Supplementation of iron and folic acid is necessary during pregnancy for the creation of extra red blood cells. It is difficult to keep up with the demand of these nutrients (but not impossible) by eating foods alone. Prenatal vitamins can help a healthy diet, but they are not a substitute for a healthy diet. Good sources of folacin are broccoli, beans, spinach, romaine lettuce, eggs, and oranges.

 
 
 

 

Life is what you make it

 

To put it another way, you can't change the cards life has dealt you, but you can determine the way you'll play them.

When Wendy Stoeker of Ceder Rapids, Iowa, was a freshman at the university of Florida, she played third in the girl's state diving championship. She missed first by two and a half points. While swimming in the number two spot as only a freshman on the highly competitive Florida swim team, Wendy was carrying a full academic load.

Wendy sounds like a happy, positive coed, capable of making life whatever she wishes it to be, doesn't she? She is such a person. As a matter of fact, Wendy Stoeker already made life what she wants it to be, even though she was born with no arms. Wendy has no arms, and yet she enjoys bowling, water skiing, and types at over forty-five words a minute. Be encouraged to follow the example of Wendy Stoeker and think positively about what you want in life, regardless of all the obstacles.

Remember, Life is what you make it.

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle.
The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."

Ayn Rand

Avoiding Fashion Blunders

 

Although there are no hard-and-fast rules of fashion, there are ways to avoid looking outdated and tacky. The most important rule of fashion does not involve the clothes you wear, but it does influence the image you portray and carry yourself. When you display a positive image, then you will look more attractive and self-confident regardless of your fashions.
 

Here are a few fashion mistakes you should try to avoid at all times.
 

� Appearing dirty and sloppy: Always look professional. Keep your nails clean and evenly trimmed. Extremely long or uncut nails are a real turnoff, too. Your nails should be groomed and neat.  Make sure your shoes are polished, out-of-date shoes should be thrown out or kept for other occasions. 
 

� Wearing colors that don�t work for you: Experiment with different colors and palettes that look best on you. All colors are good to wear...it is the shade of the color that needs attention. That is why, if you are shopping for a blue jacket, you want to have several shades of the blue and hold each one up to your face to see which one is most attractive. If you don't know, take a friend with you who can give you feedback. Tan and brown skinned people wear bright white best. Black is a non-color that projects an air of mystery. Greens and blues are calming and not threatening. Yellows are sunny and cheery. Astrologers say that gold has the capacity to be emotionally warm, loving, and nurturing and that lovers have a lot of gold energy flowing between them. Silver is suggested if you are going to an outside event because the night sky will play off of it where gold will look drab.
