CMCO Day 188 ~ Monday, 14 Dec 2020

This is our dinner today crafted by our teenage chef:

1. Butter poached salmon with homemade Aioli sauce and wakame salad
2. Japanese tofu salad
3. Grilled mackeral with Chef S’ homemade teriyaki sauce
4. Onion omelette
5. Blanched broccoli

Dish #4 and #5 were prepped by the mil.

Today’s dinner is slightly costlier than our usual dinner as the salmon and mackeral fillets are expensive. Two small pieces cost over RM50.  Sherilyn has been dishing out chicken dishes for 4 days straight and we had KFC last week on the MIL’s birthday.  And then there extra chicken curry dishes from hubby’s shop.   We’ve all had too much of chicken and now cringe at the thought and sight of a chicken dish  😆.  I told our chef that we’re not going to have any chicken dish for at least a week. Thus, we had fish cooked in two styles tonight 😄

Reasons Why You Should Buy Quality Shoes

Shoes are something that I would not scrimp and save my money on because nothing matters more than walking and running on a super comfy pair of shoes.  You would think that you could buy cheap shoes to save you some money, but that’s just not the case.  Would you save twenty bucks on a cheaper pair of shoes but that pair of shoes are made of cheesy materials that are so uncomfortable that you ended up with corns, calluses and painful blisters on your toes and back of your heel?  Hell no 😅

Most people regard their shoes as one of the most important items in their entire wardrobe, and for good reasons. No matter what outfit you are wearing, if you aren’t happy with your shoes, you’re not going to be contented or comfortable. Whether we’re talking about a pair of running shoes, sneakers, a colorful pair of sandals or a sexy pair of court heels, the right shoes can truly pull an entire outfit together, and any fashion-forward person knows this very well.

As I jog almost every morning and run a lot of errands, I am always in a quality and comfy pair of running shoes or sneakers. My FitBit keeps track of my steps and this motivates me to walk and run more each day. Thus, my shoes are my best partners in helping me achieve over 10k steps each day, comfortably.

Here are 3 reasons why you should invest in good quality shoes:

1. Better protection for your feet
Shoes that cause blisters to your feet may soon end up in the recycling bin. This will also cost you money in blister plasters and medicated cream. Quality shoes with leather lining or soft spongy lining can help to prevent foot odour, besides giving you a soft and comfy feeling when you wear them.

2. Projects a good impression
Carefully crafted, quality shoes look different from cheaply-made equivalents.  It’s human nature for people to judge each other by what they wear and by their shoes in particular.  If your job requires you to meet people frequently, it’s worth investing a little more on a pair of quality shoes to project a more refined image to the world.

3. Confidence boosting
When you buy quality shoes, not only do you invest in comfort but also in your own self-esteem. Do you remember the feeling you get each time you slip into a pair of branded shoes at a glitzy party? The sheer comfort your feet were in and the confidence you had strutting around the banquet hall and just didn’t want to be seated at your table? Feeling confident about how you look makes the difference between having a great day, and an ordinary one. This pair of Pink Satin Pumps would surely make you feel sexy and boost your confidence up a few notches.

What’s your favorite color or motif on your heels? I like mine in black, red, dusty pink or with leopard print! I’ve always loved leopard prints on my bags, outfits or shoes, like this gorgeous pair of Leopard Print Heel Suede Stiletto Heel Pumps from Up2Step.com.

A complete shoe wardrobe is as essential as having a wardrobe filled abundantly with clothing and other important accessories for the various occasions and venues.  Many people easily overlook the least prominent part of an outfit ~ their shoes. However, it is so important to realize that whatever we wear is an integral part of the overall appearance.  Christmas and the year end celebrations are just around the corner. If you need a great pair of strappy heels, pumps or sandals for the year end parties, head over to Up2Step.com to shop for some quality shoes!

Falling Into Substance Abuse and Getting Help

Currently, there are endless ways in which you can fall into substance abuse, which is evidently harmful to health. This activity is a serious social problem and a chronic problem for many people who have to eventually go into Denver Rehab. There are a series of symptoms that are diagnosed as dependence and excessive consumption of certain substances. The person will have these issues below:

  • Desire to consume any drug in a compulsive and intensive way
  • Problems to control the consumption of any illicit substance
  • Tolerance to any type of drug, which makes it necessary to consume higher doses of it

Despite the fact that there is knowledge about the consequences of the ongoing consumption of illicit substances, in addition to the severity in which the body may be compromised, the addict will still persist in their consumption.

The Addicts

Addicts will usually abandon all activities that represent a source of fun or pleasure due to the consumption of psychoactive substances, as well as an increase in the time invested in obtaining it. For this reason, there are places that provide rehabilitation of drugs and other substances that are harmful to health. Denver Rehab is one of the many clinics where there is a treatment to improve their quality of life. However, addiction, unlike other types of diseases, is progressive and its progress can be seen depending on how the alteration has manifested itself at a biological, psychological, and/or social level.

Denial and Deception

It should be noted that it is very common for there to be a denial or, where appropriate, a self-deception in the primary characteristics of the addiction itself. It is important to comment that the direct factors that encourage the individual to try a substance are usually cultural and societal. Their environment is in part the reason for addictions as such, although always and at the end of everything, the decision is made by the individual.

Treating Addiction

On the other hand, in order to treat an addiction, it is important that the most characteristic elements of the dependence are taken into account. Thus, it is also important to note that when the family proceeds to hospitalize a patient in a rehab center, it is possible that there may be confusion about which procedure is better. There may also be confusion in the process since there is anguish, frustration, and hopelessness after months or years of trying to get help for that person.

Conclusion

However, you have to look for the most appropriate information and guidance, as well as find rehab centers that are reputable and known to be able to treat any type of addiction. You mainly want to find a place that provides the best help for the patient to solve their problem and not generate more. Getting into a residential Denver Rehab center should be the first line of defense, even if you have to have an intervention done.
