October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer is very close to my heart as my mother passed away from this disease when I was very young.  In today’s world, she most likely would have survived, due to the advances that have been made in the medical world.  It is my sincere hope that by the time my granddaughters are adults, this disease will be eradicated, or at the very least, easy to detect and cure.

According to Wikipedia, Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), also referred to in America as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM), is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.

This yearly campaign works to educate people about the importance of early screening, testing, check-ups and more.  The campaign starts on October 1st and ends on October 31st every year.

We urge all of our friends, family and customers to be diligent in their exams, both self-exams and doctor exams, and proactive in taking charge of your own health.  This “awareness month” should serve as a reminder to all of us (men and women) to make our doctor’s appointments and take care of ourselves and our health.

Many of the bras that we sell at DreamProuducts.com are sold to surgeons across the U.S. that use our bras post operatively.  In speaking with a doctor’s office once I was told that the front hooks make it very easy for the staff to put the bra on the patient immediately following surgery, and the softness of the material, make them ideal for the sensitive skin after surgery.  Often times women must wear a bra 24 hours a day following surgery and ours are comfortable enough to be able to do that.

Take a moment to look at The Doctor’s Choice Comfort Bra and the Sleep Bra (show image and link to item) that we offer.

Sleep Bras

These bras are great for everyone, not just those who have had surgery.  The cups stretch to conform to monthly fluctuations, pregnancy and/or weight gain or loss.  The front hooks make them easy to put on and take off, and the wide comfortable straps and full coverage backs will quickly make them a favorite of yours too!

Wishing you and your family the best of health and happiness this October!

While there are many things celebrated in the month of September, what could be better than taking a little time out for Self-Care!

In our busy day to day lives, one of the things we often fail to do is take time out to care for our own needs.  We are busy caring for others all of the time and tend to neglect ourselves.  We need to remember that if we empty our own vessel, we have nothing left to fill the vessels of others.  True self-care isn’t being selfish or self-centered – it is essential if we are to stay strong and helpful to others.  Paying attention to how YOU feel, speaking up for yourself and saying yes or no without feeling guilty is paramount to a happy and healthy life.

While this is something we should strive to do every day, let’s start out by practicing in the month of September.  Each day do something nice for yourself.  That could mean taking a 15 minute walk in solitude, getting a massage, speaking out when you would have normally bottled up your feelings, even something as simple as taking a few minutes to simply breathe deeply and take in the beauty around you.  When you are kind to yourself, you will find that it makes you want to be kinder to others as well!

At DreamProducts.com we have a whole host of items that can help you pamper yourself a little and make your life just a little bit nicer.  For example, check out these products:

Here is something to keep you healthier with just a few minutes a day.

Circulation Leg Exerciser

 

Who doesn’t need some foot pampering?

Massaging Foot Spa

 

Curl up with a good book with our Huggle Hoodie.

Check out all the Unique Items At Affordable Prices we have to offer!

Have a wonderful September!  Talk to you next month!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Can you believe it!  2019 already!  The beginning of a new year is a wonderful time to reflect on the prior year, figure out what we did well, and what we’d like to change for the upcoming year!

One common resolution people make is to take better care of their finances in the New Year.  One way to work on that is by shopping at DreamProducts.com where you can get Free Gifts, Free Shipping and find Unique Items At Affordable Prices every day of the year.

Another common resolution is getting organized.  Check out our Shoes Away Organizer! Simply hang it over any standard door and you can store 30 pair of shoes in the see through pockets that provide easy viewing and access!  There are many products on our site that will help you organize your life and your home!

Shoes Away Organizer

And who doesn’t want the New Year to bring us better health and a slimmer body!  In that regard, check out our Fat Freezer .  This non-invasive system helps to sculpt your body by destroying and dissolving unwanted fat cells.

We all know that walking is one of the best exercises out there, but many conditions don’t allow us to take those daily walks.  So how about trying our Swing Master!  Developed by scientists, this comfortable, easy to use system puts no stress on joints or muscles, yet a 15 minute session is equivalent to a 90 minute brisk walk!  It also helps to relieve back issues and body tension while boosting circulation and metabolism.

Swing Master

So as you start this brand New Year, think not only of the good you can do to help yourselves, but also let’s all put some effort in to helping others in our world.  My favorite saying is from Gandhi, “Be The Change You Wish To See In The World!”

On behalf of all of us here at Dream Products, we wish you the Happiest of New Years!

Baby, It’s Cold Outside & My Arthritic Joints Feel It!

February, the month with the fewest days, but frequently the COLDEST days of the year!  Whether you are battling snow, rain or just cold temps, www.DreamProducts.com has what you need to make it to Spring!

In an article I recently read in “Arthritis and Osteoporosis” (see article here: https://www.arthritiswa.org.au/content/page/winter-amp-arthritis.html) I found it interesting that Professor Jamison of Harvard Medical School and Chief Psychologist at the Pain Management Center  advises “…The factor that may be responsible for increased pain is not snow, cold or rain, but actually, a change in barometric pressure”. Barometric pressure (atmospheric pressure) is the force exerted onto a surface by the weight of the atmosphere at any given point. As a storm system develops, the barometric pressure begins to drop.

Jamison explains the impact of barometric pressure on the body through a test conducted with a balloon. “When a balloon is inflated, it has the maximum inside and outside pressure. High barometric pressure that pushes against the body from the outside keeps tissues from expanding.” As the barometric pressure falls, tissues in the body may expand. As the tissues expand, they put more pressure on nerves that control pain signals.

“It doesn’t take much expansion or contraction of tissue to affect a pain trigger,” Jamison said. Therefore even individuals who live in drier climates also reported feeling more pain with weather changes.”

Whatever causes the pain is interesting, but if you are suffering from Arthritic Pain, RELIEF is what you are really seeking.  Having chronic arthritis and osteoporosis myself, I know the pain it causes and the joy I feel when I find something that actually HELPS!

At Dream Products we carry a wide variety of products in our Health & Beauty category that bring blessed relief to many arthritis sufferers.  From slippers that stretch to accommodate swollen feet and surround you in cozy warmth and comfort, to magnetic therapy items that millions of people have believed for centuries, help circulation and pain reduction, to lotions and sprays for pain relief.

Visit our website at www.DreamProducts.com to find what you need to get you and your arthritis through this cold, wet month.  Hold tight……Spring is on its way!

BloodSTOP® Used By SWAT Paramedic Provides Powerful Results

On occasion we come across some great features of our product and recently BloodSTOP® special blood control gauze became the focus of a story about a wounded officer in training.

SWAT paramedic Mark Ocepek was pleasantly surprised to find out how powerful BloodSTOP® is in stopping bleeding when his services were needed by an officer in training. Here’s an excerpt from his story from officer.com:

Officer Ocepek instantly rushed to the aid of his fellow officer with his “trauma bag” — always on him — in tow. After checking the airway, Officer Ocepek’s first order of business was stopping the bleeding. Seeing the severity of the laceration, Officer Ocepek employed a new piece of kit he had received back in November of 2014 — a product called BloodSTOP iX that was being sampled at the SWAT International Roundup, a competition for SWAT teams throughout the country.

Officer Ocepek applied BloodSTOP iX, a water-soluble “hemostatic matrix,” wrapped it in gauze and applied direct pressure. In less than a minute, Ocepek saw extraordinary results. Within 20-30 seconds, the profuse bleeding just stopped — completely. Where there was once flowing blood just about an inch from the officers eye, the wound had been completely sealed by a non-toxic, completely safe gel. Officer Ocepek, who had years of experience at level 1 trauma centers and on the job as a SWAT officer, found the results to be better than any skin glue, other hemostatic agent, and far better than any bandage by itself. (Read the entire story here)

BloodSTOP® transforms into a protective gel that seals the wound and speeds the healing process.

BloodSTOP® acts in less than one minute, easily washes off with water, and can be used for cuts, abrasions, and nosebleeds. Sterile, convenient, and fast, BloodSTOP® is a very effective way to control bleeding.

Runners, walkers, and athletes of all kinds can end up with painful side effects from being active. From tendinitis to heel pain, a little relief is warranted to stay active and healthy.

For many, the Foot Rocker is a great way to warm up and stretch the entire calf muscle from heel to knee, and even help ease pain from:

  • Plantar fasciitis (helps provide less pressure on the heel while stretching!)
  • Achilles tendinitis
  • Shin splints
  • Ankle strain
  • Foot arch pain
  • Leg cramps
  • And more…

Just place your foot on the top of the Foot Rocker and rock into a stretch. You can do this either sitting or standing to stretch different muscles and help improve flexibility.
