If you bring your own, make sure that it has current South African maps on it. This is a requirment under South African law. If you're from a country which drives on the right-hand side, it can be a challenge to switch driving sides and requires constant vigilance. This means not driving when you are tired, as you are more likely to lapse into driving the way that feels most natural to you. It also takes time to learn the rhythm of how people drive in another country, so be wary at all times, including being prepared for suddenly stopping vehicles, such as minibus taxis. Watch for aggressive driving. Gary Ronald, spokesman for the Automobile Association of South Africa, says that aggressive driving in South Africa can intimidate people who are not used to it. If you try to drive on roads with potholes and poorly sealed surfaces, damage to the car could leave you stranded and vulnerable. For long journeys, plan your route in advance, and be sure that the car is in good working order, and that you have adequate fuel and cash. Keep valuables out of sight at all times, including when you're in the car. Items such as cameras, handbags, iPods, laptops, parcels etc, should be kept in the boot of the car. When driving through a downtown area that is crowded, keep the car windows closed and all the doors locked. This will prevent anyone from attempting to reach in when you're waiting at traffic lights, etc. Don't give lifts to strangers. Lock car doors when you park. Park in well-lit areas and set the alarm if you have one. If you get lost, ask a police or traffic officer for directions.

If you discover that you are pregnant while breastfeeding, speak with your doctor about whether or not it's safe to continue. There are some circumstances in which it may be unsafe for you to keep breastfeeding your child. If you have a high-risk pregnancy or are at risk for preterm labor, your doctor may advise you to wean your child. If you are carrying twins, your doctor may suggest that you discontinue breastfeeding your child. If you have been advised to avoid sex while pregnant, weaning your child may be necessary. If you are having bleeding or uterine pain, your doctor may advise you to wean your child. Make sure to let your doctor know if you are experiencing any difficulties with breastfeeding to ensure that you don't have any underlying conditions. Many hospitals and doctors offices now staff certified lactation consultants. Consult a certified lactation specialist if you wish to continue breastfeeding while pregnant. They can give you assistance and tips on how best to handle the changes to your body and milk supply, and may have additional dietary and lifestyle suggestions. Ask your lactation specialist any questions you might have about breastfeeding while pregnant including changes to your nipples, milk supply, sex, diet, or the best ways to feed your child. You can find a certified lactation specialist by asking your doctor, a local hospital, or even friends. If you still can't find a lactation specialist, you can find one through the American Pregnancy Organization's online search tool at: http://americanpregnancy.org/first-year-of-life/breastfeeding-while-pregnant/ Women who are nursing have special dietary needs, and if you get pregnant while breastfeeding, you will need to adjust your diet even more to keep you, your child, and your unborn baby healthy. Your OB?GYN should be able to refer you to a registered dietician to discuss your specific dietary needs and how you can best get all of the vitamins and nutrients necessary to keep three people healthy. Nursing women may lack important vitamins and minerals such as calcium or iron, and this can become more acute if you are breastfeeding and suffering from nausea and vomiting due to pregnancy. A registered dietician may help you overcome the nausea while ensuring that you get sufficient nutrients.

A foot soak in lemon juice for about 10 minutes is a great way to remove excess dead and dry skin from your feet. The acid in the lemon juice helps make the dead and dry skin easier to remove. After your feet have soaked for the 10 minutes, use a pumice stone or foot file to remove the dead and dry skin. Foot razors/shavers are available for purchase at many drug and department stores, but are not recommended by doctors. They have also become illegal to use in a spa setting in many states. The reason is that they can cause nicks and cuts on your feet which can very easily become infected - especially in a spa environment. Put a spoonful of olive oil in a small bottle with a lid. Add a few drops of lemon or lavender oil to the bottle. Place the lid tightly on the bottle and shake until the liquid inside the bottle turns thick and milky. Apply to your feet, especially your heels, to help moisturize your skin. You can store the bottle for future use, just remember to shake it each time. Start by having a bath or shower where you wash your feet, or wash your feet on their own. Dry your feet off with a towel, including between your toes. Apply a layer of vegetable oil all over your feet and then put on a thick pair of socks. Go to bed and leave the socks on. You may find your dry feet feeling a lot better in only a few days. The oil may stain fabric, like your socks, so choose a pair of socks you don't mind if they get stained by the oil. The socks will also help prevent your sheets from being stained by the oil. Combine 1 tablespoon (14.8ml) of Vaseline (or a similar product) and the juice from 1 lemon into a bowl, then mix the two ingredients together. Either have a bath or shower where you wash your feet, or just wash your feet on their own. Dry your feet completely with a towel. Apply ALL the mixture to both your feet, then put on a pair of thick wool socks. Go to bed. In the morning, take off the socks and scrub the excess dead skin off your feet. Wool socks are used in this case as they won't allow the mixture to soak through and stain your bedsheets. Choose socks that you don't mind if they get this oily mixture on them. First, melt the wax in a large bowl in the microwave (or a double boiler if you have one). Add an equal amount of mustard oil to the melted wax. Check to make sure that the wax is safely warm to the touch before dipping one foot into the bowl and covering your foot with the wax mixture. Take your foot out of the bowl and allow the wax to dry, then dip the same foot again. Wrap your foot in plastic wrap, or put it inside a plastic bag. Repeat the same procedure on your other foot. Sit for about 15 minutes, then remove the wax and plastic. Mustard oil helps to strengthen and moisturize the skin on your feet.
