Frontwomen

health & beauty, health & society, mumblings No Comments »

Out of curiosity I started googling random frontwomen for bands and the like. Gwen Stefani is so beautiful. Brody Dalle has always been my girl crush, and Hayley Williams’ hair never fails to intrigue and intimidate me.

I’ve never really seen chubby or horizontally challenged women to be frontwomen. Most of the time they have these smoking hot bodies that all the girls would envy and all the boys would drool over. I wonder if these women take weight loss pills to take away all the unwanted fat.

If I had Brody Dalle’s body I would go out of the house wearing a bra and short shorts. Then again I don’t really think I’d be able to pull off looking like that.

Oh god, my insecurities are getting the best of me again.

To be honest, I’m really happy about my body, I just want to get rid of certain stretch marks and some of my belly fat. I’d be good after that!

Childhood Geek

Yes, I admit, I was a nerd when I was young, and I actually looked the part. Instead of going out to party I preferred to stay home, and read books, and I always had this tight ponytail that emphasized my chinky eyes, and I wore braces.

The whole braces thing started when I was in high school. Four of my teeth were not aligned properly, so they bothered me. I asked my mom to bring me to the dentist to have retainers made to fix them because I thought they weren’t that bad, but apparently even if the misalignment isn’t really that serious I still have to wear braces.

I ended up wearing braces for about five years. My mom looked for discount dental equipment online and asked her friends if they knew any cheap but good ones. Our dentist recommended a few but they were pricey. Mom had to make it work so I’d have the pretty teeth that I have now.

The geeky phase was all worth it. I have nice teeth and I can smile proudly now. :)

Fashion Talk

Throughout all these years, in the various eras that fashion has had, all its basic trends and outrageous fads, urban clothing has never been out of style.

I used to think that it took pain to be beautiful, so I actually spent a lot of money buying expensive shoes that hurt my feet. What did I get in exchange for a few compliments? I had to get surgery because the shoe that I have been wearing for months ended up giving me an ingrown nail. My foot ended up looking like it had come home from war because of the various injuries that the shoe gave me.

While my friends were walking around comfortably, I wince every fifteen seconds just for the sake of fashion.

I have learned from my previous mistakes, and now I consider if the shoes and clothes I buy are comfortable enough and are fit for the weather. Following trends blindly never leads to anything good.

Keep that in mind, ladies!

My weight

fitness advice, health & beauty No Comments »

A lot of fitness conscious friends keep asking me how I maintain my weight. I don’t know how to answer them.

Most of the people I meet would not believe that I eat like a carpenter who just came home from work because I have such a petite frame, but when they see me eat they would get mad and complain about how I don’t get fat.

I believe it’s because of the activities I have. I engage in a lot of sports and physical activities, and I never sit still.

Sometimes knowing what the best diet supplements also help, but in the end, it’s up to you and your discipline on what you do and what you eat.

I guess I’m just lucky I don’t get fat too easily! I can’t imagine exerting all that effort just to lose weight, so I salute everyone who is currently under a diet and exercise routine. Seriously!

Troublesome

Nothing worries me like the threat of adult acne popping up on my face at the most inconvenient times.

For some reason, they have their own way of popping up in my face during the most important events of my life. Before my graduation, three acnes showed on my chin, and before my sister’s wedding, I had an acne breakout. It stressed me more than the fact that my sister relied on me to organize the whole thing.

I at least wanted to look decent in the photos. I’m sure my sister would want to look at her wedding photos and show it off to her friends. I don’t want them to refer to me as the sister with a lot of acne!

I’ve tried a lot of products, and went to a lot of dermatologists, but now my search is over. Thanks to my trusted dermatologist, most of my acne cleared up now and I can smile wide in all the photos to be taken in the future.

Realistic Results

I watched Nikita earlier and I couldn’t help but notice Maggie Q’s amazing abs. I started searching for muscle enhancing, post-workout drinks to help me improve my flabby body structure, and I found anabolic halo.

I have never been very confident about my body structure. One of the reasons as to why I have low body self esteem (If such a term even exists) is because I have mild scoliosis. My hip is slightly tilted so I experience back pains from time to time.

I believe that if I reduce my baby fat and turn them into muscle my scoliosis wouldn’t be as obvious and I be more confident about my body, so I decided on this.

I have been worrying about side effects linked to drinks like this, and I saw a lot of positive reviews about this specific products and that it doesn’t have any serious side effects that come with it.

I also admire how this product doesn’t promise something that’s too good to be true. I tend to worry when that happens. They assure results that are realistic.

Leather Crazy

health & beauty, mumblings, tips & tricks No Comments »

I have always found equestrian boots both fashionable and comfortable. I don’t know what it is about leather that fascinates me so, but whenever I find something made out of leather I get this urge to buy it. I find leather appropriate for almost any type of weather, and it looks amazing, too! Not everything gets to be both beautiful and useful. Jackets, shoes, bags and belts. It doesn’t end at that.

Leather shoes and bags are always a must have in everyone’s closet. Make sure they’re high quality and not the cheap ones. In this case, buying cheap imitations to save money up is a not such a good idea, so be wary of what kinds of leather items you buy.

If you know any good shops where I can buy leather products for a reasonable price, please let me know! Share it with me and my readers. I’ll compile a list of all the shops and review them after a few days, so feel free to share great deals!

Blackheads, oh no!

With all the various products that the market offers for each and every thing that all of us goes through, I have one concern. What is the best blackhead remover?!

I have been really stressed with my job and pimples and blackheads are slowly but surely filling my face. I can’t have that– in fact, no other girl could! I at least want to look pretty to compensate for my lack of sleep and leisure.

I have been cooking to get away from stress, but the blackheads just won’t stop coming. Any sort of advice would be greatly needed as I don’t want to just google things and try them out without anyone’s input on how effective I should expect the tool to be.

Please help me out. I would greatly appreciate it. I’m sure there are a lot of women going under the same amount of stress as me who would, as well.

I shall try this soon enough

A friend of mine has recently recommended me to use zenmed, and I can say, I am quite intrigued.

This friend of mine has always been someone with a lot of acne problems during her early teenage years, and she has been teased a lot regarding her acnes. I felt bad for her and recommended a lot of the products that I used, but I guess the effects of the products depend on a person’s skin type and some other factors.

I saw her again after eight years and I can say, her face is really smooth– very similar to that of a hollywood star’s! I wish I was exaggerating.

Her flawless skin puts mine to shame, and I need to try this product, so I will be buying one quite soon, and I shall post a review soon enough.

Have you tried this product? Is it really any good?

Weight loss without exercising?!

fitness essentials, food & nutrition, health & beauty, health & diet No Comments »

At first I thought weight loss products are only effective if you actually exercise daily and refrain from eating too much.

A friend recently proved me wrong. She said that there is such a product called sensa that apparently advertises effective weight loss without diet, exercise or supplements.

I am really intimidated. I have never heard of such a thing. I’m going to recommend this product to all my friends, and see if it really is what it is cut out to be.

I did a little research and found out that it works through a person’s olfactory senses. You just have to sprinkle this above the food you’re about to eat and this will help your body feel full quicker than the usual so you do not overeat.

The science of this product is quite amazing, and I can say, I’m quite impressed.
