How to talk to your daughter about her first period?

S&S Partners · February 27, 2016 · 1 Comment

The first period is a sacred rite. In south India, families celebrate this passage into maturity with much pomp. But, does the girl really understand what is happening to her and what it signifies?

Twenty years back, my friend introduced me into the mysteries of womanhood. She used to share the whispers she had heard among her adult cousins. We were too young to understand what all it meant and as a result not ready for the change awaiting us.

None of our mothers had talked to us. On the contrary, my mother was herself embarrassed to talk to me. First time it happened, I discussed with my friends and after three days talked to my mom. She had not known how to broach the topic.

Times have changed since then. Lot more information is available and society itself has woken up to awareness regarding such issues. I am sure teenagers today do not find it as difficult to talk about taboos with their mothers now.

But, if you are still shy and do not know how to talk to your daughter about her first period, here are some pointers which might help you prepare for the interview.

How to talk to your daughter about her first period?

Right Age to Talk

The kids are growing faster these days. The average age for the onset of menstruation has dropped from 12 to anywhere between 8 and 13. No doubt it is hard decide when it would be a good time to talk provided they are also too young to understand what it signifies. And, no butterflies stories either!

What Are the Important Gyming Gears?

Way back in June, P had enrolled in a nearby gym. Do not even bother to ask how many days he has been going, though! It is so damn easy to skip the gym 🙁 Anyways, before he had enrolled, we specially went to shop for his shoes. But, not only shoes but clothing and other things also matter when you are hitting the gym. So, check out what all you need to take care of!

Sweat Shirt

Go for the ones that promote healthy air circulation to your skin and absorb your sweat at the same time. High Sweat absorption rates will hide your water losing details and hence help you workout more. Choose wisely keeping in mind your routine. Lower your risks of discomforts wearing a loose outfit that may not stick to your body when wet.

Bottoms

Choosing your lower half wears must be a wise and efficient decision. It’s the length that will actually matter. Be it a pair of shorts or knee length pants what you are actually going to do in the gym with them on you is all what matters. Don’t pick out a tight outfit that may tear out during your exercises. Be concerned about your movements and feel free to have a workout. Excessively long pants may cause you serious problems after getting stuck in a treadmill or so. Search out what is best for you and go for the right choice.

Shoes and Socks

Wear an ethnic pair of shoes that make you comfortable while doing your daily stuff at the gym. Sweaty and smelly feet are a great mood-offs and hence avoid choosing such materials inefficient in handling your body sweat. Wear soft cotton socks and high quality material shoes that lower your risk of any foot disease. Your Shoes should be well supportive, properly ventilated and cushioned. Go for some Good quality source that may not only glamour your personality but also make you feel light.

Head-Gear

Wearing a simple skullcap or a beanie is the best option to absorb the sweat that flows down your head. Don’t allow the sweat to wash down through your eyes or let your hair obstruct your workouts.

Gloves

If you are practising weight-lifting at your end, go for a protective pair of gloves that will prevent your hands from getting scared and getting any injuries. Go for a flexible and reliable pair to get relief and satisfaction.

Swimsuit

Buy an elegant swim suit if you are a great fan of swimming and like to do so at a regular basis. Fetch around two swimsuits at least to have your swimming practice at daily basis. Wear the one that fits you and make you comfortable.

Main Concern: Your gym schedule may include different activities ranging from simple pushups to High machine workouts. Different Activities may demand for different outfits. So, you can decide according to your needs and your exercise schedules that which ones do you really need to invest in!

Blogging Series Vol. 18 – Why is it so wrong to make money from a blog?

Swathy · July 10, 2014 · 8 Comments

I have been blogging for a really looooong time, so long that I feel I am an ancient now!! But, one thing, I have been always wary in all these years is how I earn money and get readers. Yesterday, yet another adwords coupon came along in my mail and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to make use of it while it lasts!!

But, then, I remembered all the flak around certain beauty blogs promoting their pages on facebook and getting likes. I mean, what is so wrong about paying to make facebook promote your page. It is not like you are forcing the people seeing your ads to like it, right? It is entirely their choice to like your page or not. And, paying to promote your page is a business decision which is absolutely sensible. Look at all the brands in the world!!

Why is it that when it comes to bloggers, they seem to get a huge share of criticism if they do one effort to earn money. If you think money is gonna decrease the quality of content, it is entirely justified and then you have a choice of unsubscribing. But, till that time, I think it is fair to give the blogger time and space to experiment with monetizing options.

Blogging full time is a job and bloggers also need food and shelter, just like the rest. And, making money through blogs is not exactly easy, especially if you want to get home loans and such. So, people do whatever they can. May be readers, I know most of you understand these issues and this post is targeted to only few who choose to be exceptions, could be more supportive of that fact and give sometime to your favorite blogger to figure out options.

From my personal experience, I can say that in these four years I have tried many ad networks and blog designs and have stuck to this minimalistic one since almost two years because I found out a balance between ads and content which satisfies me. Similarly, your favorite blogger will also learn. Just give it sometime. Money is very alluring in the beginning.

What do you think? Is making money really so wrong?
