What Can We Expect From Medicine and Pharmacology in the Future

Medicine and pharmacology have always been closely connected. They need to cooperate in order to fully address certain medical condition. In a way, one cannot exist without the other. As the world changes, so do these two important industries. According to pharmacists from YouDrugstore.com, both of these sectors will increase in future, bringing in more profit for the companies. Certainly, this also means that bigger competition will bring resolution to many diseases. However, if you are an ordinary patient without proper health insurance, this also can mean that you won’t be able to cover most of the costs.
                 
Even though there is more and more companies within these branches, cost of medical bills is constantly on the rise. In a sense, this is understandable. As organizations invest a lot of resources into research and development, they need to increase prices so they can return money and remain competitive on the market. But, USA is still suffering from various health policy issues. It remains to be seen how they will be resolved in future. One thing is for certain. These two industries will continue thriving regardless of prices they put.
                
The main reason why hospitals and pharmacies are able to make so much money is the fact that population of the world is constantly growing older. Naturally, most of these people are sick or under the weather. Specialists believe that this trend will continue. Furthermore, this trend which was previously common for western world will spread to eastern countries such as China and India. Due to their recent economic development, their demographic situation will become more similar to our own.
 
At the same time, we have changed our perception of health. Due to numerous sickness, cardiac issues, weight and pressure problems, individuals have become more aware of their health and necessary sacrifices which they need to make in order to maintain it. Seeing profit in this, pharmacies such as You! Drugstore, decided to offer their clients drugs for prevention. Lately, supplements are the most popular merchandise. They allow us to keep minerals and vitamins thus protecting our vitality. This is especially important for all those who do not have enough time for exercising. Similarly, governments of the world are investing more funds in raising awareness of the people when it comes to certain conditions. This further assists with our longevity.

However, even though long life is something that we should look for, it brings its issues. As previously mentioned, continuously aging population requires support. This support is provided by those who are still active, covering for enormous social and pension costs. But, the way we are going, at one point, there simply will not be enough people who are able to work and cover these increasing costs. This will make entire social systems and policies erode. Patients will no longer be able to count on any medical assistance. Instead, they will be forced to pay all the costs (which are constantly increasing) from their pocket.

Kids Academy Releases Preschool Education Center

This blog has partnered with Mom Buzz Media to announce this exciting information!

Kids Academy Releases Preschool Education Center
for iOS and Android!

Kids Academy Image 2

Today's world is so fast paced. Everyone is plugged in and the old ways of teaching(and therefore learning) have been replaced. It is important to find ways to teach that match up with the way kids today learn most easily. Educational apps are one of the most effective ways to supplement home teaching and school education. That is why I love Kids Academy.

The Preschool Education Center is an all-in-one educational app created for children and toddlers by the team at Kids Academy! With already over 10 million downloads worldwide, they have just released a long-awaited update to this amazing app! The app is designed to cover all aspects of early childhood education. Children learn about the alphabet, reading, writing, building vocabulary and even developing math skills. Based on the proven Montessori method, the Preschool Education Center app offers a number of fun games that help master essential learning skills through play, making learning fun!

I have been using this app with my daughter for months now. She loves all the interactive games. The positive reinforcement when she gets something right is great for her confidence, she just loves to hear it and has even started saying "Great job" along with the app. When she makes a mistake an encouraging "try again" is said.

I love that she is able to have fun while she is learning and to get the instruction and praise from somewhere besides her immediate family. I think that she received it more when it comes from multiple sources. She has fun while learning and I cannot ask for anything more from an app, especially not a free on. We love Kids Academy apps.



Until now, Preschool Education Center has only been available on iTunes but now it is finally available for Android devices on Google Play! This fun and free app is currently being featured in the Family section of the Android store in the USA, Australia and Canada.

Starlooks Looksbook Box Review - Revival

If you have been following for while, I am sure you have already seen how my love affair with Starbox. That is something that has been going on for years now. However last month it was taken to another level when I was introduced to Looksbook by Starlooks.

Looksbook is not just a subscription box, it is a lifestyle. Looksbook is a complete look that comes in perfect sizes and in a custom designed little box that keeps everything together and secure in a compact case that fits perfectly in your purse.


This month the Looksbook is called Revival. It contained a Perfect Size Eye Shadow Duo, Mascara and Lipstick. They are all matched by Starlooks to create a signature look.


The look begins with the Agave Eye Shadow Duo. These are earthy shades of red and green. I really like that these are a more matte and in colorful yet nuetral tones. These are nothing like the shimmery chocolate browns and gold tones I usually choose for my eye shadow. I like being "pushed" to try new things. It helps me expand my possibilities.


Step two in the Revival look is the Flora Spectrum Mascara. This is a blueish color. It is not overly bright or dark.It is very unique. I have not seen a mascara close to this shade before. I almost exclusively use black mascara, so I was excited to mix it up with this one. I love it.


Finally, the finishing touch on this fabulous look is lipstick in Rawr. It is a very bold, bright pink color. It is a matte shade, which fits perfect with the other items in this collection. It is very opaque. It is smooth, but not creamy, it feels almost powdery(in a good way) on the lips. Such a daring shade.


None of these shades are ones that I would normally choose for myself and I would never think to combine them in this way. I love that Starlooks creates such unique looks for me with the Looksbook Box, because they know much more about beauty and cosmetics than I do, and I love having expert style advice. They even give specific tips in the Looksbook.


The tips are great. I wish I was better at applying makeup in general, but I love having the looks chosen and the tips laid out for me. It sure makes it more difficult for me to fail(not that I still won't). My completed look is not nearly as nice as these model photos, but with my skill level, I think it looks good, which is a credit to Starlooks for sure.


The Looksbook Box is a must have beauty toolkit. It is like getting a gift in the mail every month. It is exciting and expands your horizons and, best of all, it is only $12 a month, and shipping is free. You can't even get these perfect size products for $12, but you definitely would not get the specialty looks created for you, the perfect fit case for travel and the expert tips. This is amazing value. What are you waiting for? Subscribe now!
*Although I received Looksbook at no cost to facilitate a review, all opinions are 100% my own.*

Be a Potty Training Super Hero with Kandoo


Anyone who has ever tried potty training know that it is not a walk in the park. It can be stressful for parents and for children, especially when they feel it is a chore and they feel pressured. Everything is easier to do when you are motivated and feel rewarded for your efforts. That is why it is important to make potty training fun.

The first time I tried to potty train my daughter. I didn't make it fun, not like I should have. I offered rewards for her if she did it, but I know I put too much pressure on her and made it seem like I was forcing her. That did not work at all. She would cry whenever I tried to get her on the potty. I had to take a step back.

The second time around  decided to be way more laid back. I wanted her to want to use the potty and to feel rewarded for every little accomplishment. That worked much better. She loves rewards, but I realized it could not only be for after she used the potty as a bribe, I had to make using the potty fun for her in general.

My daughter gets excited for new things. Anything new seems to make her happy, even things like new training pants or a new detangling spray. So I knew she would love getting new Kandoo potty training products that were just for her.


Kandoo kindly provided me with a fabulous potty training kit that included coloring sheets, achievement charts with stickers, temporary tattoos, a t-shirt, a super cute cape and Kandoo Flushable Cleansing Wipes and Kandoo hand soap with BRIGHTFOAM® colors.


These products are great. not only are the new and especially for her, they are designed for kids. They have cute packaging and are easy for her to use. Plus, who wouldn't love colored foam soap that smells like melon? She was over the moon with these products. And so am I.

While it is important to me that my daughter like these, it is especially important to me that they actually work. I love that Kandoo Flushable Cleansing Wipes clean up to 30% better than toilet paper. The colorful Kandoo Hand Soap with BRIGHTFOAM® colors lets her (and me) know when her hands are covered in soap for a complete cleaning experience.

She really loved the shirt(although she is almost too big for it) and the cape. She put them on immediately and insisted I take her picture. She is a little diva and these items sure brought it out. I loved every minute of it though, because it got her excited, which was the whole plan.


I told her she was now a super potty hero and that her mission was to use the potty like all other super heroes do. She seems to resonate well with that. She is definitely excited now. She loves marking down her accomplishments on the charts and her cape almost never leaves her side. Kandoo really is super.

I really have had success with the all of the great resources that Kandoo has made available. You can download their Potty Training Toolkit. I am having great success with their Best potty Training Songs for Toddlers. You can even get a coupon to save on Kandoo. Kandoo really is a great sidekick to any potty training hero.

Kandoo can be your potty training sidekick too. In addition to all the amazing resources I mentioned, Kandoo has been kind enough to offer one of these amazing Potty Training Kits to eight (8) very lucky winner. Enter the Rafflecopter below for your chance to win. Good luck.
