if the person is not in a relationship, he or she must be alert and informed of the warning signs to prevent being sexually assaulted. On many college campuses, Denim Day is promoted this month as part of a campaign against Sexual Assault and to support Sexually Assaulted victims. Every year on the last Wednesday of April, college students wear blue jeans, denim hats, denim jackets, or anything that is in denim to bring awareness. Additionally, college campuses offer self-defense classes as well as making sure their students are safe while studying in college.

Most rapes have occurred because of blue jeans. However, what a person wears should not be the blame for being sexually assaulted. Often other circumstances might lead a person to be sexually assaulted which has nothing to do with wearing denim. To support survivors who have been sexually assaulted, you can wear anything that has denim. You can purchase buttons, stickers, and other items to support this campaign.

There is also a pledge to make a social statement with denim and to educate yourself about sexual violence. Also, this pledge shows support to survivors who have experienced sexual violence, sexual assault, and rape. Rape is one form of sexual assault. Yet, sexual assault can take the form of violence and force a person to do a sexual act. A person can also be mistreated, touched without consent, and pressured a person into having sex.

Therefore, it is important to educate yourself no matter how old you are about this, and to prevent this from happening. Wearing blue jeans should not be an excuse for being sexually violated, assaulted, or doing sexual acts without consent. Besides taking a pledge, you can donate to this cause. You can also bring awareness to your social media sites about Denim Day. Here are more resources about Denim Day.

Wear Blue Day (Child Abuse Prevention Month)

 

It is the first day of April and it is the beginning of Child Abuse Prevention Month. On the first day of April and anytime throughout this month, you can bring awareness by wearing blue. Also, you can add a blue pinwheel in your garden in memory of all the children that have been abused physically and emotionally. You can also add a blue light bulb on your porch or entrance of your home. Last, you can add something blue to your home. 

If your child's school offers a free workshop or a free webinar for Child Abuse Prevention, do not hesitate to take the class. In the class, you will learn about the warning signs of a child that has been abused. In addition, you will receive resources and tips to prevent child abuse. No child should go through the emotional and physical pain of abuse from anyone. Therefore, being aware, alert, and having an open mind will help prevent a child from being abused. 

Often a child is abused by someone they know. Sometimes the child will have a strong attachment to the person who is abusing them. Consequently, a child might change their eating habits, wet their bed, and have bad hygiene issues. In extreme cases, a child might want to take their own life. A child will no longer socialize with people in their age group. 

Moreover, child abuse has increased since the pandemic. You can read more about Child Abuse Prevention at Prevent Child Abuse Organization. You can also donate money and participate in a virtual pinwheel garden. Do not forget to wear your blue shirt. Here are more resources for Child Abuse Prevention Month.
