Pregnancy Travel Must-Haves for Flying - Cubicle Chic

Pregnancy Travel Must-Haves for Flying - Cubicle Chic Pregnancy Travel Must-Haves for FlyingHealth Life, Home Life, Pregnancy, Travel September 20, 2018 9 CommentsHello guys! I am back after an almost-two-month hiatus! I’d like to talk to you about some pregnancy travel must-have’s. But first, a little bit of life update. While there really is no excuse in abandoning my baby blog, there were a few things happening in August/July that took the better half of my mental capacity.I started and finished an online class on Child Development through our local community college.The husband and I traveled to Hamburg, Germany for my cousin’s wedding ceremony for a week and spent a lot of time with families from all over the world. Earlier this month, I finished doing a maternity shoot with my trusted photographer friend Natalie (NatalieAlvarado.com) it was a ton of fun! Stay tuned for the photos later 3 but here are some low-resolution sneak peaks! Last weekend, we just wrapped up our baby shower with our dear friends (35 adults and 12 kids and 3 infants lol) and had a blast. I’m very proud of coming up with the idea of hiring a florist (Flowers A La Carte in this case) to have a flower arrangement workshop as my party favor! Now, I am back today with a new post! In view of our recent trip to Hamburg, Germany, I learned of many hacks (some through painful lessons) that make a pregnant woman’s travel much more comfortable easier.   That’s what I’d like to talk about today:6 Pregnancy Travel Must-Have’s for Flying1. Compression Socks ($15.98 via Amazon)This is a common and self-explanatory tip. Get them anywhere you can, just not last minute at the airport because they’re always a rip-off at the airport. The reason behind wearing compression socks is to keep your pregnant lower limbs from accumulating so much fluid and from swelling. When you have a lot of swelling combined with long periods of inactivity, that’s when you risk for developing a DVT   (deep vein thrombosis) goes up.2. Resistance Bands ($25.97 via Amazon)If you read up online, you will find that it’s commonly recommended that you get up and walk around when you board a flight. Really, you should do that from prolonged periods of sitting, regardless of whether you’re on a flight. But space is limited when you are in flight, and that’s why the resistance bands come in super handy! To get some exercise (especially leg and quad exercise), you simply have to pop one of these on. In the discreet comfort of your own seat, you can get some leg exercise in without troubling your fellow passengers!3. Babymoov Pregnancy Belt ($30.75   via Amazon) This is maybe the SINGLE MOST LIFE-CHANGING pregnancy product I’ve purchased so far. It’s my most recommended  pregnancy travel must-have. After about 28/29 weeks, I haven’t been able to live without it (outside of flying too). But when we went to Hamburg, I found this belt to make all the difference when I was trying to get comfortable in flight. What it does it m ake you ROUND around the middle of your torso so that it’s easier for you to lean against any surface. We had the luxury and privilege to board the flight in business class this time (thank you, United points!) and to my surprise, I still needed the Babymoov belt and was not comfortable without it. Now in my 33 weeks, I cannot sleep without this belt around my waist, and I have been able to do without a pregnancy pillow which is much bulkier and harder to store post-pregnancy!4. Evian Mineral Water Spray ($12.75 for two via Amazon)   (1.7 oz, TSA compliant)This water spray serves two functions, one more obvious than the other. It helps with moisturizing your skin during the ever-so-drying cabin air (and always works better in conjunction with lotion). But the pregnant body (at least mine) goes through these fluctuating temperatures… on our flight to Hamburg, I woke up multiple times feeling super hot, which never happened before I was pregnant. So the spray actually helped to co ol my skin temperature down, and in turn, had an overall cooling effect.5. Wired Headband (4 pack for $9.99 via Amazon)  There’s no other time than during pregnancy that you need simple, easy-to-use, and quick methods to look put together. These wired headbands happen to be one of these shortcuts! I can totally see myself carrying this into my post-partum days. Basically, this is a way to keep your hair (esp. the pregnancy hormone induced little whispy hairs!) out of your face. It’s a little bit of a something that adds a bit glam to your ensemble. For me, I couldn’t wear my usual clothes anymore, so I needed new ways to add more glam to my looks.6. Slippers/Sandals ($40 via ASOS)Again, one of those no-brainers because you will probably not fit into anything else at this point. You lower limbs will also swell to some extent while you are in the air, due to the reduced gravity and cabin pressure change. Get comfortable shoes that you can slip in and out of easily. You will appr eciate it so much… One additional thing is that if you expect a lot of walking on your trip like my Hamburg trip turned out to be (which I was not anticipating), get shoes with cushions. I didn’t, and I was OK the first day (we walked at least 10K steps around the city center in Hamburg). But on the second day, my lower back started to hurt and it was not fun…7. Means of hydrating + access to snacksI was diagnosed with gestational diabetes around my  26th week  of pregnancy. So on top of all the forbidden food and drinks for pregnant ladies, I’ve had to REALLY watch the type of food I consume. But even if you are lucky to have avoided GD, keeping yourself hydrated and fed is super critical during pregnancy. When traveling via flights during your pregnancy, I would definitely encourage you to pack granola bars, protein bars, dried fruits, anything that are small and compact and can provide some quick calories. And of course, bring a water bottle. Many airports are equipped wi th water fountain these days, so you don’t have to worry about buying water or finishing it quickly before passing through security.Make sure you do before departing for your trip: Health Life, Home Life, Pregnancy, Travel September 20, 2018 9 CommentsHello guys!

How to Combat Workplace Distractions

How to Combat Workplace Distractions Modern workforces come with their own modern challenges. With the daily introduction of innovative technologies and tools intended to improve our lives, a new source of digital distraction has been born. For a better understanding of the impact of modern distractions at work, Udemy for Business, a global learning marketplace that helps employees do whatever comes next, surveyed the American workforce. I had the chance to connect with Darren Shimkus, Udemy for Business General Manager, to dive into the findings from its 2018 Workplace Distractions Report: What has led to such a distracted workplace? Our study indicates that employers aren’t doing much to help their workers manage non-stop distractions. In fact, nearly 70 percent of employees say they feel distracted at work, but 66 percent have never discussed solutions with their managers. As a workforce, we’ve become increasingly reliant on technology and devices, but we haven’t stopped to consider the ways they may be undermining our ability to focus and stay productive, especially when workers haven’t been properly trained from the start. What are the top distractions that employees are facing? From our findings, 88 percent of employees cite social media as a top online distractor, however 58 percent of respondents don’t need social media to do their jobs. Of those that require it for work, 76 percent have never received training from their employer on its usage and, perhaps most shocking, we found that 36 percent of millennial employees spend two hours checking their personal devices during the day. Ideally, the time poured into activities that are not work-related can eventually be spent on gaining new skills, developing a growth mindset, and applying what they learn to their jobs. How can businesses combat these distractions to ensure productive employees? With 34 percent of employees admitting that constant interruptions make them like their jobs less, I’d first urge leaders to take distractions at work seriously before it’s too late. In addition to tactical changes like limiting personal technology usage, businesses can foster a learning culture that empowers their teams to leverage training to block out distractions and achieve focus. Not only can employees turn to training to drive smart, efficient use of the myriad of tools at their disposal, but soft skills development also helps employees maintain focus, become adaptable, and ultimately stay productive in an ever-changing work environment. What should companies keep in mind when implementing a learning culture? A learning culture starts at the top and permeates throughout the entire organization. By illustrating company-wide support of a learning mindset, employees are motivated to constantly improve and ultimately, the entire workplace can become more engaged overall. Our survey even found that 70 percent of respondents agreed that a training culture could help block out distractions. As companies take a look at distractions and start the conversation around building a learning culture, it’s important to remember that not all learning styles are created equally. I urge businesses to avoid “cookie-cutter” training models and opt to bring in tools and content that are just as diverse as their employees.
