*Collaborative Post

Head lice or lice are a contagious disease caused by three types of lice parasitizing the human body. The danger of head lice is that insects can carry some serious diseases into your body. Lice can reproduce only in warm conditions; when cooled below 15-10 degrees, they die. Pubic and head lice lay nits on the base of the hair, body lice lay eggs in folds of clothing. After a week, larvae hatch from them, maturing and feeding on blood. Adults live up to 40 days.

Tips For Jogging With a Stroller

*Collaborative Post

Although running with a stroller can be challenging, it is 100% worth the commitment. It’s the perfect solution to staying fit when you’ve got children to look after and also ensures that you’re all spending a little bit of time outside breathing in the fresh air! What could be better…

But back to the challenging aspect. Running with a stroller is not the same as running without a stroller, for obvious reasons. You’ll have to dress you and your baby appropriately, remember snacks and water for the two of you, as well as plan your route to ensure that you won’t come into any stroller-related difficulties.

We’ve rounded up the most useful tips and answers related to the most common issues that parents face when running with a stroller.

How To Give More Eco-Friendly Gifts This Christmas

Christmas can be such a wonderful time of year – time with family, laughter, celebrations, good food – but it can also be an extremely wasteful time of year. Did you know that here in the UK, we bin approximately 227,000 miles of Christmas wrapping paper each year? Not to mention the 40 million rolls of sellotape, 5 million Christmas puddings, 2 million turkeys, 74 million mince pies and it is estimated that 1 in 5 unwanted gifts will end up in landfill. When you learn facts like this, it certainly makes you look at this festive season in a different light doesn’t it? I have previously covered how you can be more eco-friendly at Christmas in this article so now I want to look at how you can give more eco-friendly gifts this Christmas in the hope that you will not only provide a gift that is better for our planet but one that is also loved by the receiver.

What To Bring To A Cabin In The Woods Vacation

*Collaborative Post

Some vacations are great because there is a lot of excitement. Sightseeing the major tourist attractions, going on rides at an amusement park, and taking in a theater show are all great ways to pass a vacation. Sometimes, however, a vacation needs to be laid back and done in a cabin in the woods.

To get the most out of it, you have to bring the right gear. Whether it is the Point Zero Titan solar generator to run your devices or just having a lot of books to read, what you bring will make or break your relaxing vacation away from it all.
